Do you feel nostalgic when playing old Animal Crossing games?

[Peapod]

God yes, incredibly so. The gamecube one was my first game, and even though it has the least to do out of all the games it will always hold a special place in my heart. I think in a way, the fact there was less to do made it more endearing- you had more of an incentive to spend time with your villagers and actually send letters to them. Maybe it's just me, but I tend to neglect sending my villagers letters in the newer games.

Also I kind of liked that the animals were more... fiesty? Lmao some of them could be pretty rude at times. Rover seems to have mellowed out a LOT over the years.

I think the biggest difference for me, and the thing that makes me most nostalgic about the GC AC, is the music. Dunno what it is, but I personally think the music in the newer games is just very bland and generic. GC version was very distinctive to me. :3

Since when was Rover rude towards the player in the older games? In the N64 and GCN games, he only laughs because he hasn't heard of the player's name before and after that he will be very friendly towards the player (unless the player acts rude towards him which will annoy him). In Wild World, he will appear in the Roost and will share stories about how he used to ride the rails a lot and he is still very friendly. In City Folk/Let's Go to the City, he is even more friendly and now loads up the game and he is always excited to see the player. In New Leaf, they sadly made him a VERY minor character just like in the original game but even more minor as he only appears when you start a new save file (since travelling to another town doesn't have a train ride with Rover). Despite that, he is yet again even more friendly, calling the player cool and saying that their name is great (and also references the release date of the USA Animal Crossing: references to other Animal Crossing games and even the movie needs to be more of a thing in later games). Maybe I'm just typing this because I'm a fan of Rover as he is one of my favourite characters (I love his design especially).

OK, I must admit. The saving theme from the N64 and GCN games is very nostalgic to me. I still remember who saved my game for the very first time: it was Mitzi. I'm kinda sad that the later games didn't have the same saving screen.

Extremely, especially Wild World

OH my goodness, yes most definitely!!! I remember finding an old memory card. I popped it in and there was my town from when I was like 7; Xmastown or something along those lines. The date in the game happened to be around Christmas, too. It was great!

I definitely do! O the memories

Oh my gosh... YES!
One of the things that really gets to me is listening to the ACG hourly music in the background while doing homework & etc.
Sometimes it even makes me tear up... all except the meow one between 12-2 (I don't remember the exact hour) that one makes me laugh!

The one with the cat meows was 1PM. Also, gotta love how everyone back in the day spammed some forums saying that there was cat meowing and they couldn't find it as well as people saying that you could get a pet cat but you actually can't because the meow sound is just a part of the song. lol

Most of us share the same thing which is music, it's so powerful in the older animal crossing games!
