Occasionally strange but completely addictive, Nintendo's Animal Crossing for the GameCube is not so much a game as a simulation of life on a small town. Players begin the game by setting out to live life on their own in a colorful town, where they are greeted by a seemingly endless supply of things to do and characters to meet.
Time passes in Animal Crossing in real-time, as the month, day, season, and time of day matches that of the player's. Holiday seasons come and go in Animal Crossing, just as they would in the real world. Experience the freedom to fish, decorate your house, go bug catching, garden, write letters, and even play original Nintendo NES games in this imaginative, and addictive game.

Decided to fire up my GameCube to play a bit of this for the first time in a year and a half. The old Animal Crossing games didn't fuck around with the density of the weeds that grow over your town. Ended up weeding for like an hour I think tonight. It was too late to interact with animals or …
Decided to fire up my GameCube to play a bit of this for the first time in a year and a half. The old Animal Crossing games didn't fuck around with the density of the weeds that grow over your town. Ended up weeding for like an hour I think tonight. It was too late to interact with animals or shop anyway.
Now to do the same in Wild World...

I finished all the little errands for Tom Nook and now I'm supposed to talk to the villagers to get new tasks but nobody seems to have anything for me? 🤷
I guess I don't really get the game. Probably not for me.

Started playing again. One of my only real complaints is that 14 of your 15 villagers are "permanent" with the 15th being the only one that rotates unless you travel by train. Luckily it's fairly easy to show your saves over the internet now to travel thanks to homebrew/emulators. I feel like seeing other peoples' towns is a key part …

Luckily it's fairly easy to show your saves over the internet now to travel thanks to homebrew/emulators. I feel like seeing other peoples' towns is a key part of the experience as well so I'm glad I can experience that without having to find people locally who play.

Been playing this game for about a month and a half, I'm not playing regularly everyday but what's happening in the game keeps me coming back.
the Villagers literally keeps trolling me for not playing the game so often, and some of them are like "bruh go back to where you came from we don't know you".
seriously this game …

Am I the only one who wasn't aware of this? I now get to live out my day like an AC resident!
The customisation for an extension is amazing. You can select the particular AC game and weather, you can have Slider songs all the time or just for when he'd play in the games on a Saturday, and …

OK, think I"m done with this. It's pretty cool, but soon I'm gonna make a consistent effort into The Sims and maybe Stardew Valley. I'd like to take up a life simulation game to play "forever" now and then, and those have more depth.

I've never played any of these before for more than a few minutes, so I'll be giving this a go for a while.

The modt influential game I've ever played in my life. This game shaped me.
The music?? I STILL just put on the soundtrack when I'm working or just need to de-stress. It's beautiful and absolutely flawless.

Sure they made improvements to the core game in each new iteration, but for what it was, back then, there was nothing else like it and it kept me going for a solid 500+ hours.
