I know this is true but I've tried even playing City Folk modded on Wii U with controller-friendly controls and it still doesn't quite... idk what it is. But it never really hit me like it should.
Wild World just has so much charm somehow even though I know it's the slimmest game with really repetitive holidays. It easily has my favorite graphics in the franchise with that PS1-era 3D look, and I like the sound bytes of the animalese in it, and I just like how everything feels so small and-- EUWH!
I definitely think the GC game and Wild World are the best. Honestly I'd play New Horizons over New Leaf today. NL was great content-wise but it really is the same as New Horizons in how charmless it started to feel.
