Animal Crossing Could Make Good Use of a Simple Persona 5 Feature

Animal Crossing: New Horizons was a smash hit for Nintendo, turning the once niche franchise into one of the company’s most recognizable series. New Horizons achieved this feat because of its immense amount of customization options and the ability for players to share their creations with others at a time when people were unable to be together. The success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and other games like Stardew Valley in recent years has created a boom in the cozy game genre. What was once a niche space is now growing, and future Animal Crossing games will need to learn from other entries in the life simulation and cozy game genres if it wants to keep up with the competition.
