Garden Paws is a multiplayer RPG simulation game developed by indie team Bitten Toast Games. Grow plants, run your shop, tame animals, rebuild the town, go spelunking in the caves and more in this relaxing and unbearably cute game. The game was released early in 2018 on Steam here but is currently still in development. You can also play a shorter free demo here. The demo has a limited amount of quests that result in 2-4 hours of questing gameplay, but you can continue exploring the world and running your shop past that. Garden Paws will be set to officially launch in December 2019 on the Nintendo Switch and PC.
In Garden Paws you have inherited your grandparents farm as they set off to travel the world. Work with Frank at the local construction shop to finish off the final touches on your new home. Aid Frank and Mayor Wilson in building up the town so it can reach its full potential.
To build up the town you need coins, what better way to earn those then by running a shop! Explore the islands and its caves to collect everything from flowers to poop to sell in your shop. Over time and with each building built, new townsfolk sail to the island with new items for purchase and quests to complete.

Animal Crossing New leaf: Welcome Amiibo is having its 8th! annual bunny day. Animal Crossing Bunny Day is the one day a year that all of your villagers will participate in the egg hunt. First introduced in City folk, bunny day has become a fans favorite holiday to celebrate. Zipper will appear in your town on a Sunday in March or April to celebrate Bunny Day! While this years Bunny Day is still a few weeks away, it always takes some time to prepare for major events in Animal Crossing.
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf Welcome Amiibo the player will be able to hunt for six different kind of eggs. Easier said than done, finding the eggs can be challenging, so prepare yourself to turn your village upside down. You can find the eggs by performing certain activities, fishing, diving, tree shaking, hitting rocks, digging up holes, and shooting down presents from the sky with the slingshot.
All of these activities make the event more challenging but more fun at the same time. Once you find the eggs you can open them to receive a prize. Prizes vary and can either be candy (yum!) , winning tickets or even a grand prize ticket.
If the egg ends up looking super delicious, you might end up eating it, in which case you will receive a prize ticket. Tickets can be traded in for an item in the egg series, while the more rare grand prize tickets can be exchanged for Zippers picture. However, there is one item that can not be obtained using tickets, and that is the beautiful egg basket. This item is rare and can only be received if you collect all of the six different eggs on bunny day.
The friendly and adorable bunny – Zipper T. will award the player one of the following items from the egg series for every Bunny Ticket! If you can’t sleep without a photo of Zipper on your night stand, then you need to look for a grand prize ticket.
Trading in that ticket will make Zipper gift you his picture. You don’t have to settle with just one picture of him, the grand prize ticket can be obtained more than once during the Animal Crossing Bunny Day.

The highly anticipated multiplayer update for the PC version of the game was released on 1st August 2018.
The solo developer of Stardew Valley (ConcernedApe) has previously announced that the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch versions of the game will also get a multiplayer update eventually. The developer has confirmed in tweets and updates that the co-op will not be cross-platform. As disappointing as this is for fans to hear, the decision is understandable.
Whilst an exact date hasn’t been given, the game’s publisher (Chucklefish) has recently confirmed that Stardew Valley for Switch will be next to receive the Multiplayer update. Having been submitted for final approval, it is expected that the update will be available either by the end of the year or in early 2019.
