What was your first Animal Crossing game?

[Nanobyte]

So we have people who have been playing since Population Growing, and we have had people who are new to the series. When did you start playing, and how did you discover the series?

I started with Wild World. Back in the day, my dad had the only DS in the house, and since it had a special game card, it was packed with many different games. We would all take turns with the DS, and he would let me and my brother try all the games. He downloaded AC:WW so that he could try it, and he decided he didn't like it, and my brother never touched it. I asked if I could play it, and he let me. I reset his town (Which wasn't very developed anyways) and made my own characters. I made four of them, and pretended that they were siblings. I was attached to this game. I played it even though City Folk had already released, and I even got a software to hack it. (For fun, kids!)

Game Cube, and also wrong board.

This should go into the General Animal Crossing board or the ACNL board.
But, my first game was City Folk.
Played the Gamecube/N64 one first on an emulator a long time ago.

ACGC. My brother got a GameCube around the time ACGC came out, so he decided to pick it up too.

how did I forget about the AC boards on an AC forum?

(had recently sent a report requesting to be moved to the treehouse)

People tend to forget that it exists half the time.

Gamecube. It was also the first game I ever played, hence why the series holds a special place in my heart. :$

Don't worry, I started with New Leaf too!

I saw the commercial and didn't think much of it, my friend said he had it and said it was really fun. I decided to get it and I love it. My friend doesn't play anymore since he's bored with it lol. He doesn't even have the dream suit yet and he's bored with ti1

I played the GameCube version, then I never played another Animal Crossing game until New Leaf.

 

[Alienfish]

Wild World. I hated it though after a while because I got all the fish and stuff and I could never connect to the internet anyways

 

[ThePayne22]

I first played the GC version, but my first that I owned was Wild World.

 

[ItachiKouyou]

Game Cube ^^ I'm hooked since then and I had every game. =)

 

[nard]

New Leaf.

 

[spCrossing]

You guys should've gotten into the series earlier, honestly.

*Still odd that Wild World is the best selling Animal Crossing game, yet New Leaf is some people's first...huh....

 

[MayorSaki]

New Leaf c: I just bought it for fun, cause it looked cool..

 

[stargurg]

my first was ACGC and i've been hooked ever since then. xD

Animal Crossing: City Folk was my first after debating to buy it for several years, but then Nintendo dropped the price down to $20 in 2011 so I figured it was a great time to buy it and from then on I played the game actively for 2 years. About 2 and a half years later, I happened to go to a Goodwill that recently opened up in my town and went to the electronics section when I stumbled upon a Indigo GameCube. Me being the GameCube fanboy that I am, checked it out to make sure it was in proper order for a future customer before I walked on. I opened the disc cover and to my surprise, I happened to find a copy of an Animal Crossing GCN disc inside in very good working order. I secretly bought the GameCube with the disc inside and it has since became my favorite Animal Crossing game in the series.

Due to eventually buying Animal Crossing: City Folk, it has helped get a little bit of job experience by working at an Animal Crossing wiki for 2 years and I met a few of my closest online friends there. It has also helped me manage my money a bit better in real life and to teach me to cherish friendships while they are still around. Animal Crossing is such a great underrated series and has since became one of my favorite video game series to date.
