What is th€ av€rag€ ag€ of Animal Crossing fans?

I started playing when I was about... 10-11, I think. I'm 19 now.

I would hesitate to guess at the average age of AC fans based on the fandom alone. One of the beautiful things about the game is its broader appeal; even though it's a game that sounds pretty boring/odd in the abstract, it has the kind of charm and whimsy that anyone can relate to. While the fandom online seems to consist of teenagers, I think that could be partly attributed to the internet itself.

For what it's worth, New Leaf has been an incredible success in Japan. Satoru Iwata said the greatest demographic (based on Club Nintendo data) in the first few weeks was women aged 19-24, like me. (Of course, that doesn't mean the average age of the AC fan is 19-24.)

Surveys like these are always interesting though!
 
I think i started when i was in 5th grade,so maybe around when i was 10.Now I'm almost 16(In August 15th) You're never too old for games(Animal Crossing) :blush:
 
I was 10 when my friend got me hooked on it, I'm 19 now. As long as my games and systems are intact, I'll still be playing these games. They're timeless, and anyone can play them.
 
Ooh, I was around 8 when I played WW, I over here in england the people who play AC are usually 10-18 year old girls. I feel out of place D:
 
First time I played Animal Crossing was when I was 5 years old, I think... I'm 15 now. x3 I've been a fan of the series for a long while. Population Growing was the first game I had ever played so yeah. o;
 
Let's see... Wild World came out in late 2005... my grandpa either gave it to me then or in 2006 so I was most likely 7 or 8 years old. I was addicted, and so was my brother. We were always playing, and we even made friends in our neighborhood because of the game. It's actually a funny store, we were hanging out with these kids and we saw a fish jump out of the water. I made a joke to my brother and said, "Heh, maybe it was a horse mackerel," cause we always got those in our towns. One of the kids was like, "Wait... how'd you know that fish's name?" I told him Animal Crossing, and we all basically fangirled about it. Anyways, now I'm 14, 15 in three months and I'm still as avid a fan as ever. I don't know if I'll ever stop loving Animal Crossing.

Why do people always call it population growing? I mean come on, why not just say AC NGC? Not hard!
Sorry, just a little pet hate of mine.

It doesn't matter what I say... I know that the Gamecube version is not actually called Population Growing and that is actually just called Animal Crossing. The fact of the matter is, is that I've always referred to it is that, and everyone knows what I mean. It's just easier to differentiate between them. Because, if I said Animal Crossing, you wouldn't know whether I'm referring to the series as a whole or the version for the Gamecube... But this is off topic and there's already a thread for it so it's whatever.
 
I was ... a bit above 25 when I began playing on my gamecube, with the US version and not the European one...

I am 36 for New Leaf. :)
 
I was, like, 12 when I picked up the game at a Walmart while at my grandparents. I just turned 20. I don't know if I've spent my whole time since playing Animal Crossing but I've enjoyed the series enough to pick up every game that came out.
 
I was introduced to the series with Wild World when I was 19 by a friend a year older than me. I am now 26.
 
I was a Wild World starter, too ! Started playing when I was 12, I believe in '05 ?
About to be 20 and still just as obsessed. :)
