Customer Ratings & Reviews

Originally, I bought the switch for Mario games, so this was one of the last ones I bought, because everyone speaks so highly of it. Now it is literally the ONLY game I play daily. There’s so many things to do & this game will last you forever. The places you can build, go to, customize. Not to mention it’s adorable and so detailed. I can’t get enough of checking on my island everyday. 10/10

I cant believe how simple this game is yet so addicting. Maybe its being in lock down but I have always liked AC games. This one looks graphically better even tough it retains its simplistic look. just building up my town is a simple and easy joy. Pick up and go and play 5 hours or play 30 minutes. This game doesn't require your complete time. But just enough to want you to reach your next goal. I SIMPLY MUST BUY FOR 2020.

It's a beautiful and relaxing game you can play for hours on end. The devs appear to be slowly adding a bunch more content and patches with each major real life event such as holidays or seasons. Given that this game is meant to be played in real time, all players can experience certain things at the same time which is kinda neat. Yeah it has some clunky mechanics and UI but I think the pros heavily out weigh the cons.

The emphasis is on customization and decoration, so if you are the kind of person who likes to collect, personalize, and just relax with cute animal neighbors, you should definitely pick this up. The November 2021 update and DLC added a ton of new worthwhile content and features as well, but there is plenty to enjoy in the base game.

This is a game that you can lose yourself in for hours. Very tranquil and relaxing, but provides enough challenge to keep you interested. Fair warning, this starts off very slow at first, but picks up steam after the first week or so. True to the original with lots of the same elements, just better and much more visually appealing. Any Animal Crossing fan over the years is going to love this game. Highly recommended!

It's like sims, but cute and it's your own island! you can visit friends island (once you're able to fly, you do need the Nintendo Online subscription to do so though) catch bugs, go fishing, design outfits, customize colors on furniture and equipment! many hours of fun at a time. It is based on real time though, so certain things you do and achieve, will not be recognized til the next day, minus that, fun fun times

Been a fan of Animal Crossing games for years. I love seeing it on the "big screen" and seeing the characters in 3D. Definitely a fun game. A knock against it is that there is only 1 island per console. So you cannot have two separate player have their own island. I have seen a bunch of negative reviews just because of this restriction. I would think Nintendo will be opening it up later in 2020. Happy gaming.

I am not much into Sim type of games, but I got this because a friend of mine recommend this to me. When I started playing, in no time I was playing every day for at least 30 minutes. It makes fishing, bug hunting, digging, and crafting so much fun. Every day there is are new tasks that allows you to earn points to redeem for items and services in the sim world. I don't know why but I go back for more every day.

This game to me is revolutionary. 1) the game syncs to your time zone and weather forecast. If it is morning where you are, it is morning at the island. If it is a rainy (or shinny) day where you are, the island will have the same weather. 2) multiplayer is safer than I have seen in other consoles. Kids cannot talk via voice chat; however, they can text within the game. Also, you will need to input an island code to ask for a multiplayer friend, and that island code is as lengthy as a Microsoft Office key. It will be very hard to just play with just a random person. 3) multiplayer is the best. We have owned Xbox and PS. However, this game alone has been responsible for now owning 4 Nintendo switch consoles at home, just so we can play multiplayer animal crossing as a family. This also means that this is our 4th copy of animal crossing at home, as well. Xbox or PS games never had that effect in this house (the max we had was 2 PS at the house and that was to play call of duty multiplayer zombies). The thing unique with animal crossing is the peaceful, relaxed, family-oriented, little-kids friendly multiplayer collaboration to build/create pieces of furniture/decorations/etc, exchange materials, recipes for building new items, experiencing different villagers emotions from different islands, and the list goes on and on. Highly recommend. Great job Nintendo!

What hasn't been said about Animal Crossing? It's a fun game if you go into it with the right expectations. You get ONE ISLAND per family/Switch console. This means if you want 2 islands, you need a 2nd device. It's really just one player game, if you think of it that way. You can't have 2 people completing all of the story progressions. My kids are so small, they don't care.

I played this game every day and it is really a sweet game, with furniture, customs, houses, and villagers, it is very appealing to many Animal Crossing fans and gamers, even during the pandemic! I would highly recommend it to any gamer who would like to play this game for relaxation and visit islanders/friends local or online!

I have always loved animal crossing, I highly recommend this game. So much thought has been put into it and it’s really evolved but not too drastically. It’s a cathartic and adorable game with sweet neighbors, fun tasks and awesome customizations of your island, home and even your wardrobe. I play with my 7yo who is just in love with this game, it’s good for passing time together. Five stars for sure.

Basically got this just from seeing the hype and memes on Instagram. It is so much fun. If you enjoyed playing mysims on the wii or DS, animal crossing is perfect. No pressure. No stress. Just running around helping villagers, collecting beach items, and having a good time. I have been recommending this to all of my friends and am so excited to play more. Really easy to figure out how to work/play too.

I’ve been a huge fan of the Animal Crossing series since I was a child playing the original on the GameCube. This game is a perfect addition to the series!! The customization is incredible, the gameplay feels very natural, and the overall game is flawless! It’s super easy to get lost in this game for hours! It’s definitely worth getting the Nintendo Online service too so that you can play with friends!

So I am still working this game, but what I can tell is that the play to started the island gets to make most of the rules. You can now place items inside or out and as you play you seem to unlock more skill and stuff to do. Couch multiple player is follow the ladder, but it's easy to change the leader. You can buy stuff and make stuff from collected stuff! The game keeps you coming back for more.

I bought this game for my wife and she absolutely loves it and never stops playing it. Price is reasonable but it would be nice to see the price drop at some point. Overall fun game to play and its even better when you have someone to play with .

Fantastic game to socialize with family and friends online. You can build anything, customize your house, decorate your place, and you can even design your own patterns for furniture and clothes. My favorite part are all the activities you can do. Like fishing, digging up fossils, catching insects, collecting various items, and also playing mini games with other neighbors and friends.

Absolute must-buy if you own a Switch. Like no other game. Showcases how well the system can run and handle graphics when in the hands of the right developers. This game is packed with things to do and slowly unfolds itself over time depending on how much you put into it and how you like to play. Regular meaningful updates keep adding to the value of this title. Definitely recommended!

The game overall is beautiful, as a long time animal crossing veteran this game has been a huge jump in visuals. I played this game everyday for months upon receiving it. There is a good amount of content that will last you a while. The new features that allow you to freely customize the geography of your island creates tons of opportunity to have a beautiful island. After playing for a while, you get your island to how you want and you become left with doing your daily tasks. So, not much left to do. On top of that, the amount of furniture in the game seems to be significantly less than previous ones. Nintendo is putting out more updates for the game and plan to do so for a few years. Hopefully this will help fill the void of content that feels missing from the game.

Animal crossing has always been the greatest time waster in video games. It's a peaceful way to spend hours away from reality and gives you a great sense of accomplishment as you live day to day in your virtual paradise. Graphics are amazing and playing on a big screen made me fall in love with this game even more. If you've been a fan of the series in the past, you will NOT be disappointed!
