Ok, so I got Animal Crossing: Wild World last week. At first, I thought, 'Yeah this game is OK but I wont play it alot.' and I didnt. About 2 days ago, I played it again and became addicted suddenly... wow! I got instantly addicted to it and ended up playing it till... 11 pm. So, i'm now playing Animal Crossing heaps, at least 8 hours a day... I only get off it to play mario kart, or do a few other things. I agree with the world... I dont know why I love it so much, maybe the cute characters? Maybe the ability to do whatever I want? I dont know. But this game is ADDICTING! Not that thats a bad thing or anything, I love playing it, but I dont know why. But I feel i'm missing out, since I dont have wi-fi (and wont for quite some time) and I think 2 of my friends have DS's and 1 can't play his and the other doesnt have AC! Sure, I could convince him to get AC, but I know he wouldent. Hm... maybe I'll just convince some friends to get off their Xbox's and buy a damn DS with AC.
This game is teh Crack. I owned one loooooooooooooong looooooooooooooooooooong ago and I'm still playing it. As the Awesome-esque Egoraptor said: "There is no ending because THIS GAME NEVER EEEENDS" and "OH WHY DO I LOVE IT SO MUCH"
BTW even not entirely impressed i'm gonna buy the AC for the Wii.
Also, welcome to the one of the two harcore gamers' secret obsession. the other one is Viva Piniata. (I have them both. Sick!)
I loved Animal Crossing on the Gamecube, but I was really let down by the DS one after getting so hyped for it. No odd jobs from your neighbors? No NES games? There were a few minor things that really killed the experience for me.
It also made it so you couldn't really play it for hours and continue to find anything of value to do. D:
Yeah I don't know what it was about the game. I didn't find it particularly fun but I couldn't stop playing it either. I had an addiction problem. I was spending hours a day just harvesting fruit to earn money. It was work but with no reward in real life. That's when the drinking problem started...
(Yeah foreign fruit is the way to make the easiest amount of money. Plant a huge orchard of them. At $600 a piece, they add up. Just in case you didn't know.)
I completely agree, this game is my secret obsession. I was addicted to the game for like a year! I could not stop collecting and updating my house. I even desgned a bunch of roads and put them all over my town leading from place to place. God I had so many good times with that game...
Man, i get addicted for like a month after release but after that another game steals away my attention. I kinda want the wii version but there's just too many games coming out, so unfortunately AC got das boot.

You're going to love the Wii version.

I'm afraid to play this game.

Yeah, I've heard alot about the original AC being better than the DS version... I guess I will buy it, City Folk as well when it is released here.
