Honestly, playing older animal crossing titles if new leaf is the first AC you've played isn't worth it. I started with the original, so now, the only reason that's still fun for me is because of nostalgia I guess. Or, if you really like console games rather than handheld, older titles are nice. But really, new leaf has so many new features and there's nothing really in the older games I miss enough to recommend someone who has only played new leaf to purchase an older title
no. not worth it at all.
WW is probs the worst title in the whole series.
Get the GC version, get CF, but don't get WW. It's horrible when compared to the others. Unless you're really eager to play it, and can find a copy really, really cheap somewhere, then I wouldn't buy it

If you've played New Leaf, there really isn't any reason to go back to the older Animal Crossings aside from simple nostalgia. WW is dated compared to New Leaf, so unless you're nostalgic for it I don't recommend it.

now please I will accept the money-payment
My first AC game was City Folk, but after getting Wild World, I actually liked WW over CF. I made best friends with my villagers, got my house to a reasonable size, it just grew on me and I played it up until the day I got NL.
Some will say it's lacking compared to any other AC titles, well it's a ten-year-old DS game and it's not bound to have that much data room anyway. It doesn't have near the amount of things to do that New Leaf does. I got my enjoyment out of the game through bonding with my villagers and trying to achieve things with my house among other things. And I never played it with anyone else... which you have to do for Nook's shop to upgrade to Nookingtons.
HOWEVER. What the game lacks in content, it partially makes up for by giving some of the characters a background story. Talking to Sable unlocks some of her past, Nook and Blathers even open up to you about their lives. I mean, if you're into that kind of thing, go for it, but otherwise it don't do much for you. Wild World is a game more focused around the dialogue than actual events, though there are some fun little parts of the game that are cute if you're easily amused..
Basically, you're gonna have to use your imagination to get as much fun out of it as you do from NL. Also, assuming the NL norm on a lot of features from WW is not a good idea. For example, in WW you can only get one picture from a villager, ever, and they will occasionally ask you if you still have it. So don't get rid of that pic... unless you truly don't care about your villager.
Depending on the way you approach the game, I say go for it.

If you have a Gamecube or the original Wii, I'd buy the original Animal Crossing game over Wild World. The original game at least has some interesting features which are not in New Leaf and has real holidays which makes the game more interesting than WW. Wild World is almost completely inferior to New Leaf as a game.

ok thanks for the help everyone! think ill pass on WW, maybe ill try out the OG animal crossing some time
I liked CF a lot more than WW.
There was a lot more volume, and not to mention, events, which WW lacked.
I would recommend that you DON'T buy WW. It's honestly the worst game in the Animal Crossing series ever. There isn't very much content, too much dialog, to slow, too pixely, and just plain boring. Also City folk was great but It isn't worth playing the older games
i love to go back to WW sometimes just because it was my first ac game, but honestly going from new leaf to WW is a step back and i wouldn't recommend it. though it's not as bad as city folk (don't get me started) i'd stick with new leaf if it's not for nostalgia reasons
Wild World and City Folk are just about the same. Wild World really set the standard for all AC games to follow. The introduction of accessories and ability to change hair, the camera angle, music, the general look overall. Animal Crossing on gamecube, while I agree with everyone else that I would only play it for nostalgic purposes, I can't write it off completely. Cos it's so different from all the other games, it's worth checking out.
Sure, it is a step back. A huge step back if you've played New Leaf, which is definitely the strongest installation in the series, based on how many new features are present. The original Animal Crossing though could be an exciting experience for those who've played at least two other AC games. It's familiar, yet, completely different. Looks different. It sounds different. Special events which never returned & other small things you've never seen in any other AC game. I'd say it's definitely worth a play if anyone missed it.

I've been dabbling with Wild World since it came out, it just isn't that good. It doesn't compare to New Leaf at all.
If you've not played the GameCube AC, that has a lot of charm. I'd suggest buying or downloading New Leaf again so you have 2 towns.

I don't think it's worth it. It was my first Animal Crossing game, but compared to New Leaf it wouldn't even be fun ^^;
I think the only reason people hate City Folk is because it is just like an updated version of WW; better graphics, more events/features, etc. But in all honestly, CF was the better game anyway because it had way more replay value. I think if there was enough technology behind WW in 2005, it may have ended up being more like CF. But...I recommend waiting until Nintendo releases the next full game title. They might not announce a Wii U version at E3 or anytime soon (although deep down I'm really hopeful), but it's worth the wait!

My first Animal Crossing game was Wild World so I have a soft spot for it. It was really fun for what it was but compared to New Leaf, it really lacks things.
The constellations and the dialog are probably the only things I miss from it really. Since you've played New Leaf though, you probably will not like it that much. It's really dated now. ^^;

Oh man, I was SO dissapointed when there were no more constellations in New Leaf! When I got the option to work on Museum renovations, I'd thought I would get the observatory again. Imagine my face when I learned quite the opposite.
While I do have some bias towards WW, being that it was my first AC game, unless you really really want to try it go ahead. Everyone else pretty much said all there is about it.
That's not true. You can press either X or Y to highlight multiple items to sell at once.
