A creative Animal Crossing fan is sharing their concept for a series of snail-themed villagers, imagining multiple different adorable NPCs players could interact with. The beloved life simulation series from Nintendo has become a staple of the studio's new consoles, with each new game in the franchise typically seeing success for Nintendo. The franchise's most recent outing was particularly prominent within Nintendo's lineup for the Switch, with Animal Crossing: New Horizons becoming the second best-selling Switch game.
