DS Drought Almost Over

MuGen · 04-13-2005, 04:15 PM

Can someone enlighten me? This isn't a GENERAL DS Bashing, but more of a question.

What is so good about Animal Crossing that it beats every other DS game? I've seen so many people hype about AC and so little about Mario kart DS and other DS games. I just wanna know whats so good about it.

I'll be all over Mario Kart like white on rice big daddy.

But i'll also be all over Nintendogs

The same reason Pokemon dominated handhelds for all these years. Collecting.

Now Animal Crossing is coming out portable, and it's online. It's going to drive a modest amount of sales, at least. And if it doesn't, Pokemon DS is still coming out.

I'm excited for Mario Kart too, but I'm worried how it'll turn out. I don't really like the 3D Mario Karts.

So Animal Crossing is like Pokemon? Collecting Animals?

They really didnt do a good job of answering your question...

AC is like a video game life... the game has no ending to it... just live the life of that person that you can customize...

Starting out, you get an apartment, with a bed and limited collection of clothing, later on with you get a "job", you get money and you can buy stuff. And the game goes on forever, and you cant reset the game to redo a past event, which I think is the coolest thing there is in a game like that...

Thats just generalizing it right there, I personally never played it, but heard good things...

Animal Crossing...best...game...ever. I spent more hours in that game than probably anything else I ever played combined. Will have to finally pick up a DS when this comes out. Cut down my trees and you're a dead man.

I'm cutting down all of your trees.

Every last one.

Animal Crossing was an awesome game with a TON of potential. Hopefully Nintendo does well with the DS version and adds to an already awesome game (considering it was originally only on the N64 in Japan, hence why graphics were sub-par when it came out to the 'Cube).

But in this case, graphics didnt matter when gameplay was great. After the first year I lost alot of interest in AC because of the fact it was repeating itself. But I still consider it one of the greatest GC games.
