The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Image via Nintendo While the franchise was a modest success on GameCube, it grew into a smash hit when its successor, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, released on the Switch. It ran on a real-time clock, so the time of day, month, and seasons matched those of the real world.
This adorable life simulator let players move into a town full of friendly animals, decorate their own house, and pass the hours in its idyllic countryside charm.
