Simply pick up a copy of <em>Animal Crossing New Horizons<\/em>. On TV, the game looks great and is even more immersive. Kicking back on the couch and escaping to your island is like a vacation after a hard day.<\/p>    <p><em>New Horizons<\/em> offers loads of features and the most customization options in any <em>Animal Crossing<\/em> game yet. With tons to keep you busy and a bustling player community, you&#8217;ll easily sink hundreds of hours into this one from the comfort of your own home.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-best-way-to-play-animal-crossing-on-a-handheld\">The best way to play <em>Animal Crossing<\/em> on a handheld<\/h2>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/newleaf-header-northamerica.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/newleaf-header-northamerica.jpg?w=1024&#038;resize=1200%2C675\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1023069\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo via Nintendo<\/figcaption><\/figure>    <p>If you&#8217;ve still got a 3DS, I think <em>Animal Crossing New Leaf<\/em> is still worth tracking down. The vibe in <em>New Leaf<\/em> is just so much more relaxed, yet the game is still full of all the delightful activities and quirky characters that make <em>Animal Crossing<\/em> a beloved franchise.<\/p>    <p>Keep in mind, the online services<em> just<\/em> closed for this game. However, there&#8217;s still tons of content for solo players. If you had your heart set on playing with friends or if your 3DS is long gone, I do think that <em>New Horizons<\/em> is a wonderful handheld option too. <\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-animal-crossing-spin-off\">Best <em>Animal Crossing<\/em> spin-off<\/h2>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/si-3ds-animalcrossinghappyhomedesigner-image1600w.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/si-3ds-animalcrossinghappyhomedesigner-image1600w.jpg?w=1024&#038;resize=1200%2C675\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1023070\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo via Nintendo<\/figcaption><\/figure>    <p>When you&#8217;re ready to try something new in the <em>Animal Crossing<\/em> world, check out <em>Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer<\/em>. It&#8217;s a spin-off title built around creating dream homes for your favorite animal villagers. With its focus on creativity and decorating prowess, <em>Happy Home Designer<\/em> might just be highlighting the very thing you play <em>Animal Crossing<\/em> for anyway. <\/p>    <p>If you&#8217;re the type to spend hours getting your rooms looking perfect you have to try this game out. You might also like the DLC to <em>New Horizons<\/em> which sort of acts as an almost sequel to this game. <\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-retro-animal-crossing\">Best retro <em>Animal Crossing<\/em><\/h2>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/si-gcn-animalcrossing-image1600w.jpg?resize=1200%2C675\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/si-gcn-animalcrossing-image1600w.jpg?resize=1200%2C675\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1023068\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo via Nintendo<\/figcaption><\/figure>    <p>For those yearning for a more nostalgic experience, I must tip my cap to the classic GameCube version of <em>Animal Crossing<\/em>. With its quaint charm and the unmistakable retro vibes the atmosphere is just so serene. <em>Animal Crossing<\/em> on GameCube remains a beloved favorite among longtime fans too. Heck, it even still has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedrun.com\/ac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">speedrunning community<\/a>. <\/p>    <p>You&#8217;ll have to drop a little coin in your search for a copy. While a lot of other Gamecube games have a far worse aftermarket price, <em>Animal Crossing<\/em> isn&#8217;t dirt cheap either. Keep in mind that this <em>Animal Crossing<\/em> also needed a dedicated memory card, so factor that into your budget. You&#8217;ll also need the Gamecube to play the game if you don&#8217;t have one. Alternatively, remember that the Wii played Gamecube games. <\/p>    <p>Whether you&#8217;re crafting your dream island getaway on console, tending to your village on the go, there&#8217;s really no wrong way to play. If you&#8217;re looking for the very unique experience <em>Animal Crossing<\/em> offers, you&#8217;re going to find it in just about any title you pick up. So grab your fishing rod, and don&#8217;t forget to water your flowers. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are the best Animal Crossing games worth checking out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1061,"featured_media":875399,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"[]","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[3778,8,13585],"tags":[279,16563,27,16599,186316,25,16,26],"internal-label":[187475,187478,187039],"invoiceable_action":[187111],"article_type":[187076],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v22.2) -
