We’ve been dealing with Nook’s shenanigans for so long
Today marks the 15thanniversary of theAnimal Crossingseries. The original Nintendo 64 version ofAnimal Crossing(Doubutsu no Mori) was released in Japan on June 06, 2025, and was re-released on the GameCube later that same year. Since then, we have seen three more main series games and two spin-off titles.
New Leafmight be my favorite of the series, but I still have the fondest memories of the original. I remember making a schedule of when to catch all the fish and bugs, staying up late to try and find Wisp the ghost, setting aside some time to play the game during every holiday, visiting my friends’ towns by trading memory cards, collecting all the NES games, and hanging out with my very first villagers, Samson, Monique, Buzz, and Goldie.
I spent so much time withAnimal Crossinggrowing up, and I still enjoy it to this day. Hopefully we’ll see another main series entry soon enough!
What are some of your favoriteAnimal Crossingmemories?
