About

What Is ACUKE.com?

  • Animal Crossing: UK & Everywhere is a small group of Animal Crossing fans who like to play the Nintendo game together.
  • We also like to just hang out online, chat and share video gaming experiences.
  • Over time, we've become good friends, and like Animal Crossing, we're like a small village  - except the residents are from all over the world!

How We Started

  • On 19th April 2006, ACUKE (or Animal Crossing UK and Europe), began as a way for players in the UK and Europe to find Animal Crossing players to wirelessly game with, following the introduction of Animal Crossing: Wild World, and its online gaming function. 
  • Originally starting as a Yahoo! Groups mailing list, members started joining from all over the world, and ACUKE quickly dropped the 'Europe' aspect and became 'Everywhere'!
  • At our peak we had over 300 members. Today, however, we're at a steady 10-20 members who keep in touch and play together from time to time, and we think that works better for us!

Where Our Members Come From

  • The founder is from the UK, however long-time members come from the United States, and there are a handful of European members, too.
  • We've had members from Japan and Australia, but due to time-zone differences, it had been rather difficult to organise a play-time that suited everyone.

What We Get Up To

  • We have a simple motto:
Be Kind. Have Fun. Make Friends.
  • This has been at the heart of what we do since the start.
  • We've played five iterations of the Animal Crossing franchise together since 2006:
        • Animal Crossing: Wild World
        • Animal Crossing: Let's Go To The City / City Folk
        • Animal Crossing: New Leaf
        • Happy Home Designer
        • Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival
      • Some of us have played the original Animal Crossing game as well, but this is our group's history of playing together.
  • We have hosted group events and regular town visits, helped each other out during in-game festivals and events, held friendly competitions and shared our favourite Animal Crossing moments over the last 10+ years.

We're Family Friendly

  • Our members range from in their 20s to their 50s+. And we've also had younger members join with their parents, so we operate a very mindful PG-rated community. :)

We Love Games

  • We don't just talk about Animal Crossing (although... yes, yes we do... lol). Our members love to play games in general, and we've played lots of games between us, including:
        • Pokémon
        • Professor Layton
        • Harvest Moon
        • Disney Magical World
        • MySims
        • Mario Kart
        • and many, many more...!
