    New leaf was phenomenal already but this new update did much more and made the game have more and yet more relaxing to play through. Not the best of the animal crossing series but close.

    I'm personally a big fan of the animal crossing series and I love Animal Crossing New Leaf. I don't particularly like the new Amiibo update, though. The campground was a good idea and I think it was cool, but there were things that Nintendo could've done to make it better. They could've made it a public works project, to encourage you to work for it, and not just drop it in your lap. WhatI'm personally a big fan of the animal crossing series and I love Animal Crossing New Leaf. I don't particularly like the new Amiibo update, though. The campground was a good idea and I think it was cool, but there were things that Nintendo could've done to make it better. They could've made it a public works project, to encourage you to work for it, and not just drop it in your lap. What if you didn't want the campground at that time? I also think what they did with the RV's was really cool, only I don't like what they did with special characters. A new special character shouldn't be there EVERY day, it should be every once in a while. And the Villager RV's would've worked better if it acted like the Tent, where a villager comes by every now and then and you can talk to them, and you didn't have to use an Amiibo card or figurine, although you could if you wanted to. The campground is also extremely small, and if it were a public works project, there could have been an extra upgrade for it to be bigger and more interactive. The Meow Coupons were a good idea, and they gave you something to do when you didn't have anything to do. Now, when it comes to the new house decorating style, what I was expecting was for there to be the half spaces, which opens up a whole new way to decorate. I loved that in Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer. I didn't particularly care for how I decorated with the drag and drop mechanic, I was more excited for the half blocks, and I was upset to see that wasn't there. (Maybe it had something to do with Nintendo having to recreate the whole furnishing function for it to work, which is why it wasn't incorporated?) Overall, there was some good and bad with the new update and I think that Nintendo could have done something more to make the new experience more rewarding. Expand

    There's so much to see and do that you won't want to stop playing! [Issue #25 – January/February 2017, p.24]
