Video Description

Animal Crossing has become a top tier franchise for Nintendo since the release of New Horizons in 2020, and that means a lot of fans eagerly waiting for the next game to launch on the Switch 2 might be getting restless and want to look backwards at some of the earlier games in the series. Today I wanted to walk through each game, why I'd recommend checking them out, and where I'd recommend playing them. I think it goes without saying that playing on original hardware is usually best, but in some cases fan mods and community efforts have made once-forgotten games significantly more playable.
