6 HRS AGO - And she's shared an unboxing video.One of the best things to come out of the Animal Crossing community over the past year or so is the story of Audrey (or Audie, as she's known in-game), the now 88-year-old grandma who first rose to fame for clocking in a whopping 3,500+ hour playtime on Animal Crossing: New Leaf.She's become something of an internet star thanks to her story going viral; Audrey soon delivered a new video to present a tour of her 3,500+ hour town, and it would appear that Nintendo itself has even paid tribute to her with a new character in New Horizons on Switch.

Here's a translation (thanks, EventHubs):Read the full article on nintendolife.com Collapse

14 HRS AGO - And patch the glitch while you're at it.Have you taken a look at the skies above your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons recently and noticed there are continual balloon fly-overs? Well, we all have. There appears to have been an increased rate of balloon spawns in the lead-up to Bunny Day and it's starting to drive some players absolutely bonkers.While we're definitely concerned about the progress-stopping glitch preventing balloons from appearing, we thought it would be interesting to take a look at the other side of the story and see how players are coping with the high volume of balloons now flying over the airspace of their island while they go about their day-to-day lives. Here are just some of the many reactions:Read the full article on nintendolife.com Collapse

20 HRS AGO - Solid suggestions or gilding the lily?It's safe to say that Animal Crossing: New Horizons has gone down rather well with fans of the series and new players alike. Social media has been absolutely swamped posts as people get busy on their deserted islands, filling their Critterpedias with bugs and fish, designing their own clothes, remodelling their islands and generally having a good old time. The game has crossed into the mainstream media in a way that few games do, with non-gamers taking notice and asking what all this joyous, colourful nonsense is all about.And with the way things are going for many people around the world at this difficult time, we can't think of a video game better suited to calming everyone down and reminding us that everything will be all right in the end. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is an absolutely outstanding video game.Read the full article on nintendolife.com Collapse
