Despite what I said, the Wii version was pretty cool, but I don't think they did much with the highlighted City.
It was nice that the Animal Crossing world certainly was more open to modernization, with urban areas and automobiles, neither present in the N64/GCN original.
But Gamecube Animal Crossing holds a special place in my heart. I may have been percieved too old for that game at 16, but it was a severe guilty pleasure. I was a very different person as a minor, and the game just clicked with my still-childlike interests.
Plus, the idea of being able to collect NES games really interested me as well, I was always interested in the 80s, and at that time, that was one of the only ways to play such things in 2003. Punchout was one I was really looking forward to getting, because my cousin had that and whenever I got to play it, I freaking loved how it played.
Then, of course, you're hearing about video game urban legends, in this case being SMB and LoZ. Dubbed as part of the series of "Forbidden Games" these 5-star NES titles were programmed into the game, but all and any way to access it through normal gameplay was removed. This was also true for Ice Climber and Mario Bros, but products of Nintendo's stupid and obviously ill-fated E-Reader made it possible to get them. And of course, the one and only chance I have to buy Animal Crossing cards, a trip to West Palm Beach during the E-Reader's only year of life, and I did not get the NES Games cards.
Its possible SMB and LoZ were going to get similar cards in future releases. The E-Reader was doomed from day one though, but thats another story, and I don't even like talking about that waste of money to begin with.
So anyway, you could only get those games through Action Replay. But I knew it wasn't 2006 anymore. I can already play any Nintendo game on my Wii, technology has changed. There must be some way to hack and get the games. And there was. A simple Homebrew program that uploads savestates to your gamecube card.
And we all lived happily ever after with my Forbidden NES games.
So anyway, whats this new game anyway? A Phone game? I thought Nintendo didn't do Phone games. Guess Pokemon Go really broke ice.
