in the past


I actually like this one a lot more than the new ones. But it's probably just that gamecube charm that I love so much.

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.

Su aura, su música, su sencillez... Ah, e incluía juegos de NES completos sin cobrarte una suscripción online por ello, ¿qué te parece?

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 !


Animal Grossing on Gamecube is a spectacle, so heart warming to play. Villagers we're always awesome to interact with. Something about it just hits...

this has multiple nes games in it so it gets a higher score than the very comparable wild world because you can play better games through this one

Me and my friend shared a house. I wonder where he is these days

this has too many fond memories attatched to it i can't speak the slightest slander to it. if u played this u alright.

O melhor da franquia. Tudo sobre esse jogo é muito divertido e bem feito, saudade de quando os villagers falavam coisas divertidas e contribuiam para a gameplay.

Totally impossible to separate this game from my soul.

When I was very young, my cousin brought her Gamecube to Thanksgiving with at our Great Aunt's house, and I remember watching her play this and playing a bit myself. It didn't totally grab me then, but it set me up to fall hard for Wild World and New Leaf.

Had a lot of fun with this as a kid, especially collecting old NES games.

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).

Nostalgia bias, don't care, best game in the series

Played it a ton as a kid, and playing it again recently has brought back good memories. Very solid entry in the series.

The flame shirt is the shirt for real gamers

I miss when villagers called you a bitch

i love the blockiness of the graphics... how hard u work to get on everyone's good side... etc.

If I played this when it first came out, I bet I would have liked it. Unfortunately, I didn't.

I loved this game when it came out. I played it for months and months. It was perfect in that I could play for 5 minutes or an hour at a time. I just really liked the idea of this game and it's emphasis on real world time and events.

if video games were food, this would be a very filling and nourishing bowl of chicken noodle soup. maybe it's nothing showstopping or outlandish, but it's something that will give you a warmth that very few things on earth can.

Mighty comfy, really good for it's time. 6/10


i still have my town from 2001 with my sister and my house we used to play this all night long on weekends when we were supposed to be asleep and play the nes games like warios woods late into the night w. just the glow of the crt and the crickets chirping outside :)

While I love the improvements other games in the series have made there is something magically unique about this game. I rarely have time to play this game these days, but I’ll always want to come back and play it again

the first animal crossing game, but still more complete than new horizons. also the villagers in this game aren't afraid to have a go at you :)
