Animal Crossing: Wild World

Taking the underlying foundation and adding sweet, sweet portability, Animal Crossing: Wild World was the ideal game on the perfect platform. Having your town with you on the move made a huge difference for many gamers, allowing you to check turnip prices in bed, water your plants on your way to work, or double-check that your favorite animal buddy wasn't packing their bags during your lunch break. The Nintendo DS's portability makes the globe more accessible and its delights more accessible to the masses.

Many individuals began their love affair with the series here, with intuitive usage of the touch screen and the day-night cycle reflected in the sky continuously visible on the top screen. Subsequent entries may have refined its mechanics and smoothed off Wild World's rough edges, but the series' brilliance shone brilliantly on DS.
