## Description

Nintendo 2019 1 Game Cartridge

Review: Coronavirus Salvation - I pre-ordered this a while ago for my Nintendo Switch Lite. I have spent 2 days playing it so far and im not getting to bed until 4am, its so addictive. Good job we all are self isolating because of Coronavirus because i think i would lose my job. Its a nifty little game, there is so much to do, there is lots of going back and forth, gathering materials, making tools, accumulating miles and bells, fishing, and visiting mystery islands. I think ive played a good 20 hours so far over the 2 days, and ive only just managed to pay nook his 5000 miles and took a loan out for my house. There is a lot of work to do. This will take me months and months to get through, i am okay with that though because it keeps me busy, distracted from the isolation, and i really enjoy it. Fantastic value. Update: Im not sure if any you have played this before but wanted to share some tips and tricks that i had to figure out the hard way. You start off with a native fruit, mine was oranges. You have to pay 2000 miles for a nook ticket to visit mystery islands to try and forage iron nuggets and other fruits. Once you have those fruits do not sell them. Use your flimsy shovel to dig holes and then plant the fruit in the holes and it will grow a fuit tree. You have to look for Oranges, Cherries, Pears, Apples, Peaches, and Coconuts. On that last one, Coconut trees can only be planted on the beach. When foraging for iron nuggets, dig 2 holes behind you so that you dont fall backwards, and hit your stones with a shovel and it will spit out iron nuggets. You will need 30 to give to Nook to build the shop. Also fish twice a day, once in the daytime and once at night because you will get different types of fish. Upgrade with your miles to get bigger storage, it will cost you 8000 miles but its worth it. You will need a vaulting pole to jump over rivers. You will get it from Blathers when you give him 15 specimens to open the museum. Unlike other tools it wont ever break. Be prepared to replace your tools a lot because they do not last. When you get your house start stockpiling wood. Your house comes with a nifty feature. Free storage. You press right on the direction pad and you can put things into storage for safe keeping. Shake your trees every day to get tree branches. Each tree will spit out 8 branches, but never more than that. Same with your fruit. Stockpile. You can use it to trade for other fruits when you visit other islands or when you get online friend codes. And you can use it to plant fruit trees. I have planted hundreds all over my island. Nook also gives you money for fruit so its a good money making scheme. When you get your shovel, once a day you will notice a glowing spot on the ground, use your shovel and dig a hole. It will give you a money bag. 1st one is 1000 bells. Leave the hole open and click x to select the bag but use the joystick to increase the value of the bag to 10,000 bells and then bury the bag in the hole. This gives you a money tree. Each tree then gives you 3 bags of 10,000 bells. You can then use your shovel to dig the money tree up and replant it somewhere easier to find. Ive put all mine next to my house, i have 4 so far. You will need them becuase infastructure later in the game is expensive. Your 1st bridge costs you over 100, 000 bells and more so you need a lot of money. Thats as far as ive got so far. Hope this has been helpful.
Review: Enjoyed by all ages - Fantastic game enjoyed by all ages. The start can be a little slow and tedious & younger players may need help as there is quite a lot of reading. But overall it is a brilliant game that can be binged for hours, either alone or with others.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great game very theraputic
*by J***E on 17 July 2020*

This is the best game ever, and thank god for it. I’m currently on furlough from work due to the Coronavirus, this game has been my life saver and when I have felt anxious or worried it has kept me sane. I have always loved Animal Crossing and played the previous games, but by far this is the best one I find it relaxing, very addictive and saved many an argument over the remote control for the TV. Its fun for adults and I can imagine for older children it could be educational, such as having to work for money (or in this case Bells and Nook Miles), paying a mortgage off, also finding out about different Critters. When you donate a new fish/bug or fossil Blathers the wise old Owl from the museum will tell you a little about the item you are donating. Also you can design things, decorate your own house and keep friends with your neighbours, this is just a selection of the activities included. There is so much involved and so much to do once you have helped build the basics of the island like where you want to live, the Museum, Town Hall, Shops and assisted new residents to move to your island you pretty much free to do what you want. You have the usual change of seasons, catching bugs, various fish (which change over the year) and finding fossils but a recent update now sees us deep sea diving for various sea creatures. You still have the usual tournaments and annual events such as Halloween and Easter. What makes this Animal Crossing different is that when you arrive at your chosen island it is deserted and you are limited to where you can go on the island, you have no ladder to climb the cliffs and a vaulting pole to vault across the rivers, so choose wisely, the aesthetics of island does not really matter as you are able to terraform the land later. As you have no equipment or furniture and no means to buy them as the game progresses you go from flimsy tools to more robust equipment, you also get recipes to build a whole range of furniture and accessories You also have a choice between the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere, and you get the seasons to match. Also we see introduced are Nook Miles which can be earned by performing various tasks, Nook Miles can buy you certain items to decorate your island, terraforming equipment and best of all air miles so you can fly off to other deserted islands, if you are lucky to get a rare island it will bring in some big Bells (money). You also have the opportunity to pick fruit that is not native to your island and stock up on the essentials to build furniture & equipment. The only downside of this game is that you cannot have multiple Animal Crossing discs on one console, it is one island per console, to have more than one island you would need a Switch console per game, which to me seems wrong. You can have multiple players for the same island, but if everyone wants to play the game at the same time it could cause friction, lucky for me that is not an issue. Can I recommend it, if your looking for a lovely stress free game that has so much packed into it then go for it, it is worth every penny.
