What is your Animal Crossing History?

[Senor Mexicano]

Started with the first NA AC on the GCN. Got it from a friend, and I loved the game! I played it everyday for months! I loved the way it was styled and the artwork too. The music was another aspect i liked.

A few years later, the same friend gave me AC: City Folk when were playing some game where we roll a dice and if it got the number we said, we would one something, except it was all my friend's things... I enjoyed the game, but it wasn't as good as the original.

One or Two years later, i pre-ordered New Leaf. I got it on Day One and i loved it as well! New Leaf and Population Growing are my favorite games in the series. To this day, i still play it a lot, not as much as I used too, but a lot!

I had AC for the gamecube when I was 12 and I really enjoyed it. My sister had Wild World and City Folk so sometimes I would borrow her copy but I wasn't as into it as I was with the gamecube version. Then when I heard about New Leaf and the new changes it made I really wanted to check it out. I was not disappointed! It's like playing Animal Crossing all those years ago. :')

Animal crossing was one of my first games. When I was little, I wanted to play video games and begged my family to buy me a playstation. But they were costly and brand new at the time, so they bought me a gamecube. I was disappointed, but I gave it a try. My first games were mario kart which came with it, and then super smash bros and sonic, then animal crossing. when I first played, I didn't have a memory card so I had to start over, and I played it every morning when I woke up. It was funner then, than now, because I had imagination and I always made up stories in my head. Now I can't do that, being 17 and all it's hard.

So yeah, I remember hating Resetti and I couldn't spell so when he'd ask me to type out exactly what he said I'd get so upset and get my grandparents to help me, but we failed always, so I just reset until he didn't tell me to repeat what he said anymore. Then my boyfriend at the time gave me his ds, so I bought wild world and hated it. I just don't like it. The graphics bother me so much. There are so many things I just dislike about that game in general!

So when New leaf was coming out, I found out about it by tumblr and I was hype with the fandom all the way till release, and obsessed over it then too, even though I didn't have a 3ds. Then my friend bought me one and New leaf ensued! I love it so much!

I really wouldn't mind City Folk though since I have yet to play that one..

Once upon I time I was probably around 7 or 8 when I rented the original Animal Crossing for the GameCube. My brother warned me not to rent it because it's not a game that you can be content with playing for a week and then returning it. I did it anyway. I played it for about a week and returned it. I enjoyed it but I wasn't heartbroken since I didn't really understand too much of what I was doing in the game.
When I was about 8 or 9 I got my first DS for my birthday. Upon receiving it I decided that I would rather look at my Pokemon Dash gamecase instead of the actual console itself, so I bumped it off the table and it got a huge scratch on it the front of it on my tile floor.... A couple of months later I went shopping for a new video game with my mom and brother and saw Animal Crossing. I selected it, we bought it, and I took it home. I fell in love instantly. I played it for hours on end that summer and whenever I would get home from school I would play it. I really really loved Drake the lazy duck. He was my bae. i've had multiple times throughout the 9 years I've been playing this game, and I'm just as heartbroken each time I accidentally TT him out of town. I have him in my town right now and I am guarding this duck with everything that I've got.
