i played the gamecube original!
i remember being so in awe of my cousin when he paid off his loan and got a gold statue because i was never able to make bells
i also played wild world briefly and city folk.
now i'm getting back into acnh !
My first was the GC version! My older sister rented it from BlockBuster and I remember our memory card didn't have enough blocks on it to save, so we had to go out and buy one.
After that, we ended up buying it for ourselves and got the nifty little memory card with Rover on it! I still have it and contemplate on going back from time to time to check it out again.
I hope my Hornsby is doing well after ~20ish years lol.
