Is Nintendo not letting villagers speak in English in Animal Crossing: New Horizons a bad influence?
Players’ complaints about villagers are very common in the community. Many users have already complained regarding the lack of in-game dialogues and interaction previously. Therefore, in order to improve users’ satisfaction, Nintendo released a few villagers’ updates in the recent 2.0 update.
Interestingly, one Reddit user recently complained regarding villagers having no in-game language dialogue. According to the user, since Nintendo doesn’t let villagers speak any language, it becomes tough for young children or people who can’t read. This is a very general issue as young age children won’t be able to interact with villagers if they couldn’t read.
Interestingly, other users have very different experiences and consoled the Reddit user that this will only motivate her daughter to learn the language and read.
One comment said,” Video games which require reading can be a great tool to encourage and help kids improve their reading skills. I know several people in my own family who cite wanting to play video games in the early 90s as the reason they learned to read before going to school.”
Whereas another user shared a similar experience with the community. They said, “This. Also, as someone who’s not a native English speaker, games that were only available in English encouraged me to improve my English.”
