NL: Animal Crossing: New Leaf is one of those titles which has been instrumental in selling the Nintendo 3DS to the wider gaming public. When it launched in the west back in 2013 it appeared to trigger a rush of interest in Nintendo's portable system, and everyone seemed to be talking about it - sharing their experiences, visiting each other's towns and generally getting lost in the game's addictive charm. It should therefore come as no surprise that Nintendo is double-dipping with the series for the first time in a single hardware generation, but Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is clearly a long way off being a proper sequel - as we pointed out in our First Impressions piece a while back, it's really a spin-off more than anything.
