a sims-like game released for the nintendo gamecube in 2002. it was a very good game game, except for the extra cr-ptastic graphics. the graphics were bad because it was originally intended for nintendo 64, but only in j-pan. but after a while, you dont really notice how bad the graphics are, because the game is incredible. you can collect cool sets of furniture, run errands for townspeople, and write them letters. you can also catch fish and bugs. originally named animal forest.
when you buy the game, it even comes with its own memory card!! h-ll yea!!
a video game for the nintendo gamecube featuring chibi-style children living alone (presumably because their parents didn’t love them) in a town infested with speaking animals. though the town appears to be ruled by a tortise mayor, it’s true dictator is a racc–n who hold a monopoly over the town’s goods.

often, gamers would begin to play this game 1.) out of sheer boredom, or 2.) because their sister traded in all the other games. sadly, these gamers are likely still playing it due to its overly-addicting collection system.
