So I am a fan of retro gaming and was a kid during the GBA/Gamecube into the DS/Wii era. I never actually owned a Gamecube though until recently. I have also loved and played all the mainline Animal Crossing Games since Wild World on the DS. So, naturally I missed out on the original Animal Crossing on Gamecube.
Unfortunately, Gamecube games are steadily increasing in price as of late but thankfully Animal Crossing isn't too crazy at the moment. It's about $50-$70 CAD ($40-$60 US) depending on if it's just the disc or includes the box and whatnot. To put into perspective I recently bought Mario Kart Double Dash for $90 CAD (~$72 USD) and two years ago I bought Fire Emblem Path of Radiance for $200 CAD (~$160 USD). Animal Crossing is by no means cheap but it's not nearly as crazy as other titles.
Also does the Gamecube clock run on a built in battery? I'm pretty sure the one in mine would be toast if that is the case. I also have a backwards compatible Wii though so if the in game clock can just run off of the Wii's time instead then I could just play it on there.
TLDR/Conculsion: For those that have played the original Animal Crossing on Gamecube, while putting your nostalgia glasses aside would you recommend someone like me to track down a copy or should I pass and save my money or other retro games I might want in the future instead?
