(The title is) TOO LONG to write here.
I can't remember... I think I was 9? When one of my cousins gave me Wild World. Though I wasn't super into it until I was 10 and I think the very same cousin gave me New Leaf. (I deleted that save about a year later in a fit of rage after accidentally selling my shovel and the shop didn't have the shovel that day OR the day after...)
Though it'd basically always been a series I was aware of. I think I remember being 6 or 7 and watching a YouTuber whose Minecraft series(?) I liked playing through New Leaf and thinking it looked super fun lol

Oh jeez. I was 7 or 8 when I played my first Animal Crossing. I think I was 8 actually because it was right before I moved from my home state and I thought we were moving to Arizona, so that's what I named my first town. So 2004 was when I started playing the game for the first time. Brings back great memories, I will always love the original intro music.
I was eight years old, started playing in Jan 2008 with the original gamecube game

Not sure of the exact age, but between 4-6 years old. I know we had a GameCube in our home and I was becoming literate/intelligent enough to search up things online.
The first time I ever played animal crossing was when I was 7 or 8. I still thought robot chicken was funny at that age (oh how hopeless I was).
The town fruit was pears and I absolutely loved the music while working for Tom Nook. It wasn't my cartridge, but it made playing the game feel extra special. I planted an orchard, worked hard for my bells, and had a blast playing the game without knowing about time travel or any of that jazz.

I can't quite remember if I was 11 or 12. I didn't have enough games for my GameCube, and I saw it while I was browsing the video game section in a movie rental store. I picked it up because it had 'animal' in the title, and quickly bought a used copy after I fell in love with it.
I was 6! Animal crossing definitely helped me with vocabulary! Those animals know some fancy words
I was 15 when I first started playing New Leaf on the Nintendo 3ds I remember seeing it advertised everywhere and thought it looked so cute.
I then watched some people reviewing and playing it on youtube and was like yep this is cute I need this game.

Grateful to finally be back home... 😌
I was the "young" age of 36 when my brother convinced me to play ACNH as the world was shutting down due to the pandemic. I became completely obsessed 
& played that game until I finished absolutely everything to do in it. And then I decided to try ACNL (thanks to my brother sharing his 3DS XL with me) to see what the hype was about from those that said it was a better game overall compared to New Horizons, and my verdict to that claim is: I get it! ACNL was definitely a more polished game, & I kinda wish that I was part of the initial hoopla around its release, but I just gave birth to my son at that time, so I wouldn't have had the time anyways.

Believe it or not, but I was 12 when I played pocket camp for the first time, I was the same age when I first played New Horizons! (I'm 16 now!)

8 or 9. I had a sleepover with like 4 or 5 friends for my birthday and two of them had Animal Crossing on their DS, which I had never heard of before. They let me make a character in their Wild Worod town and I was obsessed. I had my mom take me to buy the game the next day with my birthday money and I've been obsessed since!
