Nintendo writes, “Looking at software, Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield became big hits, posting sales of 17.37 million units, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, released in March, sold 11.77 million units, which is now the best start ever for a Nintendo Switch title.”

Although being a Switch-exclusive, it has been smashing records since it came out in March. There’s a logical reason behind this. The game is one of the most relaxing games out there, taking the best elements from popular games such as Stardew Valley.

Animal Crossing shapes up to be the perfect tranquil game for the time, letting you live the countryside life of your dreams.
