Animal Crossing and Nintendo:
The game which has always been popular and liked by the players is Animal Crossing. It is a social simulation video game series which was developed and published by Nintendo. The game is a result of the hard work of two super sharp minds Katsuya Eguchi and Hisashi Nogami.

The game has attracted a huge number of players since its launch in 2020. It is very popular in the United States and has become the most liked game among all those released in the past few years.
How to play New Horizons:
In this game, the players have to create their own character and then have to move to a far deserted island. After moving to the island the players have to build a new home for their living and a community from ground one. The players can also collect many resources from the island like furniture, tools and other such things. There is also an option of interacting with the wildlife and other players of the game.
Players are also free to visit each other’s land, barter things and play mini games together. This was the reason that when people were locked inside their houses during the COVID-19 pandemic, they spent a lot of time playing this game and it ultimately started ruling the hearts of a wide audience.

It is also suitable for people from all age groups.
