Wild World vs New Leaf

[KingKyle]

So do you think WW is better than NL or NL is better than WW, I like NL because you become the mayor, but WW has a lot of villager dialogue, so I think that WW is better than NL

Oh no the poll's title says "City Folk" ughhhhhh

 

[Believe]

New Leaf is actually my first animal crossing game and I love it so I guess id pick that

 

[Hopeless Opus]

love love love wild world. i really like the stuff we get to do now in the game and all the new stuff, but i miss the days of having the museum in the town, or having to run around doing a billion errands for tom nook, i miss the simpleness of it.

As much as I want to say Wild World is better, I could not stand the fact that each player shared the same house. Also, the game had terrible framerate, and most of its features are limited due to the service being shut down.

The only thing WW has something better than NL is the fact that WW music is just far more better and sounds more "animal crossing" than NL, imo.

As much as I loved WW, and played it forever, will have to say NL. I have played all in the series but love the newness of NL. I like the mayor concept, pwps, how organized you can make your town look, etc. The things I do miss about WW is having the shops actually in your town. I thought it was super cute. Along with how the villager houses look. it's a weird thing to like, but the outside of them looked more comfortable.

I may have voted WW if I hadnt lost the game and wasnt able to enjoy it to the extent that I had wanted to. I feel WW was more simplistic and cute at the time. Coming from acgc, and begging my parents to buy me WW, my level of hype was much more for WW than ACNL.
As an adult playing ACNL, I will choose this over WW since I hadnt lost this game and I wasnt able to play WW completely, but Im sure I would have preferred WW solely because of how quick the loading times between buildings are.

I don't feel like I can vote because I only played WW very briefly before NL came out. I feel like since playing NL, it'd be really hard to go back to WW. Which is a real shame, especially because so many people seem to point out the great things about it NL lacks. I hope it gets a 3DS Virtual Console digital release? I feel like I would definitely try hard to give it a solid go, the cart I bought of Ebay ended up being a fake so I sent it back and I never got one after that. With a digital release it would remove the biggest obstacle for me: actually owning a copy of the game. I'd love to be able to just hop in and out of it now and again, play around, get used to it, see what it's like.

Does anyone think / have you heard of Nintendo planning anything like this? I heard something about another AC game being re-released on the Wii U / Virtual Console right? Maybe the WW won't be far behind?

New Leaf by a very large margin.

However, Wild World is the second best main series AC game.

I much prefer new leaf. I never really played wild world too much, I certainly never got into it in the same way I'm into new leaf. I switch it on ocasisonaly to see what's going on but that's about all I ever did with it. New leaf I have been on almost everyday since I got the game. I much prefer the graphics and I like the fact you're the mayor. There feels like there's a lot more to do. I miss certain aspects of wild world though, the personalities of villagers felt much more real. They're kind of watered down now.

New Leaf because it has more things to do in game, being the mayor adds up to the addiction of playing it, and how it takes awhile to make your town great which means endless of options to choose.

Wild world was my first ac game and I loved it. I didn't buy new leaf straight away as I thought it might not be as good or be so good I would neglect my wild world town. Well the latter was true. I haven't really played wild world since starting new leaf. I would definitely say new leaf is better than wild world

 

[Eline]

New Leaf! Mostly because you can put pwp's (almost) anywhere you want, which I really like. This way you can really make your town unique! I loved WW as well, but that might be more nostalgia feelings for me, since that was the first AC game I ever played. It will always hold a special place in my heart <3

 

[erikaeliseh]

New leaf, for sure. I love wild world, but i find it quite frustrating if your looking to create your own little world, like you easily can in New leaf. You can't place PWP, its extremely hard to keep flowers alive (and almost impossible to get hybrids), its hard to keep your villagers, and i DESPISE the dirt everywhere. Despite that, though, i still appreciate wild world, and i think i would love it more if i had played it before new leaf. I love the dialogue, and i prefer most of the wild world songs over the NL ones.

 

[namiieco]

WW got me into the game but you have to admit NL is way better

 

[oath2order]

NL blows WW out of the water

Wild world was my first animal crossing game and back then, I thought it was the most amazing thing ever, I spent ages playing it and was so amazed every time I found something new to do. However now I go back to it, even though it has tons of nostalgic value and I still like to visit my old town, I just can't get into it the sma endow I have played New Leaf. Sure I loved the simplicity of the old games, just a villager moving into a new town like all the other villagers, and it was entertaining and funny to go and run a ton or errands for Tom Nook but I just feel like New Leaf has so much more depth to it. Sure being the mayor complicates things a bit more, but what is wrong with that? It has added SO many new features and it encourages you even more to keep playing and to go on every day to get badges and never miss events and to meet the characters, new and old. I stands out well from the previous titles and I personally think that is a good thing. The graphics are much better as well obviously but that is just due to improved technology so I can let that go lol! Also with the new amiibo update for New Leaf, even though it is obviously just trying to get us to spend more money on amiibos and cards haha, it will add even more to the game and bring back old characters which I just love the idea of.
Basically if you prefer a more simplistic version of animal crossing, you will probably prefer wild world, but I think most people like all of the added features and things to do as the game basically never ends and you just keep discovering new things!
I should also mention that since the wifi connection for wild world is shut off now, a lot of the features are not available so that's a bummer. I still prefer new leaf though!

Generally I loathe New Leaf's artstyle and most of its music, plus the mayor feature was limited, Tortimer had way more control than what you can do as mayor in New Leaf. I know this may sound strange, but I appreciate Wild World more, especially since it had the best villager dialogue. Had its online features not be shut down, I wouldn't be playing New Leaf at all.

 

[furbyq]

Wild World was the first AC I played obsessively, but New Leaf has so many more features that I have to pick that one.

 

[Buttonsy]

Both are good, but New Leaf is absolutely the better game imo

 

[kingblook]

I never had Wild World, but I have City Folk. I prefer New Leaf way more, but.. When I had City Folk, I was also like 8 years old. I didn't really know what I was doing, lmao. But to me, New Leaf has a lot more things to do! Plus you can add whatever you want to the town because you're the mayor. There are so many different projects to build and so many different things to do with your house. You can make your town a lot more YOU, so I gotta go with New Leaf being the better game!
