It's the perfect summer game. It's a great feeling to just pop it out and go catching bugs, fishing and just walk around your own virtual world with your animal buddies. There's also the sense of exploring and accomplishment you can get, since every day is actually different. Portability is a big part of my enjoyment for this series though, so the GCN and Wii version are a no-no. I'm very excited to get my hands on New Leaf for free, it'll make my summer. (Thanks, Nintendo of Europe!)
