Customer Ratings & Reviews

New Horizons is another addictive entry in the Animal Crossing series. You move to a deserted island that you can develop into a thriving place with cute animal residents. Activities include fishing, catching bugs, watering flowers, and decorating your house. It's a pretty calm game that's appropriate for all ages. I last played the series with New Leaf for 3DS, and I'm definitely enjoying myself again this time around.

I absolutely love this game!!! I can play it for hours and hours. I’m 37 FYI. It’s just very relaxing. Also Best Buy was fast on the delivery... So glad I was able to find it bc target GameStop,etc were all sold out!!!! Please get it you won’t be sorry. Also this game I play on the Nintendo switch lite I would buy the physical copy bc if you download the digital copy you can only play when you are connected to WiFi.

I have played Animal Crossing since it first came out on Gamecube and I have enjoyed every entry to the series. I was so glad to know I could buy this online and pick up in the store on release day. I have been playing it nonstop and am so very happy it was available for pre-purchase the day before release. I will very gladly put future pre-orders through Best Buy so I can continue to buy online and pick up at the store.

Such a cute game for the kids. Sort of like a treasure hunt inside a board game.

Animal Crossing has kept our family of four from killing each other during the coronavirus pandemic and has given us a reason to look forward to tomorrow. I have made the home office of my dreams in my A.C. house and will sometimes have my character just sit in there (in real life I am teaching college courses from my bedroom). If only we could share the Switch but all have our own islands and then it would be perfect.

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 was like other people who were on the fence and wasn't sure about this game. I really didn't understand the appeal of it and I decided to give it a try because of all the good things I've been hearing about it. Wow, this game is really fun and relaxing! Me and my girlfriend haven't been able to put it down! If you're undecided, give it a chance like we did and it might change your mind. Great way to pass the time!

Great fun game! Live this game and playing it on my 86 inc tv makes it even better!

I've loved this series ever since I got Animal Crossing: Wild World. For old players it's the same game but revamped in a way never imagined. For new players it's an experience that's very unique and I don't believe can be found anywhere else. It's a calm and soothing came that also can keep your attention from the moment you land on the island. I would love for others to experience this game.

Very fun game! A lot to do in the game and I recommend it to everyone

This is my first Animal Crossing game and it has made me an AC fan for life. I am obsessed with my little island where my life is so much better than it is in the real world. I'm cuter, I know how to swim, and I'm not afraid of bugs. I'm also so much better at saving money in the game than in reality. How does that work? Could someone explain it to me? I need therapy for my shopping addiction

My daughters are both over 16 and have loved Animal Crossing since they were little, and it was a Wii game. So glad it's available for the Switch now. It's a fun and clean game and teaches about buying, selling, creating, home ownership, getting out of debt etc. etc. Nintendo also has an option to buy a yearly membership to be able to play with each other on- line when you live in two different households or towns.

It's more of a life simulation with quirky characters, collectibles, habitat customizations, and little surprises here and there with no major conflicts or world ending scenarios. Fish, dig, chop trees, create furniture and tools, sell things, and catch bugs. Then you rinse and repeat. Personalize your whole island and show it off to your friends. A good game for those who want to play in a stress free environment.

I bought this game as a Christmas gift for my wife..she absolutely LOVES it amazing game

So much fun!!!! I love playing this game!!! Need more friends to play with me.

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 game is really enjoyable! Day 1 pick up and there's always something to do on that island. But the game isn't made for players looking for a story or deep mechanics. This game is made to be simple for those looking to de-stress, whether you've had a bad day or just feeling lonely. WARNING, This game registers 1 island per console, so if you are sharing a console with multiple accounts expect to share the island.

I pre ordered this game as my first animal crossing game Ive ever played and it was the best game purchase I’ve ever made! Ive had the game for about a month now and, especially with everyone having to stay home, I have easily gotten in over 200 hours of gameplay! Theres so much to do in this game that even after playing as many hours as I have, I still have a lot of work to get done on my island! Highly recommend!

Super fun game, quick to get a hang of and gives you step by steps on what to do.

Daughter adores this game. Even I like playing this fun game.
