NowGamer - Animal Crossing: New Leaf is about as ‘Nintendo’ as games come, and while that’s not often a bad thing, as our Animal Crossing: New Leaf review will prove, in this instance it is.
Which is weird, because this is by far and away the best Animal Crossing game yet. There’s more to do, it’s more fully-featured than ever before and there’s much more customisation available as your hamlet grows.
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.
