4 ways the next Animal Crossing could improve multiplayer
Posted on 7 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo, Switch | 0 comments
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.

Posted on 10 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
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.
