A Nintendo Switch Exclusives, comes out this Friday, March 20th.
Animal Crossing is a game about taking care of your town and building up your inventory over long periods of time. It takes place in real time (night in real life is night in the game, for example), and it's the type of game you play for months as you slowly build and change your town. You start out with a tiny tent and a large debt, and spend time paying of the debt and getting bigger and better houses and you build the world around you.
If you like games like Rune Factory, The Sims or Harvest Moon, this is probably for you.

I've read about the 3 day sales in Japan when it was released. Insane numbers. I'm going to get this for my oldest daughter. This is the type of game I think she will enjoy just based on the fact that she plays "township" on her tablet and loves it. Seems like a similar slow build up type of game.

Yeah, the reports coming in are also saying that the U.S. numbers were pushed beyond madness, so it's gonna be interesting to see the final tally.
Animal Crossing is like The Sims, it's huge among girls, when Nintendo noticed how many girls were playing it on the DS, they restructured the Animal Crossing development team to be 50% women. The game is basically optimized to attract girls and younger audiences, and it's a huge market that is paying dividends right now. I expect more publishers to try to replicate and make more games like this, it's just too damn huge of a market.
Just received the game yesterday. I can already tell it's one of those games where I will have to limit her on the amount of time she can play it per day.
Before receiving this game, she loved mario odyssy and yoshi's crafted world, but said animal crossing is easily better than both already.
