Animal Crossing is the brainchild of NCL's Takashi Tezuka, Shigeru Miyamoto's right-hand man. Released in Japan early 2001 on N64 as Animal Forest and later on GameCube as Animal Forest +, Animal Crossing is an every-day life game set in a small forest community populated by talking animals. As the only human in the village (although your character looks more like a rag doll), you buy a small house and slowly start to figure out what Animal Crossing is all about. Play this game for a few hours and you'll understand why legions have fans have been hooked for years.
