This probably sounds like old hat to some people but i have been playing Animal crossing since December the whateverth. (Can't remember the PAL release date). Haven't messed about with the date whatsoever, despite the temptation. Have been waiting with zen-like patience for the rain. Finally today i can report it rained for the 1st time. So it's coelacanth time. Time for a late night fishing frenzy. Took a couple of hours for 1st coelacanth to appear but then another two came along quite quickly. At 15k a pop Tossy is so getting a windmill tomorrow once i've seen Nook. I know some might say stringfish are rarer but i had no problem catching a few in the winter months. Am reminiscing now to Gamecube days when i would empty my pockets of everything but a fishing rod and have a late night fishing frenzy, ending up with pockets full of Coelacanths, red snappers and barred knifejaws. It even got to the stage where i had to start releasing a few snappers. I think my record haul for 1 nights work was over 120k at Nooks the next morning. Might go for the record tonight!

lol. I never got into Animal Crossing enough to know about all those things. I want the Wii one though. Lots of reviews said that it was too similar to the DS version, but I never played that version, so I'm sure I won't be disappointed by the Wii one. The GC one got old kind of quick though.

Reading the title I thought you were referring to girlfriends...

Not really into Animal Crossing, but I know at least two people who are obsessed with it.

@ Topcat.
I never played the DS version either so i was in the same boat as you. Loved the GC version though and there's just enough new content/ fishes/bugs etc. to warrant a purchase.

I wish I hadn't played the DS version cos I just couldn't get into this version as the only thing that felt new was the city which isn't exactly the most eventful place.

I think there is a few more bugs and fishes plus more songs from K.K. slider. However you may have to wait until later in the year to find them. Or time travel.
