Happy Home Designer isn't an "Animal Crossing" game, but like City Folk I still enjoyed it for what it was. I finally have my own house (as well as my basement returning), maxing out Nook's shop no longer forced you to buddy up with somebody (at the time, I could not find somebody to shop in my shop on Wild World), etc.

It's even the first portable Animal Crossing game that actually impressed me.Ĭity Folk may have been underwhelming in some areas, but I still enjoyed it for giving me the Animal Crossing game I've been craving for that Wild World never gave to me.

New Leaf is otherwise my definitive pick if I were to rank the series based on its improvements, especially with the Welcome amiibo update that made a HUGE difference compared to the still-amazing base version. New Horizons might have something to say about it being my new favorite game, though.

I really miss the forest vibe that this game had that the later games lacked for me. Sure, the later entries improved upon its many mechanics, but in this case simplicity goes a long way. Which, as we're sure you've guessed by now, it incredibly manages to do.Įnjoyed this lovely list?

Nearly 8 years on, Animal Crossing: New Horizons on Switch has a lot of work to do to surpass this. It might not have been HD, but New Leaf was a fine looking game and with the 3D slider set to max, it had never been easier to get lost in your little town. It's also easy to forget the system's patented 3D effect which made the world more enticing than ever. Taking advantage of 3DS' SpotPass feature, you could nose around the houses of players you passed on the street and order their furniture if a piece took your fancy. These changes were facilitated by your delightful doggy assistant Isabelle, a tireless public servant on hand to take care of the day-to-day office tasks while you go about your important mayoral duties like beach-combing, fishing, shaking trees and bothering bees. Rather than start you off under the yoke of Tom Nook, New Leaf made you mayor of the town and gave you municipal power to mould the place to your liking like never before. Release Date: 9th Jun 2013 ( USA) / 14th Jun 2013 ( UK/EU)Īnimal Crossing: New Leaf took everything from its handheld predecessor and polished it to the Nth degree. Shocking, then, that there's another entry (two, in fact) we'd rather play. Subsequent entries might have polished its systems and sanded off Wild World's rough edges, but the magic of the series shone brightly on DS and when someone mentions Animal Crossing, it's the title theme of this game which pops into our mind. With intuitive use of the touch screen and the day-night cycle reflected in the sky permanently visible on the top screen, this is where many people began their love affair with the series. Portability made the world accessible in a whole new way and opened up its joys to the masses who embraced the Nintendo DS. Having your village with you on-the-go made a world of difference to many players and enabled you to check turnip prices in bed, water your plants on your way to work, or make sure your favourite animal friend wasn't packing their bags on your lunch break.


Taking the base foundation and adding sweet, sweet portability, Animal Crossing: Wild World was the perfect game on the perfect platform. Release Date: 5th Dec 2005 ( USA) / 31st Mar 2006 ( UK/EU)
