Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch

If this was a single player experience, 5 stars easy. Unfortunately, I got a copy for myself and for my 2 nieces and nephew so I could play with they live in a separate state. Ive been having a great time, them, not so much. They are fighting, yelling, screaming and crying because the leader keeps popping them where they dont want to go. My sister fixed it by having them only play 1 at a time so local multiplayer is a useless feature in my opinion. Ive been visiting my oldest nieces character and decided to visit the younger one but it turns out you cant just link 1 Nintendo account to all users on the switch and use the paid subscription to do any multiplayer unless you are the main player of the game. My oldest niece had to clear out her inventory so they wouldnt mix up whats her and hers sister after the younger one visited me with her sisters character. It was such a headache to call them up and try to help them over the phone to only realize they couldnt do it and we had to figure something else out. Personally, I give it 5 stars for the single player since its a slightly better version of the previous games. Ive been enjoying myself and so have my nieces. Just NEVER TOGETHER (remember this rule and it will save your family a massive headache). This was suppose to be a positive review but knowing the experience my sister and brother-in-law went through, Im compensated the rating. Its like older animals crossing games except now youre locked to 1 island per console instead of 1 town per cartridge but $260-$360 is far more expensive than just an additional $50-$60. I can get why people would be mad. I hope Nintendo fix the Call Resident issue or just get rid of it altogether. My oldest niece who is 8 mentioned Why isnt it like Mario Kart with the split screen?! and I had to tell her, Its complicated?

Let me preface this review by saying I am a very hardcore Animal Crossing fan- Ive played all of the games except the original GameCube and Im pretty picky about the new games sticking to the original tone of Animal Crossing. So I will say that when the ads for this game came out I was kind of negative about the whole thing- it looked so different from the older games and I was wary of it. But let me say that I honestly think this is the best Animal Crossing game since City Folk and possibly even on par with it. First of all the art is incredible- its a new twist on the old style but its so amazing to watch (even just the way the wind is animated to blow) that you cant be anything but impressed. The new crafting features on the island lend so much more possibilities for the game- no more days of wandering around the town wondering what to do with your day because youve done so much fishing and bug catching theres kind of no point. Its honestly a bit like Minecraft and Animal Crossing had a cool superior baby of a game and it definitely gets you hooked. Blathers is back and theres the option for him to give his old speeches that old fans will remember from earlier games. All in all, it keeps to the old Animal Crossing tone much better than New Leaf (definitely better than Welcome Amibo or Campground) with lots of cool new features that really fit in well with the old spirit. I am a big fan!

Highly recommend

This is such a good game. I’ve been a fan of the series for many years, and you don’t need to have played the others to play this one. Easy to understand controls, beautifully relaxing music that changes based on the weather and time, The dialogue consists of cute conversation starters that really illustrate how much the developers care about the individual playing the game. My daughter falls asleep to the jazzy music and that’s a big plus, too!

I love animals crossing i play it everyday

I am a fan of the series and I shave been waiting forever for this game! I know it’s only a day out but there are already so many great changes that I cannot help but to review it. First and foremost, the ability to customize your character is awesome! There are different skin tones, eye shapes, hairstyles, and noses. Admittedly, there aren’t an abundance of options (3 noses, half a dozen hairstyles, 6??? Skin tones— can’t remember) but it’s enough to have some fun. Nook tickets! I thought they were going to be lame like the voucher system on Animal Crossing Pocket Camp but they are actually cool because you can use them to pay off your home, buy things, and probably other stuff I haven’t discovered yet. There are four island layouts to choose from which are quite similar but have a ton of water features which I love (WARNING: there are no bridges so if you plan to build your house somewhere far north you’re not as there is no early access to land blocked off by water). The DYI feature allows you collect cards (ie fishing pole, net, etc.) to learn how to build those items for free after collecting the right amount of items (sticks, weeds, etc). That being said, poles and nets break after time meaning you’ll have to collect more items to build them in Nooks Workshop (free but annoying). Your pockets can hold more too and are automatically grouped together! Overall the game so far is delivering on its promise. Will update.
