After previously playing Wild World and Lets go to the City, I bought New Leaf this year and have grown obsessed! It's just such a cosy and relaxing game. Everything is happy and playing really cheers me up when feeling down. It's nice to just escape from real life for a while in my little Animal Crossing bubble.

There are so many things to go in this game and you could play for years and never run out of things to do or collect. You'll start off life as the mayor of your New Leaf village, with a few animal villagers which you will become friends with, chat to, carry out tasks for (if you wish). Over time, you will soon have up to 10 villagers move in. When you first start you will gather tools which will allow you to fish, catch bugs, hit rocks containing hidden gems, bugs or bells (the currency in AC). The more you buy from your shop, the bigger it will expand until you have a three-storey model, housing a designer boutique on the top floor. You can also purchase clothing, and even design your own. Talk to Sable (the hedgehog behind the sewing machine who always seems too busy to talk) for 10 days and you'll unlock a sewing machine which doubles as a QR machine, allowing you to download the many clothing patterns on the internet, or even design your own.

You will build on your town, planting trees and flowers and building Public Works Projects to make your town beautiful. For each day your town is perfect, you will receive a rare flower near your cliff edge.

The more you play, the more you'll unlock. Expand your catalogue and build a museum of fossils, bugs, fish and paintings that you'll collect over time. Not forgetting upgrading your home and designing it with the furniture you'll also buy and collect.

If that's not enough, there's also mini-games you can play within the game; find a Wii U and a DS in a fortune cookie in Nooks shop to play Desert Island Escape and Puzzle League. There's also an Island you can visit alone, or with friends and you can play mini-games there too.

There are over 80 special events that happen throughout the year too, such as the fishing tourney, Bug Off, Mother's Day, Autumn Moon, Halloween and Toy Day to name just a few. On these days you can collect special items which are not available the rest of the year.

If you're looking for a nice relaxing game, this is definitely the one for you. Ideal from any age. I play daily, aged 38, as does my 9 year old Daughter and 19 year old son!

This game was updated in recent years to include the welcome amiibo update. You will find a lamp with a little ghost inside. Scan in an amiibo character or card (great collectibles in addition to the game) and you can invite them to move in to your village, ask them for a unique item, or ask them to visit your campground in their RV and order their special furniture items. 3DS and 2DS XL consoles have a reader installed. You just swipe on the bottom screen. But older 2DS's, you will have to buy an NFC reader if you want to use this part of the game, but again, it's optional.

Ocarina Of Time 3D Best Thing Ever

Style Name: TLOZ: Ocarina of TimeVerified Purchase

I got a new 3DS XL and this game is just.. its amazing, and it is the most realistic game with time travel. Let me explain Your young the world is a happy colorful place and everythings just nice but there are dangers, when you do travel through time and become an adult, everything is poop, every one is depressed, dying, miserable, ruined, destroyed. Everything just sucks and everything is trouble.
But it is one of the best games of all time ported to the 3DS so you can play this portable on the move.. Buy it. The controls work nice with it, the 3D is pretty decent its like looking through a window rather than looking at a screen.
If you have played the N64 version one thing that will probably confuse you is the layout for the ocarina it is just so weird and seems/feels backwards or ODD when hitting the notes. Sarias song etc everything is a little confusing but fortunately the two screens work so well you can have the notes on the bottom page telling you which buttons to press while you play it on the top screen. Its fantastic the graphics are a nice improvement and yeah. Everything besides a little confusion is just that bit better or the same. Which is good. 5/5 MastaPiece Baby!!

The media could not be loaded.

This was bought for my sons 8th birthday.

Video was taken after about 3 minutes of play, he was not very good, but mainly only used to racing games. However after about an hour of play he found the controls very simple and definately got the hang of the game.

What a great game, he loves it, finds he wants to go back to it and play again, which some on his ds games have been sat in his drawer after 1 use, never being touched again.

I had a quick go, and took me back to my teens playing Donkey Kong on the N64.

A great game for all ages, a must for the collection.

Style Name: Kirby Triple DeluxeVerified Purchase

I bought this for my 7-year-old son. It is a truly awesome game, the variety of levels, the different types of play with different characters. There is something greatly satisfying about going Hypernova and inhaling a huge tree. This game will take a long time to get through because it is so vast as opposed to being very difficult. It still requires some thinking but not the kind of puzzles that stop you in your tracks.

I looked at a walkthrough on Youtube when we were stuck on something near the beginning and the walkthrough video was over 4 hours and that's if you know exactly what you are doing and just power through. I think we have more like 100 hours of playing ahead of us. Great
