Compared to other easily-ranked Nintendo franchises, Animal Crossing is a bit different. At the time of writing, there are only a handful of main series Animal Crossing games and even fewer spin-offs. Most of them are incredibly high quality and well-received by fans, with only a small number of exceptions. There also aren’t quite as many games in the Animal Crossing series compared to some of Nintendo’s other juggernauts – these games take a long time to develop, and we suspect it’ll be a while before we see a new Animal Crossing game on Nintendo Switch 2.
In the meantime, we’ve made our own subjective list of the best Animal Crossing games, ranked from worst to best. Do note that we’re not including Animal Crossing Plaza (which really had very little to it) or Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp; the former is defunct and we’re focused more on Nintendo platform games for this ranking. Here’s what we came up with.
The other day, I was thinking about Spyborgs. The first question some of you may have is: what the heck is that? And some of you might be wondering why.
I can’t tell you why I was thinking about Spyborgs, as it randomly popped into my head. But as for what it is, Capcom originally released it exclusively on Wii in 2009. Bionic Games made the game and would end up shutting down not too long after.
Back during the Wii era, before Spyborgs launched, it was a bit of a big deal within the Nintendo community. The console wasn’t exactly getting a ton of hardcore titles, and especially with Capcom publishing, the game was receiving a good amount of attention. The whole thing kind of turned out strangely – the project ended up going through a shift, moving away from a cartoony look and towards a more mature style. Ultimately that didn’t matter as the game came out to not much fanfare.
Especially in the Nintendo sphere, games like Mario, Zelda, and Metroid come to mind. But have you recently been thinking about a random game, one that hasn’t ever really been in the spotlight? Let us know in the comments.
