How did you feel when you first recieved Animal Crossing?

[MagicalCat590]

I was super excited because it looked like such a cute, fun game, but I honestly wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do now. I thought I'd just play for a few months and get bored with it like I do with Pokemon or whatever. Nope! I am completely addicted over a year later!

I got my first Animal Crossing for gamecube when I was around 9 or 10. I remember I got it because it looked like a really cute and like a unique game. I absolutely fell in love with the game and the slice-of-life anime feel it had to it. Hearing the music now is so nostalgic for me because of all the good memories . I still have the Gamecube version I bought and took it to college with me. I saved up money to buy a 3DS just for ACNL. I love all the new features and love the game so much! I even have some villagers in my ACNL that were my originals in GC!

I got a used copy of the first AC on the gamecube and I was pretty excited. I think I was even more excited when New Leaf came out because of all the new stuff they added for the game.

When my brother got City Folk a month before New Leaf came out, I was interested, I've heard a lot of good things about the series, but I was mostly on and off about it honestly.

I basically made my own profile, and I was kinda on and off about it throughout the summer. But that changed when my brother got a digital copy of New Leaf literally 3 days before Pokemon X & Y and basically stole my brother's New Leaf town.

And that's how I got into Animal Crossing, the end.

When I first got AC (wild world), I was SUPER amazed 'cause it was one
of my first console games. I played 24/7 and never got bored of it, I loved
all of the villagers (especially the squirrels for some reason, not anymore though).
I would always bug my sister to play with me, and whenever we saw a balloon
we would scream and run towards it. I always felt my heart skip a beat whenever
I saw one (even in New Leaf I get nervous seeing one lol).

I'm getting a second copy of New Leaf tomorrow and I am ECSTATIC. I already have big, big plans for my next town! Which brings me to wondering how you all felt getting your FIRST Animal Crossing game, whether it be New Leaf, City Folk, or Wild World?

Were you guys as excited as I am? >v<

Well... my story's a bit funky.

My Dad, owning the only DS in the house at that time, had a gamecard that allowed you to simply download games, cheat codes included. He had downloaded Wild World to try it, but never got hooked. Seeing it, I asked if I could play it. The answer, was of course, yes.

I started off by deleting my Dad's town, and (Ugh, why am I telling this story?) and created planet Coldasia, known for it's wintery climate caused by time travel. The first character was a boy named Wibamoo. I made a shirt and hat pattern to make him shirtless and bald with horns. ಠ_ಠ
Once my brother and I got our own DSes, I immediately recreated Coldasia, and my brother created a town called Yawn, with his main character being... E3 Yawn. I don't even what

We had fun visiting eachother's towns, and eventually, I made a shirtlessfemale version of Wibamoo. ಠ_ಠ Silly Juvenile unknowingness.
She had a gigantic unicorn horn and wore a diaper. I think her name was Daisy, and she was apparently the younger sister of E3 and Wibamoo. (uh guys you're different species)

Then, ACCF came out, but I didn't have it, and seeing videos of it on youtube, I actually thought it was ACWW. ಠ_ಠ
I saw videos made with hacking, and immediately started using cheats and map editing to enhance my fun.
Oh, I also restarted my town simply because I was a foolish child.
So now, I'm currently Wiki from Wikpedia, in a weed covered town with too many rocks and golden roses growing in the water.
Welp.

Well, I got ACNL when my dog had died, so I wasn't excited. It was more like I needed a distraction with a cute game that didn't have any death in it and everything would be perfect. And I had been looking at ACNL wondering about it for a little while so I wouldn't go out and get another clone of Harvest Moon when I still had goals I wanted to do with HMDS Cute.

It wasn't until playing it for a while that I fell completely in love with it.

 

[Beauchamp]

Excited to have my own town! I love the villagers design and how charming the game is as a whole.

 

[chiminig]

I just bought a Nintendo 3DS XL NES Edition and a copy of Animal Crossing: New Leaf! I'm so happy!

 

[crispmaples]

I was kind of excited getting City Folk- It was the first AC game I played, my boyfriend introduced it to me ( u w u Thank you bby!). I was a bit apprehensive though, because he doesn't seem to understand my taste in games. But it turned out to be fun over all. When New Leaf was announced for the US, I was SO ECSTATIC. And then, for Christmas (Or my birthday, can't remember which) one of my gifts was New Leaf! Since my sister already got me the DS, I was really excited to play it, Especially because I was really drawn to all the new customization. But I never dreamed it would be this much fun and it has become a part of my life now.

I originally bought Animal Crossing: Wild World to compete with my friend, 'cause he was obsessed over it. I wanted to be better at it then him for some reason, so I played for DAYS, non-stop. So, I guess I felt competitive when I bought the game, but quickly loved it.

 

[katsuragi]

my first game was wild world, and i had no idea what is was until i found it on my multi game card. i still remember my first villager i saw being moe but unfortunately i don't really remember what i felt. my dad had put on a ton of random games including acww for me so i guess i have him to thank for my love for animal crossing!

Sorry for your loss. NL helped me cope with a pet's death as well.

 

[Hipster]

very very excited to play it... the cashier asked if i played before and from there I was like heck yeah. animal crossing makes me happy

 

[Coach]

I was really excited to get Wild World, as I was watching some lets plays of animal crossing Gamecube and City Folk.

 

[sakurakiki]

I honestly don't know how to put it as the reason why I got my first Animal Crossing game was because I bought a game & it kept on crashing, so I took it back to the game store & they said that I could choose any other game within the same price range in exchange - so I randomly chose AC:WW as I thought it might be quite fun & I had never heard of it beforehand. I guess you could say I was really excited about trying a new game I had never played/heard of before, but I was also sort of "meh" as well as I wasn't sure if I was actually going to enjoy it. Turns out that I ended up ADORING it. The amount of hours I put into WW was immense, but it was all worth it. ;v;

I preorder the gamecube one after reading good reviews. My young children thought it was stupid until I started playing.
I was hooked and my son changed his mind. We shared the town and than got another memory card so we could each have our own town. Something that I wish Nintendo would do for the 3DS.

I've played all the AC game and ACNL is my favorite and most played. I bought my 3DSXL as soon as ACNL was announced. Check a lot to see if it could be order and did it the moment he said yes. Got it on release day but was too sick to play. Since I could play I spent time looking thru the guide book on starting the game up. Got lucky on my 2nd map and found Miss Lolly and Teddy in my town. Very happy day.

I have my WiiU and if it get's announced I'll be bugging the gaming store until they let me preorder the game.

 

[Mayorofarcadia]

I was sosososo excited to get wild world.
My mother had a car accident that caused her back/neck injury. She had a payout of money and bought me an original DS and wild world. I spent hours playing it :3

 

[Hamphrey]

I was like 6 when I first played the gamecube version on my sister's gamecube, so I didn't think much of it then. I wasn't too much into AC when I picked up WW, but it got my hooked again. I remember being super excited for CF to be released, but I wasn't that excited for NL because it took so long to translate, but the second I started playing it I remembered why I adored the series so much :3
