How did you find out about AC?

One word: Youtube.

Internet for me.

[LambdaDelta]

I saw Cube Crossing in a store and decided to try it out

 

[Naamah]

My partner got addicted to it, and gifted me a digital version, so now I'm addicted too

 

[daniduckyface]

My friend had it and i got Wild World because of her but i got into New Leaf from a Youtuber and specifically bought my XL for this game

 

[Arcticfox5]

I saw it in the shop and I was looking for a fun new game for my 3DS (finished and played 250 hours on Pokemon X). I remember a friend of mine saying about 6 years ago that she loved the game. I thought it was worth a shot. It was one of the best (and worst, because it is how I procrastinate) decisions in my life so far.

My brother had it.

Same, only I'm using his original town. I wish I restarted when he gave it to me.

 

[CaptainnCrosser]

I used to watch MadameWario and that's when I got Animal Crossing: City Folk. :]

I voted "other." I started with WW back in 2007. I had a Nintendo DS Lite and, of course, I would browse the game selection when I was in a store that sold video games. The cover looked cute and that's what drew me in. There aren't many types of games I enjoy playing, but I figured Animal Crossing was right up my alley. Normally I stick to the classic Mario Bros games and word/puzzle games. No regrets here!

 

[DarkDesertFox]

If I remember correctly.

Back in the ancient time when people had G4 TV and they would play Cinematech and they did a review on animal crossing (for gamecube)

That's what got me into it lmao.

EDIT:
((Not on Cinematech but another show is where they did the review for it))

 

[Icewolf]

I read about it in a magazine the year the GameCube version was released. Ordered it immediately!

 

[Extra]

My first game was newleaf anyways.

 

[Aestivate]

A friend told me about it and we got totally crazy for the date the game would lie in the stores. After that I found out about LinandKo and their letsplays and I even got more excited.

I don't remember how I first heard of the game, or if my parents just bought it for me. I have a feeling I bought it in America (I'm from the UK) when I'd just gotten my DS Lite for Christmas before our holiday there. This was Wild World, back in 2005/2006 when I was around 12/13.

 

[ShinyYoshi]

My parents surprised me and my sister with a GameCube around the time it came out and they had bought us some games for it. Animal Crossing happened to be included and I've owned every NA version since.
