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.
The original Animal Crossing is one of those weirdo games that completely clicked with individuals due to its cute and unique visuals, iconic sound design, and hilarious dialogue between the villagers.
This game has some of my favorite soundtracks in the AC series, and easily the best dialogue in the whole series. Each villager talks to you in a unique way, and manages to make the game not feel like a bunch of CPU's walking around a field.
Such a wild and different video game on such a great console. The type of game to wake your mom up at 2AM on a school night, then on the weekend will help cure your boredom.
The best of friends will joke with you, get you in some trouble, and get back to having some fun with you like nothing ever happened. Animal Crossing truly is a good friend.

Weird as fuck, way more than any Animal Crossing game released afterward. Probably the reason why I consider it my favorite one even if "objectively" speaking New Leaf and New Horizons both offer a much more long and complete experience.
But it's just fun to just talk to those assholes animals, getting told to fuck off most of the time, and every once in a while being told a philosophical thought about life and friendship.
Also fuck yeah, please let me deliver half a dozen of stuff to other villagers daily !! Make me work ! Peak Animal Crossing gameplay right here !

Villagers in this are the most robotic they've ever been. It's hard for me to feel like I'm in a cozy town with all these characters when they run out of dialogue in less than a week of playing. You can't really build a relationship with them, it doesn't matter if you're the meanest or the nicest person as soon as you leave the screen they will forget everything that happened. In practice there's only 6 different possible villagers since every other villager with the same personality type is just a different texture. A lot of the events in the game you can't even engage on them and just stand there watching, and the ones you can participate are usually annoying (Halloween being a prime example).
