The lack of portability really hurt the staying power of this entry in the series for me. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed what few novelties it brought to the table and it's still an Animal Crossing game at heart, it just wasn't meaningfully distinguishable from its much more convenient prequel and sequel.
In 9th grade I broke my index finger playing dodgeball. I did catch the ball that broke my finger. I went to the doctor a month later (my family thought it was jammed) and they explained I had to have surgery. We bought this game for my recovery, and I played it occasionally for 4 more years. Every time I played I thought about my broken finger. I completed the fish in the museum, which was my pride and joy.
Maybe it's just my memories, but this AC has a very special place in my heart.
It may not be the best Animal Crossing game of all time (that's probably New Leaf), but I remember how much fun I had playing it back in the days.
I don't know how many hours I've spent, but surely all of them were worth it. Also, I could play it together with my mum which makes it even more special to me.
And the soundtrack of the city is the best soundtrack of all Animal Crossing games, period.
If I replayed it nowadays I would almost definitley reduce the rating, but I want to keep the memories alive - so I simply won't pick it up again.

I have a lot of nostalgia for this game and it's honestly very special to me. With that being said there just isn't a lot of content in this game and it will get boring quickly (and I mean this when compared to other Animal Crossing games). The city was a nice touch but not quite enough. This game has a lot of charm though
Not sure how this franchise is so well regarded nowadays. You've experienced everything this game has to offer in a couple hours. The activities get old incredibly fast, there's no incentive to get gold as everything is merely cosmetic, and therefore no incentive to get currency. The villagers are the same 3 people in different bodies, if you can even call them characters. You can barely speak to them twice a day and they either make a pun, say something irrelevant or repeat something they said just a day prior. Interesting concept, awful in every other department. If you want a solid cutesy farm life sim, Stardew Valley is superior in every way.
this game would have been way better if it was something original and wasn't a carbon copy of wild world (apart from the city)
the game actually does some things worse (villagers will never have proper conversations with you, grass deterioration)
granted this game did bring back holidays, a weird removal from wild world
but yeah after unlocking everything in wild world this game felt like a boring and lazy rehash of that game
way less charm, gets boring wayyy faster and i'd take wild world over this one anyday, despite it's graphics
