Animal Crossing, known in Japan as Dōbutsu no Mori (どうぶつの森?), is a life simulation video game developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo. It was originally published for the Nintendo 64 in Japan on April 14, 2001. It was enhanced and re-released on the GameCube in Japan later the same year as Dōbutsu no Mori + (どうぶつの森+?). It was then released in other countries in 2002-2004. Finally a third version, Dōbutsu no Mori e+ (どうぶつの森e+?), was released only in Japan in 2003.
Animal Crossing is an open-ended game in which the player character moves into a village populated with anthropomorphic animals. Throughout the game, the player can interact with the animals as well as other players through the GameCube's memory card. The game is synced with the GameCube's internal clock and calendar, allowing the game to be played in real-time, which also follows seasons and holidays.
