And anons who know all about the series will tell you why you should try it and which game to start from (hopefully)
I have never played an Animal Crossing game... I heard the original GC one is actually the best. Fact or fiction?

Character on your OP pic is gonna come out and rape you in the ass the second you'll forget to save.
Have fun playing
I haven't played any other Animal Crossing, but I did play my fair share of the Gamecube original as an adult and I was very surprised. I thought I'd hate it because I hate "life simulator" games like The Sims and I thought it'd be baby sims, but no, if I had to describe Animal Crossing, it's more like 2D Zelda but without any of the combat, instead it's all about side-quests. It's like living the life of a villager in some RPG game.
I guess the grid-based map reminded me of 2D Zelda (specifically Link's Awakening, which coincidentally has an "Animal Village").
At some point it becomes very repetitive, but the amount of different items you can collect might be an incentive to keep playing, also building up relationships with the different NPCs. Not too deep, but dynamic enough to be entertaining.
I dunno, I liked it. If you have someone else to play with it becomes even better because you can visit their town and vice-versa.
It also has NES games to unlock so it also secretly works as a classic NES compilation.
Last few times I played Animal Crossing I spent like 30 minutes playing it, then an hour or more playing Pinball, Punch Out, etc.
Oh yeah also the music is pretty good, directly YMO-influenced.
I remember restarting deliberately because I thought his dialogue was hilarious
well technically i've played a finfan game before, but i never finished with it
i did 6, got to the apocalypse, and while it wasn't bad or anything, it was just kinda basic
is there one that has a more interestin battle system and/or world?
as for ac, really you can start with any one, they're all pretty similar, but my favorite's new leaf
part of that's nostalgia but also there's just a lot to do in that game, lot of ways to have the town grow and especially main street
although you might wanna find a way to get the 3ds online since i think they shut that down, there's a feature called dream world which let's you visit other peoples' towns without actually visiting them and people have done some amazing shit with that
I only played the ones on DS and 3DS. The online stuff was pretty fun.
What about Panzer Dragoon?
First level is amazing, great audiovisual experience. Gameplay is rather shallow but has the uniqueness of having the 360 rotation.
They improved everything in the sequel, PD Zwei.
Animal Crossing is pretty much a very chill life simulator, there's no fail state at all, its gott a scheduled set of events that run off the GC internal clock and you gather all kinds of shit in, its a hoarders dream game. You can even fully working versions of some Nintendo games, its really cool.
The reason a lot of people prefer the first one is probably because it has absolutely gimmicks, its AC in its purest form, the other ones didn't much to change that outside of City folk, then the 3DS one turned you into the mayor and the Switch one has you on an island you basically most control most aspects off it.
never played a single punch out
Suikoden. Just never got around to it.
final fantasy
mario
resident evil
xeno-
metroid
castlevania
Those are some of the bigger ones
Are you serious? I'm jealous that you still get to experience so many classics for the first time
i'll probably never play them to be honest
>Final Fantasy
- Start with Final Fantasy 6 (called “Final Fantasy 3” on SNES)
>Mario
- Start with Super Mario 3
>Resident Evil
- Start with Resident Evil 4
>Castlevania
- Start With Symphony of the Night
>start with resident evil 4
I'd disagree with this, not because it's a bad game but because it's completely different compared to the original three.
Resident Evil 4 is more like a traditional third person action game, whereas the original trilogy are a lot slower paced and are closer to classic adventure games (lots of puzzle solving and resource management, lower emphasis on combat)
fyi that entire guy's post is a troll to try and bait outrage
he should start with reaident evil 4 because it's the only one worth playing
if you're a Black person chimp, perhaps.
RE4 has more depth than any of the first three games
Not the guy your arguing with but frick Ashley, frick Leon, frick the stupid suitcase, I hate babysitter simulators this one was ass.
>babysitter simulators
this is always the tell tale sign of someone who either didnt play RE4 or was really, really bad at it. dude, you escort ashley for literally 1/10th of the game and almost any time you have her she can either hide or she's doing something for you. if you got filtered by this you are legitimately moronic.
start with super metroid or zero mission for metroid
i don't know what xeno is
like, the xenoblade games?
The GC and DS Animal Crossing have the best dialogue & interactions with villagers but there's not much to do compared to newer AC games.
GC AC also has the best music in the series.
Probably 3DS AC is my favourite.
Dragon Warrior/ Dragon Quest
Harvest Moon without the farming and fail state. If that sounds appealing to you then go for it.
famicom adventure games
Unfortunately it doesn't really run properly on original hardware anymore because most gamecubes have a fried internal clock.
It was a very unique experience because it was a game that was supposed to be shared with family, you can have 4 characters all on the same town and it was a really cool experience. My aunt, my two cousins and me played together and it was a really wholesome experience.
I played it on Wii
For me it's most Sega and Nintendo exclusive franchises after the 4th gen, and all Xbox/360/One exclusives. I owned an N64 but I only really played Pokemon games on it as I was already hooked on my PS1 at the time. I got a SNES mini to give me a sense of what all the fuss was about but I played for about an hour on each title and found myself disappointed. I mostly play MS/MD, PS1 and PS2.
It was for a fricking stupid reason to. I wanted to play this but one of my cousins rented it and had nightmares so when we were at our local blockbuster with my uncle he told my mom about it so I had to pick something else. I had played Resident Evil and Clock Tower before this too. By the time they came out with 2nd game I wanted to play the first one but never got a chance so its remained on my playlist for all these years
This dude and the dog guy with the guitar were, in my opinion, the 'mascot characters' of the games, until they were superceded by the yellow dog and yellow cat. Are they even in the games anymore?
For me it's KK Slider, I just remember his trophy from Melee and how it said "Japan Only" or something.
Yeah that's the guy. Him and Resetti had Melee trophies, and that's as far as I got with the series. I do know Chris Chan famously made a one hour documentary about it and had it sent to Nintendo power, the mad man.
Most of them.
