I'm enjoying the painstaking Animal Crossing: New Horizons fan creations far more than I am Animal Crossing proper right now. We already had the amazing Zelda: Link to the Past island that took three straight days of terraforming to make, a...

Good old Nexus Mods. If I ever need a laugh or a mod that adds replay value to an existing game, I can count on that site to deliver. Animal Crossing's Isabelle is now a part of a recent horror-tinted shooter, just not the one everyone expe...

"Bunny Day" probably wasn't supposed to be a waking nightmare. But if my social feed is anything to go by, then the jolly Easter event appears to be responsible for a lot of anguish on my friends' part. If you too find yourself haunted by s...

[Image courtesy of Eggsandjakey] Animal Crossing: New Horizons launched just as most parts of the world really started to feel the pain from the COVID-19 crisis. For many, the game made for the perfect escape. Depression, anxiety, and ...

It's Saturday. I'm here specifically to tell you this because, let's face it, it's starting to feel like every day is now just one long day. The lack of separation is real, and very odd. But needs must when times are tough, and I think we'r...

One year after hearing the story of an 87-year-old grandma's 3,580-hour save file for Animal Crossing: New Leaf, we've got a lovely update. Mayor Audie is still playing the 3DS game, but she has another obsession: Animal Crossing: New Horiz...

Nintendo is in a bug-fixing mood with Animal Crossing: New Horizons this week. After addressing several huge game-breaking glitches with version 1.1.2, 1.1.3 kind of came outta nowhere to immediately address something that had been dom...

Animal Crossing requires a lot of dedication to unlock its many mechanics: sometimes forcing players to wait multiple days before major features are available. But if you keep pushing (and use time travel) they will come, as Reddit use...

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been out for over a week now, and like most modern simulation games, it has a ton of bugs and a few exploits. Naturally Nintendo is inclined to squash out the latter first, but a new update just arrived in ...

Welp, the Animal Crossing custom design system is pretty limitless, but this probably isn't what Nintendo intended! As a reminder, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been out for a short while, which means thousands of fans have co...

"Oh well, I can try to catch the stringfish in Animal Crossing again tomorrow." For several days now, that's how I've reassured myself, but it's no longer true. Tonight's the night. If you're a Northern Hemisphere player in Animal Crossing:...

Although the U.K. is currently under soft lockdown legislation, this didn't stop physical game sales from spiking last week. Although, overall, sales were down last week, (due to the launch of Animal Crossing: New Horizons) sales were up ov...

It's been a little over a week since Animal Crossing: New Horizons released and already a good chunk of new island reps have a groove going with how their island is developing. I'd bet that a lot of people, at the very least, have the plots...

Nintendo has applied a new patch to Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The update, which is live in-game right now, appears to have only one function: the removal of the "item cloning" glitch that has been exploited by BAD villagers since launc...

We all knew the launch of Animal Crossing: New Horizons was going to be big. It's a popular franchise coming for the first time to the hottest system on the market. Add in everyone who knows better staying indoors to keep healthy,...

With coronavirus concerns mounting, some developers just aren't sure what's going to happen. While a lot of studios have shifted to remote work, some are more old school in their approach, and an outbreak in their building would put any wor...

I don't know about you, but my Twitter timeline basically consists of two topics right now: The global COVID-19 pandemic, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons videos. It sure makes for an undeniably ironic juxtaposition, given the happy, outdo...

We may not be able to skip the (initially cute) crafting animation in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but we can at least speed it up. Here's a time-saver: If you tap the A button, you'll craft faster than normal. It makes a difference! Espe...

I don't think anyone wasn't expecting Nintendo's colourful communal title Animal Crossing: New Horizons to be a success, but the reality is even more surprising, as the long-awaited Switch release is absolutely killing it in sales, debuting...

Animal Crossing is a series that has always been at odds with the type of gamer I am. I'm always looking for what's new, wanting to beat a game and move on to the next one. That type of personality does not lend itself well to the Anim...

It takes me ages to design a character in video games, but I enjoy the process, and I don't feel rushed. Naming a town in Animal Crossing, on the other hand, is an exercise in indecision. It's maddening. I've never been good at coming up ...

There are many reasons to speak with your neighbors every day in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. They can sometimes give you gifts, help you on your journey to make your island the most amazing place on the planet, or land you some Nook Mile...

Fruit has been a staple of the Animal Crossing franchise from the outset, but it really hasn't served much of a purpose. Sometimes villagers request it from you and you can always sell it at Nook's Cranny, but beyond that and the rotte...

One of the hallmarks of the Animal Crossing franchise has been letting your friends and family create their own save files, allowing you and up to three people the ability to share in the responsibilities of your town. Some games have ...

If there has been one objective that's been consistent throughout the Animal Crossing franchise, it's paying off your mortgage. It's the driving force behind a series without much drive, and for players who stick it out, they know payi...
