Does anyone still play?

I play every once in a blue moon to check up on my main man Poncho ^.^ I've had him in WW for prob over 5 years now and I also have him in my NL town :] <3
 
I play NL daily, WW occasionally, and CF NEVER.
Ive restarted my WW (many many reasons why i did it) and Ive gotten Vesta, Robin, and Stitches (which are my favorite villagers)
I still play it because there are so many great things on there thats not on New Leaf. Also its the only AC game I own that I can actually read fast enough (because its in english)
 
I still play wild world. I mean not like how I play new leaf, but I play it.
I have Nookway and that's what I'm stuck with forever, since wifi shut down.
My house is expanded to both downstairs and upstairs.
 
I still play every day! I mean, New Leaf is top priority, but I try to find time for both.
 
I actually picked up my WW town yesterday for old times sake, and I had a blast. It's not as exciting anymore because I done everything there is to be done, but I don't have the heart to reset. I still love my villagers- Goldie, Punchy, Static, Rocco, Agent S, and Walker. The music and atmosphere is so much more nostalgic to me and country feeling than in New Leaf. It took me back to when I was kid, and I'd hide under the cover and play really late at night.
 
I picked up ACWW for the first time in a few years just the other day. It just didn't feel.. right.
It's a shame because I dedicated so many hours to that game and have some pretty cool villagers. I've just done everything there is to do (all upgrades, caught everything etc.).
 
I can't remember where I ever got up to in Wild World in my last playthrough, one either game. I had two DSes so I bought another copy for when I had things like Katie in my town since I couldn't use the internet to connect to back then. I remember having tons of items strewn outside my house. I'm getting the urge to fire it up again now but I'm willing to bet it pales in comparison to New Leaf and that it won't be as good as I remember it. Catching all those Tuna for the bells in winter. Good times, good times.
 
I remember picking it back up back in May since after City Folk came out. It felt nostalgic because it was my first AC game, my first town, and all of my old favorite villagers were there. It just didn't feel the same though, and I haven't played it again since.

I recently bought this game from Amazon, and I'm enjoying it quite a bit! I know I'm a good ten years late and that the fandom is essentially dead (especially with Nintendo cutting off WFC), but I'm still having a bit of fun with it. :) The graphics hurt my eyes quite a bit though, and I can't choose between playing it with the 3DS XL's full screen, or setting it to it's original resolution. I prefer the former a bit more cuz less ugly black bars, but eh.

I have to wonder though if I'll get attached to this game and the villagers in it like I did in New Leaf. I just get this slight feeling that I, well, won't.
 
The last time I played on it was a few weeks ago. I need to start playing it again... I don't have any of the upgrades or anything because it's a new town.
 
I just got this game and am having fun so far. I notice on ebay that the game goes pretty fast so I imagine that their are quite a few individuals playing but we just cannot play together because of the DS wifi being shut down.
 
I play everyday.

As of May 20 2014, the official Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection servers are shut down indefinitely, so nobody can play online unless they go through many hoops with third party software and devices.


Although being a good game on its own, Animal Crossing: Wild World has pretty much long past their prime time for me, especially when New Leaf came out in Japan.
It has some genuinely well-written dialogues (albeit still repeating after a while), introduced the concept of multiplayer and online interactions with other players, broadened the customization aspect that the future installments would improve upon and had the advantage of being on a portable system as opposed to always being tethered at home. However, the limitations of Nintendo DS at the time of release and the decision to streamline the localization process prevented from fully reaching its maximum potential. The content also feels more on the anorexic side when compared to the GCN installment and doesn't even compare to New Leaf.

The last time I played was sometimes in the early months of 2015 just for giggles, but there's really nothing that makes me compelled to go back playing for even longer. Not even nostalgia and restarting my town would save my interest on the game for that matter. Aside of being nitpicky, you'd be hard-pressed to have a daily fix of Wild World after seeing how far New Leaf is superior in almost every way, even going as far as being one of the must-own games for the 3DS system.

I don't want to sound overly negative, but as far as I know, Animal Crossing: Wild World was a great game to have back in its era, but the franchise's incremental nature of adding new features and stuff made this one far unanimously outclassed by New Leaf, the latter of which might suffer the same fate whenever a new installment comes out.
