  1. To me, this means that gamefreak is hurting themselves by making terrible games, yeah animal crossing is a big brand, but pokèmon is beyond massive, it’s kinda weird not seeing pokèmon at the top of everything, and it’s mainly because people know that the newer games lack quality, if game freak makes something truly special again, I promise you they would break this sale record again

    1. Except they never will. To think otherwise is to believe in clear delusions, falsities, fantasies. Come on now. Wake up ponies.

  2. I know I should be happy for Nintendo, but you know video games are dead when a game about nothing is the best-selling physical game ever.

    1. All it means is you know nothing about animal crossing or how deep and creative it is. It’s alot more about life than any game. It’s not a game about nothing…that said it would make sense, the greatest tv show of all time was about nothing.

    2. Honestly I’d rather play Animal Crossing than Dragon Age The Veilguard cuz if it’s horrendous writing and potato-looking characters, nevermind the agenda aspect it’s just that even that is poorly written.

  3. Animal Crossing series is by far the most boring and worst Nintendo games ever also very lazy design wise , this comes from me who worshipped everything Nintendo since the NES days and I even spent 10s of hours playing Animal Crossing city Folk and Animal Crossing gamecube.
