It's a great game! I just need Wild World to finish my collection of the main Animal Crossing games. The only thing I don't like about Animal CrossingPopulation Growing) is how so many weeds spawn when you're gone for a while... It doesn't seem to be like City Folk or New Leaf where not many will spawn.
I picked New Leaf because a friend showed me this forum and it is a lot of fun to visit and trade with people in the community. Though I played the Gamecube Animal Crossing almost every day for over a year. I was surprised I stayed interested in a game that long and it was cool to see how the game changed in the different seasons.
Not counting the spin off games (Happy Home Designer and Amiibo Fest.) I've only played two Animal Crossing games, City Folk and New Leaf. City Folk has a ton of nostalgia but I've had more fun with New Leaf and I've put more time and effort into that town so I'm going with ACNL.
I've played since Wild World (I haven't played Amiibo Festival since I don't have a Wii U, and I haven't played much of City Folk) and I have to say New Leaf is my favourite. There just seems more to it than the other games, more to create and explore. In Wild World there were hardly any holidays, and I don't think any of the spin-off games will ever be as good as the main ones. So yeah, New Leaf is my favourite, due to the improvements they made
