It’s time to cross swords over Animal Crossing! In this episode of The Old SwitchAroo: Lite Switch, Jaymo continues his break from researching, reviewing, and playfully ribbing all 250+ games in the Nintendo Switch Online retro catalog. Today, he faces off against returning guest Lisa from the Geek Pop Podcast in a competition to see whose Animal Crossing island has the best house, villagers, and overall theming. Their guest judge is fellow Geek Popper and Animal Crossing aficionado, Big Chris; he brings his wit and wisdom to the islands of Jaymorea and Cacahuete to declare one tropical paradise as The Bells of the Ball!
Which isle will make him smile? Will he blush at Jaymo’s Classic Art Peep Show? Or will he go flush at the sight of Lisa’s infamous Toilet Gardens? Which villagers will have him in a gift-giving frenzy, and who deserves to be voted off the island? Come along on this jovial journey; you can even judge the custom creations for yourself using the Dream Addresses listed below!
