    Totally agree. These are my 5 thanks from the post comparing the two

    4 men. For two games that are itsy-bitsy-cutesy-wootsey. Definitely no demographic :)

    40 year old man here. I put about 80 hours into Animal Crossing when it came out. I got Fantasy Life and it's a better game in every way. About 20 hours since I got it a week or two ago.

    Pretty sure that's 5 men! And I'm in my mid 30s...

    And so it came to pass, the wish list grew beyond reasonable logic.

    Yep, male, early 30s, 50 hours into Fantasy Life and loving it. Not sure what this thread means for the demographic!

    I kind of want to know who wasn't being counted there :p

    30-something blokes that hate life sims are most definitely not the demographic :P

    I'm 21, 6'5" and a full head of hair....
    In my head

    Unfortunately others see me as I am, 43, 6'2" and the hair has started it's migration from the crown to the ears and nostrils :(

    Sorry! I was trying to not make assumptions with your name but I just realised that be just saying "4 men" I was implying you were not. Oops!

    Heh, it's understandable. I just haven't evolved to Electabuzz yet ;)

    I would say Fantasy Life is more of an RPG than a life sim and the "Lifes" are really gathering/crafting/combat job classes.

    We have retrogamers in their 20's, men in their 30's who play relationship sims and those who still are trying to catch'em all despite pushing 50.

    Late 30s myself, are we all trying to recapture our childhood? Genuinely surprised with the age spread.

    Never a fan of the sims though, and never played a Pokemon game.

    I enjoy Animal Crossing (till I've everything paid off / upgraded, then it gets boring fast) but I couldn't stand most 'life' sims like... erm... the sims...

    Jumping between Etrian Odyssey IV and Mario Golf at the moment. They work in perfect harmony with each other.

    I'll be 40 in June so much like a few of the oldies here, I'm a Nintendo Peter Pan. :D

    Haven't played Nintendo since last weekend as I'm trying to teach my 5 year old how to use a keyboard and mouse (he's been spoiled with touch screens up to now).
    Minecraft certainly helps with that I can tells us!

    Probably dropping back into Hyrule Warriors later today since the last DLC is meant to be out (we get it the same day as Japan). Playing as Ganon looks so much fun :D

    I've been playing Majoras Mask (for the first time!) and I'm really enjoying it. About half way through the game with two dungeons cleared and about 10 masks. I'll also dipping in and out of Smash Bros. 3DS and Theatrhythm. Both excellent time sinks.

    Yeah I've put over 70 hours into Theatrhythm between the two games. Brilliant for flights.

    Played two hours of Chrono Trigger on the Super Nintendo this morning, very very enjoyable stuff.
    I think it's out on VC, so why don't you own it already?
    Also available for the DS too.

    I got pretty far in that a few years ago, but got to a point where a boss kept kicking my ass so I just kind of left it.

    Still playing super Mario Galaxy 2 since the virtual console release. I've about 30 stars left to get to 120 and there's no way in hell I'm going after the green stars.
    I'm trying to stick to one game to completion but I'm not sure it's the right thing to do anymore. I've loads of games waiting to be played and it's tough going.

    Think you might have the wrong forum for your cross-dressing parties though... We don't discriminate, but it's more PG round here...

    Got back into playing Animal Crossing a couple of nights ago when the grind of Persona Q got me down. Now instead I'm spending the wee hours of the morning catching giant beetles to pay off my mortgage. (38 BTW, and back when it came out my then-4 year old shared my town with me. She lost interest a lot quicker than I did :)) I really don't need another Fantasy Life... damn you, Nintendo thread...

    Ah it wasn't that kind of party I swear ;)
    All started when one friend (male) turned up at our Halloween fancy dress as Lara Croft and became a tradition after that. Princess Leia, Maggie Thatcher, the English Queen...fun times!

    What's this thread turned into? Some kinda Fantasy Life anonymous. Hi,I'm owaynott. I'm 31 and I've spent 5 hours as a tailor in fantasy life killing carrots and looking for cabbages. And I'm dressed as a highlander.
