How old were you when you played your first Animal Crossing game?

Me, personally, I first played New Leaf in 2015 when I was 6yo on a hacked console. I lost it for a few years, and took it up again at 13yo (so I've been playing on and off for two years now) after I got a game card for ACNL for Christmas.

So yeah I'm giving two options in case you don't know exactly how old you were when you first started (ie you might have started at 12 or 13, but you can't quite remember which).

24 because New Horizons was my first game. It’s really fun and I wish I discovered the series sooner!

i think i was around eight? i experienced wild world and city folk pretty close together, but i believe wild world was first, and then we got city folk around the time it initially released here. i still have my two copies of wild world, so sometimes i'll reset them just to experience the nostalgia and music of that game. they're really cute and hold a special place in my heart, though there often isn't enough to do in them to hold my interest for very long. i'd love to revisit city folk at some point, because i have fonder memories of the city, the two-tiered town layouts, and fishing up villagers' house keys lol. i think we still have our copy of that, too, but setting up the wii u is a pain by comparison, so i haven't opened that game in years.

My first AC game was New Leaf a year or two after its release. I think this was when the price dropped to $19.99 as part of the Nintendo Select collection. I got it because it was affordable and I really wanted to try out the series. I liked it but I wasn’t playing daily for hours at a time. I was mostly trying to collect items and unlock all of the stores and buildings which I was never able to do. I ended up erasing that Town after two years of hard work because Goose ruining literally everything in my game and he just refused to leave no matter what I did. I tried hitting him and purposely planting Pitfalls all around his house, and even began sending him threats to either move or else become the main course of a fancy dinner hosted by me.

I think I was either 9 or 10 because I remember making an animal crossing board game for class using the mini figured in 5th grade lol, I played wild world first so I've been playing a long time! For context I'm 25 now lol! I have every main line animal crossing game (English version wise) and every spin off except amiibo party since I never had a wii I lol, its been my favorite game series since i was a kid!
