I can't remember many villagers from my City Folk game cause I didn't play it very often but I remember having Cube and loved him!
In my New Leaf game though my first villagers were bluebear, peaches, clay, samson, and francine!
I just heard about this really sad news and I'm heart broken. Rest in peace Iwata :( thank you for helping to create many fun times and memories. You will be loved and forever missed!
