    Purchased this game for my son and myself. We both were able to play using a Nintendo Online Family account which we purchased for a reasonable amount yearly. It is a good clean game with good humor and it’s very open in the sense that you can customize just about anything once you reach a certain point.

    My 9 yr old daughter loves this game! Says it’s so much fun and loves that she can “visit” her friends and family with the game. If you are looking at this game for a little one, keep in mind there is a good amount of reading that has to be done to play so not recommended for younger ones that can’t yet.

    This is the best game in the entire world. I am 22 years old and I’ve been playing animal crossing since it was on the game cube. I literally begged my dad for a switch just so I could play this game. I’m so obsessed. I love it so much. Best $60 I’ve ever spent. For sure. Get it. You’ll be addicted

    Animal Crossing is an excellent Switch game, and one I've already put a ton of time into in the few days I've had it. If you're looking for a new way to waste your life, this game is totally it. Best Buy shipping was, as usual, excellent and arrived in the 1 day advertised.

    Where do I start? Turnips? Bridges? Chill? Yup it has the things you would expect an animal crossing to have. This is the best release for this series ever. Highly recommended. It’s one flaw? One island per nintendo switch. So if you’re a one switch household, prepare to share your island with your family.

    A little late to the whole animal crossing trend but I must say the game is highly addictive after playing for a few days. Being able to craft and customize mostly everything is really appealing and worth adding to your collection of games

    With the COVID-19, I decided to play animal crossing for first time. Oh boy, you will be stuck in the dream land with lots of thing to do and collect. If you own Switch (it is really hard to get now) and like Minecraft games, You definitely should play this!. I am hook and can't think of it everyday!

    I bought this game because i wanted the animal crossing edition of the switch because of its colors. I thought it would be weird not to have the game. I totally have no regrets. Im loving this game tons & very easy to learn the game play. I also get to play with my friends.

    Great low stakes and peaceful game. Besides the obvious annoying fact that you only get one island its fun and great for the family. Some minor things that would make the game better: ability to go into the water on the island (swimming, wading in the water, threading). I feel like it would be more realistic if you could go into the water. Also, the ability to jump on command would be nice. The view of avatar seems a bit limited especially when your view is blocked by a tree. None of these things would keep me from buying the game. Probably my favorite game on the switch and worth every penny.

    This game is a wonderful continuation in the series. The graphical updates are stunning. The game has enough of the tedious/ mundane tasks that keep the game going. The randomization of fish/ insects/ and other tasks like popping a balloon, chopping wood, designing your home makes this game a joy and wonder.

    There is nothing better than animal crossing, especially during these crazy times. One funny thing is that the game supports something that the Switch OS does not - messaging! You can send real time messages to friends who are also playing the game. Plus this game has received numerous updates and support.

    Although it starts out a little slow, you’ll be back into the animal crossing routine by the second hour of playing. It’s a great game to play for a little bit at a time, perfect for casual gamers. But it also has expansive options for extended play, including visiting other islands, grinding for bells, etc.

    I've played most of the other Animal Crossing games and this one is by far the best! There are a lot more activities and goals in this game and it helps pace the game so you don't get bored of it easily. The activities are simple and easy enough to do in a day or two but are all a part of the bigger picture!

    I love the attention to detail when it comes to the items that are in the game. All the characters are so cute as usual. I especially love the concept of animal crossing with getting to design the land however you like!

    A lot of fun to play with family. 5 year old daughter enjoys it. We can all play on the island together. Requires a lot of reading though so adult is needed close by if a child is playing and trying to actually progress through the game.

    I play this with my daughter, it is a fun and time consuming game. We both have Switches, and it is nice to be able to play a relaxing game that isn't a sweat-fest, If you like building, exploring, collecting, and just playing a game that is fun and relaxing, then give AC a try!

    Was looking for New Horizons for my nephew to spend the time while locked up at home with COVID. Everywhere was sold out or overpriced but Best Buy thankfully had one in stock for purchase. My nephew is now having so much fun, and it's a struggle to actually get my nephew to take a break from the game.
