What is Animal Crossing New Leaf?
Animal Crossing New Leaf is Nintendo's cozy life-simulation game for the Nintendo 3DS. You step off the train expecting a quiet vacation and are immediately mistaken for the new mayor, inheriting a house loan, a desk at Town Hall, and a neighborhood of animal villagers who remember everything you do.
From there the town grows at your own pace: fish and catch bugs, donate finds to Blathers at the museum, decorate your home, plant orchards, design paths and clothing, and unlock shops along Main Street. The Welcome amiibo update later added amiibo card support, the campground, and crossover campers, so a single save file can keep expanding for years.
