Animal Crossing in Official Nintendo Magazine

The Animal Crossing series was regularly mentioned in ONM, often in features. ONM reviewed Animal Crossing: Wild World, Animal Crossing: City Folk and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Animal Crossing: Wild World was awarded 95%, and was praised for having "so much to see and do." Chris Scullion gave Animal Crossing: City Folk 90% in Issue 37 of the magazine, commenting on incremental improvements such as the use of the D-pad to quickly switch between tools, but he criticized the lack of innovation. Animal Crossing: New Leaf was awarded 95% by Joe Skrebels in Issue 96, who described it as a "beautiful, generous and warm-hearted game in every way and a worthy successor to Wild World's crown."

ONM have also written about Animal Crossing: New Leaf pre-release on more than one occasion.

Issues 2, 33, 37, and 94 featured Animal Crossing themed covers. Villager appeared on the cover of Issue 103.
