How did you find out about Animal Crossing?

[Captain Crazy Chicken]

Actually, I don't remember.

I slightly don't remember, but I'm pretty sure that we were at EBGames and we noticed Animal Crossing, looked at the back, and decided to buy it at a whim. That was Animal Crossing City Folk. We started to play and then when New Leaf came out I got it as well. We found that both games were really good and so I keep playing the games often.

My friend had Wild World when we were younger, and after watching her play it I wanted it for myself. I heard about New Leaf from Tumblr.

You guys DO realize someone posted a message after 2 years.... Outdated... But anyway, I first played Animal Crossing City Folk My sister told me about it and it was an amazing community. I later learned about the belltreeforums later, I was on ACC (Animal Crossing Community) having fun, and when I got new leaf, I found these forums. I plan on sticking here for ever when I am playing Animal Crossing, this is an amazing game that anyone casual can enjoy, or someone that isn't.

My brother owned a GameCube (It's mine now!) and we bought Animal Crossing with it. Him, his friends and I always played on that town. What I remember most about this game was how I was jealous at my brother for having a big rocket ship in his house, so I would always try to steal it so I could have it.

I found out about it because my sister got the game before I did, and she totally loved it! She bugged me for the longest time to get the game, and I finally did as a birthday present for myself. I pretty much instantly fell in love with it, and the rest was history!

My brother told me about it, he said I'd like it. This was back before the GC version was released.

My friend's mom got me into it.

I saw my sister playing for two years
and now after my recent hospital visit she offered to give me her 3ds and the game
I'm gonna be starting the game today, so hopeful that it will help me spend good times in my forced bedrest

One year for Christmas we got the Nintendo Gamecube and Animal Crossing (I think it was 2002 or 2003). Been hooked ever since.

A guy from the game store suggested it to my husband.

My childhood friends had a gamecube and would often play AC when I slept over. I never understood it until I saw it was coming out for DS. Whole reason I bought a DS. I played that up until I was able to get a 3DS the following month that New leaf was released. Now I have a 3DS, a 2DS and run 3 towns

 

[P.K.]

My relatives from America gave my family and I a gift for us kids which was a Gamecube and some games for it like Crash Bandicoot, Mario Party and yes, Animal Crossing.

 

[kirstyx]

my brother showed me an ad for it, and straight away told me i'd love it. he bought me DS for my birthday when i was a kid, which came with Wild World, i then bought City Folk for my Wii, and now i'm completely hooked!! bought myself a 3DS just so i could play the New Leaf, haha

I didn't really find out about AC on my own. When I was little, my mom just bought it one day and I've loved it ever since.

I have literally no idea. I was really young and i think i heard someone on the internet mention it somewhere along my travels. When christmas time rolled around I had nothing I wanted, knew nothing at all about the game, but said "I want animal crossing gamecube" and I got that (amongst other random things) And fell in love with the franchise immediately lol

EDIT: Before i bought it i thought it was literally helping animals cross a river like frogger and had something to do with adding and counting. When I got it i was thrilled and it even made me want to become an interior designer when i was little

I found out about the game while watching tv back when the first game was being advertised.

 

[SRS]

Well I was first aware of it because there was a Cracked article about it. I started playing it because my boyfriend played the GameCube one way back in the day and thought it would be fun to get the new one and share a town together. He was right.

Played the GameCube version during recess in 8th grade with my classmates. My teacher was into video games so he would bring in his collection so we could play. Instead of a classroom pet we had a classroom town lolz I remember we had a strategy guide to keep track of what got obtained. That was definitely a fun year.
