As someone who kinda dislikes the decorating aspect (I end up getting stressed out about it not being Perfect Enough), I ended up going back to New Leaf. I found that the gameplay of NL works better for me than NH. I prefer the slightly more restricted decorating options of NL. I’m currently working towards the museum renovation before I’ll eventually start trying to get The Roost. While NH is more open in terms of decoration, it feels very limited in everything else. I’m still kinda annoyed that the stores don’t upgrade when they did in NL. And I’m still somewhat bitter that they got rid of my boi, Dr Shrunk. He was one of my favourite characters in NL and I’m sad that he doesn’t exist at all in NH.

I’m with you. The 3DS eShop closure this past spring got me back to playing my 3DS again. When I fired up New Leaf, I realized how much more I love it than New Horizons. Ive been playing NL pretty much daily ever since, and haven’t touched New Horizons in months. Like Kora said, NH in itself is a good game that’s worth playing, but it leaves a lot to be desired for veteran players. I think it lacks a lot of the heart and soul that can be found in New Leaf and other previous instalments. From a creative freedom standpoint, NH is unmatched in the series. But beyond that, it’s surpassed in almost every other way by New Leaf imo, which is a game 7 years its senior. Your town in NL feels more like a living breathing community full of actual individuals, whereas your island in NH comparatively feels like a bit of an isolated, plastic personal sandbox full of action figures and standees for you to dictate as you please. Some players may prefer it that way, and as a creative person myself, I initially had a blast with it. But once I had all my dream villagers and the island exactly how I envisioned it, my interest started to wane when I realized just how much was missing. Trying to socialize with neighbours now yielded shallow, repetitive dialogue that made it obvious you were talking to NPCs as opposed to neighbours. A trip to the post office to see Pelly or Phyllis had been replaced by a post card stand. A visit to Harriette had been replaced by looking in a mirror … beloved characters who helped give the town life were nowhere to be found, like copper and booker, the resetti’s, and Pete the mailman. So much of the feeling of community and overall soul that defines animal crossing was no longer there, so going back to New Leaf was like going back home to all of it. I still look back fondly on my time in NH, but for the sake of future Animal Crossing games, I also sincerely hope that Nintendo doesn’t let its commercial success stop them from realizing the areas where they fell short this time around

At most I only play New Leaf once a week usually only once or twice a month but I still like it. I played New Leaf a lot from February 2, 2015 when I first started playing until 2018 so that's why I don't play New Leaf a lot now. I burned myself out but I still love the game.

My biggest worry with New Horizons is that Nintendo will see the huge sales numbers and take the series even further in this direction instead of pulling back towards making another that is closer to New Leaf.

New Horizon was (very unfortunately) my first Animal Crossing game, but have played Nintendo games over 3 decades. They will continue the trend of bastardization, ruining the IP's we love in the pursuit of a greater market share. I don't know if it hurts more that Zelda sucks now or that people think Tears of the Kingdom is a great game, but I can tell you we won't be back to New Leaf for another 10 or 15 years. It takes people time to realize the shiny new thing is not as rewarding as the old thing made with love.

My wife and I started playing on my son's island when he got the game at release. He stopped playing after the credits rolled at the first KK concert. My wife likes to fish now and then. I'm still there, same island, every day, 5,600 hours of play time, (which isn't entirely accurate, since I'm keeping up on a list of dailies for all three of us). Got the five-star island rating, all the golden tools, finished every nook miles card (Pen Pals was the hardest, since every letter had to mean something). I've collected every DIY, hit max bells thanks to selling on Nookazon a few times a week. I've taken to dumping a few hundred million bells in the trash every so often. (No, that wasn't a typo). It's not about the bells, it's about seeing all the folks out there who are still playing. Also, thanks to Nookazon trading, I haven't had to buy a NMT for over two years. My Nook Miles tally is over 3 million now. And we still have one of our starter villagers. Shout out to Fuchsia! It took me about a year and a half to get into HHP but I have been building feverishly now that I figured out a motivation. I'm building vacay homes for all the villagers who've left our island over the years when I see them waiting out front. It brings a smile to my face whenever I see one of the older villagers on the back beach or playing in the water. I guess I'm rambling. I don't miss any of the old game mechanics, because this was the first AC game I have ever played. Are there some things I would like to have? Sure. Batch crafting would be ever so lovely. Mini-games would be wonderful. Is it enough to make me stop playing? Nah. BTW, I'm 55, BeeKayCee911, so you're not alone as an oldster. ;-) Will I stop playing? Maybe. Someday. But not just yet.

It feels surreal that it's been that long since the game came out, but at the same time that it hasn't actually been long enough. This game feels like an old friend, like something we've always had around, and I think when it came out it saved a lot of people from losing their minds or deciding that life wasn't worth it. Your villagers needed you, your friends needed you, there was so much to do and it was one of the few ways to stay connected in a slice of life way.

Just came back to it after months of hiatus and immediately got hooked... Finishing parts of my island, renovating some parts that still uses pre 2.0 items, finishing HHP, renovating houses, applying all the additions to your islands, interacting with the community via trading... Like taking a break with this kind of game work wonders... 😊

I just bought my first switch two weeks ago because i missed the days playing wildworld as a kid. And i did not regret it. I am enjoying the heck out of New horizons maybe because i wasn’t used to play animal crossing with others.

This game is definitely one of my favorites of all time. And while it is missing some things from the previous series, I still enjoy playing after 3 years! There aren’t many single player games I could say that for.

I just got the game 4 days ago. I'm loving it! Just got a house today, and the museum opened up!

Well, ACNH is like a vacation island for me. When I was exhausted from the day and had a little time to kill, I would just walk around my island, doing random stuff while listening to a broadcast or sth. It's just a really good way to chill for me. Thx for making a video about this game!

I remember playing acnh in 2020 for entire days during the pandemic, I also enjoyed a lot of people that made youtube content on it. When I clicked on this video I just realized that acnh is turning 4 tomorrow (20/3) and this makes me even more nostalgic

I still love ACNH and have been playing it for approx. 1800 h without ever really "finishing" my island 😅 I kept making new plans for the design of my island but I was never fully satisfied with what I came up with. Then, my ADHD brain lost interest for a couple of months and I came back to make new goals, changed a few things, hunted a few different villagers, then the cycle repeated. I also rebuilt my island like 3 times. I guess it will forever be unfinished but yes - new dialogue would be SO good. I love talking to my villagers.

Your videos are a sweet and nostalgic reminder of the awesome experiences I had with ACNH. Played it for more than 2k hours, met some friends, had lots of fun with them, almost got a full catalog but I've gradually stopped playing after the release of the new Pokémon title. I think I will come back for the Halloween event which is my favourite.

New Horizons is my first AC game and I love it! I finally have all ten of my dreamie villagers, im in the process of fully decorating my island to match themes of some of them, and im trying to complete all of the nook quest even though i know it will def take me forever. And I havent even touched the dlc yet!

I still have my island from day 1 and am still playing to this day (after a burnout phase of course) with so many goals left to finish!

Hi! I haven’t touched this game in at least a year, but my kids just found it. I deleted my island and let them start from scratch. I was a bit sad about it at first, but we have been having a blast. I love being able to share this with them now!

The biggest thing i reallly missed in this game, was things to do after fully finishing to decorate my island. Like minigames to play together with my friends.

There's also official LEGO Animal Crossing now!

I got my friend animal crossing and a switch just recently and honestly it made me love the game again. Having a friend that plays with you makes you remember all the hours I painstakingly spent on the game ❤️🥺

Been watching your videos after returning to ACNH last week- my first title was Wild World and have played every title since, played New Leaf pretty much daily for a year then kept revisiting occasionally up to and after the Welcome Amiibo update, so I'm another one of those "veterans" who was disappointed with all the missing content, and that our first major update was also the last update. I played ACNH pretty much daily for about 3 months before doing the occasional drop in, but like I said.. I'm back 3 years later and have been sinking time into it again. I feel like just finding a way to play where I can enjoy it despite its shortcomings has worked well for me. Like you said in your video, I've been going back and finishing what I abandoned years ago due to disappointment. I had never been a time traveler personally, not in previous games or during my active period of ACNH, but found it was necessary for my current enjoyment. I'm currently on NMT island 342 on the hunt for my last few dreamies, been visiting "treasure islands" to catalogue furniture that stubbornly has not showed up in my store so I can finish off my themed houses, and just been enjoying myself again now that I can accept that although not what I wish the game was, it *is* "complete" and i can go about "finishing" my island now. It made me sad looking back at my abundance of letters from friends who used to actively play, and think about times my island was at full capacity so no more visitors could come and toot their ocarina, but there's a weird sense of peace. I love the snow and don't get it irl so I'm looking forward to playing in the snow on my silly little island. Thanks for your videos! They help pass the time while island hopping :)

I have been playing since March 2020. I have scaled back a bit, but my fixation has been set on collecting achievements and things while changing seasonal decorations. I’m close to getting models for all the bugs and fish and I’m still going for all of Gulliver’s swag. It’s still a nice leisurely paced game for me that is still therapeutic in hectic times.

The first year it was so fun playing with friends and seeing different islands. Well it slowly died down and there’s no one who wants to play it 😢 so it’s lonely 3 years later

It feels strange to see this video and seeing people in the comments filled with nostalgia. I picked up NH around day 1 like most, but I really only played it up until I got Isabelle, and I tried to replay it multiple times between bouts of restarting and juggling tons of busy work from going into college. Finally, now during the last semester of my college time, I'm doing a new play through with friends and I even have family playing on my island with me together this winter break. I feel so strange looking up a lot of your videos in the past few days on things like how to get more bells as a beginner or flower guide stuffs, and fast-forward two years on your YT and you along with a lot of other people here are viewing it with such nostalgia. While I do feel like I missed the gold rush of community content with things like the online thirdparty services and when it was all the hype of social media, I feel a strange sense of being like a lonely god, forging this island and relationships with the villagers into something beautiful yet also something that almost nobody will end up seeing. I'm not really sure where I can find an active AC community now, but I've seen so many of your videos lately and stuff from other animal crossing youtubers you collaborated with, and I really would like to find a community I can hang with and share my island and progress as I continue towards a satisfied sense of completion. Also big fan of your work, keep it up!

I really think it was the pandemic that made this game not last "as long" as New Leaf but I still enjoy it time to time

The dog interruption 😂❤

Imagine all of the lemon recipes we could have?! Nintendo, give us lemons

I'm playing more now than ever. My wife and I started a shared island together on the same switch. It's really fun because when I stop playing she often starts and continues our little projects. The only thing that drives me crazyyyy is that catalog items is per user and not shared between users even if we are on the same Nintendo :/ Sometimes she needs to start the game as me just to order an item or vise versa. But playing together like this has added a new level of fun because we each want to out due each others creations lmao.

Animal Crossing New Horizons never fails to bring warmth and peace to my life. Every time I hear the theme song play I immediately feel seen and loved. I close my eyes and embrace every calm moment ACNH gives me. It truly is one of the best games I’ve ever played. It doesn’t matter how long of a break I take from visiting my island, I always feel as strongly connected to it as ever. I remember that first year so vividly, because we were all inside playing together. The long waits between small updates spoke volumes to how unprecedented the user engagement was. It’s definitely not ACNH’s fault we all felt some type of burned out after a year or so. It was not perfect, but it eventually got there with the 2.0 update. I found myself coming back after the long break I had between my original playthrough and now! Thankfully I kept my OG island. The memories I have there are so sweet! I plan on taking care of this island as long as possible. One day in 20 years I’ll reopen it and reminisce in this special game. I am really excited for what could come with a “Switch 2.” I wonder if they’ll change the series to fit a more “rise n grind” play style since that’s where most of the complaints stem from?

I'm glad this was a positive video! For me I got acnh on my birthday on 2020 (September) so by that time all base features were added so I didn't have to worry about that. I do feel a bit sad I wasn't apart of all the community before I got the game though sometimes, but that's okay. Halloween was just around the corner then so it was a really good start for me to play. My big complaint is so much that was free in New leaf is now behind the switch online paywall...can't even get every fruit to complete more recipes without it... but new horizons is definitely a great game it's just different and was affected by the state of the world when it came out

These new goals along with growing every flower hybrid and completing all nook mile achievements have brought back a new zest for the game - super fun again!🤗 I caught a barrel eye fish earlier and I felt special lol plus I’ve joined a couple of fb acnh groups All good fun!💃🏽😄

i'm thinking about restarting my island today because it was boring but seeing this is making me want to go through wuth it

i played this day 1 lockdown and stopped after 3months. it was really fun. now i just got back from my first time in Japn and visited nintendo stores, it made me created a new island and start over.

I got a second burst of enjoyment out of the game cuz my parents got Switches and Animal crossing. It was fun watching them be ruthlessly efficient at getting KK songs, filling out their museums and criterpedia's and comparing turnip prices.

I love this game, it’s so fun and such an easy relaxing thing to do. It makes me feel productive in some way when I hop on and get a new section of island finished. But I would love to see better villager dialogue since I love my villagers (especially prince) so I’ve taken to coming up with my own stories with them haha

They could’ve Minecraft’d ACNH by just constantly giving it new updates, keeping the animal crossing community always fed and happy. maybe they could get a little extra money from a second DLC? You know people would’ve payed for it…

My classmate recently had a stop by the game after leaving it behind long ago right after gaining terraforming. Isabel's announcement went on and on due to how much has been added to the game, and we both bursted into laughter when a villager said he hadn't seen him in 3 years and 4 months.

I played ACNH like months continously, then burnt out, came back for months then burnt out again. And now I came back again just last week to finally "finish" 3 stars, that when I started watching more of educational videos about ACNH and several of them mentions Nookazon and it did look like I was late for the party :(

I love it I don’t mind how many times do we start because it’s just so much fun when I get to start all over again and feel the love again

I reset my island all the time, for my self i've never regreade it for my self. And thats why I keep playing the Game.

I still love ACNH! Three years playing and counting. 😊❤

I just want to go back to where the Animal Crossing are a story/vibe/journey game first and creativity second. The old ACs introduced so many characters, they had so much to tell, and every week something new happened like a shop upgrade or new things to buy in the city

i got this game when it first came out and now i’m addicted to playing it again

Ive had new leaf for 10 years now and when new horizons came out I got it the day of release 2 months went by and I was burnt out but with new leaf I’m 10 years in and still enjoy it

Just restarted my island after a year of not playing. I’m really enjoying it and plan to create my full dream island.

I'm kinda getting back into it after playing it a lot in early 2022, which is nice. You just can't play the game fully for hours every day or you'll get burnt out, I've learned. Also playing new leaf, and maybe wild world too!

ALL I WANT IS THE ONLINE ISLAND FROM NEW LEAF UGH

Havent't touched Animal Crossing: New Horizons since last year. Haven't experienced the newer updates the game has to offer. This video has definitely inspired me to saddle back up on that horse. From the perspective of someone who's played all the main line AC games, I was hoping for more content in NH then we inevitably got. Here's hoping that changes with the series new installment. Whenever and if-ever that occurs.

I'm not usually someone who sticks with one game for more than a few months. However, I played ACNH for over 2 years basically every single day! When the final update came out, I really felt like they were cutting it off too early. I think it had at least 1 more year in it before people WANTED to move on. I was able to accomplish most of the goals I had set for myself and it was hard to stay excited about New Horizons without anything new... on the horizon... I hope the next AC game is made with a more long term plan in mind, but also dread it becoming a micro-transaction mess...

Weird coming back to my island and all my villagers are just like "whoa, where'd you go, you have anything cool, show us pictures!", more surprised than anything, I must just have really really chill villagers, or they think I'm some kind of rich jet-setter or something because I actually leave them like that a lot, like A LOT a lot.

Restarted last month, After a half year break. In love again with the game 😍🏝️😍

I just started to properly get into it last week so I'm loving life rn ! 😊

This game was so amazing to play when it first came out. Good memories

I just randomly got back into the game again. Restarted, and I went in with a new mindset which has been going well. 1. Not caring about being the richest islander around. I burned myself out on this game because I only cared about making the most profit. 2. Not caring about who my villagers are. Tier lists ruined me. I used to think I’d only be cool if I had the most popular villagers, like Raymond. 3. And finally, no time travel. I’m going to experience this game at a slower pace, and not rush to get everything right away. Hopefully I stay with it long enough to last at least a year.

I never played any previous animal crossing games but during the COVID lock down i bought the game and the first i didn't really like the game but i slowly started to love it. During lock down i found out me and my wife we're going to have a baby so I will always associate the birth of my baby with lockdown and animal crossing lol. Once my daughter was born i stopped playing 100 % but i put over 1000 hours into my island and am very proud of it. I put my daughter's into game and my wife even though they don't even play it in my rationale was that one day I was going to give him a Nintendo switch to my daughter with my island. 😊 But for me my animal crossing Island is like a portrait of my life in 2020 and basic timeline. It's crazy because i want to start playing again and I know exactly the last project I started right before the pregnancy and it was like a garden. For someone who's all about horror games fighting games and FPS shooters animal crossing was like a very different type of game that I'm usually playing I think it kind of like calmed me and help me and help me and get into a much better headspace that wasn't all like amped up all the time I was much more relaxed I was smiling when I was playing video games not yelling at my TV 😅.

Still a hollow empty lifeless husk that I have long since stopped playing 2 full years now. Hell, I flinch even just seeing its icon on my Switch home page these days!

Me when a sponsors on ……. RUN TO THE KITCHEN AND GET A SNACK

The lack of dialogue options for the villagers absolutely killed the game for me.

I went from City Folk on the Wii to this game so it was quite a jump! Even though I don’t play it everyday I still get on occasionally to work on my pumpkin pie farm to sell them on Nookazon. 😅

I'd love to have people to play with and exchange stuff with...

i played acnh for 2 years quit for one year and im playing now again

My wife used to vibe playing Animal Crossing on our Switch 2 or 3 yrs ago i didn't even know the old & retro games e.g New Leaf would end online.

I haven't played this game since I started playing Disney Dreamlight Valley in February 😅 This is my sign to start playing again 😊

I was a resident on my sister’s island until this year when she got me my own game copy. I was able to move to my own island and keep everything in my storage, my house, my phone, and my bells :)

_New Horizons_ was my first ever _Animal Crossing_ game, as I didn't have a Gamecube growing up, didn't get around to _Wild World_ or _City Folk_ (and don't really remember seeing them in the store either, as they would've been right up my alley) and _New Leaf_ was always sold out when my friend was playing it and I wanted to get in on the action. Really, my main experience with the _Animal Crossing_ world was the _Sweet Day_ mini-game in _Nintendo Land,_ which admittedly I _did_ love and played all the time with my friends. ACNH couldn't have come out at a better time though, for not only was it the pandemic, but I'd recently lost my brother as well. I sunk _sooo_ much time into it! I'd play every single day, I'd play out in the sun, I'd play inside watching telly, I'd spend _days_ just designing my real life bed linen, my clothing - chiefly my -pumpkin- yellow camo anorak and grey Wu-Tang cap - and I enjoyed it so much! Taking the best photos I could, meticulously recreating every detail as best I could… I did play it so much that I ended up getting a bit burned out on it, but I did get really into it again after 2.0's announcement. I don't think I've played much since Halloween of 2021, I didn't play much games in general for a lot of 2022, but the game will always hold a special place in my heart. Crazy to think it's been three years since I stepped onto that island… I still haven't paid off my loans to Tom Nook, and I never played the DLC, so there's still stuff waiting for me, waiting for the day I get the urge once more. It is not this day, nor is it the next, but I will always cherish the game and I will feel it calling my name once more, some sunny day… I'm a hobby-writer, and the game inadvertently gave me the name of an island kingdom in one of my stories, as I ended up giving it my in-game island's name, so it really will stick with me forever.

I still play most days, the completionist in me wants me to keep going. Makes me kinda sad when people drop a game but it is what it is.

"I like the taste of lemons, gimme." 😂❤

Hello! I'm quite new to ACNH,I started on my birthday this year,when my mom bought me the game by request. (16th of August.) And my first AC is City Folk. :D I really like the game,and the fact that there's Jazz!

I wish Nintendo just gave us new leaf, but with new horizon graphics

Personally I'm still trying to get that cool upgrade for the Fish area of the museum. I still haven't gotten it! The one where you get a cooler background.

Its funny because i just got back into this game about a month after abandoning it for a year and a half...its fun to come back and play too

Genuinely really don’t like how Nintendo handles the update model. It already has a ton of issues but due to how long they took to implement pre existing stuff to a game that doesn’t have a lot to do in comparison to even the first game, most of the players stopped playing before they got the good stuff. Not to mention how they said that there’d be at least 2-3 years worth of updates and outside of 2.0 there was nothing of substance added. I feel bad for the dev team since there was a lot of effort out in but higher ups seemed to want to continue their already controversial business model at the cost of a game people wanted to play for years to come.

I first played in April 2020 but didn't really get into the game. October 2023 I started a brand new island and I'm having lots of fun with it. I do wish I had more people to play it with though.

The only thing the next Animal Crossing needs is to bring back the ball. For anyone unaware, the Animal Crossing game on gamecube had a ball that would spawn somewhere in the town and you could kick it around. That's all it does, but I think it would be neat if it came back.

im about to restart on my island because i didnt play for like 5 months lol.. theres still a lot more stuff i could do but i think i just want a fresh start

Awww seeing Nookazon so quiet makes me so sad! Even turnip exchange i used to que up for so long on there so many people waiting 😂

I still love this game

Is it just me or do the villagers get new dialogue? I saw new dialogue from the villagers I haven’t seen since it launched

The 3DS eShop closure this past spring got me back to playing my 3DS again. When I fired up New Leaf, I realized how much more I love it than New Horizons. Ive been playing NL pretty much daily ever since, and haven’t touched New Horizons in months. Like Kora said, NH in itself is a good game that’s worth playing, but it leaves a lot to be desired for veteran players. I think it lacks a lot of the heart and soul that can be found in New Leaf and other previous instalments. From a creative freedom standpoint, NH is unmatched in the series. But beyond that, it’s surpassed in almost every other way by New Leaf imo, which is a game 7 years its senior. Your town in NL feels more like a living breathing community full of actual individuals, whereas your island in NH comparatively feels like a bit of an isolated, plastic personal sandbox full of action figures and standees for you to dictate as you please. Some players may prefer it that way, and as a creative person myself, I initially had a blast with it. But once I had all my dream villagers and the island exactly how I envisioned it, my interest started to wane when I realized just how much was missing. Trying to socialize with neighbours now yielded shallow, repetitive dialogue that made it obvious you were talking to NPCs as opposed to neighbours. A trip to the post office to see Pelly or Phyllis had been replaced by a post card stand. A visit to Harriette had been replaced by looking in a mirror … beloved characters who helped give the town life were nowhere to be found, like copper and booker, the resetti’s, and Pete the mailman. So much of the feeling of community and overall soul that defines animal crossing was no longer there, so going back to New Leaf was like going back home to all of it. I still look back fondly on my time in NH, but for the sake of future Animal Crossing games, I also sincerely hope that Nintendo doesn’t let its commercial success stop them from realizing the areas where they fell short this time around

I agree with Kora,we NEED more fruit

I have been playing this game since the Game Cube and still loving it. I have recently bought the actual Animal Crossing Switch and have started another town. Since growing as things came on the New Horizons things are coming at me differently. It’s so weird. The first one that just happened was getting the honor of reconstructing the land. On my new one you have to buy each thing or pattern on the kiosk, now I don’t recall having to do that last time. Am I correct on that or is my memory deceiving me!! lol Just thought I would check on this.

Great video, i especially agree with the point of asking villagers if they have a job for you. I would love that !

The one major thing that I think makes people not want to come back, is the tedious nature of redesigning your island. Like you have to do one square at a freaking time....

This video makes me want to reset my island and experience it all over again. Maybe I'll do it one day.

ACNH is just barely part of my top 10 favorite games. I enjoy it.

I played it and found it relaxing for the first few moments I've played it... I started to play it lest and less in the next couple of months then stopped playing it entirely because it went from relaxing to boring... I don't know if I could pick the game up again... Especially since I found fun in other games that I've gotten for the switch, including Stardew Valley...

Playing this game was so fun 😢😢 Me and my dad quit because we 100 percented the game (in our books) and no updates We will play again if they add a gyroid museum.

Theres still time to give us bulk crafting Nintendo 😂 my current goal is to finish my museum, im working on fish i think. Been on a long break though because work

i’ve simply just been playing new leaf and loving it

As someone that’s played it since August of 2020 and played it every day since and wish it had more DLC like the sims

I just purchased the game a month ago. 4 stars bb. So much time travel
