One of the most highly-criticized features of Animal Crossing: New Horizons is its multiplayer system. Strangely enough, though, multiplayer was also one of the reasons the game became such a runaway success. It released during the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, which played a big part in why New Horizons sold almost 50 million units. Players were able to use Animal Crossing as something of a communication medium during this time – where people couldn’t meet up and hang out in real life, they still could in Animal Crossing to an extent. That being said, once players actually visited each others’ islands, they found that there wasn’t all that much to do. You could take others on a quick tour of your island, but that wouldn’t take much time After that, all that’s left is to walk around and look at things. Animal Crossing’s multiplayer has always been like this, to an extent, but its shallowness kind of hit a peak with New Horizons.
So today, we’re looking at multiplayer in the Animal Crossing series and how Nintendo could improve it for the next game in the series. There’s real potential for something great here, and we have some ideas on how to make it much better.
Every now and then, a game is announced and / or released that you can’t believe actually exists. This could be for various reasons – series that seemed finished, games that get sequels despite the originals not selling well, and more.
For me, there are probably three that immediately come to mind. The first one involves Xenoblade Chronicles – while it’s a fairly successful series for Nintendo these days, that wasn’t always the case. Fans will remember how they had to beg for the first game to be released in North America. The fact that we ended up getting a game beyond the original is an accomplishment in its own right, but now the franchise has various games and Monolith Soft is one of Nintendo’s most prolific developers. It’s crazy to think about how Xenoblade started and where it is today – multiple games, Smash Bros. representation, and even amiibo figures.
