Much the same as my thoughts on the Gamecube version, but the features and additions in this really make it the definitive early Animal Crossing game, without question. I know the translation project has become more about decomp so we'll need to be (extremely) patient, but even the great work cuyler did in translating as much of the game as we have was greatly appreciated in helping me to see a fraction of this gem. Can't recommend this enough for enthusiasts, but the English Gamecube version will still do for newcomers.
