I first saw AC when my friend played it - I think on the game cube. I was hooked, but I didn't get it myself until New Leaf (as an adult with my own money lol).
It was Population Growing/the one for Gamecube. I got it for Christmas in 2003. I played it for several hours a day, sometimes well into the night if my parents weren't looking in on me.
New Leaf. It was actually the first Animal Crossing gave I ever played. Happy Home Designer and Pocket Camp are nowhere near as good. I hope Horizons can live up to my expectations. I am really hoping it is as good or better then New Leaf. I think the graphics a little strange. More like it looks like the older Animal Crossings. But I hope what you can do is still going to be as good or better. I hope there is still a lot of clothes and furniture to collect too.
Animal Crossing for the GameCube. My friend Hollie had it and I went to her house one night and watched her play. This is when I was about 11-12. Animal Crossing has been with me ever since.
Gamecube version! I obsessively played it for years, and it was the only version I'd played until about the time New Leaf came out! Around that time, I fiiiiiinally got City Folk, and while I still had fun with it, I just missed the Gamecube version! I think after NL, it's still my second fav title in the series, and def in my top 10 games of all time uwu
The Gamecube version. I remember really clearly how it even all started. My family rented two video games, one being a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory game, and Animal Crossing. My mom played Animal Crossing first (considering my parents are really into video games as well) and I played the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory game first. After we had both played the games for a while, my mom told me that Animal Crossing was a really good game and I needed to play it. So I decided to do so. I got absolutely hooked. I, unfortunately, lost my original town due to corrupt memory cards though. I don't even know how it happened because I have legitimate memory cards, and I've only heard of it happening with knock off memory cards. We ended up buying a used copy of the game and I played it all the time. When Wild World came out, I was so excited. I remember obsessively playing it whenever I had spare time. I still have that town to this day, and I still have Robin in it! In my copy, she had the name tag of a male villager which confused me. And of course, with City Folk and New Leaf, I played those a ton too. New Leaf is the one I'm most familiar with though, because it's been out for so long,, it's the most recent game, and I've had it since its release.
I've completely gone off on a good kind of rant here, so I'm sorry to anyone reading! I guess what I'm saying is that the Gamecube version is what started it, but every Animal Crossing game has helped continue my obsession with the series.
Game Cube. First one and i was hooked completely. I thought it was so cool how the days changed in real time. There hadn't been a game like that before. All the holidays that coincided with current day straight up blew my 12 year old mind.
I really loved wild world when i first got it but i think after i played lets go to the city on the wii is when i got hooked, the wii version just brought so much calm and happiness, its still my favourite to play today and is so nice.
