What was your first Animal Crossing game?
- Thread starter Nanobyte
- Start date
I played AC for the first time at my cousin's. They had so many consoles, including a GC, that I assume now it was Japanese, since they had DnMe+. I remember playing it a lot during a summer vacation but never though about the game too much (it was in Japanese and I couldn't understand anything so lol didn't even know there was a US version)
My actual first game was Wild World. It has a fun history attached to it!
My dad travelled to Chicago and brought a few games for me (I'm from Brazil). I told him a few names, but wasn't expecting much, he was going there to a convention and stuff and I assumed he wouldn't have the time to buy stuff.
However, he did buy them!!!
He got every game in the list wrong haha, getting similar titles in all of them. I think he mistook ACWW for Harvest Moon. He was very apprehensive when giving me the games, asking if he got them right, I never told him the truth, because it was so sweet of him to actually go there and buy them for me, I wouldn't be a spoiled lil brat and say "yeah you got them all wrong"

after that I fell in love with AC, bought the GC version for my Wii, bought City Folk as soon as it was released, and am now happily with NL! I really want to find a jp!GC and DnMe+ to play again one day.

I'm yet another Animal Crossing veteran coming in this thread, since I actually played the original Animal Crossing on GameCube back in late 2003. I started playing around the time Explorer's Day was being celebrated and had no clue that Tortimer would give me an exclusive item. One year after playing it, it ended up being too boring to me and I ended up selling it. Then, Animal Crossing: Wild World came to me in February 2006 and this is where the franchise ultimately became more interesting despite being a contested sequel. The online multiplayer component was pretty much the most essential feature and is staying in the franchise since then. If it wasn't for that feature, then I wouldn't come back to the franchise.

I started with Animal Crossing when it came out for the Gamecube.
I still remember how it was the coolest thing ever, lol. I still have it,
but New Leaf is my current obsession. (I have all AC games) The one
I have played least was CF because I recently got it and well nintendo
doesn't do wi-fi support for it anymore (despite it being the only AC for wii).

My first was Wild World, because it was easily accessible to me at the time. Now that I've played New Leaf I don't think I can go back, even for nostalgia purposes. I played the Gamecube version after New Leaf, and I didn't really get into it that much.
Still haven't played City Folk to this day.

I started out with the GameCube game. It was kind of viewed as a collection of NES games at the time, and that's what first caught my attention. But the main game sounded fun too, and I ended up liking it even more than I expected.
Wow, people actually viewed it as an NES collection?
There's so much more content in Animal Crossing besides those!
Well maybe not exclusively, but I think the NES games were a big part in getting people to try out the game in the first place. IGN described Animal Crossing as "an NES game compilation and an addictive life sim a la Harvest Moon to boot." (link) Honestly, I might not have tried out Animal Crossing myself if not for the NES games.

ACGC. i was like 5 and didn't know how to read well. my first game ever!!! i just loved all the animals and doing favors for them. my 7 year old brother got all the gamecube games (he had a great taste) and i became obsessed. my name was M and our town was Jail. he would make me pick all the weeds in order to play ;;
ohhhh wild world was great. i saved up my money and bought it myself. i loved it so much, and recommended it to my best friend, and we would spend hours playing nonstop. i was always jealous because she could make her house look so pretty.

I first played Wild World. This thread would be more appropriate if there was a poll.

I've been playing since Population Growing too, around the time it was released. I remember renting it from Blockbuster all those years ago and not sure if I'd even like the game, but I fell in love with it. Bought it the week after.

My first AC was the original Animal Crossing game for the gamecube. I discovered it at my Grandma's house, it was my older cousin's game and I made a save on there and immediately was so enticed and addicted by the innocent, adorable gameplay. That was back in 2001. In 2002, I got my own gamecube, bought my own game, and it's been that way ever since! I have every other AC game for every other console, NL being the current favorite. ;3
