My love for the core concept of Animal Crossing came from the GameCube one. Then, I purchased all the games as they launched. I play randomly any of them in no particular order because I find value in each and every of the activities I can have in my various towns and island, watering flowers, decorating, offering presents, I even write letters just for the sake of writing personal things to a random virtual frog I like, for exemple. That's how casual I can be in those cozy games. It is therapeutic, in a way. Villager dialogues in this particular Wii entry are very funny and well written to me, helping them is fun as I encounter them in my walks, and the town is massive in size, cool for gardening. The easy to access, without hack, fan server Wiimmfi to play online, is its strongest feature, as it is for Mario Kart Wii. City Folk was and still is the most multi-player focused entry in the series by far, to me
