i can't believe it's been 20 years!! my first game was wild world and animal crossing became my favourite game ever since. my favourite memory was how excited i got when booker had free items for me in the lost and found lol! thanks for this exciting giveaway!
I voted for the New Leaf set. I think the Doubutsu no Mori logo is just so universal for the whole series!
My younger brother introduced me to Animal Crossing on GameCube. He wanted someone to play with him and live in his town, so he made a character for me. It was great on the 3DS, because even though we lived across the country, we both had 3DSs and would visit each other's towns frequently. I'm glad New Horizons was really popular, because I visited a lot of casual gamer friends through Animal Crossing that I wouldn't have had a chance to hang out with in real life, both due to the pandemic and just how far away I live from most of my friends. I think because my brother and I had been playing Animal Crossing for so long, however, I was a way more hardcore Animal Crossing player than most of my friends hehe. As hardcore as you can be for a chill game like Animal Crossing, anyway
Here's to another 20 years to come!
This has been the best forum community I have ever been in, and seriously I cannot be more grateful. WW, NL and NH hold some of my favourite memories with villagers and friends, and I can’t wait to see the rest of the series! Good luck to everyone and even 50bells feel like a treat
i remember picking up city folk because i didn't know what game i wanted to play, so i chose animal crossing randomly and i had no idea what it was about
Happy 20th Animal Crossing!
I’ve been playing Animal Crossing since the gamecube game and played every game since except for City Folk. I remember swapping memory cards with people for the original gamecube game and playing their town. Some of my favorite memories are when I used to visit Tortimer island in NL and playing the mini games with friends and hitting each other with the toy hammers! I miss the Cabin island from the gamecube game and always wished we could have a second house to furnish like that in other games.
Writing to your villagers was always fun and doing favors for them. Another favorite animal crossing memory was going to Nintendoworld in NYC with my dad and bro for the NL release party. We waited in the line for I believe over 3 hours and when we finally got into the store they ran out of games. I wasn’t even that upset because being in the line with all the AC fans was such an awesome experience. I can’t believe it’s been 20 years of AC! Def makes me feel old. I’m happy the series is still alive and strong as ever.
