How do I....

If he doesn't want to play, don't make him play. Not every one likes Animal Crossing and that's ok. Please don't trick or pressure him to play. If you do then he'll probably do the same to you when he wants you to try something that he's into, but you're not. Just let him watch you play sometime and if he feels like picking it up he will. Good luck i hope everything goes well :) I also want to add that you shouldn't break up with him over something so small. I have no idea how old you are or how serious you are with him, but breaking up with him over this would be extremely immature. I'm sorry that he ran over your hybrids i was mad when my boyfriend did that too. I had been playing animal crossing for years before i met my current boyfriend and i wanted him to play wild world with him too, but he wasn't into it so i just let it go. After a long time of seeing how passionate i am about the game, he asked me to play. I told him the basic and to never run. He enjoyed it and then bought it for himself. He got sooo hooked on it that he bought new leaf for both of us and now we play all the time. Mabe your bf will someday get really curious about it on his own . Give it time and don't be frustrated if he doesn't want to play. If you get frustrated and pushy about the subject he will ignore you. I've also had bfs who straight out don't like Animal Crossing and won't approach it because it seems too feminine for them, i don't know what your boyfriend is like but if he's really stubborn he will never get into the game and you have to either accept him the way he is or always be sour about the subject.

Ok despite the first post cracking me up:

Let him try it on his own. You can't force him to play something if he's not into it. Keep planting the seeds in his head and reminding him you enjoy it, but don't force it on him.

But if you absolutely MUST...maybe offer to give something he likes a chance. See if you can make a compromise and explore each others' interests a little.

But if he won't do it you really can't force it.
 
Tell him to stop restricting himself to arbitrary gender roles that mean nothing and cut him off from what is a really, really good time. If that doesn't work, well, he's going to have different tastes from you, and that's okay. You can't force him into anything; he'll do what he wants. Being in a relationship doesn't make either of you superior in terms of taste. In the same vein that I despise FPS, for example, he is perfectly allowed to not care for ACNL.
 
I saw an amazing cartoon a couple of years ago with a giant, muscled guy on a DS. Another guy walks up and teases him for playing AC because it's "for 6-year-old-girls" and the last panel is big guy still calmly playing with the jerk in a headlock under his arm. <3

Sadly it's disappeared into the ether, but I did find this old chestnut:

I asked my boyfriend to make a character for patterns but he actually liked it so much he's now thinking about buying his own 3ds with animal crossing :) You can also give him te game as a present, he can't refuse that! Lol

Hes wrong but you shouldn't force him to if he doesn't want to. When possible, mention ACNL and maybe you might discuss it
 
Congratz to ur bf!! he has seen the light!

Oh btw tell him they sell samurai hats if he doesn't know yet ==" That's the only reason why my bro asked to create a character in my town. For the cool hats. That's all he does. Picks up seashells, sells them then go to Able Sisters to see what cool hats they are. Right now he's in to the fencing helmet IDK man maybe my bro's weird.
