Best to Worst Animal Crossing Game

1. New Leaf: Several things happened in this game that just needed to happen. Multiple museum donations at once, more types of patterns, and being able to wear dresses or a shirt/skirt combo. Also being able to pick shoes and socks instead of it being random. It's a lot more customizable. Not a fan of the grasswear though.

2. Wild World: My first AC game. Graphics are pretty terrible and while the constellation system was great, I had to keep deleting bad ones I was getting from wifi. Also the risk of seeding made wifi connecting very stressful. Still a great game though and the villager pictures really made it special.

3. Animal Crossing: Population growing: I got this one for Christmas a year after getting the DS version. I never really got into it. I didn't like the way you could only save by your house, but the large towns were cool and the fountain was very pretty!!

4. City folk: Grass wear and terrible controls ruined this game for me from the start. Making money is extremely hard. I play this game with kids I babysit so maybe I'm biased, but they only get to play 30 minutes a day and that's barely enough for them to check on stores and go to the city. The city feels almost optional because it's such a hassle for me to get there and back. Arranging furniture is a nightmare because of the controls.
 
1) Animal Crossing New Leaf: Do i even have to say it?

2) Animal Crossing (Game Cube): The first Animal Crossing i ever played and i still enjoy it as much as i did back then.

3) Animal Crossing City Folk / Let?s Go to the City: I know a lot of people hate this game for being a copy paste of Wild World, but the reason i liked it was because of the FEW new features they added in.

4) Animal Crossing Wild World: I have barely played this version, it isn?t my favorite but is a very decent game.

I really love the Animal Crossing Series, it is definitely my favorite "Real Life" Simulator. Now if you excuse me, i?ll get my butt back with my N3DS.
 
New Leaf
Gamecube
City Folk

I haven't played Wild World yet but it'd probably be above City Folk cause I always hear that the two are very similar and I think I like AC more playing handheld.
 
1. New Leaf
2. GC
3. Wild World
4. City folk [very similar to Wild World + wii controls feel weird for AC]
 
I've only played New Leaf, Wild World and City Folk.

I love New Leaf the best. There's honestly NO reason to explain myself.

I LOVED Wild World so much years back! I spent hours and hours on end with it and even when it got stolen, bought it again! However, it's truly aged and you won't notice until you play New Leaf. Once you play New Leaf it's REALLY hard to come back to Wild World which saddens me because it was my favourite game.

I rarely played City Folk because the controls and the fact that it wasn't mobile.

I haven't played the one for GameCube but judging from the stuff I've heard and seen about it it would definitely beat city folk.
 
1) population: growing: i have been playing so much for the past couple months
2)city folk/lets go to the city: i like the city consept
3)wild world: its like city folk but no city
4) new leaf: i never got into it is much as the others and EVERY THING CHANGED!!!!
 
1:New leaf. Maybe it is just because it is the most recent, but I am in love with new leaf. So much good stuff in it, like the QR machine, and the diving suit (despite it's limited utility, PWPs and characters like Isabelle.
2:City Folk: I felt like I was playing the old Animal Crossing again, but it had much more to do now. I felt that the credit card was a neat little addition, and it was something they should have had in New Leaf.
3: Animal Crossing: By no means a bad game, I loved this one back in the day, but it is really dated now, and the recent games makes you realize how little there can be to do in this game.
4: wild world: I personally really disliked wild world. I don't even know what it is, specifically about wild world. To me it just had this almost gloomy feel to it.

I'm only counting the ones i've played, City Folk was terrible I like AC on the handheld rather than on a console. I've heard nothing but good things about the gamecube Animal Crossing though.
 
new leaf, wii, gamecube, ww i think ww was weird and didnt look good and the d pad was hard to control things and the stylus wasnt any good for helping either but nl is better

New Leaf-no explanation needed
City Folk-1st wii game and I LOVED it so much I played the game for 24 hours straight.
Animal Crossing-played it once and it was a lot of fun and had a great feel.
Wild World- Bad graphics and sucky everything. I own it and cant even play it anymore
 
Gahh this is hard. See, New Leaf is great, but I really love Population: Growing! and Wild World. Wild World was my first AC game and it holds a special place in my heart.

1. PG
2. NL
3. WW
4. CF

Never really liked CF.
 
  1. Animal Crossing: Population Growing
  2. Animal Crossing: City Folk
  3. *Animal Crossing: New Leaf
  4. Animal Crossing: Wild World

*Animal Crossing: New Leaf is at 3rd mainly due to the random villager placement, which was never a problem in past games as a signpost would mark where a villager would move possibly. This could have been added into New Leaf at no expense, it's just sad because I have fell victim to random villager placements in bad spots over 8 times now and now have decided to not play my town and make improvements to it because of this.
 
1.Wild World (technically the weakest of the series, but the one I spent the most time with)

2.New Leaf (has by far the most content, I was struggling to decide wherever I liked this more than WW or not)

3.Population Growing (playing this again actually surprises me how the series ended up, it's a lot more arcade like than the newer games.


4. City Folk (I spent a lot of time with this game, it was fun, it was Animal Crossing, but the problem was, it just didn't do much to make it worth playing over Wild World, in fact, it's not much more than a port with a few added bells and whistles.
It felt like playing a handheld game on a TV, which is too much effort for what the game was...
When Animal Crossing makes it's way to the Wii U, I really hope Nintendo take advantage of the fact that it's on a console, not just NL in HD...
 
Gotta LOVE the fact that on the title screen of ANIMAL CROSSING on the GameCube there is no subtitle like there is on Wild World, City Folk and New Leaf, yet numerous people keep calling it Population:Growing, the slogan used to promote the game by Nintendo of America in 2002 since it was a Japanese game aimed at an American audience. Also have to love City Folk being called a Wild World port given how Wild World had no Kapp'n in the town to take you anywhere after you begin- ie no island or city to have him literally take you to, there are no real holidays in Wild World, unlike the original and City Folk, and Wild World has a totally flat terrain, unlike City Folk and the original who have cliffs- get the point, City Folk is a hybrid of Wild World and Animal Crossing, since it has too many features added to it from the original to call it a Wild World only port. It's a good 70% Wild World, 20% original and 10% new content (Phineas, Kicks, Gracie Grace store, etc). Now, that said, my favorites are in order of favorite to least:
New Leaf
Wild World
doubutsu no mori (original Japanese Nintendo 64 game that started it all)
Animal Crossing
City Folk- should really call it doubutsu no Crossing: Let's go to the Wild City, given how it's a rehash of previous games.
 
1. Animal Crossing City Folk, Even though I generally don't like console AC games AC CF was an amazing game which had me glued to the TV for hours on rainy and sunny days alike. I had all of my favorite villagers, and it was my seccond life.

2. New Leaf, The best content wise also my current seccond life! With additions such as being the mayor adding a more customisable experience it made the game a almost sandbox. Also it demonstrates how perfect AC can be on a Handheld. Also best hourly themes!

3. Animal Crossing(GC/N64), Not my favorite, but still the game that started it all is still worth a play for all of its events.

4. Wild World, Never played so no opinion.
 
1. New Leaf
2. Wild World - so many memories!
3. Gamecube
4. City Folk
