"Hi. My name is Jeff, and I’m addicted to Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
Okay… um… I spent about 145 hours since June 28 playing the game almost every day up until a couple of weeks ago. I just needed to stop because… it honestly doesn’t make sense why I would keep playing it. There is no good aspect that stands out."
The Animal Crossing games hold a special place in our hearts. They're not free from our judgment, however. Let's rank them all!

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.
Good call. This game had great potential, but inevitably fell into the same pit as the previous AC: running out of things to do. A guy can only fish for so long. This game hopefully will be massive on Wii U. Even being the mayor was a pain. Having to wait for suggestions from the townspeople is just silly. I played for months without having a police station. Or even the Option of one. Animal crossing could be a sleeper hit on Wii U, but they have to keep players busy.
