Critic Reviews for Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition

Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is perfectly fine. It makes things a bit prettier, has a few more options to take advantage of the console's new features, but all in all, it's not an especially exciting upgrade.If it were free, I don't think anyone could reasonably complain, but even at the relatively low price, it's only just scraping by to be worthwhile. It's far from an essential purchase, but if you've got credit on your account and you're a fan of the game, you could do worse.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is simply the game at its best. The 3.0 update added a surprising amount of new content and quality-of-life improvements that are truly game-changing. From streamlined crafting to improved controls and more, it would be difficult to return to the original version. While the Switch 2 upgrade itself doesn't offer much beyond 12-player multiplayer and visual boosts, it remains the definitive way to experience the game. Whether you are a returning fan or a new player, there has never been a better time to jump into the world of Animal Crossing.
