Important information
As of 27/03/2023, it will no longer be possible to make purchases in Nintendo eShop for Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.
Welcome to the friendly village of Animal Crossing! Every player's village is unique and it's up to you to decide how you spend your time there, and which characters you befriend.
Unlike other games, Animal Crossing doesn’t pressure you to complete levels, achieve scores or learn complex controls; you simply play however - and whenever - you want. For instance, at the start of the game you are given a house and a mortgage to pay, but you can choose to pay off that mortgage any way you wish. You could help out at the local shop, become a treasure hunter and donate your findings to the Town's museum, or make money selling T-shirts you designed yourself.
The time in-game will pass in real time, so different activities and surprises happen depending on the time of the day. Return to the village frequently to discover special events only happening on certain dates, such as birthdays and other celebrations.
Please note: Wireless communication features of the original game, such as Multi-Card Play and DS Download Play, are not available in the Wii U Virtual Console version. This game supports one player on Wii U Virtual Console.
