Nintendo's Animal Crossing social simulation series got its start on the Nintendo 64 in '01 and it's still going strong more than two decades later. Animal Crossing is an open-ended gaming experience that's more interested in an accurate simulation in the passage of time rather than big boss battles or a set number of goals. Players build a life for themselves in a quaint village that's filled with anthropomorphic animals where anything from gardening, to fishing, to interior decorating are fair game.
