After previously playing Wild World and Lets go to the City, I bought New Leaf this year and have grown obsessed! It's just such a cosy and relaxing game. Everything is happy and playing really cheers me up when feeling down. It's nice to just escape from real life for a while in my little Animal Crossing bubble.There are so many things to go in this game and you could play for years and never run out of things to do or collect. You'll start off life as the mayor of your New Leaf village, with a few animal villagers which you will become friends with, chat to, carry out tasks for (if you wish). Over time, you will soon have up to 10 villagers move in. When you first start you will gather tools which will allow you to fish,catch bugs, hit rocks containing hidden gems, bugs or bells (the currency in AC). The more you buy from your shop, the bigger it will expand until you have a three-storey model, housing a designer boutique on the top floor. You can also purchase clothing, and even design your own. Talk to Sable (the hedgehog behind the sewing machine who always seems too busy to talk) for 10 days and you'll unlock a sewing machine which doubles as a QR machine, allowing you to download the many clothing patterns on the internet, or even design your own.You will build on your town, planting trees and flowers and building Public Works Projects to make your town beautiful. For each day your town is perfect, you will receive a rare flower near your cliff edge.The more you play, the more you'll unlock. Expand your catalogue and build a museum of fossils, bugs, fish and paintings that you'll collect over time. Not forgetting upgrading your home and designing it with the furniture you'll also buy and collect.If that's not enough, there's also mini-games you can play within the game; find a Wii U and a DS in a fortune cookie in Nooks shop to play Desert Island Escape and Puzzle League. There's also an Island you can visit alone, or with friends and you can play mini-games there too.There are over 80 special events that happen throughout the year too, such as the fishing tourney, Bug Off, Mother's Day, Autumn Moon, Halloween and Toy Day to name just a few. On these days you can collect special items which are not available the rest of the year.If you're looking for a nice relaxing game, this is definitely the one for you. Ideal from any age. I play daily, aged 38, as does my 9 year old Daughter and 19 year old son!This game was updated in recent years to include the welcome amiibo update. You will find a lamp with a little ghost inside. Scan in an amiibo character or card (great collectibles in addition to the game) and you can invite them to move in to your village, ask them for a unique item, or ask them to visit your campground in their RV and order their special furniture items. 3DS and 2DS XL consoles have a reader installed. You just swipe on the bottom screen. But older 2DS's, you will have to buy an NFC reader if you want to use this part of the game, but again, it's optional.

Starting this game up, I was mildly cautious. Personally, I feel some Mario spin offs can fall victim to the hype of their flagship counterparts (being the 'main' Mario games). The list of Mario games and associated heroes/villains is extensive to say the least and surprisingly diverse. Platforming, racing, board games, golf, tennis, ghost hunting....the list goes on. Setting a stellar, multi generational benchmark for innovative gaming and thoughtful dedication to it's fan base are concepts that Nintendo don't shy away from. Their dedication shows with each and every title which is no easy feat. Considering some franchises tank after 2 or 3 games.Mario and Luigi Dream team was a mystery to me.I had no idea what to expect. It is a fairly new concept and after a lot of research, I couldn't shake the feeling that this was an unnecessary Paper Mario clone. However, I was wrong. This is truly a fantastic game and I would recommend to any 3DS owner as a staple in their library. There is a reason this was added to the 'Selects' list. In all honesty, the game could be heavily compared to the Paper Mario series. It plays as an RPG. Lots of turn based (ish) combat, hilarious dialogue, and levelling your characters. This is the bread and butter of the game, and if this sounds like something you'd enjoy, I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.Story wise, there is nothing new here. Rescue Princess Peach – the end. We do not play these games for plot twists and character development. However, there is a story there and it is engaging from the get go and I genuinely found myself feeling engrossed and constantly wanting to see what was next.Graphically the game is fine. It has the classic Mario flair that has charmed us for decades and it doesn’t stray too far from that. Visually, this is the Mario we know and love. It will not be winning awards for its graphical prowess but I never found myself cringing at the screen or yearning for more complexity. The 3D is used effectively to add depth and highlight key objects.In my opinion, this game is a must. It may not be the next landmark Mario title, but it stands its own perfectly and stands head and shoulders above a lot of games from the Mario universe. Do not expect 3D platforming, this is very much an adventure, RPG game at heart. But it’s great fun and you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t give it a go!Hope this helps :)

I ADORE this game! I had Wild World on the DS/DSI and was really upset when my DSI began to play up. I got a 2DS XL as soon as I possibly could after the DSI stopped workly successfully and this was the first 3DS game I knew I wanted and that I bought. I have had the game for about a year now and play it every day. I adore the ability to change your hair style and colour that I couldn't get in Wild World, the ability to customize the fashion further with tights, socks and shoes, the beautiful graphics, awesome weather phenomenons such as meotor showers, wishing stars and fireworks that you can design the shape of! You are mayor and the way in which you become mayor is constantly hilarious to me.I love how you can choose your town layout in the very beginning, customize your town (being mayor) and that the animals come to you more now, being their mayor. You can get coffee at The Roost and get takeaway coffee, which I think is adorable. What I think is my favourite thing about the game that makes it different from Wild World are the little challenges. Working for Jack for halloween, working for the reindeer for Christmas, the secrets, collecting the prizes from the fortune cookies, learning the orders of everyone in the town at The Roost and working there with the knowledge you gain, visiting the island and playing the mini-games, exploring the many different dreams avaliable in the Dream suite and collecting all the expressions from Dr. Shrink in Club LOL. Couldn't recommend this game enough. So pure and makes me so happy. Right combination of cute, light and weird. Anti-depressant game right here! 100% an Animal Crossing nerd

I’m very new to the animal crossing games and I really thought it wasn’t for me I thought it would be slow and boring so I put it off many times but I kept hearing its popularity growing and people talking about animal crossing so much I thought I’ve got to see what all the fuss is about for my self and I’m so glad I do I really really enjoy the game it’s different to other games and its very relaxing to play without all this heavy action keeping pumped it normal gaming you can just pick it up and relax your way through a little town that you help create with you home and activities to do its really good it runs of the time zone that you living in I.E country (Uk USA)etc so it feels very real its not really a massive night time game though as I do a lot of my gaming at every in the game light shops etc are closed other characters are sleeping and you can’t change this as it runs off the time zone your in but that said its a really fun easy going relaxing game which can became very addictive and I really love the whole way this game works its different from my usual games and I’m very impressed I highly recommend this game for kids or adults and its a bargain game at £16.99 for the 3ds its hours and hours worth of fun which I suppose will never really end because its got no missions or chapters of the game so it not like you can complete it and then its done so the replay value is amazing too

I got a new 3DS XL and this game is just.. its amazing, and it is the most realistic game with time travel. Let me explain Your young the world is a happy colorful place and everythings just nice but there are dangers, when you do travel through time and become an adult, everything is poop, every one is depressed, dying, miserable, ruined, destroyed. Everything just sucks and everything is trouble.But it is one of the best games of all time ported to the 3DS so you can play this portable on the move.. Buy it. The controls work nice with it, the 3D is pretty decent its like looking through a window rather than looking at a screen.If you have played the N64 version one thing that will probablyconfuse you is the layout for the ocarina it is just so weird and seems/feels backwards or ODD when hitting the notes. Sarias song etc everything is a little confusing but fortunately the two screens work so well you can have the notes on the bottom page telling you which buttons to press while you play it on the top screen. Its fantastic the graphics are a nice improvement and yeah. Everything besides a little confusion is just that bit better or the same. Which is good. 5/5 MastaPiece Baby!!

On the evidence of this I prefer this type of game to platform or sports one.it seems to be a game format that Nintendo do well and which plays well on my son's 2DS.There's humour in the game and nice touches as you puzzle out the ways to get around the various rooms and mansions.Battling the ghosts can be at times, exhilarating, stressful or a bit irritating (when struggling to defeat them).It is really clever and the atmospheric music adds greatly to the game.I am not too enamoured of the dialogue with the professor which drags and which we rush through or skip at times.I have now played about 8 games on the 2DS and this far this is mine and my son's overall favourite.It can be frustratingwhen you are stuck on a level and the ability to save at any stage would be better.I also have to admit that at the start we had to look at an online cheat page to get going.To excuse us somewhat though my son hadn't played video games much before and I hadn't for years so we needed a little hand up.Overall, a really good, enjoyable game that should keep players amused and enthralled for along time.

My all-time favourite villager Roscoe is still there, and that's all that matters!Just kidding! There's more!I played Wild World for the longest time, got the complete mansion, fully decorated the inside, perfect town, all the flowers in every colour, all the fruits and fossils. I always struggled with bugs and fish though. I grew up playing Animal Crossing and to have a modern version now is the most wonderful thing!I can't recommend this game highly enough. Expanded character customization, home exterior options, more furniture, wacky new characters and personalities, a tropical island escape AND Mr Resetti is now TOTALLY OPTIONAL!! Best believe I will never in a million years get the Reset Center.Wonderful soundtrack,familiar cutesy graphics, Roscoe, permit to decorate the town itself however you please, Roscoe, various fascinating visitors to the campground, a lovely secretary who rings little bells wherever she goes, Roscoe, custom clothes, Roscoe... what's not to love!

My first Zelda was "A link to the past" and it will always hold a special place in my heart. So seeing how this takes place in the same world with its soundtrack and items based off that is wonderful.It is also great to see the world in modern graphics with 3S to boot. The wall merging adds a serious extra element to puzzle solving but not so much as to be too difficult.The new system of renting or buying items is very interesting and I do like it as if you have trouble with a certain dungeon or boss you can just go do some others to get your hearts up ect.The characters are funny and the game still has the charm of the original. Plus having a wallet that can hold 9999 rupees in from the start is great.Also quick equip is very handy too.All in all I wish I had gotten this sooner as I've been glued to it since it arrived lol

The point of the game is for Luigi to solve the mystery of the suddenly aggressive ghosts all over the area. Along the way, you have tasks to complete often involving hoovering up ghosts to put into a container at the lab so when the mystery is solved, they can go back to being big floaty goofballs.At first, I wasn't a fan as it seemed super easy and repetitive. Well it is but it became quite enjoyable and the storyline moves along and gets harder as you go. There were some super challenging points that made me think and did struggle on some levels. Perfect to 'waste time/have fun' (as an adult) or for younger children to have fun playing a friendly mystery game.The last levels were definitely a bit of a battle!Health warning: the last levels can potentially lightly strain the hands... *ehem*..

I bought this for my nephew but ive played the N64, GC and this version to completion various times through the years.You can't go wrong with this game.My nostalgia goggles makes me prefer the older models of link but thats no big deal.I also prefer the harder version of the water temple(they only changed it slightly so its more obvious what floor youre on and what water level it changes to), but the 3DS version offers Master Quest once youve completed it. So atleast theres that.The main criticism of the 3DS version is something alot of people will like. You get an extra button to use, but touch screen use is necessary for it. Im just not into that.I know its nit pickyThis game is a masterpiece thats why the complaints I have are dumb.

Review from my seven year old son:He rates this game 5/5 stars, even after I reminded him that this means the best ever.The game is about people being turned into paintings. You walk around trying to get through temples and then have to destroy some guy called Yuga (I can't vouch for the spelling on this). He says the view is different from some other Zelda's as you are looking down from a bird's-eye view.He really likes the game and it is one of his favourites.That's as much information as I could squeeze out of him, and believe me when I say that wasn't easy.***I try to be as candid as possible in my reviews, which I'm sure you will gather. If you think my humble opinion is helpful,please click yes ***

I bought this for my 7-year-old son. It is a truly awesome game, the variety of levels, the different types of play with different characters. There is something greatly satisfying about going Hypernova and inhaling a huge tree. This game will take a long time to get through because it is so vast as opposed to being very difficult. It still requires some thinking but not the kind of puzzles that stop you in your tracks.I looked at a walkthrough on Youtube when we were stuck on something near the beginning and the walkthrough video was over 4 hours and that's if you know exactly what you are doing and just power through. I think we have more like 100 hours of playing ahead of us. Great

These games are marketed as 'selects' for a good reason - they're very good games.I wont bore you with a description of the game, other than to say its another in Nintendo's 'Party' series of multiplayer boardgame/minigame combos they do so well. Some people will say one Party series game is better or worse than another, and everyone will have their favorites, in my opinion they're all much the same and this is a good one.As usual the cartridge version of the game is lower price than the download version - so you'd need a good reason to pay premium for a download that you can't give away, sell or partex when the kids get bored of it.

This game is beautifully rendered and plays well. I love the idea of merging with the wall as a painting to solve movement puzzles, and getting around places you wouldn't be able to get to as 3D Link. The first boss, so far, was very reminiscent of the old school boss you used to get in previous games, where you attack the tail and avoid the head.So far into the journey, it is well told, like most Zelda games. Children and adults alike can play this and be thoroughly entertained.In terms I packing, the game arrived sealed and undamaged inside of the standard, thin cardboard Amazon packaging the next day through Prime.
