Why I Play: It makes me forget all the bad things going on and just lets me relax in my own little world i designed.

Why I play: My grandmother was a huge fan of Wild World on the DS and every Sunday I would come out for breakfast and see her selling her turnips. The game itself is just so serene and is a great way to calm down or hang out with friends.

I played this when I was living in England away from my family in scotland. The DS version allowed me to connect and keep in touch with my 2 little cousins and brother.
Today my brother is married and my cousins are all adults and working. We still play AC and will always play AC together. It's a 16 year tradition. Thank you Nintendo

Nintendo always have the best community out there, basically Young adult or people that were born in the 90s to early 2000 just hanging out and feeling nostalgic for original Nintendo titles and hype for Nintendo Games. I am grateful for my first console purchased ever and it was the GBA SP and started it out playing Zoids and Fire Emblem SS :)
