~ Resetti on saving your game
Animal Crossing: Wild World is a video game based on the popular Frank Miller comic series, Sin City. In it, players move into a quiet town, and are given time to establish themselves before the seedy underbelly of the little hamlet is exposed. The gameplay is non-linear, but some objectives are very linear, often compared to walking down a tunnel or playing Final Fantasy X, with the end of the tunnel not coming for 365 in-game days. There is an online option, although people online are usually out to get you. The game is available on Nintendo DS, Nintendo 64(in Japan), and Gamecube.
Although there are few differences between the three versions, this article will mostly handle the DS Version.

[edit] Plot
The plot unfolds slowly, as the characters develop themselves and you gain their trust. Eventually, you can position yourself to either take them down, betray them and rule over them, or simply co-exist with them. Along the way, you are able to collect a vast number of furniture and clothing. Many of the pieces belong to a "theme" of some type, such as the "Exotic" or "Kiddie" sets of furniture, or one can purchase full pirate regalia. Some of these have Feng Shui attributes, but most of them just look wicked cool.
To activate the boss battle, there is a secret section in which you have to dance and beatbox your way to victory. It is a difficult mission, driving many to insanity. However, the boss battle is just one of the many, many alternate endings of the game. To find them all, you will have to play the game countless years. It has been debated whether or not it is actually worth spending such large amounts of time on a game about virtual expatiating mammals, and the consensus is that the point is very little, if existent at all.
[edit] Your Character
The game unfolds in Kapp'n's taxi (an annoying character who fails at not talking) where he is bringing you out to a city within Animal Crossing. There is an option in the game to give it your own nickname, and many players do. It is raining out, and Kapp'n grills you for some information, which he will later sell to one of the major players in the town. This information also helps to determine how the in-game town will function, as well as the number of scars and other facial details that the character will have.
[edit] Moving In
The Taxi pulls up in front of the Town Hall, and Kapp'n drives off with all of your money and posessions, which he will pawn off for a cheap hit. You then are left to go into the Town hall and deal with Phyllis to make the report. From the moment you enter, and realize that she is a pelican speed-freak, and you are a human, you know that it's going to be a long day. She gives you the keys to your new home, and sends you off with a vague promise that the "Police are looking into it".
[edit] Tom Nook's Slavery
Upon arriving to your home, you will find a tiny shack. A Raccoon Tanuki approaches you and informs you that not only is this sub-standard box your home, but you now owe him money, and that he will send goons around to break your kneecaps. In order to lessen the overall debt, however, he offers to let you do a few chores for him; just this once (a ball- breaking job). He gives you a "uniform" and has you run "packages" to some of your neighbors. He also has you decorate the town, perform a simple hit, and introduce yourself to the neighbors. At the end of this tutorial, he announces that you still need to raise 18,000 Bells (the in-game currency) to pay off the house. If you fail to pay this debt, Nook will cement your feet and drop you in the river. He then proceeds to sell your house off to the highest bidder; your house has often become a bone of contention among the neighbors.
Luckily for the player, Nook is too lazy to actually follow through on his threat.
[edit] Your Neighbors
All over town, there are spaces where random people will move in. These neighbors will befriend or annoy you. They will give you errands to run, gifts for every time you move up the ranks, money, and they'll ask for certain items. They seem to fall into five categories of "personalities": Pimps, Whores, Lab Rats, ,Bent Cops and Naked people.
They will move in and out at random, and have random hobbies and personalities; thus it's somewhat pointless to list them. It is also quite fun to hit them with nets or push them around......they get pissed easy.
[edit] Weapons and Tools
This is what people really want to read about: how to take control of the town! Nook sells a variety of tools in his store, all of which have basic, and more sinister purposes. The axe, useful for cutting trees and for hacking off animals' limbs in "self-defense". The shovel, which can be used to bury fruit or bodies(be wary, as a tree carrying 3 times as many bodies as you buried will grow shortly after). The watering can, to be used for growing weed and, on occasion, drowning people (special code). The Glock, which is used to shoot down packages of drugs carried by balloons or messenger pigeons. The bug net, which is used to catch bugs. The timer, which is useful for knowing how long to allow for cement to dry, and finally the fishing rod, which can be used to, um, catch fish... The Bug Zapper, can be used when doing Wi Fi. Basically, you get a friend to mail you one of their insects. You tell them that your are going to make it into a golden insect but your friend don't know that it's a trick. You simpally get out your bug zapper and throw the bug inside. "ZZZAPPP!" The bug is dead. The next thing you do is turn the power button off so when you turn it on again, Ressette comes to give you a hassle. Well no worries anymore. You just simpally throw the bug zapper at him. "ZZZZAPPPPP!!" No trouble. No worries because that stupid mole is... DEAD! You will never have to listen to his bullshit EVER AGAIN!
All of the tools, with the exception of the timer, can be upgraded to a "Golden" version, which will allow some mysterious new "functions". You will have to figure these out on your own, however.
[edit] The Final Battle
The game ends with the final boss battle against Tom Nook. In the game's final (scripted) battle, Your Character has access to Omnislash regardless of whether the player has obtained it in the game proper. Due to the fight's cinematic nature, it is impossible for Your Character to lose. The scene represents Your Character's and Tom Nook's spirits battling one another for the final time, as Holy was still unable to take action so long as Tom Nook's will was in play. After the battle, Holy activates and attempts to destroy the meteor. It failed and the town was vaporized in the resulting explosion.

[edit] Sales & Critical Reaction
Animal Crossing DS sold at least 20 copies during the first week after launch, making it the most successful DS game like, ever. The unique ability for the game to switch between touch screen and button interfaces without any difference between the two was a breakthrough for the system.
Reviews of the game were fairly positive with Internet Site GameFakes giving it Lol, Furries out of a possible 10. Japanese magazine Famitsu gave it OMG FFXII out of Fanservice. On the opposite end of the spectrum, however, was magazine GameMisInformer, commenting that "Nintendo Sux" and "It needed more gangsters".
Animal Crossing's good sales has prompted Nintendo to announce the production of an Animal Crossing Hentai-Anime.

Animal Crossing: Wilde World
After becomingly shit-massively popular, Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde enthusiasts decided that the most appropriate way to pay tribute to the series would be for a NEW edition of the game, where the characters quote the great Wilde man himself.
