To quote my post in the trading thread:
Hmmm...
Question...
I am probably getting this game ON Christmas... and every player gets an NES game on Christmas Eve, right? Should I set my 'Cube clock back a couple of days, and then set it forward later? Will that mess up the game? How long will it take me to be able to accept mail? Will I ever stop asking questions?
I'm hoping this secret fun thing that we get on Christmas is Zelda or Mario... I hope Resetti doesn't flip out...
Zelda and Mario were in the JPN version. You can set the game back a couple of days and be okay, set it to the 23rd so you can have some fun with TOY DAY. Also, you'd better know military time before trying to set your GC's internal clock.
Well, isn't it true that you can't do any of the fun stuff until the intro is done? The Tom Nook errands and such...
But can you set the clock back forward?
...and who says Zelda and Mario aren't gonna be in the US version?
Go to Planet Gamecube to get the answers you seek regarding Mario and Zelda...
Oh, okay. So, I'll go out and buy a Pro Action... waitaminit...
...and thanks, Gongos. The info helps the Chao greatly. You should come visit his town, Pie, sometime.
Hearing about this game seriously makes me want a GameCube... oh well. Il lget it when its like $50.
All i know is that my AC clock accidentally got set backward a year, and when I came back, there were weeds on every square inch of my town!! ;_;
=O! thanks!!!! I will so very use that tip!
Huh? What the fuck are you talking about?Quote:

diff, you seem pretty determind to hate nintendo, so i doubt that this game would help you, but it is a great game.
01. I said that I wanna get this game.
02. I dont have a GameCube.
03. If IGN is correct, Animal Crossing came out for GameCube and not Xbox or PS2 (and I do own these).
04. I cannot get Animal Crossing. Well, I could but I have no means to play it.
05. Im in college.
06. Im poor.
07. Im not gonna spend $150 on another plasticky/microchippy box to sit in my dorm room unused 95% of the time when I already have two that serve that purpose.
THEREFORE
08. Im not getting GameCube until its cheaper. Maybe you have the money to buy a million consoles and four games a week like some other people on this board, but I do not.
How the fuck do you get the idea that "I hate Nintendo" from all this? Animal Crossing is probably the one game out of the six million that came out in 2002 that caught my eye. I just dont have the platform.
Animal Crossing caught my eye too... until I played it. The game sounds fun in theory but in execution it's quite tedious. I still liked it but it's far from excellent.
I get the feeling if Animal Crossing wasn't made by Nintendo, it would have a lot less fans.
How does Harvest Moon compare to Animal Crossing? Are they similar in concept? A friend of mine said they were (he has the PS2 version) but I always thought HM was more of a farming simulation.
I am not sure if I am interested in AC or not. On the one hand, I really like the general concept.. but on the other hand I hear comments like Neozeed's about the execution and it makes me wonder. I think I still like the concept so I guess I hope this becomes a sort of genre. Maybe something will strike me then.
Also, I'd like to second Melf's comments and hear more about Harvest Moon.
Well, it's similar in some concepts, like interacting with others and daily routines, but it's not THAT similar.Quote:

I thought it was an excellent game. However, due to my short attention span, and the TONS of awesome games that were released in the last few months, I stopped playing.
As soon as I get a Gameshark, I'll unlock the NES games, and I'll play those for awhile. When I get tired of those, THEN I'll trade the game in. Maybe.
It's almost the same game, except with more of an emphasis on interaction with your neighbors. It has a similar feel in that you're doing a bunch of work and errands in a small town.Quote:

Yep. This game gets old by the third day. The attempt at a communication game is nice, but there really is no "game" here. It's a bunch of tedious fetch quests that get you nowhere and waste your time.Quote:
