The thing that pleases us the most about New Leaf is that it’s on a handheld. Untold hours were wasted playing Animal Crossing on GameCube, and Let’s Go To The City on Wii was all well and good, but it’s 2005’s Wild World on the DS that we have the fondest memories of. For a ten minute play or an hour long session Animal Crossing is ideal for either, making it perfectly suited for on-the-go gaming.
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.
Glad to see Acnl getting such high scores, well deserved my first time playing AC game and greatly enjoying it.
