April 2001 saw the Japan-exclusive release of a game called ''Animal Forest'' (どうぶつの森, ''Dōbutsu no Mori''), a life-simulation title for the Nintendo 64 that received an enhanced remake for the Nintendo Gamecube eight months later. Nintendo of America decided to localize this version of the game for release in the United States, and during the immense translation process many more new features were added, resulting in the final product, '''''Animal Crossing''''', released on September 2002. The game, which had more-or-less already been "promoted to" western audiences via cameo appearances from some of its characters in 2001's ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', was a breakout hit and received high marks for its quirky and charming approach to the social simulation genre, and Nintendo of Japan was impressed enough with NOA's version that it was translated back and released for essentially the third time in that country.  
The first entry in the series titled ''Animal Forest'' (どうぶつの森, ''{{s|nookipedia|Dōbutsu no Mori}}''), released in April 2001 as a Japan-exclusive life-simulation title for the [[Nintendo 64]]. The game was made internally at Nintendo by many of the same staff that worked on ''{{s|supermariowiki|Yoshi's Story}}''. The team originally planned for the game to be released on the {{s|nintendowiki|Nintendo 64DD}} to take advantage of its writable floppy disks and real-time clock. However, after the many delays and eventual abandonment of the 64DD, the game was transferred to a standard cartridge with a real-time clock built into the Game Pak, the first and only game on the system to do so, as well as utilizing the Controller Pak to save data. The game received an enhanced remake for the Nintendo [[GameCube]] eight months later titled ''{{s|nookipedia|Dōbutsu no Mori+}}''. This version is basically a direct port of the original version with updated textures and utilizing memory cards and the system's internal clock. This made the game files so small in size that it is one of the few games that can fit entirely on the system memory, meaning it can still play even if the disc is removed. Nintendo of America decided to localize this version of the game for release in the United States, and during the immense translation process many more new features like whole dialogue options and new holiday items were added, resulting in the final product, ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing}}'', released on September 2002. The game, which had more-or-less already been "promoted to" western audiences via cameo appearances from some of its characters in 2001's ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', was a breakout hit and received high marks for its quirky and charming approach to the social simulation genre, and Nintendo of Japan was impressed enough with NOA's version that it was translated back and released for essentially the third time in that country, titled ''{{s|nookipedia|Dōbutsu no Mori e+}}''.  


''Animal Crossing'' was established as one of Nintendo's regular franchises following the GameCube release, and every sequel in the ''Animal Crossing'' series had since been released worldwide. From a Western perspective, the second game was ''Animal Crossing: Wild World'', released for the Nintendo DS in late 2005, which introduced an online play component to the series. The third game, ''Animal Crossing: City Folk'' (or ''Let's Go To The City'' in PAL regions) for the Wii in late 2008, added a city outside of the main town as a new area that could be visited. The fourth game, ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf'' for the Nintendo 3DS on June 2013, allows the player character to become the mayor of the town and obtain new customization options for it. In 2017, ''Animal Crossing'' became the fourth Nintendo IP to receive a spinoff for smartphones, with ''Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp'', a campsite management game. On March 20th 2020, ''Animal Crossing: New Horizons'' was released on the Nintendo Switch, being the first game since ''City Folk'' to release on a home console. The game itself was massively popular, beating out both ''Wild World'' and ''New Leaf'' to become the best-selling game in the franchise. The franchise had also spawned an anime film that was released only in Japan, and ''Animal Crossing'' properties steadily grew in representation in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games until a character representing a typical ''Animal Crossing'' player-character was included as a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' as "{{SSB4|Villager}}".
''Animal Crossing'' was established as one of Nintendo's regular franchises following the GameCube release, and every sequel in the ''Animal Crossing'' series had since been released worldwide. From a Western perspective, the second game was ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: Wild World}}'', released for the [[Nintendo DS]] in late 2005, which introduced an online play component to the series. The game also removed region-specific content as a way for all players to potentially have the same experience. The third game, ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: City Folk}}'' (or ''Let's Go To The City'' in PAL regions) for the Wii in late 2008, added a city outside of the main town as a new area that could be visited. The fourth game, ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: New Leaf}}'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] on November 2012 in Japan and the rest of the world throughout 2013, allows the player character to become the mayor of the town and obtain new customization options for it. This game received an update in 2016 titled  ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo}}'', which introduced [[amiibo]] functionality. In 2017, ''Animal Crossing'' became the fourth Nintendo IP to receive a spinoff for smartphones, with ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp}}'', a campsite management game. On March 20th 2020, ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: New Horizons}}'' was released on the Nintendo Switch, being the first game since ''City Folk'' to release on a home console.

In a given ''Animal Crossing'' game, the player's avatar, a [[Villager|human boy or girl]], moves into a randomly-generated village in a forest that is populated by anthropomorphic, talking animals that are all roughly his or her size (despite the large range of animal species the villagers encompass). In ''New Horizons'', the player and two other villagers are instead taken to a deserted island as part of the Deserted Island Getaway Package offered by [[Tom Nook]]. Once the avatar is settled into their living quarters, they may interact with and perform errands for the amiable residents on a day-to-day basis, amassing wealth (in the form of a type of currency called "bells") and a variety of decorative paraphernalia for their own house. Additionally in ''New Horizons'', the player can decorate their island by placing down furniture and using the {{s|Nookipedia|Island Designer Construction Permit}} to customize cliffs and rivers to their preferred setting. The series is generally is open-ended in that there are no objectives to complete and no way to "beat" the game per se, though one may pursue goals such as collecting all available types of bugs and fish in the game world. However, ''New Horizons'' does give a main objective of attracting [[K.K. Slider]] on the island, requiring the player to amass a 3-star rating by decorating and inviting villagers on to their island. The only "long term" goal in all the games for players to complete in order to access an unrestricted play experience is that they must amass enough wealth to regularly pay off their house's mortgage whenever the town shopkeeper and real-estate agent, Tom Nook the tanuki, upgrades the floor space of their house. Each game released tracks the real-world passage of time through the platform's internal calendar and affects the status of the player's village appropriately even when that village is not being played, and a player's avatar is able to visit the village of another player's copy of the game.

The ''Animal Crossing'' franchise was anonymously introduced to Western gamers through ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', a full year before ''Animal Crossing''’s international release, but not as an established universe. The only appearances of the franchise in the fighting game are as three collectible trophies, each depicting one of ''Animal Crossing''’s staple characters.

It takes place on a simply-laid-out pair of platforms that may be floating around above town, with several characters standing and walking around in the background of the lower platform. In homage to the ''Animal Crossing'' tradition of environmental effects based on time of the day, the stage will display its background based on the time of the day it is when a match is fought on it, such as battles at night being set at that time. If the stage is played at 8:00 Saturday night, a concert-style performance by [[K.K. Slider]] will be playing in the background while the brawl is on.

*[[File:VillagerIcon(SSB4-U).png|50px|right]]'''{{SSB4|Villager}}''' ([[Starter character|Starter]]): the playable character from ''Animal Crossing'' debuts as a [[newcomer]], taking his design from the cover of ''Animal Crossing: City Folk''. He was revealed on June 11, 2013 during [[E3 2013]] in the first trailer for ''Smash 4''. All eight of his costumes are based off of other possible appearances from ''Animal Crossing: City Folk'', four of which are female. The Villager uses various tools from the ''Animal Crossing'' series to assist him in battle. Villager can [[pocket]] a wide range of projectile attacks and items to store for later use. His [[side special]], [[Lloid Rocket]], allows Villager to either shoot Lloid as a rocket, or ride him as an effective horizontal recovery. His [[up special]] is {{b|Balloon Trip|move}}, which allows Villager to fly around with balloons. His [[down special]] [[Timber]] is a three state move. Using it once on the ground causes Villager to plant a sapling. Using it a second time causes him to water it which makes it grow into a mature tree. Using it a third time causes Villager to swing his axe. Doing so on the tree can cut it down. Contact with the falling tree results in significant knockback and damage. Villager's [[Final Smash]], [[Dream Home]], involves [[Tom Nook]] and his nephews, [[Timmy & Tommy]], trapping the opponent in a house being built, which then blows up.
