And no I haven't played it with anyone else... Is there any special features?

Also I've seen that video already and the story is very touching but... I don't think you understand what I'm trying to do here. I'm trying to understand what's the goal/point of the game and what's fun about it?

I won't be able to pursuade you.

There is no point to the game.  But...I spent halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas...and even the New Years Countdown on Animal Crossing....in real life.

That is...my girlfriend and I decided to watch the Animal Crossing countdown rather than go out to some New Years party.  And it was tons of fun.  I have no idea why.  I bought the game for her...to see if she could get into video games....but I ended up liking it, too. 

You can unlock old-school Nintendo games(you get one in the mail for your birthday).  This was before Virtual Console, of course.

And like I mentioned before...there's just a lot of pleasure to be derived by doing something for someone.  When Chelsea would find something in her mailbox....like a letter...or a new shirt...she'd get really excited/happy and it brought us a little closer I think.

 

I know this is all cheesy...and I am a hardcore gamer, I promise.  But some things are just unexplainable.
