ALL GONE.
I started a new village as soon as my new sd card arrived
Animal Crossing is more akin to a "play daily" kind of game. You collect furniture, clothing, basically stuff for your house and your character. You work to pay off the debt on your house (which in turn can make it bigger, allowing for more customization in furniture and the like), buy new stuff, collect bugs/fish for the museum, make friends with the animal neighbors and get them gifts (they'll eventually get you gifts too), and generally have a fun time in your animal town. When I say play daily, I mean that you maybe play it for an hour a day and then come back to it the next day. Things like the store's inventory change daily, plants like your fruit trees regrow (which you can sell for money), weather changes (some creatures come out during certain weather *shakes fist at coealacanth*), and sometimes animals move out or in to your town.
There isn't much of a story, other than you paying off your house and in the latest, New Leaf, being mayor of the village and establishing rules and building things. It's mostly about making friends and collecting things.
In a way yes it has some similarities to tomodachi life, but instead of being an invisible overlord of your people, you are an actual reside t of the town. The fun is mostly in collecting items and doing things daily. Filling up your fishing, bug catching and seafood encyclopedias, paying off your mortgage and making your town and house as you like it.
It can be difficult to describe, but if you like harvest moon and tomodachi life, the chances are you would like animal crossing.
There are numerous gameplay videos on the web, especially of some of the older entries into the series. The series is generally quite iterative, so the newer games just seem like deluxe versions of the older ones as not much gets changed from release to release excepting normally you get one new mechanic as the games gimmick. In New Leaf it is being Mayor, on City Folk it was the separate city area.
So guys i started playing New Horizons and i love it, it has made me want to buy all the original games again, I had Wild World and City Folk when I was a kid but they ended up getting sold by my parents when I no longer lived with them. I remember with City Folk you could move your character from Wild World to the new game and bring a few things with you like some money, is it possible to do that on the newer games too?
