A new video comparison has come in for Animal Crossing: New Horizons showing how the game has improved on Nintendo Switch 2 compared to the original Switch.

Nintendo released a handful of improvement updates this past week for various games, but Animal Crossing: New Horizons wasn’t one of them. Still, the new system alone is able to run it better thanks to the more powerful hardware.

Animal Crossing multiplayer improvements

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.

Nintendo Switch best DLC

As the Nintendo Switch’s long eight-year life span comes to a close, we’re taking the time to rank five of its very best DLC expansions. Nintendo released quite a few big DLC packs, which added tons of life and longevity to their respective titles. Most of these are fine additions, but some of them distinctly stand out among the rest as incredible additions to their respective base games.

Animal Crossing New Horizons best-selling physical game

Animal Crossing: New Horizons set another record within the past few days, and it has now become the best-selling physical game of all time in Japan.

Famitsu reported today that for the week of December 16, another 15,536 copies were sold at retail. That brings the game’s total physical sales to 8,008,343. No other game in Japan has ever managed to reach that mark – Pokemon Red and Greed previously held the record having sold 7.93 million copies. If digital sales were included, the number for Animal Crossing: New Horizons would definitely be much higher.
