Wild world vs. New leaf

Aside from the watered down personalities, I really miss the constellations and two certain events that I remember clearly:
1. Where you can go to villagers' houses and buy their furniture from them and vice versa
2. That contest on who had the best garden in town (but me being a little cheater, I just stole all my villagers' flowers and planted it around my house)
and I really loved the soundtrack for ww especially when they flash the title before you load up your file.

ACNL has definitely made a lot of improvements that's already been stated such as the graphics, pwps, etc. but they should really bring back the ability to still talk your villager out even if they're in boxes.

Okay, this guy wasn't in ACWW but they should really bring wisp back in the next AC game instead of us just seeing an alien on tv.

Omg! I completely forgot about the constellations, soundtrack, and Gulliver when he was an Alien! This was also some of my favorite things in acww.
 
I just reset my wild world town yesterday and started a new town today after looking at this thread, I play new leaf mostly but am thinking of getting back into wild world.
 
both games are great, but i think new leaf is more exciting with the pwps and everything
i thing i hated most about ww, was lyle ahha
 
the only thing thats sucks is i cant get nookingtons now, my friend no longer plays wild world, and wifi was shut down. well I suppose its more of an inconvenience than anything.
 
Personally, for me, each both hold a great deal in my heart. One is of the past, the other, the future. Each both represent a time in which memories will be made for the long term. The amount of hours played with my sister in ACWW holds dear to me beyond what words can say. Although I respect and adore ACWW, being that it was one of the most well spent time I ever had playing a video game in nostalgia's essence, I can easily say that I greatly adore ACNL for the here and now. Each have their own "top of the line" elements to it. Back in the day, Wild World introduced us to a whole new caf?, new neighbors and characters, online wifi, tanning, creating your own designs on clothing and much more. Now, ACNL has done that, but with much more, adding onto what ACWW previously had, making the game a whole new experience for players, while simulatnously remaining nostalgic and familiar at the same time.

In my own personal opinion, I guess you just simply cannot compare the two, as each have their own unique "flare" to the their each respected individual games. I love both games dearly, and even though I have moved on from ACWW, the memories of that game will always remain, just as ACNL will eventually be as well.
