Occasionally. I bought it because I love the Wii and Animal Crossing so I thought I needed to buy it, but was slightly underwhelmed. The villagers are WAY worse than in New Horizons. Like they'll just say the same sentence over and over after speaking like twice. The city is fine though, it's great to have Redd constantly there every day. I think I'll start playing it more, the villagers will probably get a little better if I keep talking
I'm not sure how you plan on playing multiplayer though
