The game's newly added content includes a tropical [[Animal Island|island]] where players can help a local [[islander]] furnish their house, a [[museum]] for donating collectibles, a [[Able Sisters|tailor]] where players can create custom designs, and compatibility with the [[Nintendo e-Reader]] through a series of [[e-Reader card|cards]] released specifically for the game. |
The game was released in North America in 2002. To prepare the game for release, Nintendo of America embarked on an extensive localization, headed by Nate Bihldorff and Rich Amtower. Their efforts resulted in a substantial increase of in-game text compared to {{DnM}}, and the change of many distinctly-Japanese cultural elements to make them more recognizable to a western audience. Additional content was implemented, such as entirely new holidays, items, and characters. Certain events were also changed to have broader appeal in western regions. This version of the game was also later released in Australia in 2003, and across Europe in 2004. | The game was released in North America in 2002.

Just as in {{DnM}}, [[player]]s assume the role of a human setting out for a life of their own in a [[town]] of anthropomorphic [[list of villagers|animals]]. Each town is randomly generated, ensuring that no two players' experiences are identical. Gameplay within each village is open-ended, allowing players to engage in a variety of activities that suit their playstyle. Players can pick [[fruit]], grow [[tree]]s, [[flower|garden]], hunt for [[fossil]]s and [[fish]], catch [[bug]]s, do favors for the [[villager]]s, or decorate their [[Player house|homes]]. | Just as in {{DnM}}, [[player]]s assume the role of a human setting out for a life of their own in a [[town]] of anthropomorphic [[list of villagers|animals]].

To be considered for selection, applicants had to submit a written response of 50 words or less explaining why they should be chosen as Pioneers. Those selected received a special ''Animal Crossing'' disc marked "for promotional use only", along with a 59 block Memory Card and a promotional ''Animal Crossing'' calendar. Pioneers received the game a month early and were expected to help Nintendo generate online buzz in advance of the title's release. Pioneers were also given exclusive access to a web forum where they could discuss the game amongst themselves as well as provide feedback to Nintendo representatives. At the end of the experience, the Pioneers were invited to an online chat with a few of the members of the game's localization team<ref>{{Cite web|author=MobyGames|url=https://www.mobygames.com/forums/dga,2/dgb,8/dgm,63261/|title=Animal Crossing Pioneer}}</ref>. An analysis of the standard and promotional game disc concluded that the two were byte identical<ref>{{Cite web|author=Redump|url=http://redump.org/disc/5169/|title=Animal Crossing}}</ref>, meaning that no changes were made to the final version as a result of Pioneer feedback. The promotional copy and calendar have since become collector's items, with one set selling for over $500 on eBay in March 2014<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201024004426/https://www.ebay.com/itm/Animal-Crossing-Pioneer-Disc-Calendar-Reward-Gift-Great-Cond-Ultra-Rare-Promo-/301124433392?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l10137.c10&nordt=true&rt=nc&orig_cvip=true|title=Animal Crossing Pioneer Disc & Calendar Reward Gift Great Cond.
