Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer Nintendo Nintendo 3DS 045496743284

The most frustrating thing I've seen in the Happy Home Designer reviews is people complaining that it's nothing like New Leaf. I feel these are people who must not have looked much into the game before it was released. It is not meant to be a normal Animal Crossing game, nor was it advertised that way. No, you do not earn bells, watch the seasons change, collect badges or form relationships with the villagers. You simply do exactly as the name implies and design houses. I'll admit that I was skeptical about how much enjoyment one could actually get from this game, but I have been pleasantly surprised. There are so many houses available for design and each villager has a fun, unique vision. Collecting the Amiibo cards adds to the fun by allowing you to choose exactly which animal you work with. When you're finished designing, you can upload your creation to the Happy Home Network, where you can view and rate the works of others as well as compete in design competitions. If you're looking to unleash your creativity in home and building design, you'll enjoy Happy Home Designer. If you have your heart set on fishing and bug catching, stick with New Leaf.
