I started playing Animal Crossing when I was in elementary school. It was 2002-ish, and I begged my parents to buy me a copy of Animal Crossing for Gamecube when we were out shopping. My mom caved for some reason, and I've been playing on and off throughout the years since then. I have so many memories of rushing home after school to hang out with my favorite villagers. I picked up New Leaf only about a year and half ago, it totally recaptured the same magic I felt back then
