Animal Crossing

I only have the GameCube version. When I first got it, I spent a lot of time playing it, trying to catch all the bugs/pay off my house/catch all the fish/find all the fossils. But after a while I stopped playing because there was nothing new to do. Also, the game having real time instead of a faster game time meant that I would miss events because I was in school, work, dealing with real life, or just plain forgot. (And I didn't want to constantly play around with my GameCube's clock just to get some virtual item that did nothing.)

I recently played the game for a few days when I couldn't play my usual game. But Animal Crossing isn't much of a good time-waster like I would want from a video game because of the real time. I play video games to pass the time of my day, not to do nothing in a virtual world.

This is why I haven't bought the DS version, and the Wii version is still in the wrapper. Animal Crossing is fun when you first get it as you explore the world/neighborhood, but there's only so much to do once you reach a certain point. There's not a lot to do in the game to even explore, in the GameCube version at least.

The game's just boring after a while, which is why my versions are all collecting dust.
 
I'm hooked on that game. I still don't know why but that is the BEST non action series I have ever played. I still can't stop playing Wild World.
 
is your one-stop site for everything Animal Crossing covering the original Animal Crossing (GameCube),Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS), and now, Animal Crossing: City Folk (Wii).Here you can set up and show off your catalog to others, trade your stuff with other users.I've have the Wii and the DS version.I wish I had the Gamecube version though.
 
I never really got into this game. To me nothing much really happen in it. Virtual World games have never been my thing. My sister said the game was great tho and always enjoyed playing it.
 
I have the Wii verison, but didn't play it much as other games...
 
I have all 3 games X3 I just got the Wii version for Christmas and started playing today. If you wanna trade FC's let me know XD
 
I have Animal Crossing Let's Go To The City (City Folk) on the Wii and I have two Wild World cards for the DS. It got boring fast enough. The most interesting thing I ever did was change my hair. :/
 
I've had all three US versions of AC. :(

I played the most on the GC. :D~
I beat most of it. XD;

Then on WW, I finally got enough bells to pay off my house after not playing forever. I played it a lot.

And then, with CF.. I'm just kind of disappointed. It took away features that WW added [;-; Animal Pictures. I worked hard on getting all of those]
And, I stopped playing for a while, and then I heard there was all this DLC, and I missed it, and it just makes me like .. :(
I played the other day for the first time in months and my town was infested with weeds. ;-;
I'm close to paying off my final mortgage, though. ):

AC:CF could've been so much better =3=;

I'll get a sequel most likely, if another comes out. :(
 
I was pretty much hopelessly obsessed with Animal Crossing on the GCN back in 2002 when I got it. So much so that when I caught wind of Doubutsu no Mori e+ I came very close to importing it and getting one of those things that lets you play imported games on the US GCN.

But my parents had to stop me from doing so. They didn't care that I was obsessed enough to buy it, they just thought that ordering online from the site I was looking at was too dangerous. (although I'm still pretty sure that it was and is a safe site.)

It's sad that it never worked out too, because I believe I missed out on the only "sequel" that Animal Crossing ever got that only added things and didn't have to screw everything up.

Wild World was a fair sequel. I mean at least it added vital things such as Wi-Fi, accessories and hairstyles. But other than that it changed things just to change them and took away that nice atmosphere that only the GCN game had. Thus it was very bittersweet for me.

When I heard of City Folk (or moreover Animal Crossing Wii when it hadn't been given that name yet.) I was really hopeful that they'd get it right this time around. But it seems that it wasn't a fluke that AC:WW was bad, it was a fluke that Animal Crossing on the GCN turned out so perfectly.

Just don't even get me started on City Folk. What I'll say is it's a shame to Nintendo. They did so little work on it, and it's obvious. Unfortunately what little work they put into it was to make the game worse, like making the animals even less sociable and making the house size small again.

So yes, I'm now convinced that Animal Crossing on the GCN was just a fluke. It's sad really. I would have loved a real Animal Crossing sequel, but Nintendo seems so incapable of it. They just have to continue to make changes that the vast majority of the Animal Crossing fanbase will inevitably see as bad, while ignoring great new features that could be added like outdoor furniture.
 
I played the DS one and i got bored within the first couple of minutes of going around town to meet all the weirdos. I was going to get city folk because its so cheap and i wanted to expand my wii game collection but then i said "man this game might be to girly to play".
 
In my opinion, it's one of those games that actually get you into the game. I mean, if a citizen moves away, you're like "don't go!". I have the GCN version and Wild World, and they're both two of my preferred games for the consoles.
 
I saw my friend playing the Wii Animal Crossing, so I wanted to try it out. I grabbed his GCN version one, and tested it out. It was alright, but nothing special. I borrowed his DS one, but that was just atrocious; boring and the graphics weren't great. But, I recently got CF, and it's okay. I personally like the Wifi that it supports, though.
