Is Animal Crossing better for the handheld or console?

[MisterEnigma]

I just think it works better on a handheld. It just has that type of vibe. My first AC was New Leaf though, so I'm incredibly biased.

I'm going to say that I like playing better on handhelds. I have nothing against it Animal Crossing being on consoles. My first one was the one for the Gamecube and I had a lot of fun with it. The issue I have with consoles though is that I wouldn't be able to play as often as I would be able to with a handheld. There's only one TV in my house, and it's in the living room. I could only play a console for so long until my dad bugs me to get off the TV so he can watch. With a 3DS, I'd be able to play anywhere, as it has been stated many times in this thread.

Handheld for me. I don't play any other consoles any more, all I have in the house are our two 3DS's. I don't like sitting in front of the TV in one room to play a game. I like to be able to play anywhere, and put it down easily so I can go do other things if I want to. Handheld is so much more convenient, and I can get into it much better. I tried City Folk and hated it, it just didn't suit my lifestyle I guess. I can actually put more time and effort in with handheld games I think. If the new AC comes out on console then I most likely won't play it, I wouldn't buy a console just for one game (with the exception of Pokemon!!).

Handheld for sure. AC is one of those games that is best when you can easily play a little, a lot of times if you know what I mean, and the portability of the DS/3DS is much better for that.

 

[Chibi.Hoshi]

Handheld!

Animal Crossing it's just too perfect for 3DS. When I playd the last one on WII wasn't the same thing, at all... it's like tha game losts some magic. A game so colorful, so vivid, you need to play it everywhere, especially in some nerd fair or with the WI-FI anywhere. And... on television the village seems too damn big.

 

[Azy]

I'd say handheld too. Being able to play it whenever is extremely convenient, so I can always check my town frequently.

 

[sakurakiki]

Definitely on handhelds for me. I love being able to play AC wherever I go. Plus, I just want to check my town more often when it's on a handheld instead of booting up a console.

 

[honeyaura]

Handheld. I find little to no reason for it to be on console if it's already near-perfect on handheld.
Plus, AC is just one of those charms that I'd like to have with me wherever I go <3

Even though I've only played New Leaf, I still cannot imagine myself being happier with a console version. I like the convenience of being able to take it with me wherever I go. It's not the kind of game I sit and play for hours and hours each day either, so a handheld console works just fine for me.

 

[VillagerBoyDreams]

Handhelds. I've never played any console AC but I figure with New Leaf that the games can have tons of features (while still lacking features of consoles) and still be amazingly packed to the brim with content! These games were built for consoles, but a console port to a handheld with more multiplayer options, local towns and etc. makes the game so much better for handhelds.
But that's just an opinion. A game opinion!

 

[Shimmer]

The graphics for consoles look amazing but I view Animal Crossing as a portable game where I can play anywhere whenever I'm bored.

 

[KittyBoton]

Handhelds all the way.

 

[Pearls]

Definitely handhelds. It's portable and convenient and has two screens

Other
They're not the same but they both have their appeal. I like both but I prefer a console game (even though New Leaf is far better than CF). There's a sense of nostalgia in it for me, plus I prefer to playing on a big screen over portability.

 

[oath2order]

Handheld for sure. Can play anywheres

 

[Lepidoptera]

Handhelds because I like being able to play wherever I want to.

 

[Milleram]

I can honestly see the benefits of both. I used to like it back in the day when my brother and sister and I played the Gamecube and Wii versions together, and we all lived in the same town. It was fun hearing the neighbours talk about my siblings. That being said, I do enjoy the fact that with New Leaf I get full control of the town. I don't have to ask my siblings what they think of the path or something, I can chop down any trees I want, and I don't have to deal with them leaving their junk all around town, lol.

 

[Geneve]

I like being able to bring my town with me anywhere.

 

[Nashiro]

Definitely Handheld.

I love that I can play it wherever I go and whatever time I want to. I love how theres so many options for multiplayer with handheld and that I can get streetpasses and stuff. I can take my 2Ds to America if I want, get streetpasses, explore and have fun. I love how its small and can fit in my bag wherever I go. I love how I can lay down and play or lay down, play and watch some TV/anime/youtube. It's so versatile.
