Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Animal Crossing: New Leaf improved everything from its portable predecessor to the Nth degree. Rather than subjecting you to Tom Nook's yoke, New Leaf appointed you mayor and granted you unprecedented municipal authority to shape the town to your satisfaction. These modifications were made possible by your adorable doggie helper Isabelle, a diligent public servant on standby to handle day-to-day office responsibilities while you go about your vital mayoral duties such as beachcombing, fishing, shaking trees, and annoying bees.

Using the 3DS' SpotPass feature, you could look around the residences of players you saw on the street and order their furnishings if something caught your eye. It's also easy to overlook the system's distinctive 3D effect, which rendered the world more appealing than ever before. It wasn't in HD, but New Leaf was a nice-looking game, and with the 3D slider set to maximum, it was never simpler to get lost in your small village. Animal Crossing: New Horizons on Switch still has a long way to go to surpass this.
