Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer
Released in 2015, Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is a spin-off of the Animal Crossing series on Nintendo 3DS. In this game, your goal is to design the idea home for your various animal friends in-game. And it looks like Europe has quite a lot of home designers, as Nintendo announced yesterday that the game had sold over 1 million units in Europe alone.
While this isn’t anywhere near the usual sales level of a mainline Animal Crossing game, it still did pretty well for a spin-off!
In Europe, 1 million of you have been creating dream homes in #ACHappyHome. Thanks so much for playing! https://t.co/U7GikRoFZB pic.twitter.com/hiwuPDWklV
