ANIMAL CROSSING: POCKET Camp is now available on iOS and Android which means we’ve begun procrast-a-playing to our hearts content.
Long before the word phone had the letter ‘i’ preceding it though, we were flat out playing Animal Crossing on the GameCube (and later, the Nintendo DS). Even if you had no friends in real life (me), you had plenty of pals at hand in the game.
(Seriously, your neighbours would literally give you pictures of themselves to put in your house. And Paris Hilton thinks she invented the selfie).
A lot of Pocket Camp’s features are brand new, so we decided to look back and celebrate what made the old games so great.
