[WhaBAM]

Who's looking forward to Animal Crossing? OH OH ME ME!!! The little guys look so funny when they doing aerobics :O) You can so things from visiting your friend's town, fishing, decorating your house, and celebrating holidays all on a video game! Sweet! Comes out middle of September! HAVE FUN!!

[Raziel]

I can't wait. This game is going to be fan-fucking-tastic.

["CRØNîC-KîLLå"]

[Jamesadin]

[Alpha_omega]

search for it on ign.com:O( :O( :O( :O(

[GameCube]

yea, that game is so sweet.

[FuRy]

must be weird like Pikmin, but really innovative....

[Grav]

Seriously, you guys make any game sound good. I bet 1/2 of the games you worship would be crap on the Grav Scale of Greatness.

www.animal-crossing.com Have fun!! I go to Circuit City every weekend and watch the preview (yea yea I know I don't have a life)

[Medieval Bob]

Does anyone else think this will be similar to Harvest Moon? I loved Harvest Moon on SNES, but never got to play it on N64. I've only read a little about this game, but it sounds a lot like HM.

[Raziel]

There are some parts that sound similar to HM. You can earn money by planting a fruit orchard, fishing, and hunting bugs. The thing I REALLY like is that there isn't a time limit to the game, and it runs in complete real time. I hated the 15 seconds=1 hour aspect of HM, and I always thought 2 years was a little meager for a time limit.

[GameCube]

yea, its sort of a "real life" game

That would suck so much.

Sim Ant is the best game ever. They should make a sequal.

ok...that was totally random

[Raziel]

The original Sim City was awesome. Everything after that was just crap.

[GameCube]

i thought sim city 2000 was pretty cool

[Raziel]

I only played it once on PC, and a few times on SNES. I HATED the SNES version, but the PC version seemed alright.

[Sum Yung Guy]

Man you guys sure have a way of getting off topic.... shame on you!

Anyways I just saw a comercial of Animal Crossing... it was GAY GAY GAY!

[Raziel]

Pah, you don't know the MEANING of the word "gay"...

...okay, well maybe you do. But, the game is still a great idea. I thought it sounded pretty lame when I first read about it, but the concept kind of grows on you after a while.

[GameCube]

the graphix look like theyre form n64, but the gameplay sounds really cool

[Raziel]

It's an updated version of Animal Forest (an N64 game) which was only released in Japan.

[BlueCube]

*Shrug* I just got it a week ago.. It's pretty cool. You have to talk to the villagers, plant/cut down trees, fish, get fruit off of trees, dig up fossils, write letters, attend festivals (on the proper date, too!), pay off your mortgage, get furniture for your house, design your own clothing / wallpaper / carpets / umbrellas, send rare stuff to the museum, and other cool stuff.

You can do whatever you want. You can be nice to the villagers and they'll give you stuff for your house, or you can smack 'em with your bug catching net to piss 'em off. The only problem I have is with the letter writing system.. sometimes the animals can't understand simple letters ("What is your Birthday?") and they run out of stuff to talk about sometimes.

My favorite part would be the NES games you can unlock.. I have CluClu Land, Donkey Kong, and Balloon Fight so far.

[GameCube]

yea, it is a very unique game

[Raziel]

It's really hard to stop playing. I spent an hour or two just fishing last night. Caught FOUR Coelacanths!

[JiN-RaiDeN]

I agree, the commercial was ultra gay. They could've done just a little better with the graphics too.

[GameCube]

yea, the graphix look like theyre fron n64

[Raziel]

Did you not read my post??? THE GRAPHICS ARE FROM THE N64. It's an updated version of Animal Forest, which was released only in Japan on the N64. They didn't do a complete graphics overhaul because it's not necessary for a game of that type. If it was an action or adventure game, sure. But not a life sim. A total graphics upgrade would have taken a ridiculous amount of time for a pretty unnecessary effect.

Four? Darn you, I only got 2.. and lots of Red Snappers... Hope you donated one of those Coelacanths to the museum though.

[Raziel]

Yeah, I donated one, sold two, and kept the other as a pet. I actually could have had seven but I fucked up three times in a row. However, I'm still in the process of acquiring those damned NES games. I have yet to find even ONE.

[BlueCube]

I got my NES games in a treasure hunt..

----------MESSAGE BOARD-----------

Free Donkey Kong to whoever finds it!
Go dig in the C acres! Have fun!

Like that..

[Raziel]

My buddy Gary got Excitebike and Tennis in a letter from Nintendo. This isn't fair! I want my goddamn games!!!

[Jamesadin]

Haha, I picked bottles and cans for 2 and a half months to get my n64

[AC_Luver!!!]

now that I have GROWN UP this game is gayful. and im sure everyone at the forum is surprised to see this topic bumped cause its probably 3 years old lol. well too bad.

[AC_Luver!!!]

asdf oh yeah this is significant content bitchass content filtering system

[BlueCube]

Err.. thanks!

[Jamesadin]

I saw an ad for this game, it was gay, but the game seems like fun.

[Medieval Bob]

Okay, everyone who has the game and likes it, what other games do you like? I'm thinking about getting it. Also, there are accessories for it right? And I don't have a GBA. I don't know what all you use it for -- besides saving the NES games on to play -- but I remember reading on.. Gamespy I think, about the accessories you can buy for it. Anyway: Conclusion - You like it? What other games/game types do you like? (Specific Game Names may help) Should I buy it?

[GameCube]

u can also use the e-reader with it

[RoboticSilence]

When I first heard about Animal Crossing, I didn't really know what to think. When I actually played it at my friend's house... it made me want to get a GameCube... that's how fun it is... now where's that $150... mmmm somewhere...

[GameCube]

yea you will be addicted to this game

[Jamesadin]

Dammit, your making me want to play it.

[GameCube]

yea, i know

[Jamesadin]

I think I might get it....

[Raziel]

It's an awesome game. I've already got my house built up to it's maximum.

Bob, if you liked The Sims (or really any of the Sim games) you'll love this. The best description I've heard for it is "This game is everytning The Sims failed to do, only done right." It's obnoxiously cute, but very entertaining.

As far as accessories go, you can link the GBA to it, and you can use the E-Reader with it.

If you want more suggestions for GameCube games, buy Super Mario Sunshine, Resident Evil, Eternal Darkness, or Star Fox Adventures. All of them are badass beyond words.

[quikspy67]

well i find the graphics on cube not so grate for this game but i find that this games looks good but they could make it less kiddy

[Raziel]

Why does a game having slightly cartoonish graphics make it instantly a "kiddie" game? Would you prefer all of the animals walking around with their tits hanging out and severed heads bouncing across the screen? Or maybe you would just prefer a GameCube port of The Sims?

Oh, and HAVING GOOD PUNCTUATION AND DECENT GRAMMAR SKILLS NEVER KILLED ANYONE. Look into it.

[GameCube]

i agree completely. u cant judge a game by its graphics

[Raziel]

Damn straight. And even though it has cartoony graphics, it suits the game perfectly. If it was more realistsic it wouldn't feel right.

[Jamesadin]

He isnt exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, if you know what I mean.

yea, it would look stupid with real people

[Xenn]

Fun but COME ON 57 blocks to save? I rented it and I had to wipe all my data just to save it.

If they didn't give you a free memory card when you buy it it'd be such a horrible ripoff.

[Jamesadin]

holy shit, 57? Damn

[Raziel]

The game comes with a memory card, dude. You have to save an entire town's worth of information. What were you expecting?

[Xenn]

This game is fun now but I don't really see where it's going... after you've got a good house what can you do, buy more stuff for your house? Doesn't sound very entertaining..

[BlueCube]

You can chop down all of your friend's trees... go to all of the festivals (maybe play on Christmas)... or maybe just beat the animals with a net.

-----------------

By the way, you can send stuff to people, if you know their name and town. You just talk to Tom Nook and give him an item and that information. He'll give you a password that will only work for that person. (edit: It's in "Other Things", and "Hear Code".)

Post your name and town, maybe someone will send you something.


Name: Cube
Town: Reximol


The code, your name, and the town's name are all case-sensitive.
Heck, maybe you could request something, and someone, somewhere, might be nice enough to send it to you.. or just give you an apple. Whatever.

[Raziel]

Name: Jonathan
Town: Winters

[quikspy67]

the game dosent look so great like what Grav said.

[Raziel]

Yeah, but Grav is an intelligent guy. I respect his opinions. You on the other hand are a blubbering mongloid, and deserve to be shot with oh so many bullets.

[Xenn]

It's cool how stuff changes every day.

And how you can ditch annoying neighbors in other peoples towns :)

[BlueCube]

Xenn's at 1331 posts. Only 6 more to go!

I wonder what would happen if I skip to Christmas on my other memory card.. it'd kill my town with Sphere in it, but I just use that town for funiture anyway..

[quikspy67]

i think its like the sims but for younger

[GameCube]

yea, kinda

[Jamesadin]

Only more fun!

[Raziel]

The Sims sucked. Animal Crossing is everything that The Sims tried to be, only exponentially better.

Hey Cube, I've actually created two "auxiliary towns" but I deleted the first one, because I only created it for fruit purposes. I intend to erase the second one once I find out whether or not my orange trees have taken root.

[GameCube]

thats pretty cool

[quikspy67]

its just like sims but gay

[Jamesadin]

no it isnt, you havnt even played it....I think....YOU are gay.

[sir.dennis]

I played Animal crossing, but i just could not get into it maybe because i like good graphics:O(

[Raziel]

Incredible commentary. Extremely insightful. Now, go kill yourself.

Dont worry about the graphics, plus, its one of those games which you need for a long time, you had it for 2 days, most of which we all played tony hawn or mario party.

[Gladius]

And we are back to the graphics, go to the zelda thread by quikspy to see what i mean.

[Xenn]

I wish you couldn't change the dates, makes checking in on special holidays seem unnecassary.

[quikspy67]

the game is fun but i wouldn't buy it

[RoboticSilence]

Originally posted by sir.dennis

I think the graphics are exceptionally fitting of the game. It doesn't really need good graphics... they are as good as they need to be. There's a certain style in them, it was a good choice to keep them the way they are. Plus, the game is massive and they used disk space for other things.

[FuRy]

The graphics ain't great but this is a kick ass game...

[tacoX]

This game is the fucking shiznet. A must get if you have a gamecube! Omg!

[BlueCube]

Yes, yes it is. On both counts: shiznet-ness and must-own-ness.

Ahh, 91,301 points for my house. MY HOUSE = 1337.

[Xenn]

I need classic shit for my house, does anyone have the classic rug or any classic furniture (other than cabinet, chair, and bed)?

You can trade items you know.

[BlueCube]

Yeah, I know that.

I have:

bed
cabinet
chair
clock
desk
sofa
carpet


Post your name / town.

[Xenn]

Charname: Evan

Town: Warville

huk ^_^

I'll give you some junk for the clock, desk, sofa, and carpet.

[BlueCube]

(EDIT: Repairs are in BLUE.

Guess I red that O as a zero, and I misread my own writing on the Sofa one.)

Classic Carpet

Yellow "l" is a lowercase L, blue "O" is a capital O..

F % X 3 6 I V 9 u u 4 6 i #
y l j I n O s K 6 v K U x I




Classic Sofa


o # @ K V k h % P 2 c w w P
i 3 Q B 3 F n P R 2 L y x q




Classic Desk

Yellow "l" is a lowercase L, red "0" is a zero.

i j Y Q 2 U P c Y L M G m X
A w 2 l u 5 t s 0 E & & K E




Classic Clock


B # @ K j K y A A j b w w P
j 3 Q n 3 F n P 4 b L L x c





Tell me if any of these don't work, I'll redo them.
Note to everyone else: These will only work if your character's name is Evan and the town's name is Warville.

[Xenn]

Cool thanks :D

If you need anything I'll keep my eyes open.

EDIT: Ok the first 2 don't seem to work.

[BlueCube]

Hmm.. I'll redo them, might have misread Tom Nook.

(EDIT: Repaired! Check the original post.)
