i only played the GC version but if you ask me there are three things that make animal crossing cool compared to any other MMO slog
1. there is a huge collection aspect to it,the number of shit you can put in your house is incredibly high,i like the gyroid especialy for those that don't know they are little haniwa like statue that make sounds when you touch them

2. animal crossing knows real world event so special stuff happens when it's christmas or april fool's day and such,oh and point 1? of course you get special items on special days
3. mr.resetti,seriously he's the shit

one of the selling point of the game should be how you can talk to the different animal in town (each player gets a different set) and each has his own personality,but frankly they all act like mindless NPC,the best part is when one of them ask you to bring an item to another character which is literaly 4 step away
did they ever improve that? considering that this is nintendo i guess not....
