Animal Crossing

Animal Crossing

Released2002
Occasionally strange but completely addictive, Nintendo's Animal Crossing for the GameCube is not so much a game as a simulation of life on a small town. Players begin the game by setting out to live life on their own in a colorful town, where they are greeted by a seemingly endless supply of things to do and characters to meet. Time passes in Animal Crossing in real-time, as the month, day, season, and time of day matches that of the player's. Holiday seasons come and go in Animal Crossing, just as they would in the real world. Experience the freedom to fish, decorate your house, go bug catching, garden, write letters, and even play original Nintendo NES games in this imaginative, and addictive game.

About This Game

Finally striking out on their own, a young boy or girl boards a train bound for a new life in a small village inhabited by sentient, humanoid animals. But being a spirited youth, the child has forgotten one small detail — finding a place to live — and arrives with nothing but the clothes on their back and 1,000 Bells. On the train, a friendly cat named Rover strikes up a conversation and, learning of the child's predicament, calls ahead to his old friend Tom Nook to arrange some help once they reach the village.
