First AC game you played?

[Stargirl]

What was the first Animal Crossing game you ever played?
Mine was City Folk. I got it for Christmas back in 2008.

Note: I know that I forgot "Animal Forest". If that was the first one you played, then just don't vote on the poll and post instead.

Mine was also City Folk in Christmas of 2008.

I first played Population Growing the day it was released after eagerly awaiting it for three months. xD It was the first game I ever learned about before release and I was soooooo excited to play it. Those three months felt like three years. It was also the first game I ever bought with my own money.

GameCube was my first.

 

[Pudge]

Wild World was my first, summer of 2006.

Then I got the Gamecube one, and then City Folk.

And soon, New Leaf.

 

[StiX]

Wild World ^^ then Gamecube and Wii.

AC for GameCube. But you made two mistakes with the poll by the way, lol. 1) You forgot the first game, which is Animal Forest (with no +). And it's called just "Animal Crossing", not "Animal Crossing: Population Growing".

Wild World for me. I think I bought it at the store I currently work at...

 

[broadwaythecat]

Wild World. I wonder why they called it "Wild World" if the town was so friggen tiny.

It was the GameCube AC, sometime in 2003-2007. I can't remember. But those were good times... Plus, the island was awesome. Gotta love the GBA Link Cable!

Gamecube. Honestly, other than the improved number of fish and bugs, I prefer the GC game over City Folk and Wild World.

City Folk still just feels like a WW port to me. I was hoping for great things but it didn't capture the magic of the original GC game as a console AC game.

WW was still pretty awesome, and I had a few friends to play with when it came out, too. I enjoyed the heck out of that game, but I still prefer the GC one.

Hoping New Leaf shatters that.

Wild world for know and I bought Let's go to the city then to buy Population Croissante (Gc )

Wild World was my first, sometime around '08-'09.

Ah, the memories.

 

[Dustbunnii]

My first was the gamecube version, Population: Growing.
I don't know how soon I got it after it was released. I don't even remember how old I was.
All I know is that my friend introduced me to it by having me make a character and select the most negative answers possible in order to anger Rover, Nook, and my neighbors. It was all quite amusing. I've been hooked on the series ever since.

I probably got it within the same year that it released if I had to guess... so I was about 9 or 10 most likely.

Gamecube.

 

[Lampokos]

My first was the one for the Gamecube.

I hated that stupid viking hat.

 

[TheObscure]

I first played the Gamecube Animal Crossing, but I only really ever played the NES games you could buy in it.

 

[BlooShroom]

Mine was Wild World Never got a chance to play Wii or GC though, so I'm really excited for a fresh experience!

 

[Jinglefruit]

I started off on the Gamecube. The day it was released in the UK, after hearing all about it online far too long before it released.
I've had WW and CF since.

And fun fact, the first town I've made for each version (though I didn't keep my first CF town) had Bill as a villager. NL better not break this trend!

Gamecube, and it's still my favorite. It just has a special feeling that I haven't experienced with the other games (even though I've enjoyed them too).

I was pretty young when it came out, and I still can't remember how I got it. Did I ask my parents? I think I got it around my birthday, but it's hard for me to remember. It doesn't help that I have a December birthday, so all the holidays then sort of blur together. Oh well. Animal Crossing entered my life mysteriously and wonderfully and hasn't left since.
