I actually just accidentally restarted my town. I had a quite profitable one on my WiiU and I popped it into the regular Wii and it ended up resetting...
On a side note, I kinda like City Folk much more. My entry to the series was Wild World, but City Folk came out at a time I was able to understand video games much more other than mashing buttons on my relative’s ds. I loved going to the city and seeing all the different villagers. I’ve never had him to date, but back then, Ed was a jock, and he was my favorite. I was sad they switched him to smug when the personality was introduced.
it’s fun to go back to a previous game, you always get such a nostalgia rush, lol.
Unfortunately the price of a used copy keeps increasing, Amazon says $40 but you can probably get a cheaper copy from a game website. It really stinks because it was like $20 a year ago.
I hope you can find your copy!
