Customer Ratings & Reviews

At first I was extremely upset that this game was getting pushed back for a Spring 2020 release, but now that I'm trapped at home all day everyday for the Shelter-In-Place, I couldn't be happier that it released when it did. Think of it as a mini-life simulator without death, taxes, or politicians. It's an incredibly relaxing escape from everything going on right now.

This game has seriously saved me so many nights being bored. Also has made my sleep pattern an issue. I used to play AC on GameCube and later on the DS. So happy it finally came out for the switch. Note: if you have children make sure you buy them their own switch and copy. It’s one island per console. My son wreaked havoc on my island until I got him his own.

First be warned that this game can become addicting!! It is a blast to play and can teach kids a few things about animals and even money management. My elderly mother even loves playing! The only downside is that you can only have one island per console, but I guess that’s a smart marketing tool so people buy more consoles, which I did! Overall a wonderful buy!

Christmas Gift for my Sister, also got her the Switch with it!

My kid is having so much fun with this game. It’s a cute game.

Enjoyable game! If you loved the original Gamecube game or the off-shoots for the DS, you will enjoy this game. You get to see fan-favorite villagers from past games to new and original characters for this game. Nintendo always has seasonal events to keep the game active and the new DLC to keep you busy.

Great game to sit down and chill with. I like it better than the 3DS one.

Awesome quirky game. Really customizable and laid back feeling. Well done

I love games like this as I am not a big "gamer" and do not enjoy shooting games (I am terrible at them). We had the very first animal crossing and I have been looking for this game since on a similar platform. I wasn't excited that I needed to purchase the switch to play the game but at least it was Christmas and could be asked for as a present.

My son loves Animal Crossing and played the last two games a ton. Once I opened the game after it came in, he’s been playing it at a steady clip. He says it was worth the wait (pre-ordered this well over a year ago back when we pre-ordered fire emblem). Another must have for all Switch owners!

I was a little fearful to purchase this game, considering, everything was being lockdown, money was tight, and I didn't know if I would have more coming in. So did I need this? By all means no, but if you are a fan if this series, you know that this game basically allowed you to live life abeit virtually, and during these months of staying in, it was well worth it.

Outstanding graphics, gameplay and tons of fun, run don't walk to buy it!

This is the coolest and easiest game to play and it highly addictive.

The best Animal Crossing game so far in my opinion. Tons of replayability/come-back-ability for things like customizing your town and the huge number of craftable recipes you can collect. Biggest downside for me was the lack of some of the old items and furniture sets, though hopefully those get slowly added in over time through free updates.

My daughter loves this game! Cant put it down. Her first switch

This game is perfect for current times, keeps you busy. While you are playing you have to look for your creativity side in order to build up your island from scratch. This is a different game but definitely fun and time consuming. By the end of it all you will be satisfied with you island and being able to share it with your friends and family as it is very interactive.

This is exctally what you expect from an animal crossing game. The core gameplay has remind the same for 20 years. If you are new to the series what have you been waiting for, a must own for the switch! If you have played a game in the series before than you know what to expect. More of a great thing is always great!!

Kid's are all having a blast with this game! It is very family friendly and fun(for kid's and adults alike). It can just be a fun innocent outlet for the kids to spend a little time in and be creative! Even non-kids will have fun with this one, a very relaxing no stress environment that is welcome distraction to these challenging times.

This is a great game if you are on a 18 hour flight otherwise it is too much to try in a short time. It leans on the boring side because you are trying to do everything they ask and it can get redundant.

Ive loved this game since it was first released on the Wii. Its so much fun and also such a chill and calming game. I will always be a fan of this one!!!
