Nintendo Life: Having ruled as mayor of my aptly named town of Trash for about two weeks now, I hoped to have achieved more. I’ve been unable to erect a statue of myself (yet), haven’t quite raked in the millions (yet), nor really made life for my animal citizens all that miserable (yet). Animal Crossing: New Leaf doesn’t allow me to abuse my power, reigning in my malevolent tendencies to mostly harmless shenanigans.
The Animal Crossing games hold a special place in our hearts. They're not free from our judgment, however. Let's rank them all!
BLG writes: "While it didn’t sell as well as the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS was nonetheless a wonderful system. And, while this may be a hot take, it’s easily my favorite handheld. Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."
KeenGamer: "The Nintendo 3DS is officially ten years old, so we thought it would be a great time to highlight the best games on the console. The last dedicated handheld by Nintendo was a unique device that provided many incredible and unquestionably great experiences."
Swap OoT for Majoras Mask and Pokemon for Xenoblade Chronicles and you might be on to something with this list.
