What was the first animal crossing game you played?

[Romaki]

Wild World was my first one! I miss those days, just playing with no goals in mind.

 

[Jacob]

I got Wild World when I turned 8 or 9!

 

[Croconaw]

My first Animal Crossing game was Population Growing for the GameCube!

 

[Khaoticnoize187]

new horizons i do also have wild world too and i learned bout the series like countless others from nintendo through smash

 

[XD001]

It was Animal Crossing: Wild World and I fell in love with it

 

[eeveelovee]

Mine was New Leaf.... I had always known about the series but it took me until 2012 to actually join the club lol!

 

[Neb]

New Leaf. I had never heard of the series until I saw YouTube videos on it when it first released and decided to borrow a copy from GameFly. I got my own copy a year later for my birthday and have stuck with the series since.

 

[Suguri]

I started off with New Leaf. I remember it was pretty great and I want to go back to it sometime. It'll take me a while to readjust to the gameplay since I've gotten cozy with New Horizons already...

 

[Doo]

Whose first game was amiibo festival?
Anyway, my first was Wild World at 4yrs old

 

[BakaRina]

New Horizon’s was my introduction to the series. Got into it because someone on a discord server mentioned it and I wrote I should check it out and one thing led to another and I brought it and here I am. Lol.

Wild World was my first Animal Crossing game, but I think I hardly played it. The only thing I remember was having Dottie as a villager.

 

[McRibbie]

Wild World on Christmas Day 2006 with my old black DS lite (alongside Super Mario 64 DS and Dr Kawashima's Brain Training iirc).

 

[azurill]

My first game was actually PG for GameCube.

 

[LambdaDelta]

the lack of cube crossing in this poll is honestly a criminal act

anyways, the absent option was my debut experience with the franchise

Animal Crossing New Leaf was my introduction to the series. I never played an AC game but noticed how much anticipation ACNL was garnering. I watched some reviews and notable gaming YouTubers, such as Chuggaaconroy, play ACNL and purchased the game that very summer.

Animal Crossing New Leaf: Welcome amiibo was my first Animal Crossing game. It was so much fun, and I still love it to this day. My friend recommended it to me, and as soon as my semester of college was over, I went and got a copy. I've been hooked on Animal Crossing since!

Animal Crossing: Wild World circa 2006.

The EU didn't get WW until March 31 2006.

Meanwhile the first release date was November 23 2005 for Japan. Then December 5 2005 and December 8 2005 for the US and Australia, respectively. So the EU get it almost 4 months after the first release date, lol. Aren't we glad it's not like that these days?

But anyhow, the game holds a special place in my heart and I associate the lighter moments of my childhood with it amongst a few other classics. I had a war against Pecan and Wart Jr! Pecan and I have called a truce because she kinda slays but I'm not even go there about Wart Jr and all the things that he did.

 

[Bulbadragon]

Wild World! I had a sleepover with all my friends for my 8th (I think?) birthday and two of them had the game for their DSes. They let me try it and I was obsessed. I asked my parents to take me to use my birthday money on the game as soon as everyone left the next day. It's been my favorite game series ever since!

 

[mewp0ka]

pocket camp! it made me yearn for more and i ended up saving up for a switch to play acnh.

 

[bestfriendsally]

my very first was wild world

... but then i skipped a couple of generations & then it was NH
