Animal Crossing is not just a game; it is a life of its own. From real-time in-game clocks to IRL season-based events, Animal Crossing players get to experience the life of a villager almost to the extent of reality. Nintendo also makes sure that the game always stays true to this immersion.

It’s been two-and-a-half years since the release of the game, yet it still hasn’t received many updates and patches for the past year, adding more misery to the loyal fans who have been patiently waiting for some good news.
