As you will know if you take a look at our homepage today, Crossing the Animals: New HorizonsThe latest event of the season, Natural Day, started today. It gives players the opportunity to unlock new challenges, interact with a friendly sloth, and buy planting trees around their islands.
It all sounds – and is actually playable – like any other part of Nintendo's breakthrough health sim, but it never goes down to that for everyone.
A a new headline from British stores The Independent described the new event as a "farce". The full article reads, & # 39; Nature's Crossing Animal Day Event is a long way off – the Nintendo game teaches kids toxic environmental lessons & # 39 ;.
The main body of the text itself doesn't read as hilariously as you might think from that tragic article, but it does talk about the average game of fishing, catching bugs, logging for rewards or financial gain, noting that the practice does not exactly match the message presented on Earth Day – a real global event that has spurred new celebrations. of the game Animal Crossing.
Part one reads as follows:
"… You can fish the forest, eat fish and block the contents of your heart, leaving behind piles of trunks and empty holes when you wake up. After you take out the last vital amount of island services, you go home, and, an unwanted, used island sinks into the sea. the game puts its spin on the koan of age: when 30 trees fall into the forest, and no one will ever be there to hear it, make them emit sounds – without "cha-ching"? "
Earlier this week, a piece of books on Buster Insider also took a swipe at the game, dubbed "a dumb, boring children's play". The author of that piece seemed to confirm that it was only made to take the breath away from fans and earn him some money in its progression.
We never thought we would see Animal Crossing hit the media, and they definitely don't like this. Feel free to share your thoughts on the whole situation in the comments below.
