[Kid Icarus]

Anyone here have this game? If so, anyone wanna trade items ^_^. I need a Plesio Torso for the museum. i can also use any extra NES games. let me know what you need and i'll try to find it.

um... lets see. to make this discussable:
talk about the animals in your village, or what ever.

YES. Its better if you have friends with the game so you can visit their village and piss off the animals there (whap them with the bug net ;) ).

Their's NES games you can get in it too (including the first Zelda and Mario, Punch-Out, Donkey Kong (1, Jr. and 3), Excitebike, Pinball, Ballon Fight, and Ice Climbers. Theirs a lot more though.

Its a weird game, but if you put some time in to it, it can be really fun.

[cqb101]

Cool, I might have to pick it up then.

[Kid Icarus]

gah! i take it no one on here has this game... :(.

Oh well. Um, Mods, if you wanna delete this topic go ahead.

[cqb101]

Actually the game must be good. It's up for game of the year on G-Phoria.

[liltimmyw]

I have it. I got it last November. Although I stopped playing it a few months ago. It just got really boring after a few months of playing it every day. I may get back into the swing of things over the summer.

[J Legault]

I have the game but I didn't here anything about Legend of Zelda in the Game, is it true.

I'd wait for Animal Crossing 2. At least awhile ago I heard they were working on it. I haven't heard any news on it recently.
But anyway, it is a great game. After you pay off your initial debt to Tom Nook, you are literally free to do whatever you want: Go fishing, talk to people, buy stuff, trade, catch bugs, take a trip to the secret island if you have a GBA, etc.
And the game has several special events where you can get rare items.
And you can even trade with other people using a password system.
But I think Animal Crossing 2 is for online play. We'll have to wait and see.

I've played Animal Crossing a bit, and I thot it was pretty cool, but what the heck is your character sposta be? is it an animal?

And what kind of game would you classify it as? just adventure? hrmm

I think it's in a class of it's own. It's up for most inventive game at G-Phoria.

the dialogue is so annoying, i do like how the game runs is real time though

I've had it since the first day it was out and I still play it every day. When you can play a game for entire year you know it's well worth your money. There's a ton of different events through out the year. Like this month there's a fishing tourney every sunday. It got kind of dead in the winter because there weren't any events but you could always build snowmen and play games with your friends in igloos. I've got a couple NES games. Some can't be traded and I'm sure the same goes for the plesio torso. There are five games that can (as of now) only be received by using an Action Replay. Those games consist of Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros., Ice Climbers, Punch-Out, and The Legend of Zelda. Mario Bros and Ice Climbers are available on e-cards already. Then theres a couple NES games that can only be obtained from the offical AC site. For the last half of a year they've only allowed you to get Soccer. They had Clu Clu Land D and Donkey Kong 3 on there but they're gone now. Tell me what NES games you have. I'll see if I've got any you don't have! :wink:

liltimmyw: Try playing it again. I gave it a break for a few months, and started up towards the begining of the month. I'm a full blown addict again :lol: .

TMNH: Your a human. The game is a "Communication" game, or so says Miyamoto. It's listed everywhere as a sim, but that dosen't fit it too well.


ExciteBike
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong Jr.
Donkey Kong 3
Clu Clu Land d
Clu Clu Land
Pinball
Baloon Fight
Soccer
Golf
Wario's Woods

I can get DK math using a universal code, but im gonna be trading a Baloon Fight for it soon, if the guy ever gives me his names.

I'm also looking for the Blue furniture series... my HRA rating is pretty low.

[Oxnard Hamster]

I'd classify it as a sim. After all, don't you do pretty much the same thing in The Sims? In both, you take control of a character and live his or her life.

[Peanut]

Not really. In the sims you control a persons life. In AC you control YOUR life. I'll give you DK JR Math for free if you want it. Just give me your info and I'll send it to you.

[Oxnard Hamster]

Not really. In the sims you control a persons life. In AC you control YOUR life.

What? I don't count as a person? And that's not me. I would never wear that stupid hat with the horns. WTF is up with that, anyway? :o

[The Defibrillator]

I had the same question......

But yeah, in the Sims, your sim has a mind of its own and can do things of its own free will. In Animal Crossing, the dude is YOU.

[Oxnard Hamster]

But yeah, in the Sims, your sim has a mind of its own and can do things of its own free will.
Didn't know that. Now it makes sense. Well, wouldn't AC be a life sim then?

[The Defibrillator]

a life sim? whazzat?

In AC you control EVERYTHING your dude does. he can't do anything without you.

GWGT, what are some other "communication" games? I've never heard of the genre before.

[Peanut]

I'm pretty sure that's because AC is the only one in it's category. A sim is usually something that tries to re-create an experience to it's best ability. ie a flying sim, a driving sim, a life sim (the Sims). AC isn't trying to simulate anything. That's why Nintendo calls it a communication game. You communicate with the animals of your village. The many visitors, shop keeper, post office worker, police force etc.

[Oxnard Hamster]

AC isn't trying to simulate anything.
Yeah it is! It's ummm.... what life would be like if you lived in a forest full of animals with human characteristics. And what life would be like if you could do pretty much whatever you wanted when you wanted. Yeah, that's it. :lol:

[JameO]

Yeah but Animal Crossing is not even close to simulating what it is like to live in a forest. :lol: You talk to animals....and have a store that sells some stuff. Just not like real life....not simulating just made up...

Heh Alright. Sounds like a plan :wink:

[Peanut]

Anyone who have the game have all or most of the paintings? I need only 4 more I think. I want to get them so all I'll have left to finish off is the fish.
