Animal Crossing is a social simulator that has been dubbed a "communication game" by Nintendo. It is an open-ended game, where a player can live a separate life with little preset plot or mandatory tasks. Players assume the role of a new resident to the town. The gender of your character depends on the answers given to Rover on the train.
It is rumored that this character will be a playable character in the upcoming game Super Smash Bros. Brawl. If so, players may be able to change the gender as a costume. There are also certain tasks which players can choose to complete and goals they can choose to achieve. The game is played out in real-time - observing days, weeks, months and even years - 29, according to Nintendo- using the GameCube's internal clock. There are many actual events and holidays spanning the year, including Independence Day, Halloween and Thanksgiving, among others. Other regular activities such as early morning fitness classes and fishing tournaments are included in the game as well. (Wikipedia)
Gameplay Hints
Duplicate money and items This trick requires two Game Boy Advances and a link cable. Connect Game Boy Advance #1 to the Gamecube using your link cable and turn it on. Go to your island (located on the dock at the edge of the ocean). When you finally get to the island, drop off the item or money that you wish to duplicate. Leave the island. When Kapp'n asks if you want to save your island to your Game Boy Advance, select "Yes". After it is done downloading to your
Game Boy Advance, you can put it in sleep mode, disconnect it, and set it aside.
When you get back to your town, attach Game Boy Advance #2 and turn it on. Leave that screen then immediately return to it. Talk to Kapp'n to go back to your island. After you start leaving you can turn Game Boy Advance #2 off. When you get to your island, pick up the item that you left there then leave the island again. This time when Kapp'n asks you to save your island to your Game Boy Advance, answer "No".
When you get back to your town, disconnect Game Boy Advance #2 and connect Game Boy Advance #1 (make sure it is not in sleep mode). Leave the screen and return. Talk to Kapp'n once more. Your island should upload from your Game Boy Advance. When you get to your island, your item will be there again and you will already have it in your pockets. Pick up your item from the ground. You now have two of them. This will also work with multiple items.
Mr. Resetti Reset the Gamecube during the game. Start the game again and Mr. Resetti will appear to complain. Repeat this to make him more angry.
Getting NES games Talk to the townspeople until they ask you when your birthday is. Most of them will say something similar to "How would you like a train set for your birthday?" Answer "Yes" and you will put in your birthday. On your birthday, one of the townsfolk will be outside your house. He or she will present you with a NES. For example, Virgos will get Donkey Kong.
Growing a money tree First, find a glowing piece of earth. Dig it up and you get a money bag. Plant the money bag in the glowing hole and a seedling will sprout, which will grow in to a money tree.
