 ''Animal Crossing'' was established as one of Nintendo's regular franchises following the GameCube release, and every sequel in the ''Animal Crossing'' series had since been released worldwide. From a Western perspective, the second game was ''Animal Crossing: Wild World'', released for the Nintendo DS in late 2005, which introduced an online play component to the series. The third game, ''Animal Crossing: City Folk'' (or ''Let's Go To The City'' in PAL regions) for the Wii in late 2008, added a city outside of the main town as a new area that could be visited. The fourth game, ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf'' for the Nintendo 3DS on June 2013, allows the player character to become the mayor of the town and obtain new customization options for it. In 2017, ''Animal Crossing'' became the fourth Nintendo IP to receive a spinoff for smartphones, with ''Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp'', a campsite management game. On March 20th 2020, ''Animal Crossing: New Horizons'' was released on the Nintendo Switch, being the first game since ''City Folk'' to release on a home console. The game itself was massively popular, beating out both ''Wild World'' and ''New Leaf'' to become the best-selling game in the franchise. The franchise had also spawned an anime film that was released only in Japan, and ''Animal Crossing'' properties steadily grew in representation in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games until a character representing a typical ''Animal Crossing'' player-character was included as a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' as "{{SSB4|Villager}}".
-In a given ''Animal Crossing'' game, the player's avatar, a [[Villager|human boy or girl]], moves into a randomly-generated village in a forest that is populated by anthropomorphic, talking animals that are all roughly his or her size (despite the large range of animal species the villagers encompass). In ''New Horizons'', the player and two other villagers are instead taken to a deserted island as part of the Deserted Island Getaway Package offered by [[Tom Nook]]. Once the avatar is settled into their living quarters, they may interact with and perform errands for the amiable residents on a day-to-day basis, amassing wealth (in the form of a type of currency called "bells") and a variety of decorative paraphernalia for their own house. Additionally in ''New Horizons'', the player can decorate their island by placing down furniture and using the {{s|Nookipedia|Island Designer Construction Permit}} to customize cliffs and rivers to their preferred setting. The series is generally is open-ended in that there are no objectives to complete and no way to "beat" the game per se, though one may pursue goals such as collecting all available types of bugs and fish in the game world. However, ''New Horizons'' does give a main objective of attracting [[K.K. Slider]] on the island, requiring the player to amass a 3-star rating by decorating and inviting villagers on to their island. The only "long term" goal in all the games for players to complete in order to access an unrestricted play experience is that they must amass enough wealth to regularly pay off their house's mortgage whenever the town shopkeeper and real-estate agent, Tom Nook the tanuki, upgrades the floor space of their house. Each game released tracks the real-world passage of time through the platform's internal calendar and affects the status of the player's village appropriately even when that village is not being played, and a player's avatar is able to visit the village of another player's copy of the game.
