Animal Crossing Games
The Animal Crossing franchise started back in 2001, first appearing on the N64 in Japan. The game received a port on GameCube one year later, and that version released in North America. Since then, the series has been a staple of Nintendo platforms, appearing on systems like Wii, DS, and 3DS. The series was always a modest seller, but that all changed in theย Nintendo Switchย era.ย Animal Crossing: New Horizonsย released on the system in 2020, where it far outsold any previous game in the series. As of this writing, the game is the second best-selling on Nintendo Switch, with more than 42 million copies sold. By comparison, the previous best-selling game in the series was Animal Crossing: New Leaf, which sold 13 million copies.
