I played Animal Crossing long before new horizons came out. When I played wild world and new leaf at the time, not one of them ever spoke of it and now it's booming hype like fortnite.
What has become better than the previous parts? I haven't played it yet. And where does the hype come from?
Because almost ALL big Youtubers play it
This is because Nintendo does not bring out very many larger multiplayer grinding games, is something bigger that appeals to a lot of people. Even if I don't quite understand the hype myself, it seems that despite Craftig and Grind it is probably very popular because of that.
I thought the new leaf was mega hyped, I've been playing animalcrossing the series for a long time, and I thought everyone had always talked about it.
With New Horizon it is just that the game is new, it is normal for everyone to play it.
Because it's a good game.
and because that's exactly what people need in a quarantine
I think, for example, that as wild world and new leaf came out, the internet was not quite what it is today, I also played both and then I was 10 when I played new leaf and still had no cell phone to access the internet go. After that I played it again a few years later and was able to access the Internet and there it was very hyped
