As everyone nowadays is busy playing Animal Crossing New Horizons, I decided to go back in time and play the old Animal Crossing Wild World for the Nintendo DS. Years later is the game still good? Am I biased to nostalgia?

When it comes to Lyle you either have to immediately jump back into your house, or try to run for it - he'll chase you but he eventually gives up and just waits outside your house which is a repeat of running, just into your house. Became a bit of a hobby to outrun that man when I played Wild World and I even got good at baiting him by getting close enough to get him to start chasing again. Edit: I love how you finally realised after being scammed so many times by Lyle, sucks you got scammed first but it was fun to watch.

Or just leave all your bells in the ATM. I did that as a child and laughed whenever he talked to me.

[@Alex_Silverpen]

I'm 15 minutes in, but I feel like this video could be described as: "and then I feel in a hole". Wild World was my introduction to Animal Crossing, I owe this game a lot for that. It's also why Kabuki is one of my favorite villagers, and why I love the crankies in general! Back in the day, I was playing Wild World and I had Angus. I didn't like him at first, but he got sick. Back then, if a villager got sick they'd stay sick for multiple days. One day when I brought him medicine he cried and said he didn't deserve friends like me. Kabuki was another Wild World friend of mine, who gave me a present on my birthday, and also pinged me once just to talk about a design I had made at the Able Sisters that he was wearing. It's been years since then, but those are still fond memories for me. One of my favorite K.K. songs is K.K. Ragtime, simply because I feel like I heard it all the time in villager's houses in Wild World, so it's very nostalgic to me. Also, describing Dotty as the "first cool villager we've gotten" is rude, as you have Stitches. He's a literal teddy bear and one of the coolest villagers imo!

Wild world was the first animal crossing Game I played too!! I cant really remember the villagers I had, I was so young omg, but I also remember when New Leaf came out, I got It a month after its release, and I remember just becoming best Friends with Merengue. Flashforward to now, in new horizons, Merengue came back when I was villager hunting 🥺🤍 Also my favourite songs are Bubblegum KK and Animal City!

[@mooingcows]

Same here! Wild World introduced me into AC and what can I say? I have every single game except for the gamecube (hopefully I can find and buy it soon though to complete my collection). I do not remember much, as I was really young at that time but I remember how it made me feel. At home my siblings used to ignore me most of the tiems so I had to learn to be on my own. AC and the villager were the first "people" that were able to make me feel not alone and welcome, even when they bullied me for 10 minutes because I forgot to save :'D. I found comfort in this video game series like in no other. Melba stole my heart due to her personality and even the grumpies have a special place in my heart! I loved the time I played with friends in New Leaf and were no one gave a shit about how the villagers looked like. With New Horizons that changed and it suddenly became a trend to hate on "ugly villager". I think I can speak for all the veteran players: Grow up. Its not about looks. Never was. (sorry for the rant here lmao) No, but my heart really fills with joy to see so many veteran players that share the experiences in one way or another like I did!

Flea market legit was the OG I’m so mad it’s gone. We would catch a ton of expensive beetles and fish and fill our house with it, then you sell them for twice what nooks cranny buys them for. It can’t be over twice the amount or they’ll say it’s too high

[@EmminentDanger]

Wild World was my introduction to the franchise several years ago and honestly super nostalgic. I love how much personality each villager has and their... Brutally honest statements. 😂

[@VerityMadam]

That is the exact island layout I poured my life into as a kid! Apollo was my only villager on the mini island at the bottom. That game made Apollo and Punchy my absolute favourites Fun fact there was a bug where if you forced turnips to sit on a table by dropping something on the floor then dropping the turnip, they would never spoil. I used to have a room dedicated to waiting for big money!

[@ch3w]

I remember this being my first AC game and I remember not knowing how this game works and overthinking when asked where I’m going. I literally put in “zur Stadt” which means “to the city” in german and so that was the name of the city and a meme between me and my childhood friends

[@evesning]

wie geil :'D

[@millienorth9636]

I did something similar! I remember it asks where I want to go and I said "the park" 😅

[@carumsarene]

Fun Fact: Bees don't spawn in Wild World until the first time you enter your home. However, bells and furniture still will. I don't know if there's a day reset on this that you can abuse, but you can get yourself a good starter amount of bells and two furniture items to sell right from the get go.

[@owltellyouwut]

The recycling bin, fishing, and the lost and found (the castle at the top of the town) always had nice goodies when I played the game when I was younger. I started playing again recently and I still do this as my tried and true method. Sometimes the letters helped cuz you can sometimes trade up with the items you send the villagers or get the other fruit available in the game (there's a really good guide online for letter writing by Thonky). I miss the red turnips, wish ACNH brought them back T T

[@inneedofwater982]

Wild world is so nostalgic for me. It’s nice to just watch the gameplay like this.

[@Silentgrace11]

This video was honestly very sobering to listen to, as I go through my island on ACNH for the last time to grab what all items and flowers I want to send off to a friend's world for temporary reprieve before resetting it all, erasing the island I created nearly three years ago to this day, alone in my apartment, sitting at what was supposed to be a very temporary workspace as the pandemic ran amuck. It's chaotic and painful, breaking down what I spent so much time building up and the memories it all brought me, but admittedly weirdly cathartic, much like it seems like returning to Wild World was for you. Ty for the awesome video :)

As a kid my sister and I always shared games even tho we had separate ds systems, when we got animal crossing and learned we could interact with each other on our own systems using separate games we BEGGED our dad, the next time we saw him there was a new copy of wild world on the bookshelf in our living room, I found out awhile later that it was my step mom who thought it was so cute we wanted to play together that she went out and bought a copy so we both had one each, 😢 kinda miss her dude she passed this year and I feel like playing wild world is gonna hit me so hard when I pick it up again

[@unlikelyspecimen244]

Wild World was my gateway drug into games. Admittedly, years after I stopped playing I researched all the cheats and learned about the box duplication glitch. To be perfectly honest, the glitch took the fun out of the game, since it moves too slowly and there are no stakes when you're rich

also, I love the TV with VCR item because I actually have one of those in real life. I sometimes play GameCube Animal Crossing on it just to get that old feel. My TV's screen is barely taller than a VHS tape box, so it's a really small TV, but I just love the vibes. I'm going to age myself a bit here, but I remember as a kid being jealous of all my classmates who were getting DVD players when that was the hot new technology, but since everything was still being released on VHS as well as DVD- and we didn't have the money for a DVD player- we just. kept getting things on VHS. There's something special about this old TV, not sure how to describe it other than nostalgic.

I watched your GameCube 100 days too, just gotta say I have Tank as an islander in New Horizons. I personally love him as he is just so sweet and makes me laugh with how everything is gym related with him. But you know, we all have our preferences. I did actually also have him back in the day in Wild World as well. I don’t know, I could say I am attached to him in New Horizons because he was one of the first people who started from zero with me, but I think I just genuinely like him as a rhino.

[@invaderalienface6507]

the end reminds me of how I took my brother and sister's wild world and city folk, they shared the town together and it was so weird to look at this town, abandoned but with so much potential. They don't really remember playing those animal crossing games but it was fun. Same goes for the gamecube one (population:growing!) my dad, sister, and brother shared the town and to see this town abandoned for so long, it was weird but I understood we all need a break from something sometimes we all need to find other things and I hope one day they can maybe go back to these old towns and see what they left behind. maybe they can pick up their controller/ds and see the memories captured in the towns, almost like a camera.

It's great to see people playing the older games. They still have a lot to offer! 😊 I started playing WW last year, and it took *months* to pay off the house loan! The game is brutal, but the villagers and NPCs are probably the best they've ever been. It's a pity you spent so much time obsessing over making money in this and Population Growing, since socializing is where the games really shine.
