I'm a huuuuuuuuge fan of this game. I play at least an hour or two a day. I almost wish I never got it, though, because it's become addicting in a negative way. I've become so attached to my villagers & the quest to prevent them from moving that it causes stress & anxiety. :trazz:

These are my villagers-

Oh my god though, I completely understand; those are great villagers.

Also yo I play this occasionally. FC's 1907-8658-4457 and I'll add anybody, just let me know!

You've got the dragon!! That's the coolest villager of ALL THE GAME!

I quited the game because I lost one of my most beloved villagers and getting the ones you really like is a nightmare.
I had a room decorated like the power ranger headquarters (yes, there are different color Power Ranger suit on this game) and a Mr. Miyagi inspired bonsai room.

Fishing and collecting fossils was fun, but a serious and planed village design is simply too tedious for me and a new villager coming to the town can ruin all your work.

Finally me and my girl decided to resell it and now are extremly happy with Fantasy Life ^___^

I played daily until my ds broke earlier in the summer. Can't wait to get my new XL this month and get back to my town!

Haha, he's definitely a standout villager! I love Drago so much. That lazy personality really suits him. Man, I'd definitely quit if I lost Coco, she's my favorite, with Walt being a close second. Losing them would suuuuuuuck. I've pretty much had the same villagers since the beginning, so even the ones I like less are special to me. Bummed me out for a good long while when Rodney unexpectedly left. I miss that blue hamster. :cry:

My rooms are themed, but not rooted in pop culture. The main one is sort of a bedroom inspired by stuff I like, lots of purple, the bathroom is traditional Japanese, the attic is an arcade full of games & toys, the basement is a laboratory, got a 1950's diner styled kitchen in back, & a showroom where I keep trophies, villagers pics, rare items, etc. My museum is mostly for storage but I've got a Nintendo/Undersea room, as well as a Breaking Bad themed room.

I feel you on the planned village thing, but I recently wanted to rekindle the flame a little bit & started dedicating time to sprucing the place up. I actually really got into the groove of things & now I've got awesome gardens & themed portions of the town, as well as a stone path throughout. I really enjoy maintaining it all now, & growing gold roses/jacob's ladders feels great.

[sdp]

I've posted this a few times before but I lost interest in New Leaf after my file got corrupted for no reason and I lost everything I had. I've tried to get back into it but I just can't after that, it didn't help that I had already gotten tired of the game before that. I also can't see myself getting into another AC unless there's more changes. NL was good as a perfection of the original formula but I'd want something more, it'd be neat if they combined Tomodachi Life with AC somehow.

Anywho, in New Leaf villagers leave all the ****ing time, sometimes after not picking the game up for 2 weeks and every neighbor was new in the Gamecube game it took a while to get another villager and it was a big event. And while I hated when some of my favorite villagers left, I didn't like that I had the ability to choose in NL because that is part of the charm of the original game, life is bitter sweet and sometimes you lose things you like but in AC while you may get a neighbor you don't like you also get to meet others you might like more. I really hope there's an AC for the Wii U that can rekindle my love for the franchise.

[Netkeeper]

Man, I'm generally unhappy with most of my villagers and I can't get any of them to leave. :lol: Luckily it isn't a make-or-break thing for me with Animal Crossing. The only villagers I really like are Cookie, Astrid, and Lucky [I currently have none of these] but I'm not all that concerned about getting them/keeping them. I'm just working on completing the fossil collection first and foremost.

[Peanut]

I have to say that all these years later I'm still upset about my all-time favourite villager being cut after the GC game.

Godspeed, Twirp! You wonderful grouchy bastard! You bitter old loner,all alone on the hill in acre D-1. I miss you. :(

In the stage of the game I left it, my house was japanese themed mostly, but not exclusively. Main room was a living room with some Go games and oriental decoration. On the atic I had all the golden items, like an aztec temple. Left was the family antiques room, with the armor and sword collection, samurai and geisha mannequin and sort of things. Left was the bonsai room, with a bed and a workshop table for Mr. Miyagi and the tea wall decoration item (loved that item). Sometimes I choose Mr. Miyagi as my own mee to take some pictures =^_^=

For the bottom room I wanted something special, so the door was normally blocked by a japanese folding screen. If you were invited to my town I'd remove it so you could see the Power Rangers hideout, with all the space items customized in blue and the mannquins on all ranger costumes. This was actually the first room I considered finished, as I got all the items rom the space set and futuristic set, lots of computers and stuff. The 3D projector looked fantastic in the middle...

As you can see I put some energy on it, so when I started to loose villagers I knew the mechanics of the game would break my heart unless I exclusively played just AC, and I wasn't gonna do that.

I'll try to upload some pics if I find them on my DS so you can see.

[TonySiegel]

I have this guy in my village (been playing the game for three days now)...

I guess he's cool looking...

I enjoyed playing New Leaf for a few months, but it got boring after that and I stopped playing.

[sdp]

Well I read that this was the last month for the Animal Crossing Plaza and what was going to be a 4 minute visit ended up being a 40 minute visit posting on all my ex-neighbors I could find. I don't understand why the service is shutting down, its a neat and doesn't cost them anything since its just text messages like any other forum...I mean you'll still be able to access the plaza and view messages just not post..

It also reminded me how much I like some of the characters in the series, I almost want to re-start my 3DS game and want a spectacular Wii U version.

[Mellie]

I played this so much when it first came out. Now I haven't touched it in months.
My favorite villager is Gruff-

I hope he didn't move out :ohwell:

[Netkeeper]

Yeah, I haven't touched it much lately myself, partly because of my nocturnal schedule not co-operating with the gameplay. But I figure once I'm ready to pick it back up I'll restart my town and turn the clock 12 hours behind or ahead so I can do all my daily stuff at night.

[Powder]

Given how badly this game has messed my life up I don't even wanna think about another one coming for Wii-U, no matter how dope it seems.

[Peanut]

I got back in when I got my new XL and I haven't missed more than a day so far. I play at least once every morning during my morning coffee at work and once or twice a week I'll maybe do some stuff at night. At least the scheduling in this game isn't as mean as the stuff they had you do in the Gamecube version. Waking up at like 6 am everyday in the summer for aerobics class or whatever. also

I'm happy with my town right now, cause I had two of the most annoying villagers finally move out - Rhonda and Twiggy. I disliked them based on their house placement, which totally screwed up my town layout. Stitches just moved in and he's awesome!

I'd die for a Wii U version, although I think it might be a bit too early for that.

[snake]

I used to really play this game. Like 3 or 4 hours a day. I lost track eventually. I might start up again though.

[Lou 500]

I haven't really touched the game for a few weeks now but I could do with some 3DS friends in general: 1091-9920-6104

[monsterocket]

Why haven't they made this game for Wii U? It would be so good to play online with other people...

[chrisdude]

Why haven't they made this game for Wii U? It would be so good to play online with other people...It's just a matter of time, since they make one for every system. I'm ready for it, though...

[Peanut]

New Leaf came out in late 2012 in Japan and mid 2013 in the rest of the world, so I still think it's a way too early. So far the space between AC games is around 4 years, though the turnaround on City Folk was about 3 years following Wild World. New Leaf hasn't even been out for two years in most of the world and in Japan it's only been two years as of November.

Considering the potential lifespan of the Wii U, we might see Nintendo try to get one out in the next year, but I doubt it. I wouldn't be totally surprised to see it announced later this year though.

[raph27]

Got this game for Christmas and I'm totally addicted. This game is so cute! Finally got the hang of fishing, still terrible at catching bugs. I find it pretty funny that you find money by shaking trees. Another thing I love is the little noises the animals make after they say things.

[TonySiegel]

[raph27]

I love that just when you think you know your town completely, you always discover fun new things. Just realized the fortune cookies give you stuff. So now I have the Master Sword in my house, which is pretty sweet. This game is so much more expansive than Tomodachi Life.

[Prowler]

I played the GameCube one daily back in 2012 for several months. It was fun and addicting. My favourite villager was Tom, a blue cat. I haven't checked my GC village since... 2013? 2014?

As for New Leaf, it's nice to have an AC game in a portable console. I downloaded it from the eShop since this way I can access it any time I want to, and that's very practical in a game like this. My favourite villager thus far is Ace, a mouse obsessed with lifting weights and exercising in general. I also like Whitney, a female wolf, but rumours say she's planning on leaving my village.

Most of the time I just sell stuff in stores and donate to the local museum. I like how in this game, you're the mayor and can pass some ordinances and build stuff. I'm currently on the way of building a new bridge, so that I don't have to run around half of the village to travel from my house to the main district. :lol: And speaking of that, I think I preferred how each store and public building was spread throughout the city, even if having most of them(except the recycling place) on the same street is probably more practical.

So yeah, this is the type of game that's a long term investment. Plus, you'll always miss at least an event or two per year since you'll either sleep in during weekends or will be busy with real life to attend an Animal Crossing event/party. So that's a good way to add replay value to a game like this. I dunno why, but even if it can be quite repetitive at times, AC titles always seem to grab you. I really should write more letters to my neighbours, though. But it gets annoying writing letters often where you gotta pretty much write like a kindergarten student. Then again, collecting furniture is part of the game and they'll gift you a piece of furniture you don't have yet if they really like your letter.

How good is Home Designer, btw? Sucks that New Leaf isn't compatible with the Amiibos and cards. I really like those, but I won't buy HD for it. I mean, was there really a need for an AC game exclusively dedicated to home designing? You could already do that in previous AC titles...

I bought it a while back (Target had it 50% off) and I actually like it a fair amount. House designing is so much easier now, plus you can do stuff you can't in New Leaf like placing items on the ceiling and outside the house. Plenty of replayability if you like designing homes. And the seemingly endless amount of amiibo cards adds to that total. If you're a big fan of New Leaf I'd say go for it.

(Plus if you buy it right now, you can get the free DLC villager Claude, who gives you Nintendo store displays, a giant Game Boy, and some Nintendo systems.)

It also has the advantage of being bundled with the amiibo reading device for the 3DS.

[Prowler]

Here are my current villagers. I think I finally have a group I'm mostly OK with:

Boomer
Butch
Chrissy
Flurry
Hippeaux
Kid Cat
Melba
Phil
Rod

I'm not a big fan of Flurry but other than that, I'm fine with my current crop of villagers.

[raph27]

Aw, I loved Flurry so much! I was really sad when she left.

[Prowler]

Aw, I loved Flurry so much! I was really sad when she left.
It's not that I hate her or anything. She's just my least favorite of the current villagers.

My least favorites ever thus far were Harry(hippo) and Apple(squirrel). Didn't like them at all. I kinda regret letting Whitney(wolf) go. I liked her.

[Powder]

I miss Flurry too. :(

Despite my obsessive daily efforts, I lost a bunch of villagers to holiday/event mix ups.

Of the original crew I still have:

-Coco
-Walt
-Drago
-Teddy
-Gwen

& the new blood consists of:

-Peewee
-Beaux
-Phoebe
-Zell

& I just lost Pango, who was pretty new herself.

I've never lost a villager on A New Leaf out of the blue. They always announce they plan on moving and I decide whether I want them to stay or not. Sometimes, when you say you don't care they end up staying, though.

I think Boomer is the only original I have left. But Rod and Butch have been there for so long(since like the 5th day I built the village) that I pretty much consider them originals already. Same for Phil.

I haven't checked my GameCube town in like 3 years, it's probably full of weeds now, but I hope my next door neighbour, Tom(blue cat) is still there. He was my biggest friend. Butch(dog) reminds me a lot of Tom in dog form. He's also the villager I'm the closest to. Rod(jocky mouse) also seems to love me.

[raph27]

The originals I still have are Lucha and Bud, everyone else is new. I miss Zell and Limberg.

[Prowler]

My originals were Boomer, Harry, Whitney, Apple... and I don't remember who else. Although I believe Hippeaux might have been there since the beginning as well. No idea if there was anyone else or if you start the game with just 5 villagers.

Since then Muffy and Shari came to my village but left rather quickly. I don't believe Muffy lasted a week even.

Afaik, the villagers in my GameCube game, the last time I played were Tom, Peaches, Olivia, Rasher, Iggy, Carmen and another one or two I'm possibly forgetting.

[sdp]

The free update is live is anyone replaying AC?

As I've mentioned before my save file got corrupted for no reasona nd haven't felt like playing since. I thought the new update would get me to play it but while I think it's awesome it feels like AC "We need to sell the overstock of amiibo" New Leaf. And this is the type of amiibo functionality that I dislike since I don't want to own a bunch of AC amiibo just to have new content. And also since I don't have a new N3DS and I don't plan on buying the base since it's likely near the same price to just sell my 3DS and buy a N3DS for the price of the adapter then I can't even access the few amiibo I do own on the game.

I felt New Leaf made some things too easy/gave too much power to the player, part of what makes AC so great is you never knew or controlled the aspects of your village because life is not something you control. So while having a village full of cats or your favorite villagers is awesome I feel it's cheating. And while it's neat to have Epona, Ganon and Wolf Link in the game it also doesn't seem to fit with the franchise in general. We didn't need that fan service here. I know I'm being grouchy but I feel this update also means no new AC for a while besides the mobile game and I hope the mobile game is good but also something different from a mainline AC game.

[Wesley]

Started playing this game for the first time in 3 years recently after installing the Amiibo update so I’m a little rusty. Everything seems to be the way I left it. No villagers moved out I think.

Anyone playing Animal Crossing Pocket Camp for mobile?

So far It's cute, it's far from the full AC experience but it def. scratches the itch and is more appealing than AC Home Designer which was released last year I think.

[Prowler]

Does anyone still play this? I got back to this game recently. Anyone would like to exchange friend codes so we could visit each others' towns?

[Ninjinister]

I was playing it almost daily at the end of '16 and through much of '17 until I got the Switch... which is why I'm still disappointed there hasn't been an AC Switch announcement yet.

I was surprised to find out this game still has a very active communities, so it's not hard to find people to visit your town and vice-versa.

The game is from 2012 already, so it'd odd there's no announced AC Switch game yet. But they can they take their time if that means we're getting an even better game than New Leaf.

Only played the GameCube game and New Leaf, which apparently are considered the two best entries in the series.

[Wesley]

Used to play this game every now and then until I got tired of it for good a few months ago. I’ve only played the GameCube game and New Leaf as well.

And now we have AC Switch confirmation! And Isabelle in Smash.

Gonna have to dig out the 3DS next year still though for Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn.
