As of June 30th, Animal Crossing: New Leaf has sold 1.19 million copies outside Japan, and a total of 5.4 million copies worldwide. This counts both retail and digital sales.
The Animal Crossing games hold a special place in our hearts. They're not free from our judgment, however. Let's rank them all!
BLG writes: "While it didn’t sell as well as the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS was nonetheless a wonderful system. And, while this may be a hot take, it’s easily my favorite handheld. Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."
KeenGamer: "The Nintendo 3DS is officially ten years old, so we thought it would be a great time to highlight the best games on the console. The last dedicated handheld by Nintendo was a unique device that provided many incredible and unquestionably great experiences."
Swap OoT for Majoras Mask and Pokemon for Xenoblade Chronicles and you might be on to something with this list.
I never knew Animal Crossing was such a hit o.O That's an amazing number for any game, no matter how you look at it.
This game is like heroin, you can't describe why it's so good and addicting unless you try it.
But remember, kids. Don't do drugs.
Creating a game that both children and adults can enjoy for hours on end seems to be a challenge for many developers. These guys definitely got it right.
Arrgh - I managed to remove the cart from my 3DS and not play this game for 2 whole days now. I guess I'll swap it back in (removing smt4) and get back to bug catching and fishing and taking care of those pesky neighbors. Sometimes they get sick and if I'm not around to give them medicine I don't know what will happen.
