Which AC game got you hooked?

Wild World got me hooked a long time ago. I'm really glad my old best friend introduced the series to me. I remember watching her play it one day and then after that I decided to get the game too. Best day ever. ^_^
 
I was hooked on Animal Crossing GameCube for a while, but then I didn't play any of the other games until New Leaf. So I guess New Leaf is really the game that properly got me hooked back into the franchise.
 
Probably new leaf. I did play wild world but only with one of my IRL high school friends for a short while. We quit ACWW together to focus on WoW lol XD years later I got ACNL and got hooked on that after I found an online community for it! Having a community for animal crossing helped fuel my obsession definitely.
 
Animal Crossing Wild World!!! I spent sooooo much time playing that game i was so obsessed. Didnt really like the gamecube version, but i played city folk for a while! its been years since i played city folk, but i just recently bought a 2ds like 2 weeks ago and have been playing new leaf ever since!
 
For me, it's Wild World. It was the very first Animal Crossing game I've ever played and thanks to it, I became a fan of this franchise.

New Leaf I would think. I have played the other games, but not nearly as long or as early in their lifespan.
 
I was hooked with the Gamecube game. Since then, I've played every game nearly every day for at least a full year since their launch. Few games can claim that with me.

I think I will be the only one to say that the game that got me hooked onto Animal crossing was actually Animal crossing happy home designer! I bought a special edition of the new 3ds that happened to be an achhd one. It looked cute and had good reviews so I grabbed it in order to upgrade from my 2ds (and not long before that DSI lol) and I love achhd (especially from the perspective of someone who hadn't played any other animal crossing before to compare it to) I had heard of new leaf before because I used to play tomodachi life and rpgs (such as fire emblem). Long story short I bought acnl and loved it. But I have achhd to thank for me being hooked into the anima crossing series. Also bought wild world and love that to :)
 
Let's go to the City!
I played Wild World before but didn't really play it a lot.
Let's go to the City really got me hooked fast lmao. And I'm very glad because now I'm part of an amazing community!
I loooooved playing Let's go to the City whenever I could! (I don't even remember who bought me the game and why lol, because I never asked for it, so thank you, mom I suppose.)
I used to play so much on that game but for some obscure reason my town is so ugly. Like it's full of weeds (not surprising actually because I didn't care about removing them.) and even had multiple rafflesias over the time. My encyclopedia isn't even 10% complete and my museum is basically empty. I think I just spent my time visiting the City and Time Travelling to every sunday I could in hopes to partake in a flea market. I loved buying furniture from my villagers, apparently.
 
The GameCube game is the one that really reeled me in. I saw it one day when visiting my best friend's house back when we were children. I was instantly hooked and got my own copy soon thereafter so that we could play together and visit each other's towns. I played a ton of that game and have good memories. New Leaf has a lot of great features that make it more desirable for me to play nowadays, but Animal Crossing back on the GameCube still has its own unique aspects and charm that set it apart and I'm very glad that I experienced it first.
 
new leaf. Yikes.

I remember seeing AC wii games as a kid, but having no interest in buying them.
 
Wild World got me hooked. It was my very first AC game. I ended up playing every game released after that and I even picked up a copy of the GameCube version and a controller a couple years ago. I occasionally play it on my Wii, but I must say that it's not as nostalgic to me as it is for a lot of people on here.
I mainly play New Leaf now.
 
The Gamecube version. I was hoping the rest of the Animal Crossing games would be the same (or better), but, so far, the Gamecube had the most features, events and villagers. I liked how you could've played some old nes games on some of the nes furniture, but they removed that in the later versions and instead, you get puzzle league in new leaf. I liked how blathers had a lot more to say when you handed him an insect or fish to be donated to the museum. Now he's only a shell of his former self and he doesn't say much aside from how everything reminds him of when he was in his nest. :( I liked how villagers were distinctly different and not all nice clones. I liked hiw sometimes a ball would appear randomly that villagers would kick around. I mis the dump where you could've find rare items sometimes to add to your catalog. The retail center just isn't the same, but having both would be nice. One for collecting; one for selling. Most of all I miss the wonderful music composition of the gcn Animal crossing. New Leaf has some good musics here and there, but nothing compared to Wild World or Forest :(

The funnest aspect of New Leaf was collecting items and island tours. I've already collected mostly everything I really wanted and tours became repetitive. I wish there were more villagers at least and better dialogue. I wish mean characters weren't toned down. And I'd like if towns were bigger, giving you more to explore. :( I can always tune out new leafs music with forest's music but I can't tune out poor dialogue or a tiny town with not much to do. :(

definitely was wild world.

aside from it being my first animal crossing, i remember all the fond times i spend with a former friend of mine and my sister back in the day - esp after getting back home from a swimming trip and it got rainy, or when it was just a regular old sunday - we would spend all of our time playing together in each others towns and having fun. i recreated some of that "magic" with my sister right after new leaf came out - i remember the evenings during summer break we'd spend in one of our beds just fishing and catching bugs on the tropical island and having fun together!

sadly, as we've grown older and my sister sold her 3ds some years ago (and no one of us touches wild world anymore, let alone that i don't think i have a legit copy of it anymore), thinking and writing about those things just brings back some sort of nostalgia i can't quite grasp or ever re-live. i'm sad about that, but on the other hand, it's kind of the little things and the memories we make that count, don't they?
 
New Leaf, it was my first AC game and I was obsessed with it.
 
Wild World! It was the first one I played. In grades 7 and 8 I played it NON-STOP, and continued to play it frequently long after New Leaf came out! It's really special to me.
