Customer Ratings & Reviews

First off, a special thanks to the folks at Best Buy for keeping enough copies of this game in stock and for remaining open to provide us with this entertainment. Secondly, this game is absolutely wonderful. Bought for my wife and she has been absolutely enthralled by it when she finds the time. I've even picked it up from time to time and I absolutely recommend everyone to at least give it a try. It is incredibly therapeutic and relaxing.

My 10 year old said she liked it because you feel like a real person in the game and can explore and make your island a town! Very creative

This is my second Animal Crossing game, with New Leaf being the first. If you're like me and usually prefer fast-paced games or if this is your first AC game, there is a bit of a learning curve, but once you get your island up and running you'll be surprised how fast time flies by while you're playing. There are no real objectives, but that's the beauty of the series. The experience is your own. I wholeheartedly recommend this game to anyone.

Adorable characters and great graphics. Lots of ways to customize you island and make new AC friends.

This is...THEE best game ever. I am humble enough to admit that I don't play video games but this...this is art. Not only does it belong in MoMA (the Museum of Modern Art), but it also belongs in everyone's homes. The video game execs were on galaxy brain mode way back in 2001 when they came up with this one boys. Seriously though buy it. In times like these it truly is a source of pure, wholesome entertainment. 69/10 recommended, great game.

If you wished for more customization and control of your towns then you'll love the island they give you to make your own. It takes a few real life days of play in order to unlock all the customization options, but after that you can really make your island town look exactly how you want it to be. The collectible aspect of bugs, clothes etc. is still there, but the full customization you're allowed is what makes with one the best yet IMO.

Excellent Free Time experience! Easy to understand & exercise your imagination! A+ Quality

Purchased this game for my fiance for her birthday. She loves playing this game, especially in handheld mode. There’s an online community of millions of people who share tips on how to construct unique islands on youtube, reddit, blogs, etc. Recommend this game to anyone regardless of age!

Great fun, my daughter played for hours and enjoyed, great addition to family game night.

A cute cozy game that any age will enjoy. Just beware of the spiders at night.

I got this game right during the COVID-19 locked down. Super addictive. Sold out everywhere. Let me tell you this, I can not wait the next day and play naturally so I have to skip the day and play the game faster. So yes, I cheated so that I can enjoy the game faster. I love this game and you will love this game. I am 27 years old and a little child and up can play Animal Crossing. This game is a great game to kill time.

My daughter absolutely loves this game. Great for all ages

This is a really great game for kids just getting started with Switch.

I haven't played AC since the original one for gamecube but man I've had a blast with this every day. It's definitely a slow burn game where I only play 30 min to an hour each day to do my daily activities and then I'm done for the day. It's really charming and simple and in game events and holidays are really fun to participate in. I highly recommend for kids or people who just like simple daily sim games.

This game is a really great addition to the series but there are a few things that could be improved. Multiplayer is lacking in activities compared to Animal Crossing New Leaf and crafting multiples of the same item (fish bait) can be tedious because you have to do one at a time. If they improved multiplayer and added an option to craft multiple items at once I would have no complaints. Overall this game was definitely worth the purchase!

This game has kept me sane during many, many hours of staying at home to social distance during the Coronavirus pandemic. How many hours? Somewhere around 250 so far. My biggest complaint is that I wish there were a more interactive multiplayer component so you could, for instance, play pool with a friend if you bought a pool table in-game. Still, overall it's hard to argue with a game that has given me that much play time.

Fun the whole family can enjoy. Great Animal Crossing adaptation that will fill the hours of the day.

I bought this game so that me and my little sister could play along with our friends, and to escape everything happening in the world for a bit. It definitely keeps us busy, and the ability to work together on the same island and leave each other presents and messages in the mail, as well as work together to design our island is honestly the best fun. I absolutely recommend this game to anyone who is thinking about purchasing it.

I'm not a video game person. Honestly the last game I played was on a gameboy back when I was in the 1st grade. The games now kind of stress me out with all the shooting and punching and constant pop out scares, but this game is different. It's relaxing and fun and super addicting. I've played every day for at least an hour since I got it. Not to mention everything is absolutely adorable. I don't know anyone who wouldn't like this game.

I have never played an Animal Crossing game before and I can’t believe I’ve missed out for so long. I can’t put it down. If you would have told me before March 20th that I would spend evenings on a virtual island with other players while watching a meteor shower, I would have laughed until I passed out. Now, while I’m at work I can’t wait to get back to my island. You deserve something nice. This is that nice thing. Treat yourself.
