What's your favorite Animal Crossing game?

[Nena]

New leaf is my fave

I love acnl and all it's features. It is clearly the superior game. But the gamecube holds a special place in my heart that can never be taken over by anything else. So I say the gc version is best, even though it clearly isn't, simply because of what it means to me.

I've only played CF and NL, but NL is my favorite!

my favorite will always be the gamecube version. i made friends with my cranky villagers (who used to be so much more cranky) and it was so cool when they were actually nice. most of my current villagers are who i had in the gamecube version. i also really liked a lot of the features that got taken out. like the ball, the aerobics, inputting codes, and the gold statue for the person that completed their house first. with that said, there isnt an animal crossing that i havent liked. i love the entire series.

This was VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY difficult, because technically New Leaf is tied with e+ as my favorite. New Leaf is my favorite on a handheld, and e+ on a console. Here's what makes e+ my favorite console. First, it was the first to allow picture taking on SD cards (I even use one of the ones I took in my thumbnail), second you see there in my thumbnail is Reset Center- yeah, that was the first time in the series that showed up, you also had the introduction of medicine and sick animals, you could go into their houses when they weren't home if they were in the same acre (same in every version of GC/64 though, but still), the side scrolling was soooo much a reminder of Zelda, the NES games, some holidays were American (the re-localized the US localized version), if you had space, you could add whoever you wanted into your town using their e-reader card at the fountain (despite popular belief this is only available in e+ and HHD). The fact that it used those e-reader cards! Sure, they were region locked, but still. Add whoever you wanted was such an awesome feature they didn't add back until HHD, and that's kind of a limited game. There's more songs, more fish, more bugs, it was a great console game, but too bad it's only available on a Japanese system.

For New Leaf, they added all the great things the prior ones did, and expanded on them. They took out some things I kind of miss, like Blathers going on and on- kind of wish they treated him like Kapp'n where you could skip it if you wanted, but if you didn't could still hear him. Next, and this I absolutely love, they took out those mid-town cliffs!!! The only cliffs in the game where you need to find a ramp is for the beach, which kind of also sucked because I liked going to the beach without having to go down a cliff.

No matter what, I guess every game will have something I don't like- I didn't make them, but as far as my favorite overall, New Leaf has to get it, simply because it has the ability to go with me everywhere I go, and I NEVER change the clock other than for DST, so if I miss something at home, I'm SOL, I can't go back and get it, giving the win to New Leaf since I have yet to miss an event thanks to its portability.

My favourite game by a long shot is New Leaf. I just love all the changes from Wil World and City Folk, it suits me and my preferences perfectly!

Second favourite is WW, my first AC game - and introduction to handheld gaming. I have at least 4 copies of this game plus the one I bought my sister so we could play together. I played this game even after (very belatedly) getting CF for my wii u. Even after starting both my NL towns I still kept at least 2 of my WW towns going!

Third favourite is City Folk, I really did not care for that game at all despite how desperate to play it I was. I was given a wii u for Christmas with this game just so I could play it! But.. I hated it on the big screen. I like my animal crossing portable, and just could not adjust to the different way of playing required. I also didn't have any friends playing it anymore by the time I started, and had neither the time nor inclination to track down random online players to play with. So I played it exclusively as a single player, and it frankly sucked. After being so active visiting and being visited by others in WW, CF was just too isolating for me.

I would love to play the older versions of AC, I've never seen it in real life though have read reviews and gameplay guides (by accident with WW as so many guides weren't clear on which game they were about). Maybe I'll get those someday..

It's a tie between GC AC and New Leaf. I like the original one because of the newness when I played, and New Leaf because of the Add-ons.

 

[LinkToTheWorld]

I have only played this one and wild world. Out of the two I prefer this one, although there were some great parts of WW which I wish had been incorporated into this one. But I love new leafs new personality types, or the smug type at least. They've become equal favourite for me along with lazy, I can't imagine animal crossing without them now.

Animal Crossing Wild World and City Folk, in my opinion they had much more content and exploration than Animal Crossing NL. I felt like I was discovering way more and got way more out of the game in general. In NL I feel like everything is given to me... I don't know if that is what kids like these days... they removed Resetti because it scared kids... that already worries me. Kids need to stop being sensitive, when I got Animal Crossing at the age of 8 there was Resetti and you had to deal with it not cry in the corner.

my first ac game was wild world and it was alright. i didnt really use the wifi option because we didnt have internet back then but besides that it was pretty fun. when i heard about new leaf i freaked out because the graphics looked so much better (at that time i didnt really pay attention to nintendo consoles and game news, i still played on an old ds and didnt even know the 3ds was a thing) and it looked like there was a lot more to do. when it finally came out i had to wait a week or two because i forgot that i also had to beg my mom for a 3ds. when she got me it i was even more surprised because it was the limited edition pokemon x 3ds, which i didnt even ask for. i didnt even like pokemon that much back then, i wanted the pink small 3ds, but it was near my birthday so maybe she wanted to go all out. anyways, when i finally got the game in like july 2013, it was all i had hoped for, i would spend days in my room just playing acnl, it got so bad my mom started taking away my 3ds at night so i wouldnt be up all night. if a video game is fun enough to make an 11 year old stay up till 5 am, youre doing something right.

I played WW, CF and NL but I'd say New Leaf was my favorite. I think I was too young to get into WW and CF and didn't really have any friends that played it so the internet options was not something I took part in. New Leaf I finally got the full extent of playing with friends and even though I've restarted my town numerous times for one reason or another, it's been the most enjoyable experience so far. I played on and off for the last few months but with the updates coming in the fall I've gotten back into the game full swing.

New Leaf. Population Growing will always have a special place in my heart but New Leaf has the most/best features. I still boot up PG once in awhile for the nostalgia but it didn't age too well.

 

[Xara]

I've only played Wild World and New Leaf, but New Leaf is definitely my favourite.

 

[Milleram]

Definitely New Leaf. I love being able to build public works and I like other features like the Dream Suite.

Lucky I wish my mom done that... I was too old for it so xD oh well I still remember when I was a child and got my first DS and it was green, I remember being so happy that I screamed lol
I do however remember that when the Pokemon X 3DS came out my boyfriend came home with it and it was a impulse buy lol he already had 2 of small 3DS.

I love all of the Animal Crossing games, but in my opinion, New Leaf is the best one. New Leaf has so many new things that make the game so much fun, and it feels like it's much more fleshed out than the other games, as it builds on things like town development. I've had so much fun with New Leaf over the last few years, and I still love playing it. The GameCube version is also really great, and I still love playing it from time-to-time because of how quirky and different it is compared to every other Animal Crossing title. Wild World and City Folk, while I feel like I can't really go back to them anymore because of how much better the GameCube and 3DS versions are, still were really fun and great games.

 

[Sylvei]

I played and loved all of the games, but the first one I really got into was City Folk even though it wasn't my first Animal Crossing game and then this summer I've been into both New Leaf and Population Growing my sister was the reason I started playing and as much as I like a lot of the things from the other games I never got the full experience(online play) till New leaf plus all the new experiences it put out there and my dreamies are in New leaf too xP

 

[Clear_Mind]

We played both and we like New Leaf and Wild World. Those two are good! Anyway, the mechanics when played are certainly not really different between the two games. Furthermore, New leaf has a lot more in terms of features.
