Which Animal Crossing game has the best soundtrack?

[Alessio]

Absolutely Wild World, and i expected many more votes for Gamecube.

WW/CF. I actually didn't play WW for more than two days so my real introduction to that music was CF. I think this music fits the game it's in the most. Like, if this music were put into NH I dont think it would work as nicely. While NH is extremely calm and relaxing, it doesn't have that quaint, forest life feel the older games had. NH's soundtrack while not perfect, fits it better than CF's soundtrack would fit NH.

It's Wild World hands down for me. I love the mood and instrumentation choices, the tracks just make me so happy.

New Leaf is actually my least favourite soundtrack!

Why is NL your least favourite, out of curiosity? Unpopular opinions are so interesting sometimes.

I find it very low-energy compared to the other ones. I prefer something a bit more upbeat. I want Animal Crossing music to make me feel like running around my town, not taking a nap

Interesting that you say that because I feel like WW/CF is the most calm which is my reason for loving it so much. NL is kinda all over the place with tempos and genres with almost every hour feeling very different from the last in my opinion.

Would be nice if you could choose which soundtrack to have playing. And be able to switch between them.

I don't mind new horizon's music music at all (it makes me feel like i'm on vacation!) But New Leaf (especially the late night music) still has that nostalgia factor for me, as it was my first game

WW/CF. NL’s isn’t good at all.

 

[Cirice]

I only played NL and NH, so my opinion is reduced, but I'd say NL !
I've also heard OST from other games, they all sound great, weirdly, my least favorite seems to be NH.

that's not weird, i think the NH soundtrack is pretty weird as well

Wild World, it's still great today and it's not just the nostalgia talking.

For me it's a tie between GC and NL. If I had to choose I'd probably go with NL but GC just has so much nostalgia for me that I had to include it.

New Leaf has my favorite soundtrack!

 

[awesomeelle2001]

I think NL has the best soundtrack, but Wild World is my favourite purely due to the nostalgia.
I'm personally not the biggest fan of NH's soundtrack, I find it forgettable compared to previous games, but all of the animal crossing games have amazing soundtracks!

First game. Absolutely enjoy all the soundtracks. They seem more unique. Especially the night themes. My favorite is 10pm. A waltz music that seems so uneasy yet so peaceful at the same time. It's wonderful.

 

[Corrie]

Wild World for sure. It has the most catchy, diverse and Animal Crossing sounding tunes!

While I started with City Folk and I love the soundtrack, the music of New Leaf just hits me differently. Perhaps it’s that I was able to play it more (not having to share a town does wonders!) or that it has good memories tied to it (my favorite was listening to K.K. play at Club LOL during a baseball game I was bored at). Either way, I have to say that, despite it not sounding too animal crossing-ish, it’ll always be my favorite.

 

[ReanimatedSorceress]

I'm going to be the oddball and say the original. It's definitely an aquired taste for some people, but the funky, weird, sometimes even jazzy tracks just give me the seratonin

 

[frenchip]

For me, I'd have to say City Folk. Maybe it's nostalgia speaking for me, but I absolutely love the hourly tracks and the city music! I know the hourly tracks are the same as in Wild World, but I just adore the city music.
