My moms bestfriend had it. She bought it shortly after it came out, and let me play it one day when she was babysitting me and Ive been playing ever since
One of my friends had the first game, and they let me play it. I ended up really liking it, so I asked my mom to get it for me and she did. I've been playing on and off ever since.
My sister picked up Wild World at Wal-Mart and I thought it looked great. Ended up buying my own copy, and here we are now. Jeez, it doesn't feel like 2005 was that long ago...
My brother was obsessing over it when it first came out and always told me about how he was gonna buy animal crossing, which is the "best game ever" according to him. I honestly didn't care about anything he said about animal crossing bc I didn't know what it was, it seemed stupid and I was already attached to Pokemon..and he's a lot younger than me so I couldn't care less. Once he actually bought it..haha I ended up buying my own copy and obsessing over it as well ._. it's been two years and I still do
I got Wild World for Christmas one year. My friend also got it, and it turns out our parents had decided to buy it for both of us so we'd have a way to connect and play together when we weren't actually together. It never really worked out though since the DS internet connection was always really crappy, and the Friend Code system was complicated for a child to figure out.
I believe I heard of it on the internet before New Leaf was released. In fact, it made me get another 3DS just so I could play Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
I found trophies of Tom Nook, K.K. (He was called Tokatake in that game), and Mr. Resetti in Melee, I was curious to know what game these guys were from...too bad I never found out the name for this game until freaking Brawl came out.
Though my interest did peak during the long hype for New Leaf, and I did manage to play ACGC via emulator a long time ago, but I officially begun with City Folk......a month before New Leaf came out....and then I played ACNL in October of 2013 (the week release of Pokemon X & Y) and became the stupid stupid fan that I am today.
I was 5 and at my babysitters house (across the street from my own lol) and they needed to occupy me so they set me in front of the gamecube and asked which game I wanted to play. When they said "animal crossing" I thought it was going to be like frogger lol.
But they made me a character and gave me a house in their town and it instantly became my favourite thing.
I distinctly remember one of them having the lovely set in their upstairs room and ever since then I've had a lovely set in one of the upstairs rooms in every town I've had.
I was at a friends house and they let me play their video games. Whatever AC which was on the Gamecube at the time (Don't remember - I just remember I didn't understand why the animals were crossing.) I hated the game because the villagers were rude to me, since I was like 4 years old I didn't like it ;;
A year or two ago, a friend on another website persuaded me to get the game, so I ended up buying it with a coupon. ^^
I love animals and i loved my nintendo ds... so i asked for animal crossing wildworld when i was younger for my birthday. Am 20 years old now and still hooked
I was really little and my godfather gave me his copy of the GC version because his son didn't want it anymore. I played all the time, and have owned every game in the series since!
