Embrace Animal Crossing: New Leaf! Animal Crossing is the new religion! Debt is your life! Worship the raccoon mobster!

Gotta love a Zero Punctuation episode when its referencing The Prisoner and portrays a raccoon as a leg-breaking mobster. XD

Yahtzee pretty much hit Animal Crossing on the head with how it is. You just find that you cannot stop playing it, despite how mundane it can be at times.
For me New Leaf is the first Animal Crossing I've played since the first one, still have it, mainly because I knew how addicting it was. Needless to say the addiction is still here for New Leaf, although I feel a bit more restricted in town size since the sea takes up a good amount of blocks and I can't build a bridge connecting the two beaches I have next to the waterfall. >.>

There is something to say to the idea that our obligations are what keep us going in the end. I've never played the game, but it is a curious way to start and almost has grabbed my attention.

Wonder if it comes for Wii?
It already exist an Animal Crossing game for the wii called Animal Crossing City Folk(US)/Let's Go To The City(EU)
My guess is perhaps they meant Wii U, which if there wasn't an Animal Crossing on the Wii U I'd actually be really surprised.

Oh, and one thing about this video, Animal Crossing was originally on the Nintendo 64 titled Doubutsu no Mori (Animal's Forest), and the GameCube version is actually a port of the original one just with some things changed here and there (just cosmetic stuff like the Police Station's look). It was released though when the GameCube had come out though so it wasn't localized outside of Japan and the world just got the GameCube port. And yes I do have the cartridge of Dobutsu no Mori and let me just say that even though I despise the N64 controller the game is still addicting. >.<

Play fun games? No, I can't have fun now! I have responsibilities! You think those fish are gonna catch themselves? Those arse fruits are gonna shake themselves free?

Nay I say.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf...dang, never even heard of this game. If you hate it so much, why spread awareness???
I didn't know Yahtzee was running a morality campaign. I was under the impression that this series took the piss out of popular releases.

I think I could have figured out that AC isn't for me by the way I run my Minecraft house (a cave with walls patched together out of cobblestone, sand, dirt, endstone, wood and whatever else was at hand, a giant mess of pipes and wires connected to a central storage and crafting computer ferrying materials between it all). If it's not functional it might get glued somewhere to add a little bit of symmetry but in the end cosmetic stuff goes right into the storage. So my AC house with exactly one functional item (a locker) is more of a pointless random assortment of items with priority given to stuff that seems rare.

And the worst part is that certain bugs and fish only appear in specific time periods so you need to keep playing for a bout a year before you can even begin to call it "complete". Despite this, I am addicted. I generally only play for an hour or two each day though.

If animal crossing existed around the WW1, the trenches would still be around. Although, I haven't played Animal crossing in forever and that's because I know that I would be a slave to it.

One has to wonder why he ever thought to review this...

That being said, do has he says: DON'T START PLAYING ANIMAL CROSSING!

Also, it TECHNICALLY started on the Nintendo 64, but only in Japan.

Animal Crossing has always and will always be a terrible Skinner Box game that the sheep enjoy.

Now I want to see Yahtzee review Rune Factory 4, although I'm sure the stench of amine will drive him away.

It sounds like the exact reason why I couldn't play this game. I'd want to play it exactly how I do Minecraft, only when I get bored or pissed at my friends, we couldn't just go into creative mode and set the world we spent so long to create aflame with ghasts and creepers everywhere and a few end game bosses.

Though, this does bring me to my next point. Yahtzee, please review Shin Megami Tensei IV next week. I know you hate JRPGs, but you liked Persona 4 well enough and this one so far doesn't reek of the linearity of the most current of JRPGs while having more character building than I've seen yet in the SMT series(not MegaTen as a whole, just the SMT ones)

Oh, so it is like "The Host" by Stephanie May... zzzzzz...zzz
No. More Like Invasion of the Body Snatcher meets meets accounting meets Suda 51 strolling through the woods on acid.
I'm pretty sure Suda51 sees the world normally when on acid.

And I gotta admit I was surprised to see a New Leaf review (I was thinking maybe Dream Team since that's already out over there, maybe next week)

He's right though. Even if you're doing nothing, the game is hard to put down. I've been playing every day almost since launch, and I'm still finding stuff to do.

It's hard to recommend though because you worry you might get that person as hopelessly addicted.
