it's cute and you get to put furniture in your house

It's basically a game about nothing, but instead of hilarious antics involving a group of four friends it's just boring.

Oh wow, you're in for a surprise then heh.. I definitely, have a ton of extra past seasonal/Nintendo items you can have once you pick your town.

Rune Factory is solid. Dragon Quest Builders is fun too, and I typically hate the genre.

And again, you can reuse the old topic FC format with @'s, so maybe you'll snag some of the older players all over again hah. xD

Ouch.. I remember it was touted as AC's possible successor.

Okay, just send me a PM when you get it; I know it's on iCloud.
Now I just need to update the cart and clean up my town before it sees visitors lol.. As we had items littered all over the beach, last I checked.

I used to play the shit out of it when I was 12.

I've since tried to replay it, and for the life of me I cannot figure out what I used to do to fill time in that game. There's just nothing to do.

I had an awesome town in new leaf. Had like 400 blue roses, blue pansies or whatever lining my town with blue hibiscus. I guess it's obvious what my favorite color is. Had customized a personalized pathway leading to every house and important location, had my favorite neighbir's and refused to let them leave. Had 4 fully upgraded houses, each with their own theme, completed the museum and fully upgraded every store.

I ended up buying a bigger sd card for downloading more games, then after getting a bunch, I realized my town was saved on the other card. Most of the games I had saved on the old card got deleted and I didn't want to deal with losing my current games and switching back to a full card in hopes of retrieving my town. So it's either just gone, or in limbo somewhere. I made a new town several times on the new card, but never got invested again like I did with the first one.

I also agree that Fantasy Life is great too, got a ton of playtime from that one as well. Final Fantasy Explorers is good too. It's like a mix of monster hunter, final fantasy, and kind of feels like a combat focused animal crossing even though there's not really any customization outside of combat.

It's a complete waste of time.

Yup!
Maybe it was because back in the day I had a GBA link cable and I got to go to that sweet sweet island.

I just pulled out the GC the other night and played Animal Crossing. One of the characters said it had been 11 years since she had seen me. :(

Living in a town full of animal people is a massive fantasy for me but there's almost nothing to do in Animal Crossing games, like it's so lackluster and boring sometimes. There's tons of wasted potential in them.
