Today marks exactly ten years since Animal Crossing: New Leaf<\/a> was first released on 3DS. Outside Japan, we had to wait until June the following year to become mayor in our autostereoscopic 3D hamlets, although its Switch counterpart, Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/a>, would be the first game in the main series to get a simultaneous worldwide release.<\/p>\n

Recency bias is something all gamers will be familiar with, and something reviewers take into account before waxing lyrical over a series entry that, with time, may not be quite as exciting as when it was the new hotness. Throw in nostalgia for the one you played first and things get even more confused.<\/p>\n

Still, a decade on from the 3DS game, and two-and-a-half on from New Horizons’ Switch launch (and one year on from the Happy Home Paradise DLC<\/a>), all of us are in a better position to evaluate the pros and cons of each entry and decide our personal favourite between the two. And that’s just what we’re going to do.<\/p>\n
