Animal Crossing has been on my mind lately thanks in part to an 87-year-old superfan whose charming story has warmed the internet's chilly heart. Earlier this month, game designer Paul Hubans shared a photo of his grandmother's Animal Cross...

If you could will one video game into existence right this minute, what would it be? My gut reaction is to say Death Stranding. I'm dying to know what the heck is going on, but then again... maybe I'm not? The bizarre trailers, the drip-fed...

Fans of Animal Crossing's adorable preppy dog Isabelle have reason to rejoice this month. Not only is she raring to make her debut in next month's highly-anticipated Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but toymakers Good Smile have conveniently ann...

Pokemon can crossover with anything. I mean think about it. If you need an edgy crossover, bam, Mewtwo can come in and shake 'em like a dog with his psychic mind powers. If you need cute: bam, Pokemon has you covered in multiple areas. And ...

After the reveal of Isabelle last week in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Nintendo took the predictable route and has released a new arrangement for Animal Crossing. The song in question is the title theme of Happy Home Designer, the spinoff ti...

A proper Animal Crossing on Wii U would, in all honesty, have been a waste of a game. The system constantly struggled in sales and the series has never exactly been a blockbuster when it's been tied to a stationary home console. I...

This week's Nintendo Direct was something of a whopper, opening with a bang in Luigi's Mansion 3 and ending the exact same way when it was revealed Animal Crossing is in development for Switch. I like Animal Crossing, I've purchas...

I should've learned my lesson after the King K. Rool fake-out for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but here I am typing swear words in Slack while being strung along by today's Nintendo Direct. Nintendo very clearly built up a new Animal Crossin...

Double Fine is always trying something new. The developer regularly invites employees to pitch their game ideas during its annual Amnesia Fortnight events, internal game jams where no idea is too bizarre. Several well-regarded games have re...

Animal Crossing's letter system can feel like something of an enigma at times. The animal townsfolk go so far as to suggest you use proper spelling and correct punctuation, but this doesn't always seem like the key to getting a good reply a...

[While Mother's Day has come and gone, it's never too late to recall childhood-defining moments regarding the person that so fitfully heaved us into this world. Our new friend Adzuken weaves a beautiful tapestry of how gaming with her mothe...

For kids growing up in the ‘90s, it was pretty rare that your parents would ever play video games. Sitcoms had jokes about, “The Nintendos” and media around the time demonized the medium, making it seem like a child’...

It's weird to watch the dichotomy between the DeNA mobile Nintendo realm and the traditional portable and console Nintendo universe we've known for decades play out before our eyes. Although the Big N has slid comfortably into the skin...

By now most of you have probably played or at the very least seen a bit of Nintendo's mobile venture for the Animal Crossing series, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. You might, however, be unaware that this project was almost a different game ...

One of my favorite things about the Animal Crossing series is how it handles the different seasons. I haven't seen real snow in years so it's always nice to have a game I can pop in during the winter if I ever want to build a snowman o...

I am fond of a video game mashup or two, so I was stoked when I heard 2 Mello (the composer for 2064: Read Only Memories) was releasing a Streets of Rage mashup album this week. When it came out on Tuesday, I downloaded it right away for li...

If you're still into My Nintendo, and have any semblance of hope that they'll add in good rewards or even Switch support eventually, you can link up Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp and have at it. Nintendo just updated the service to acco...

It’s been a long wait, but after teasing us for a year and a soft launch down under, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is finally available for players worldwide. I’ve been at it for a month now and I think it’s a darn good mob...

Booting up Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp for the 28th consecutive day, I find myself in rhythm with the beats of the game. I know when to log in, how long I’ll play in a given sitting, and I find myself maximizing what little time I ha...
