The '''''Animal Crossing''''' (どうぶつの森, ''Dōbutsu no Mori'', lit. ''Animal Forest'') video game series is a series of communication adventure games exclusively for [[Nintendo]] consoles. The game progresses in [[Wikipedia:real time (media)|real time]] in a [[wikipedia:Nonlinear gameplay|nonlinear]] format. All of the games are rated 'E' for Everyone by the [[wikipedia:Entertainment Software Rating Board|ESRB]] and 3+ by [[wikipedia:Pan European Game Information|PEGI]]. The [[player]] takes the role of a human in a [[Town|village]] of [[Villager|animals]] and may take on tasks from villagers, pay off their [[mortgage]], [[Flora (plants)|garden]], [[fish]], catch [[Bug|insects]], and more.

'''''Animal Crossing'''''{{Note|{{Nihongo foot|どうぶつの森|Dōbutsu no Mori|Animal Forest}}}} is a series of social simulation video games developed by [[Nintendo]] and created by [[Katsuya Eguchi]] and [[Hisashi Nogami]]. The series revolves around a human [[player]] character living in a town inhabited by animals and performing tasks such as [[fishing]], catching [[bug]]s, socializing with the [[villager]]s, or collecting items. ''Animal Crossing'' is open-ended and uses the system's internal clock to simulate taking place in real-time, with the gameplay changing based on the time of day and year, and special events happening on certain days in the year.
 +
==Creation==
 +
The ''Animal Crossing'' series was made by [[Katsuya Eguchi]] and [[Hisashi Nogami]]. Eguchi got the idea for ''Animal Crossing'' when he moved to Kyoto to work at Nintendo. Speaking to Edge Magazine in 2008 he said: ''"Animal Crossing features three themes: family, friendship and community. But the reason I wanted to investigate them was a result of being so lonely when I arrived in Kyoto! Chiba is east of Tokyo and quite a distance from Kyoto, and when I moved there I left my family and friends behind. In doing so, I realised that being close to them – being able to spend time with them, talk to them, play with them – was such a great, important thing. I wondered for a long time if there would be a way to recreate that feeling, and that was the impetus behind the original Animal Crossing.''" <ref>{{cite web|author=James Newton|date=December 14, 2011|url=https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2011/12/feature_celebrating_10_years_of_animal_crossing|title=Celebrating 10 Years of Animal Crossing|site=Nintendo Life|retrieved=October 24, 2023}}</ref>

==Gameplay==

As an [[wikipedia:Nonlinear gameplay|open-ended]] [[wikipedia:life simulation game|life simulation game]], the {{SER|nolink}} does not have a set objective. As such, after an introductory sequence at the beginning of the games, [[player]]s are free to do as they like. The only 'objective' in the game, if any, is to pay off the [[mortgage]] placed upon the player's [[House (player)|house]]—but, like most activities within the game, this is entirely optional and does not incur any consequences, other than having less space to store items.

In every [[town]] in the {{SER|nolink}}, the village itself is populated entirely by [[:Category:Species|animals]] (excluding the [[player]], who is the only human shown in the entire series). Villagers are [[wikipedia:Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]], and as such, are able to speak, walk in a humanoid manner, use [[tool]]s, and wear clothes. They serve as interactive characters who are assigned [[Villager#Personalities|personalities]] and traits, and this affects the way they communicate with you and among themselves. Villagers are capable of [[conversation]], have unique interests and [[catchphrase]]s, and live in their own [[House (villager)|domains]] within the town.

Villagers will often ask the player to perform tasks for them (ranging from delivering [[presents]] to sending messages to another human player). Players can incur a reward if tasks are executed in the set time. In later games, they are also capable of playing games with the player, such as [[hide-and-seek]].  Villagers [[Moving|move]] in and out of the town regularly due to certain factors (e.g. because the player has exchanged animals with another village over [[wikipedia:Wi-Fi|Wi-Fi]]), or simply because they are not satisfied with their current life). It is said that they enjoy receiving [[letters]], and if sent a gift, they will usually send one in return.

==Customization==
 
−
Although earlier games offered few options in terms of customization, more recent games feature the ability to not only customize [[Shampoodle|appearance]], but also [[wallpaper]]s, [[carpets]] and [[furniture]] in their [[House (player)|home]], as well as the home's [[house customization|exterior]]. It is also possible to decorate the ground outdoors with [[design]]s.

==Activities==
+
===Customization===
−
Despite being an [[wikipedia:Nonlinear gameplay|open-ended game]], ''Animal Crossing'' does provide some activities to pass the time and help "complete" certain aspects of the gameplay (such as completing exhibits within the [[museum]]). Some of these activities include [[Bug|bug-catching]], [[fishing]], [[Fossils|fossil-hunting]], and even item-collecting (the latter an objective to complete the player's [[catalog]]). Players can also interact in games of [[hide-and-seek]] with [[villagers]], participate in festivals and town [[events]], and generally do as they like within the game.
+
Although earlier games offer few options in terms of customization, more recent games like {{NH|nolink}} feature the ability to not only customize the appearance of the player, but also more [[designing]] options in term of interior and exterior. Interior designing aspects include [[wallpaper]]s, [[flooring]], [[rugs]], lighting, [[soundscapes]], and [[furniture]] in the player's [[Player house|home]], as well as the home's [[house customization|exterior]] changes. Exterior designing aspects include the placement of either furniture, [[public works project]]s, [[bridges]], or [[incline]] depending on the game, as well as the changes made to the town's flora and landscaping via the [[Island Designer Construction Permit]].

This article is about the series. For the specific game in the series with the same name, see Animal Crossing.
International logo for the Animal Crossing series

Animal Crossing[nb 1] is a series of social simulation video games developed by Nintendo and created by Katsuya Eguchi and Hisashi Nogami. The series revolves around a human player character living in a town inhabited by animals and performing tasks such as fishing, catching bugs, socializing with the villagers, or collecting items. Animal Crossing is open-ended and uses the system's internal clock to simulate taking place in real-time, with the gameplay changing based on the time of day and year, and special events happening on certain days in the year.

Creation[edit]

The Animal Crossing series was made by Katsuya Eguchi and Hisashi Nogami. Eguchi got the idea for Animal Crossing when he moved to Kyoto to work at Nintendo. Speaking to Edge Magazine in 2008 he said: "Animal Crossing features three themes: family, friendship and community. But the reason I wanted to investigate them was a result of being so lonely when I arrived in Kyoto! Chiba is east of Tokyo and quite a distance from Kyoto, and when I moved there I left my family and friends behind. In doing so, I realised that being close to them – being able to spend time with them, talk to them, play with them – was such a great, important thing. I wondered for a long time if there would be a way to recreate that feeling, and that was the impetus behind the original Animal Crossing." [1]

Gameplay[edit]

Objectives[edit]

As an open-ended life simulation game, the Animal Crossing series does not have a set objective. As such, after an introductory sequence at the beginning of the games, players are free to do as they like. The only "objective" in the game, if any, is to pay off the mortgage placed upon the player's house—but, like most activities within the game, this is entirely optional and does not incur any consequences, other than having less space to store items.

Villagers[edit]

Main article: Villager

In every town in the Animal Crossing series, the village itself is populated entirely by animals (excluding the player, who is the only human shown in the entire series). Villagers are anthropomorphic, and as such, can speak, walk in a humanoid manner, use tools, and wear clothes. They serve as interactive characters who are assigned personalities and traits, and this affects the way they communicate with you and among themselves. Villagers are capable of conversation, have unique interests and catchphrases, and live in their own domains within the town.

Villagers will often ask the player to perform tasks for them (ranging from delivering presents to sending messages to another human player). Players can incur a reward if tasks are executed in the set time. In later games, they are also capable of playing games with the player, such as hide-and-seek. Villagers move in and out of the town regularly due to certain factors (e.g. because the player has exchanged animals with another village over Wi-Fi), or simply because they are not satisfied with their current life). It is said that they enjoy receiving letters, and if sent a gift, they will usually send one in return.

Customization[edit]

Although earlier games offer few options in terms of customization, more recent games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons feature the ability to not only customize the appearance of the player, but also more designing options in term of interior and exterior. Interior designing aspects include wallpapers, flooring, rugs, lighting, soundscapes, and furniture in the player's home, as well as the home's exterior changes. Exterior designing aspects include the placement of either furniture, public works projects, bridges, or incline depending on the game, as well as the changes made to the town's flora and landscaping via the Island Designer Construction Permit.

Activities[edit]

Despite being an open-ended game, Animal Crossing does provide some activities to pass the time and help "complete" certain aspects of the gameplay (such as completing exhibits within the museum). Some of these activities include bug-catching, fishing, fossil-hunting, and even item-collecting (the latter an objective to complete the player's catalog). Players can also interact in games of hide-and-seek with villagers, participate in festivals and town events, and generally do as they like within the game.
