This was the only game my sister would play with me. We both had our own towns. One time, I went to her town, and noticed a lot of dig spots. I dug up a spot, only to find a lot of money. I did this again, only to find more money. I proceeded to make my sister a beggar in Animal Crossing by stealing all of her money. My mother still brings it up because she made such a stink about it. I have no regrets.
Honestly, I may have strong nostalgia bias but this holds up as the best Animal Crossing game. The graphics are very simple, and old looking but vibrant, colorful and unique. The music is phenomenal and also easily the best in the series so far. The gameplay of course is incredibly relaxing, you never feel rushed to do anything, but there's always something to work towards. I feel like this idea of tasks feeling voluntary and natural instead of like daily chores is something they really nailed and struggled with later in the series. But despite not jumping on you with menial work (besides the first few days working for nook) there's surprisingly deep amounts of content with a plethora of furniture and items, villagers, fish, and more. The game clearly had a lot of heart and effort put into it which really creates a connection while playing it. The real time mechanics are awesome too and they really killed it with making a relaxed atmosphere. Overall, a special game that I'll always love.
I played this game for around 2.5 weeks and I got really bored of it.
The villagers had a lot more character in this game compared to NL and NH, and the game oozes charm and really captures that peaceful, small town feel. Unfortunately, that's about all I can say about this game that's positive.
My main issue with this game are how repetitive daily tasks are, the lack of quality of life features, and the need of owning different consoles/peripherals to unlock certain aspects of the game.
