This is one of my games that I'll defend to the death because it's a great game that gets a bad rap due to outside circumstances. When this released there was a ton of hype for a new Animal Crossing title and so people were really pissed that instead of working on that, Nintendo released a spin-off.

What I liked: This does exactly what it says on the tin. You decorate a house for each animal and you unlock new furniture as you progress. And that's pretty much it, and it does that beautifully. This is the perfect game to open up and play before bed, you decorate one house and then close your 3DS and drift off. Is it something to play for hours on end? No, but it's great for here and there gameplay, which is what the greater franchise is all about.

What I didn't like: There's not a ton of direction when you're decorating other than "use these 2 or 3 furniture pieces somewhere". This can be a good and a bad thing - you get to be creative with some of the prompts but it would also be nice to have a bit more of a challenge where you need to try to "get it right".

Guess what, I didn't really like this game that much, alright?

What I liked: Jump Up, Superstar is a genuine banger. The fan service was fun and this game obviously has that immaculate Nintendo polish. New Donk City was very cool. The hat gimmick was fun enough although I wouldn't miss it if we never saw it again.

What I didn't like: There are too many moons. Finding one isn't that exciting when it's literally your 700th moon and the last one you found was just like, in a random garbage can in an alley. Stars or their equivalents in previous games felt very rewarding to get and were a big deal. I also didn't really like a lot of the levels honestly. The dinosaur and food ones were especially stinkers. Idk, just not my vibe I guess.
