When I bought my DS in 2005, my mom said she would buy me a game, too. And so I chose Animal Crossing: Wild World, because I love animals and the cover looked really cute.
My sister's friend got a gamecube for Christmas, and she brought it over to our house when she slept over the next day. One of the games she got with her machine was Animal Crossing. My sister and I both fell in love with it.
A couple months later, my mom got my dad a gamecube for his birthday. My sister and I begged my Mom to get Animal crossing with it. We each got our own Memory cards, and it was love at first site.

The year was 2005. The DS was a big hit at my middle school. A close friend of mine was talking about his virtual town called Boston and the game he was describing sounded really cool. Found out it was Wild World. Now I had heard of Animal Crossing before because my sister got it for her gamecube a while back. (I never really got into that game though) So I ordered it off amazon or some online store. (I forget) I knew it was coming on a certain day and I was eagerly waiting for it to show up on my door step. I remember it was raining that day and my mom got home early and took the package inside so the game wouldnt get damaged in the rain. Played it all night. One of the most memorable moments in my gaming life.

I actually have a rather funny story to tell...
Back when I was seven or so, I saw an advertise for the new Harvest Moon Game.
I didn't know much about it, only that it had to do with animals and that I found it very cute. So I took all the money I could afford, asked my parents to bring me to the next toy store & came back with a Gamecube-game named "Animal Crossing". I wasn't able to understand English back then, I only saw the boxart with all the animals and the meadow on it... and thought I got the right game.
I played this AC for ages, really. I haven't even noticed that it was not Harvest Moon and had nothing to do with farming at all. When I found out about my huge mistake, it was kinda weird, but I was ok with it. My mistake brought me my favourite game of all times.
By the way: I got my first "real" Harvest Moon a couple of days ago, finally. It is a good game, though it can't catch up with AC, of course.

The Japanese-only version, Animal Forest for the N64, was briefly mentioned in an Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine. And not too long after, I find out it was going to get updated for the GameCube and released in the US. Then, when Nintendo Power had a big article about it, my brother and I were sold on getting the game. Later that Christmas and well...you can guess what happened.
Your description was very 1960's noir sounding.

My sister didn't play on some of her games anymore so she gave me them and one of them was Animal crossing: Wild world and then i found out one of my best friends also had it. Then i found gamecube population growing somewhere in the house so now i play that as well.
