I've got both of the Animal Crossing games released here in America---AC:GameCube and ACS. I'm torn as to which one I like more. The GameCube version is so much smoother, has all of those cool NES games to play (I played Pinball quite often), and is generally more exciting. But the DS version has online play, what seems like more furniture and clothing options, and the ability to type with the touchpad is a godsend. However, I haven't played either in quite a while. I do have a RSS subscription to an Animal Crossing website so that I don't miss any Nintendo Wifi giveaways, but I haven't played it in so long. Hence, the weeds.

My favorite characters are probably Moe the lazy blue cat and Bluebear the blue bear. I think Bluebear is in both versions, but I am not sure about Moe. These, of course, are arbitrary picks for favorites since they have a cut and paste personality of at least 20 other animals. More personality types would be what I'd like to see in the next Animal Crossing.

I would fire up my GameCube version and play it, but I have lost the town of Elysium and all of my accomplishments.
