If you love playing social games with others then you’ll be interested to know that Animal Crossing: New Horizons allows players to visit each other’s islands and enjoy that sweet tropical life together.

Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the best villager of them all?

There are over 400 villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons made up of 35 different animal species and 8 different personality types. Just like with Pokémon, everyone has their own personal favorite that they just have to play with. But who is the best villager in New Horizons? The iMore gaming team took this question very seriously. We’ve each identified our favorite villager and have written up a little blurb explaining just why that character is the very best. See if you agree with us or if we left your favorite out.

By the way, it is possible to invite specific villagers to your island as long as you have that character’s amiibo card.

Every villager has a birthday. Here’s our list of every single one of them!

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, each villager that can move into your island has a birthday. On that day, they hold parties at their house and you’ll get an opportunity to give them a gift, so it’s important to keep track of everyone’s special day. This can be a little tough to do since villagers may not mention their birthday at all until the day has arrived, and if this happens you may not be able to get them the gift that you would like to on such a short notice. Don’t worry, though, because we’ve compiled a list of every villager’s birthday for you that you can refer back to so that your celebration plans are never foiled.
