I just got it yesterday, and am thus far entertained. I rented the GameCube version awhile back, and liked it pretty well. Then I heard about the DS version, and included WiFi play, and was sold. So, anybody else playing it? Maybe we can all trade friends codes? ---

My step-son-like unit plays it, when he isn’t immersedin Battlefront II or Battlefield 2 or Everquest 2 or Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, or … 😃 ---

I’ll be getting this soon, I hope, I hope… I love the Gamecube version and still play it now and then after three years. 😃 ---

Anyone know if the Japanese version and the English version play together at all? I’ve been told that Mario Kart does, but I haven’t had the chance to try it w. someone who has the English version. On that note…anyone want to race? (I’m not so good, so…good chance to boost your win/loss ratio!) I’m going to try to get a friend to send me the English version of Animal Crossing, as the Japanese version (Doubutsu no mori) has too much reading involved for me to be able to do well. Is it true that it’s in short supply stateside? ---

Oh and mine: > > Name: Daniel > Town: Kenya > Friend Code: 2491-7053-1239 BWAHAHA! I just got mine last night, and I’m about to go play it and figure out this code thing… but I had to laugh - my town’s name is Lapland. You know… to the tune of [Kenya](http://www.weebls-stuff.com/testy/AdventCalendar/day19.html)? 😃 I was thisclose to calling it Kenya, because that was the tune going through my head. But I got the game from my Santa, Mr. Stasaeon. ---

But I got the game from my Santa, Mr. Stasaeon. Yes but does yours have a constellation named Lion? And Girrafe? (I couldn’t really make one like a tiger…or zebra. they’d look too much like Lion) ---

Thread resurrection! I’ve been playing this for a week and I have no friends on it yet. Friend code: 3737-3488-6017 I don’t really know how this works, but I can’t wait to test it out. 🙂 ---

Anyone here still playing? I just got my DS Lite this weekend and have already fallen in love with Animal Crossing. I have oranges, you’re welcome to take what you like. I generally won’t be online until after 6 PM EST weekdays, and intermittently on weekends. If anyone wants to add me: Name: Jet Town: Xanth Friend code: 3136-0718-4140 ---

I’m totally loving the game. It’s the first video game system or whatever that I’ve ever really had. (Never even had Pong.) ---

Name: Griseous Town: Hullton Friend: 5240-6199-3643 I have lots of fruit: peaches, oranges, apples, pears, cherries, and coconuts! (Thanks **XJEGTIRLX**!) I’m still working on planting orchards, though, but I’ve got a couple of each kind going. ---

I’m not sure, but I think palm trees attract some of the bigger beetles. Last night I got an atlas beetle and a goliath beetle, and the other day I got two elephant beetles. IIRC, I’ve got three producing palm trees and three viable saplings. So, if anybody wants coconuts, let me know.
