good primer for capitalism as a kid
Very very formative for the time it came out, and in many ways still the only place to get its particular brand of Vibe. The lil island you go to with the Game Boy adapter cable was such a strangely calming place, its difficult to describe the feeling it gave me as a kid. Very affecting.
I played animal crossing for the first time on a rainy, windy day on a small crt on the original GameCube while listening to jazz.
that memory alone makes this game great

Some of my best gaming memories were playing this game.
the second WORST animal crossing
My first Animal Crossing, possibly still the one I spent the most time with. Very charming, very peaceful. Occasionally throwing down a major attitude, ha! Found the old memory card a while back to check in on things and villagers were mad as hell about me not showing up for 160 months or thereabouts. Had gyroids all over the house-- a general cacophony!
Animal Crossing for the GameCube is one absolutely brimming with charm, aesthetic and humor that is somewhat held back by its many "first game" issues and repetitive content improved in newer titles.
better than new horizons.
This game is so special to me! Potentially inspired my love for the whole genre. This installment is still probably my favorite to this day and I honestly am itching to go back and play this one again. Immaculate vibes, so relaxing and incredibly nostalgic for me.
The best Animal Crossing. This one meant so much to me growing up in a rural area with few friends.
Getting the gold statue after paying off your home was such an accomplishment. Staying up until 8 PM on Saturdays to hear KK Slider was worth it every time. The little dance you do every loan payoff was worth it.
This game is worth it!

One of the only games my sister would play with me lol
gosh the villagers are so mean, i LOVE it
Remember when Animal Crossing had soul?
I like this entry a lot purely for the grid-based town layout and how insanely mean the neighbors are. The amount of vitriol and spite everyone throws at you loops back from being awful to genuinely some of the funniest shit I've seen in a Nintendo game.
The limited storage space, multiple in-game days it takes to get shit done, and far slower pacing does make this a lot more antiquated over the later entries. That said, this is still worth a look because the vibe is immaculate.

You can play mario 3
still holds up, and has the best villagers in the series. they are just so joyously and frustratingly unpredictable. outside of the menu being a nightmare to use (handhelds have really spoilt me) and the graphics not being that great this game is still one of the best in the series. it has so many little quirks and charms not seen in any of the others, and feels like the one the devs had the most fun making. they are experimenting, and inviting you into that experimentation with a cosy warm hug. i love it.
This one has NES games
I played this one for a bit, not nearly as much as future titles.
Soundtrack goes hard
Sometimes simple is better! Animal Crossing pushes the limits of the Gamecube with a fully immersive life simulator, complete with (not always so friendly) neighbors of all types! Animal Crossing is about taking what's given to you and adapting your town to what you want, and though it caries more limitations than it's successors, I feel that brings some charm to it. Don't be fooled though, the game's witty writing and diologue is drastically different from later entries, and that alone makes this title worth a go, even for series veterans!

There's so much soul in this game. The dialogue is hilarious.
It's favor-based game loop wraps the whole thing up. It gives a constant sense of purpose and serves as a catalyst for you to discover this game's many systems and activities, be it due to the requirements of the favors themselves or the little things on the village that will catch your eye while you're fulfilling them. On top of that, this game's main objectives (namely, paying your house and completing the museum) are all crystal clear and big enough to really make you look forward to them, while letting you slowly progress on them over the days, months or even years. If that wasn't enough, this game stablished one of Nintendo's most special and charming worlds and cast of characters, in a way that gives your village a strong sense of place, be it because of the well-written characters, the periodic events or the wide (though not overwhelming) array of activities you can spend your time on.
My brother deleted my save file after I got 100% in like 2005 and I still haven't forgiven him.
this is the best animal crossing game ever made i don't make the rules
I WILL cry a single, manly tear listening to the ost. The childlike whimsy is off the charts.
