How Long Have you been playing Animal Crossing?

[Vickie]

♥ My first Animal Crossing game was Wild World,
I didn't get too addicted with that game though.
But New Leaf came along, and I was hooked, and I'm still hooked!! c: ♥

Mostly by the time the game actually came out.

Japan or the rest of the world? It's got a few different versions and different years, Japan first saw it in 2001, America in 2002, Europe in 2003, so that REALLY varies for the first game release depending on your region.

I started playing Wild World in 2010 or 2011 (can't remember which year), because a friend of mine had WW and Let's Go to the City. I started playing Let's Go to the City not long after I got WW.

I stopped playing Animal Crossing completely in 2013 and 2014, but then last year I started feeling nostalgic, so I revisited both games, then I started watching Let's Plays of New Leaf on YouTube, and I really wanted to play it. I finally got New Leaf last Christmas from my mum.

In 2002 the original GC version, but then I stop playing it until 2010 when I bought City Folk.

Years cx I got Wild World when I was 16. I'm now 21. I was hooked on Wild World when I got it and then I came off games for a bit because of school and now that I've gotten New Leaf..I'm hooked! xD Its the first thing I do when I get ready for my day lol!

It's kinda weird for me; I got Wild World as my first AC game back in 2006 to see what all the fuss was about. I lasted for about no more than 4 months before my college studies got on top of me and I had to neglect it just to focus on what's important. And I couldn't go back to it because of the fear of having to play it EVERY SINGLE DAY just to make sure everything is in its place, and the thought of the villagers mentally beating me up after neglecting them for so long. That lingering thought put me off AC for years.

Then with the impending release for Happy Home Designer last year, I wanted to give that a go and play it. But at the same time, another thought came to my head - I miss playing Animal Crossing. I was more mature by then and thought I would be able to handle the idea of any bad mishaps in town, so I bought New Leaf a month before HHD came out and fell in love all over again. <3

So basically, I started playing 8 years ago, but hadn't really played for more than a year in total. xD

Only three years now, I honestly wasn't into video games until I met my boyfriend and he introduced me to Animal Crossing on his gamecube, I was instantly hooked and had to have New Leaf asap.

Since 2009. I normally wouldn't remember exactly what year I discovered a game but it was while we lived in Spain (which was only for a year). I found Wild World by shere dumb luck really. I was looking on Amazon (or maybe eBay) for DS games as my mum bought us a DS to share (the old kind, think it was a lite). I remember seeing an image of the Wild World case cover as a suggestion while looking at (I think) Pokemon DS games. The colourful cute image alone was what made me click on it. I don't think I even looked for reviews on the game or anything, I just chose it based on seeing that cover and reading about fishing.

I do remember being like 'what the?' when I started. I mean, when you know nothing about AC and jump into it there seems to be no obvious goals like in other games. But I'm glad I was curious enough to keep playing because I was soon addicted.

I started about a year and a half ago with ACNL. Now I own two cartridges with multiple towns on each, City Folk, and Wild World lol

 

[Skylanx]

More than 1 year now

I've played off and on since childhood. I think Wild World was my first? I'm not sure, I was so young. I just remember always renting it for my GameCube from the local video rental mart.

Throughout my childhood.

my first and only Animal Crossing game is New Leaf, which I obtained in April 2014, a few days before Bunny Day. I may go get the Nintendo Selects re-release of City Folk though...
