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
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...!
