He🌃llo Kitty Island Adventure: 10 Characters Who Should Be Added

Hello Kitty Island Adventꦺure has a lot of cute S♏anrio characters already, but we'd love to see these ones too.

However, while both games are similar on the surface, they are quite different in the details and the features they offer. Each game has its own distinct 🌃advantages and disadvantages, but let’s see how they compare to each other, and see if Hello Kitty can beat𝔍 out Tom Nook for the crown.

10 ൩ Island Residents

Draw

In terms of sheer numbers, New Horizons wins out by having 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:more than 400 villagers in its roster, 𒁃so there’s a lot of variety in who can c൩ome to live on your island. While Hello Kitty Island Adventure has far fewer, it has the benefit of its cast being established Sanrio characters. Everyone loves Cinnamoroll and My Melody, of course.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure’s characters are more fleshed out and have indivi𒊎dual personalities, whereas New Horizons’ islanders can only have one of eight pre-determined personalities. This makes New Horizons’ islanders a little repetitive, especially as you will always need to double-up on at least two personalities to fill the ten spots on your island. It’s up to personal preference whether you want more villagers to choose from or more distinct characters.

9 𝔉 Soundtrack ♍

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

The Animal 𒐪Crossing series is known for its excellent soundtracks that change depending on the time of day and season. While New Horizons’ soundtrack isn’t the best in the series, it still does a great job of making you feel like you’re on a new adventure and building a life on the island.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure’s soundtrack is okay, and it does what it needs to do, but it doesn’t have that something that makes it special and memorable. It’s very easy to turn the sound off and listen to something else while you’re pl𒁏aying, whereas you want to hear New Horizons’ music while you’re doing your daily tasks.

8 🐽 Daꦐily Activities

Hello Kitty Island Adventure

Animal Crossing is well-known for its use of real time, and while it makes for a great, slow-paced and cosy exp༺erience, it makes things difficult when you’re trying to develop your island in New Horizons - which is the game’s main goal. You can only build or move one building per day, so you’re often limited in the developments you can make.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure: All Seaside Resort Puzzlꦜe Room Locations And Solutions

Seaside Re🌱sort has a total of five puzzle rooms in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, and꧒ here's how you can solve them all.

While Hello Kitty Island Adventure is similarly paced, you aren’ꦛt so limited. You can complete any quests you want per day (as long as you reach other requirem♏ents). The only thing you’re really limited to is three gifts per day to your island residents, and you can do pretty much anything else you want.

You can change the time on your Switch to bypass New Horizons’ daily limit, but trying to do the same in Hello Kitty Island Adventure may result in a corrupted save file. However, you can sleep in a bed to change the time o❀f dayꦇ.

7 ജ Decorating 𓂃

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

The best part of New Horizons is how much freedom you have with decorating your island and your house - ther༺e’s even an entire DLC dedicated to decorating with Happy Home Paradise. You can change the shape of the rivers, add bridges and inclines, setಌ furniture outside, and use custom patterns.

While you can decorate cabins, including your own, in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, the island is already pre-decorated for you. It looks fantastic, but that element of creative freedom and being able to make th🍌e island completely unique to you just isn’t there.

6 Performance 🌜

Draw

Hello ဣKitty Isla꧟nd Adventure’s performance will depend on what platform you’re playing it on, but as we’re comparing it to New Horizons, which is a Nintendo Switch exclusive, we’ll compare how the two perform on Switch. Both games perform decently well, but there is notable lag in both.

When you’re running around Hello Kitty Island Adventure, your game might lag behind slightly, which can be bothersome when you’re completing minigames. New Horizons can also lag badly if you have a lot of furniture displayed, which pretty muc🅰h goes aga༒inst its ethos of decorating to your heart’s content. Both have issues, but neither is worse than the other.

5 Crafting

Hello Kitty Island Adventure

One of the biggest complaints fans have about New Horizons is the limit on crafting one item at a time and needing to craft or buy tools when they break. Hello Kitty Island Adventure, however, lets you craft mul🌳tiples of the same item, and, once you craft a tool, you have it forever.

On the flip side, you can press A repeatedly while crafting in New Hor♐izons to speed up the crafting animation, but this isn’t an option in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, so you have to watch the animation each time. Having your tools last forever and not break is a big win though, especially when they’re what you’re using most often.

4 Minigames

Hello Kitty Island Adventure

This is an easy win for Hello Kitty Island Adventure, as New Horizons has no minigames, to the point where fans started to create their own when playing multiplayer with their friends. Hello Kitty Island Adventure has six minigames you can play on the island, which you need Game Tick𝓀ets to play.

You can also play these minigames with friends if you 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:join up for multiplayer and win prizes from them, su🤡ch as clothing or furniture. While Hello Kitty Island Adventure could have a few more minigames, at least it has them in the f﷽irst place.

3 Quests

A list of quests in the menu in Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

There is one singular quest in New Horizons: develop your island and build up your star rating so that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:K.K. Slider will come to play a show. While this is a fine goal, New Horizons would have more depth if there were ot😼her, smaller quests throughout the game.

Technically, there Nook Miles Goals, but these act more lik♕e achievements than proper quests.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure, however, has a multitude of quests connected💞 to opening up the island and growi⛦ng your friendship with the Sanrio characters. These quests help to keep things moving along nicely and allow you to connect more with the characters on the island.

2 🌺 Critter Collecting 🍒

1 Winner

Hello Kitty Island Adventure

Your preference over whether Animal Crossing: New Horizons or Hello Kitty Island Adventure is better will largely come down to what you want to spend the majority of your time doing. Hello Kitty Island Adventure has more to do in tꦛerms of minigames, quests, and bonding with the island residents, whereas New Horizons primarily focuses on decorating your island.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure definitely doesn’t win the decorating competition, but it has much more to offer elsewhere, so you’ll♐ have more things to do in general. One of the biggest issues New Horizons has is that there isn’t much left to do once your island is decorated and K.K. Slider has visited, so if you’re looking for a cosy game to keep you occupied for longer, Hello Kitty Island Adventure might be the better option for you.
