Customer Ratings & Reviews

I pre-ordered this and received it to my house from Best Buy the day of release even with everything going on. I have played the previous games and I have to say this has to be the best one so far. You get so much freedom to customize your island compared to previous games and the graphics are great. The free updates always add fun new things so you're never bored.

My 14 year old received this for both a Bday gift and something to keep her occupied while being stuck at home. She plays online with her sister who lives out of state as well as her friends. This is her first Switch game and after seeing the graphics I plan on getting her more games.

10 Year old daughters favorite game! Easy to play with friends.

[Employee of bestbuy] I got this game and it was a hit for myself and my girlfriend! Honestly might have to purchase another swith just to play! I love how calming and the nature of it. There is no race, nothing urgent, its just a smooth easy game.

The newest entry in the Animal Crossing series is done fantastic fun. Everything you loved about previous entries is back, along with some fun new features, and improved visuals. My biggest gripe is that tools continue to break throughout the game (even golden tools, I've heard) which really just works out to be an annoyance instead of any kind of challenge. 9.5/10

Fun and entertaining game. Keeps my kids engaged for a while.

My second AC game and I felt it's a great entry to the series. The change from towns to islands keeps it fresh and I love fishing in this game. There's something about fishing and catching bugs that feels so relaxing. My only problem with this game is the villagers' convos don't feel as deep as previous entries, but that's more of a Nintendo issue.

I love this game, It is very fun! I love how you can play with others

This is such a cute game for everyone to play. Unlike the previous animal crossings, you can invite other player in the same console and enjoy the numerous activities to do. Not graphic heavy and easy to learn and develop with the occasional frustration of Nintendo’s changes. Overall you can play this all year round and have new things to explore and collect.

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.

My daughter wanted to play this game, and I was hoping we could find it for less than $59. No luck, but at least we did same-day pickup. Best Buy brought it out right away when we checked in for drive-thru pickup. My daughter loves the game, and it’s great, wholesome entertainment. You can also play with others online if you sign up for a Nintendo On-line account.

Love this game. Best buy delivery was quick and wonderful

We love it so much it is great we love it so much o

I bought this for my kids to play during quarantine and they loved it so much I had to buy a second copy so they could play together on their islands. The only downfall is there is a lot of reading involved and if my 7 year old isn’t there to help my 5 year old I get stuck with “mommy what does this say” over and over again. I don’t mind helping her though.

A Must have Game, I can spend hour on it . My family love this game

I ordered this for my wifes Christmas present with my Best Buy app. It arrived in good time. She loves this game and fonds it strangly addictive. She says she enjoyed the new features.

First things first, My kid loves this game, one of her all time favs already. The game is good but all it would take to make it great is a few software updates. There is literally zero reason why Nintendo has made it where you cannot import your island on to another switch system. You would have to completely start over if get another switch. Also, while coop sounds great, the second player cannot do very much but follow the leader basically which is player one. Player 2 also does not get all of the task and story things that the first player to start the island gets. The game is best played in little chunks of time each day, even then though it does feel tedious after awhile. Needs more updates adding more things to do.

Bought this along with a Switch console for my girlfriend when the pandemic started knowing she would need something to do inside while I also gamed. She has put over 1,000 hours into this game and loves it, it's actually a little scary. Definitely a fun game for kids/adults.

Animal Crossing is a great game for any age (I’m 48). Building your island is fun and relaxing. You can explore, catch bugs, dig for fossils and fish. Unlike most games today, there is no pressure to advance and you play at your own pace. I play it every night before bed to help me relax.

My twin boys, did extra chores to save up for this game. So when I asked them to explain the concept to me I was surprised to find out you basically are encouraged to play the game daily and complete chores. They can visit each other’s island, and do to quarantine they showed me one day they were “reclaiming their summer” by just hanging out on the beach.
