So I bought Wild World...for one day.

I'm pretty much the same with everyone else. Wild World was good at the time but New Leaf has ruined it for me sadly.
 
OP is exactly what I did.. I bought WW because I love NL and I figured it'd be good, since everyone said it was good and it was awful. It gave me a headache and was annoying to play. I only paid like $10 for it since it was used without the box thing, but I ended up just giving it to my fiance because I didn't want it and I'd only get like $1 for it if I traded it in. NL has definitely spoiled me.
 
Wild World was my first ever Animal Crossing game, I got it when I was seven. That being said, I was addicted to Wild World up until New Leaf came out. I loved Wild World so much, I would play it for hours and take my DS everywhere I went. It was like my little perfect world. When New Leaf came out, I thought it was impossible to love it more than my Wild World game. Boy was I wrong. Now whenever I go back to Wild World for memories, it's just so... ugh. Boring. And seeing the graphics after playing New Leaf for a while made me cringe. I can only play it for like 10 minutes at a time, only to look back at memories. Nothing else on that game is fun to me anymore.
 
Compared to new leaf in almost every aspect, it's out-shined.

31$ is really expensive for a DS game which was probably pre-owned and came out almost 10 years ago...
Where did you even buy it from? If the place is charging that much for wild world then imagine how much they're over-pricing other games.
 
I remember getting Wild World a few years ago, it was pretty good when I first got it, but it hasn't aged well at all, especially after playing New Leaf since it's release date.
I think the main thing that I had against it, was the fact you could only have 8 villagers, and the towns were pretty bland. (GC and CF had multiple layers, and NL has better layouts, and a lower beach)
 
If you've only ever played New Leaf, it's obvious that you'd hate the previous instalments. Nintendo try to make the new instalments better than the previous, and they succeed to do that. You hate it because it's not New Leaf.

I echo this post essentially. Wild World is still my favourite Animal Crossing game actually, but that's mostly just because I have a lot of nostalgia and memories associated with it, and it was the first game with online play. Objectively, it's probably the worst game in the series actually in terms of features and content. So it's pretty expected that somehow who played New Leaf first would find it extremely underwhelming.
 
I'ts just that New Leaf renders Wild World inferior now.

This is pretty much the same as having a high-end LCD TV, then going back and getting a TV that was considered "high-end" nine years ago. (Wow, Wild World came out nine years ago?? I feel old...)

When I was younger, I absolutely loved Wild World. I have so many memories of it, and it probably has the most nostalgia for me out of the whole AC series. WW was also my first AC game.

Obviously after playing in New Leaf, it's hard to go back to the previous installment. It just depends on your position, I guess.
 
I used to play wildoworld as a kid and I loved it back then, I went on it recently and I can't believe the difference, with wild world you do the same thing over and over and you get bored really easy, I was only on it for about ten mins!
New leaf has so much to do in the game, like inviting friends over and going on tours.
 
I've been an Animal Crossing fan since Population: Growing (Gamecube) and I loved every game in the series, now, it's just hard to go back. I understand that feel. I don't have copies of the previous games anymore (because, college came around, and I decided since I wasn't going to play them again, they should go to a new home). It's so weird to play newer games in the series and then go back, because they're so different.
 
I've been playin Animal Crossing since the release of the first game and for me, it's always been difficult to go back... except for Gamecube for some reason! New Leaf is basically just a better Wild World LOL. I liked City Folk a lot but it just feels like New Leaf is an improved version. The Gamecube original is the one that still keeps its charm for me, I LOVE it :)
