Loved this game as a kid. Excited to pick it back up while practicing social distancing. Its a very relaxed game and is family friendly. You can have multiple people in the same town, but you have to play at separate times. My siblings, parents and I used to compete to make the town better, make the most money and upgrade our houses. My mom had to set a timer for each of us to take turns playing because we all got so into it(including the adults). I would highly recommend this game!

I'm 23 and I've been a fan of the Animal Crossing series for years. I bought a Wii just for this game and it didn't disappoint. The gameplay on the Wii is, needless to say, very different from the GC and DS versions. It allows you to be a little more interactive with the game (Wiimote motions) which I really like. I feel like I'm doing a bit more than just staring at a screen and toggling joysticks. The downside to the Wii version is you have to point/aim and select items in your inventory with the Wiimote. There's no scrolling through and selecting with the D-pad. You can play this game with or without a nunchuck, but the nunchuck makes it so much easier.

Animal Crossing follows up from its Game Cube and Nintendo DS installments with its best version to date, at the time of its release. It has since been surpassed New Leaf, but it still offers year long playback. One unique aspects of this franchise is that a day in real life is a day in game. With different seasons, weather events, festivals, tournaments, and holidays, there is a reason to log in every day. Upkeep of your town is a daily exercise, as well. Between fishing, digging for fossils, bug collecting, fishing, paying off your house a few times, tree farming, fishing, flower farming, star gazing, relationship building, and fishing, there's plenty to do in your town, and things change monthly. The game is appropriate for all ages, but adventure gamers may not ... MoreAnimal Crossing follows up from its Game Cube and Nintendo DS installments with its best version to date, at the time of its release.
