Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I don't think Animal Crossing works as well on a console. To me the whole appeal of Animal Crossing was it's ability to be played on the move. Although I did love City Folk/Let's Go To The City I could never shake the feeling that I'd rather be under the covers with the game in my hands, rather than in front of a couch staring at a TV.

I mean, I'd play it if there was a Wii U release, but I would rather wait longer for another 3DS release. I have no doubt they'll do it eventually though.

You know what I'd love? The ability to have more than one town. That'd be wicked awesome.

Your opinion is probably more popular than mine.  I'm not a fan of handhelds.  I bought a ds...and never played it.  It's so much a commuter/backseat device.  When I drive, I'm driving...and I don't take mass transit too much.  So mostly I'm gaming at home.  Animal Crossing is a "get up in the morning, have some coffee, and take care of my chores" kind of game.  

Having multiple towns would definitely be cool...that way you could see where the animals go when they're tired of your town.

There's just so much more they could do with this game...but I'm worried they're going to just keep going with the limited advancements they keep making with each iteration.

And I think I'd really like them to not have the world rotate like it has been these last few games.  Top down is so much better.  Now that's probably a minority opinion.

Huh, different people I guess. To me Animal Crossing is a curled up under the covers game, but I do see what you mean by a  "wake up, coffee, chores" game. I certainly did enjoy City Folk though.

Yeah, that'd be awesome. Funny thing, often the animals go to the villages of people who've visited your town. I visited a friends town with my character and I spoke to one of the birds, and the next day he began leaving her town and moved in to mine. Little touches like that are awesome.

I do agree that they make far too few advancements with every sequel. City Folk was basically just Wild World with a train station, but New Leaf did make some big advancements IMO. The whole mayor thing was so cool.

I never actually played any of the top down ones D: My first was Wild World. I'll have to check out the GameCube version some time.
