Animal Crossing: New Horizons has suddenly become one of Nintendo's biggest hits of the year, and it seems like the game's popularity will not be stopping any time soon — especially in times like these; when people need something to relax and forget about the outside world.
Nintendo has already revealed that Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the Nintendo Switch's best launch ever, with the game selling an impressive over 11 million units as of the 21st of March. What makes this even more impressive is the fact that that amount of copies were shipped in only eleven days after its release.
Not only fans of the Animal Crossing series are the ones to influence for those sales, as word of mouth has also been a deciding factor, and chances are that Animal Crossing: New Horizons is someone's first exposure to the long-running series.
For those who may be playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons and may be struggling to build their town, Nintendo has got your back, as they have released a handy guide to help those who may not be too familiar with the game, or how things work — and trust me, there are a lot of things that the game doesn't tell you.
