After how great Wild World was, and how bad City Folk was, I don't think I'll ever pick up a console Animal Crossing again. I know it started on the N64, but Animal Crossing is really much better suited as a handheld game.
While I definitely agree that AC is more fun handheld, I'll give another console version a shot. ACGC was awesome, and WW was awesome. CF sucked big, but it felt so half-assed. I think they could thrive with a more powerful HD console.
