Animal Crossing New Leaf Played By 87 Year Old Grandmother For Over 3,500 Hours

Animal Crossing New Leaf

With 2019 finally here, Nintendo Switch owners have much to look forward to in this new year, especially if they are fans of Animal Crossing. After a big Nintendo Direct reveal that announced Animal Crossing’s Isabelle would be a new fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Nintendo also confirmed that a new Animal Crossing game would be coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2019. However, one unlikely fan has still found the time to stay interested in this upcoming game’s predecessor, Animal Crossing New Leaf. This fan just happens to be an 87 year-old grandmother who has logged over 3,500 hours in the game.

Paul Hubans on Twitter shared the recent discovery he made about his grandmother’s playing habits. His family gave their 87 year-old grandmother a new Nintendo 3DS for Christmas, after learning that the one she had been using for several years had finally broken. He had been aware of his grandmother’s love of Animal Crossing, but had not known just how devoted she was to her town. Upon completing the system transfer of her old 3DS to her new one, he discovered that his grandmother had played Animal Crossing New Leaf for 3,580 hours, or 149 days, with an average playtime of 1 hour and 25 minutes for each session.

Hubans was also asked if his grandmother would be playing the new Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing, to which he confirmed she did not have the new console. He then promptly started a GoFundMe campaign to buy his grandmother a Switch, to which the goal has since been met. Hopefully though, the new Switch version of the series does not cause her to neglect her Animal Crossing New Leaf town. Tom Nook would be too happy to take back his beloved properties, the greedy little jerk.
