Wanting to get back into New Leaf

[Mr_Meester]

New Leaf was a central part of my early adolescence. I didn't really have any friends, so I played New Leaf. I loved it. I wasn't great at the game, but I had so much fun. I enjoyed watching my town prosper. I started a new town back last year, but I haven't really played it all too much. I can't remember the last time I've played it. I'd really like to get back into it, but I'm unsure how to. I'm going to college this fall, but I'll try to get into Animal Crossing New Leaf.

It is worth it for sure!!
There isn’t online play on the 3ds or WiiU anymore though so features like Dream Addresses or visiting other towns isn’t possible.

It’s 100% worth it. I love New Leaf, more so than NH because I can’t actually catch bugs and fish in peace without having to get a new net or rod every 5 seconds.

Spoiler: Shhhhhhhh

(Plus, I don’t know if we can talk about this, but if you have a dodgy 3ds, Pretendo are working towards restoring the online functions of NL)

i think new leaf would be a great way to unwind in college, lol it's what i did! i'm having a blast replaying the game after a few years of only playing new horizons.

I'm trying to return back to my towns as well! I know the struggle. And it's a little different to the newest game so, you kinda feel kinda stuck.
I would say, try and play a little each day, not for too long, just to allow yourself to immerse into the game again. Do little things each day like collecting daily fossils. Get back in the way you catch bugs and fish.
If you have Brewster's cafe, go in and try and make some coffee for villagers. Play some Island games~
Talk a little to the villagers to get a feel at how they used to speak back then. Try not to overstress over things you don't have control over in the game as you're just getting back into it. And getting fustrated over someone suddenly moving or ruining something will do the oppisite.

I hope college goes well~ and this game is definitely something that can release any stress from the day!
