11 Exclusive Animal Crossing: Wild World Features

Man I forgot how quirky WW was. The villagers weren’t afraid to be mean, there were some strange (but hilarious) dialogue and activities, villagers could visit your house and you had annoying Lyle and Resetti constantly up your butt. I wish they would’ve added these things in NH that made the older games so special but they’ve become a lot more family friendly so it’s probably never going to happen.. so sad

[@puib6511]

yeah i agree!! imo it was the fact that they went from straight up in-your-face rudeness (static calling me an elephant stomping around springs to mind) to begrudging friendship that really made the villagers feel in-depth, and friendship felt more rewarding and more of an achievement because it took time for them to like you as a player

[@cleliaoconnell3705]

I think WW had just the right amount of rudeness in it. The gamecube version might have been a tad too rude, city folk was sometimes rude but not too nice yet, and NL and NH are just... like swimming in a pool of honey... I don't like it and every character feels fake... It is definitely related to the fact that I needed to invest time in the relationships. But also I think that it is good to teach younger people that not everyone is going to be friendly and that's ok. It's not related to you so it isn't to be taken personally. And it can get better if you are kind. But if you are also rude then they get ruder too. It teaches reciprocity in relationships and acceptance of others' personalities.

Instead, they were too focused on the game being about decoration...should have named it Animal Crossing: Island Designing

Have to admit I wasn't fond of Flea Market Day because I could never enter my home in peace during the day without a villager barging in and wanting to buy everything in sight. I would plan carefully the night before to carry very little on hand the next day, run quick errands, and deal with villagers as little as possible. I would turn off the game while I'm still outdoors and wait until Flea Market Day was officially over. I would then go back to my village in the evening.

WW honestly had better villagers personalities. They didn’t say the same 3 lines like in NL and NH. They didn’t really care for you at first. You had to write to them and talk to them everyday for them to like you. It gave you an incentive to to befriend them and gain their friendship.

It depends the language you play.In French snob villager look down on you and they get cranky if you have a reputation in the village.

I love the cranky villagers, I like to think of them as tsunderes. Plus even though they're rude they can also be somewhat kind when you talk to them a lot and stuff. I remember when they would ask if you're there because you want handouts or something from them and you have two options. The first is yes, and they get angry and dissapointed at you. The second option is No and they'll be like good for you it's good that you're independent or something like that, but then they'll get sad because he wants to be needed. Either way they get a bit upset but I find it so cute. My favorite cranky villager is Rolf btw. Who's your favorite cranky villager?

[@BuckShockley13]

I do kinda miss the edge (for lack of a better word) the Gamecube and WW games had, but the trade-off is a better feeling of escapism.

Kids can handle so much more than the creators of NL and NH give them credit for. My first AC game was WW, and one of my favorite things was when the villagers would be rude or insult me. Sometimes I’d make people angry just for fun (mean I know). I never once got scared or insulted, and I was like 8. Creating a game in which everyone loves you immediately and no one ever gets ticked off is unrealistic and does not reflect relationships in the real world. ACWW did a much better job of that.

[@SnowberryFlavour]

God, I miss the dialogue so much in the newer games. Still remember how I hated that snooty neighbour of mine in WW, because she was always so rude to me (I was still a kid). But after a while, she opened up to me and we became bff. I also started to laugh at some of her rude comments, which still appeared from time to time. Like in real life, you get to know someone and start to understand their kind of quirks. I am still searching for her in NH, but I up to now, villagers aren't even half as interesting. I like NH, but a lot of charm from the villagers is lost...

Her "sassy" characteristics are almost completely gone and she is very gentle and ladylike from the get-go. In short: She is very tame now and with that, a lot of humour and charme is lost imo. I still enjoy NH and like Amelia, but she isn't the villager I used to know and love :/ But well, no one can take away the memories I made with her in WW! And I hope that doesn't deter you from trying Animal Crossing, if you still are interested! It's still very enjoyable, the characteres with edge (snooty and grumpy villagers) are just less interesting

I think the conversations they have with each other brings out their personality in new horizons but even then fauna has had the same conversation with Pango about dreaming that fudge came out of her faucet instead of water..(and gayle had the same conversation with Pango, too, she and fauna are normal villagers) But I did kinda laugh when fauna tried starting small talk to Pango by talking about cockroaches-

Am I the only one who prefers old animal crossing to new? There’s something just so nostalgic and amazing about wild world and city folk that the new ones simply don’t have. Don’t get me wrong, new leaf is incredible and new horizons is…. fine, but wild world and city folk just have something special to them I just can’t explain. I think it’s due to the fact that it feels more like a community… and not some decoration thing like NH. I also miss the villagers in these games :(

[@FenrirInFlowers]

@@Mqstodon - No. I only started Wild World for the first time a few months before starting New Horizons. I definitely like Wild World better. It's a more complete game with more personality for me. Love the character back stories for characters like Tom Nook and the Able Sisters. Love all the pop quizzes, weird letters, rumors, and different interactions with my villagers. Love the unique festivals for everything from choosing a new town tune to writing silly compliments. Adore all the funny messages on the town bulletin board. New Horizons is pretty but feels empty and rather boring. I hate breakable tools, crafting, and the shallowness of the game being focused too much on visually designing your island. I hate how much personality was lost by dumping NPCs for inanimate objects (like losing the whole post office for a bland card stand). I hate that all the mature NPCs like Joan and Tortimer were cut out, thus reducing the diversity of the characters and making the town feel less alive. I dislike how many "holidays" just revolve around more stinking crafting recipes. The game isn't hopeless, but New Horizons is definitely flawed.
