Wild World versus ACNL

[tigereyes86]

The graphics in Wild World never bothered me as much as they do with some people. I thought they were pretty good for a DS game, and I liked them better than City Folk's graphics/style, which I found unimpressive. I also don't really play Animal Crossing for the holidays, so that didn't bother me too much either. Overall, I really love Wild World, and there are even things I like about it more than New Leaf -- villager houses (both how they look on the outside, and how they have pre-determined places), the personalities/dialogue, the hybrid system (none of this hybrid red flowers stuff), the way I could "lock" certain neighbors in town and convince neighbors I wanted to stay with 100% surety, and maybe more. But New Leaf has a lot more features to keep you busy, with PWPs, more house upgrades, new furniture, the island, etc. So I might prefer New Leaf overall because of its new features, but still have a fondness and special place in my heart for Wild World. It has its own charm and more casual gameplay. It's a very old game, keep in mind.

I'll always love Wild World because I spent so much time on it and I had so many great things going in that game that I accomplished all on my own. The graphics didn't bother me back then because they looked pretty normal compared to the other games that came out around the same time on the DS. I will agree there's a whole bunch of things that are better in New Leaf, but that's because it's a new game. Game designers always want to make the next game better than the first so it seems like they just did their job pretty well.

I don't really see the need in comparing them cause they're from the same series with a huge time gap between them that obviously will make them different. But they're both really good games.

Wild World was a great game on its own around the time it got released, but it ultimately hasn't aged well when you have New Leaf that far exceed their boundaries. It's not like Mario Kart, where older instalments don't necessarily equate to obsolete.
