Here my first moment when I play new leaf for the first time on the I was talking to Rover on the train about my town and when I come out the train station outside one of the three villagers was another blue cat that look similar to Rover and then when I get to know him more he share the same first name as Tom nook.

Nerd voice: actually Tom Nook isn’t a landlord because he doesn’t collect rent. He’s an independent contractor who only asks to be reimbursed for his work. Screw all haters.
They literally call it a mortgage in New Leaf. He owns all your debt. He doesn't need to have monthly deadlines because you are trapped. We don't know how much it truly cost to build that addition to your house
FlightlessChicken eh, mortgage is just a fancy term for a secured loan. Contractors can put a lien on your property for unpaid labor. He builds the houses, secures you an interest free loan, and never collects rent. That’s pure socialism right there.
@@retroinspect How do we know it's interest free? I don't remember him saying that; though he might of, it's been years. And even if he did, we never see an invoice. We have no way to say if they actually interest free Edit: removed )
FlightlessChicken well I haven’t paid him in 20 years and he hasn’t come for my kneecaps so I’d say that’s pretty interest free. But in every game he says take your time. You get interest from the “bank” in the game but if you owe Tom Nook 50 bells it’ll always be 50 bells.
On having Animal Crossing nightmares as a kid, I distinctly remember one I had where Tom Nook gave me a new house and inside the house was a single chair. When I sat on the chair, the floor turned into a portal to hell. Yup.
honestly my favorite part about reading that wasn't the fact that the chair sends you to hell but rather you just, saw a random chair in the middle of your house and the first thing you did was sit in it.
Honestly seeing K.K. Slider talk to you in every game makes me so happy. It's like seeing an old friend! ...except the resolution keeps getting higher every time. :p

My grandma played animal crossing for hours. I helped her get the golden tools and we tried looking up guilds using our bad early 2010s Internet. I feel in love with the world and characters and to this day it one of my fav game series of all time.
Funny, the only time I see anyone claiming Nintendo is locking content behind a paywall, was those Amibo figures. The Gameboy linking to the Gamecube was accepted because owning a Gameboy was a no brainer at the time. Actually, I've seen hundreds of people wishing that any of their DS or 3DS models could hook up to the Wii/Wii U as well, which Nintendo never delivered on fully sadly.
I mean not everyone had one. I got a Gamecube and didn't get another "console" until the DS Lite. It was a little ridiculous to me I was expected to spend like $100 at the time to use content in a game I already paid for. I was like 6 years old, it wasn't exactly fair.
amiibo AND Pokemon gen 8....the Pokemon complaints are beyond ridiculous though. As for the amiibo, personally the only time I've ever taken issue with it is the content tied to the Monster Hunter figures and the Hello Kitty themed Animal Crossing cards...you know, since they only released in Japan and scalpers/re-sellers are greedy sacks of shit I hate with a burning passion :/
Leading up to and after New Horizons came out, EVERYTHING Animal Crossing related suddenly doubled in value, and the prices are not going down anytime soon.
an update on all of this. It is not just Animal Crossing that shot up in value. A lot of games shot up in value! I wonder why..... it is a very obvious reason...
One of the most underappreciated youtubers ever. I love how in depth you go in every video. Plus I love how you cover obscure games that not many people remember. It's always interesting learning about them and hearing your thoughts on them. Props to you for always finding the good qualities in games. A lot of people would tear those old school platformers apart and never give them a fair shake. Great video, as always.
My favorite memory of animal crossing new horizons is when I catched a thousand sea bass looking for a tuna and when I catched a thousand horse mackerel looking for the barreleye
23:33 - The way you catch tarantulas gives me super anxiety. Good video btw. This game is what we all need during this time and makes me want to go to an island vacation away from the news, internet, and the paranoia. Thank you Nintendo for not making it a Japanese exclusive all those years ago.
This is the best way to catch tarantulas. You need to press A, then get the attention of tarantula and wait for it to jump, then you can release A, almost guaranteed catch
@@r033cx actually I think the best way is to creep up one them. When they are in pouncing position stop moving. When they're flat on the ground approach until they go in pounce position again. Rinse and repeat until you're close enough.
Funnily enough my favourite thing about the original Animal Crossing was the villagers, and how much more personality they had. You had a lot more dialogue options with them, and if you ticked them off, they were RUDE.
One time I had a really really scary animal crossing nightmare as a kid and I think I might have woken up from it in the middle of the night or some unusual time. I asked my dad I think if I could play wild world for a couple of minutes just to make sure all the animals were ok. He let me check on them thankfully. I hate the nightmares centered around ruining something nice and innocent.
6:05 like how everyone complains that Amiibo never added much, but when a game did make the Amiibo bonus interesting people started would complain that exact argument XD
It’s because you can’t put too much locked behind amiibo. It’s surprisingly tricky to have amiibo content in games. You can’t have too little, and you can’t have too much. The perfect solution to this would be an amiibo special game. A game where you don’t have to pay to enjoy the game, but to get a character you want. Think Disney Infinity, but not cancelled.
@@Danbo22987 the best compromise would probably be for nintendo to manufacture more than 20 units at any given time that are all instantly bought and resold for 2,000% on ebay
@@dirtfriend The only way to really prevent scalping is to either shut down all the ways people could conceivably sell secondhand, or make SO MANY that they couldn't possibly afford to buy them all, which would also be way more than anyone would ever actually want to buy.
Thank you for making this... I’m a security guard for a hospital so hours have been rough.. therefore: no time to play acnh that much. 😔 hearing you talk about your unique nostalgia and how it varies and differs and somewhat similar to my experience with population growing and the other titles really brought a smile to my face during these hard times. thank you :’)
And then we have me at 10-11 years old where I needed to have my mother next to me to translate Conker's Bad Fur Day since I didn't speak English. She thought it was funny as hell xD Granted, she did do the occasional eye roll every now and then xD
He also conjures things out of leaves like a tanuki. And Redd is a kitsune, and IIRC are considered more malevolent than tanukis. His symbol is a different kind of leaf. Tanukis and kitsune aren't fond of each other.
I've never been interested into Animal Crossing but this video is starting to change my mind. Either way, great video I love the type that go into the more personal aspect than professional ones when it comes to video games or any other topic.
I love how you made the experience of playing Animal Crossing less depressive and panic induced and more relaxed and laid back, something that people seem to forget about AC when currently talking about it. Even in the pressing times, seeing you still be the cool and chillax dude warms my heart.
You talking about your Animal Crossing nightmares reminded me of one of my video game-related nightmares I used to have. It was the one where me and my dad are sitting in the family van outside a store waiting for mom. All of a sudden the van shifts and begins to sink into the ground, or more accurately, a puddle of Shadow Mario's graffiti, the same way the graffiti made buildings and people sink into the ground in Mario Sunshine. It was terrifying watching the world get replaced by complete darkness right before waking up in a sweat.
I had similar nightmares from Mario Sunshine. One of my earliest video game nightmares took place in Ricco Harbor, where I was fighting the big Blooper boss. The environment would just fall away except for me standing on a small steel platform held up by scaffolding. The map would get flooded with water, the sky texture lost its clouds and just became this aqua color, and the Blooper boss would become giant in size.
While everyone who was in the AC fandom seemed to fall off at the release of City Folk; that was the first game that I played; so City Folk *was* my Wild World haha. So, yeah, I love City Folk a lot. I probably have the same sort of nostalgia for City Folk that everyone else has for Wild World/AC on the Gamecube.
if you consider the first game's tom nook "an abusive father" then you actually have no idea what the difference between a stern father and abusive father is lmao
@@KOTEBANAROT Yes, verbal / emotional abuse. It's still a little scary to be talked to like that when your little, especially if that's actually happened to you IRL. But, in the new games that talk to completely gone. It's kinda like the Resetti thing but they changed him much quicker. To be honest this is reminding me of my dad and how he's starting to learn to change. I thought he never would but he is... a little... he's trying at least. ^^"
@@theSato it's likely just an exaggeration made for a youtube comment... but to nitpick, if you think that there is a specific way that "abusive fathers" talk and that you can identify them by that, you have no experience and no place to talk over someone's experiences.
@@slugmilk4063 It was an exaggeration, however even in an exaggerating sense, it wasn't really 'abusive father' like even a little.. And no, there isn't a golden "single specific way", of course every drunk father that beats their child could have a different manner of speaking. However we're only talking about "verbally abusive" here since .. well, thats the only relevant part here. I've done therapy for quite a lot of people and have a firm grasp of psychology. I have enough secondhand experience and knowledge to make my claim, and every bit of a 'place' to make this statement X3
My favorite memory was getting the game, I had asked my mom for two games, Tales of Symphonia, and Timesplitters. My mom got Animal Crossing instead of Timesplitters cause she heard it was a violent game(at the time she didn;t trust me or my sister enough to get violent games). I was mad the entire car ride home up until I played both games. They are now both my favorite series of all time.
I know Nitrorad probably isn’t going to see this but this has to be one of my favorite videos of his. It’s so personal and so nice to rewatch and hear all these different stories. Animal Crossing is such a community driven game and there really aren’t enough vids sharing stories like this.
7:50 That reminds me of when I was younger as well- my brother and I named our character Asshole. And our town was called Asstown. My dad saw what we had named it, and pretty much said the same thing your dad did. Yep. XD Aside from that, my brother and I weren't very good at the first game, but we did still play it a lot. We probably started a new town every other month. Although I still remember some of the villagers we had in our first town; Scoot, Tangy, Vladimir, and Quetzal. It was the first time we had ever played the game, so we didn't really know what to expect and going into the villagers' houses was very interesting and amusing because Vladimir's was a weird mix of playground toys and construction equipment, and Scoot literally just had some grass flooring and a sprinkler. We were like "what the heck, these animals LIVE like this?!" and we just found it hilarious. We also loved sending mean letters to villagers, but more often than not, they would just say that they didn't understand what we were trying to say, but thanks for the letter anyway. We also loved pissing off Tangy. XD And we were terrified of Booker for some reason. I dunno, just the way he would follow you around the police station was a little unnerving for us. :P Lastly we had a cheat book that we got from one of our school bookfairs, and it had a bunch of codes for rare Nintendo items that we could get from Tom Nook, so we used those to decorate our house and time-traveled quite a bit because we could only redeem one code a day. And that's about it! The only other games in the series I have played are New Leaf and New Horizons, both of which are excellent.
Brand recognition. Literally the reason I swapped the games packed with my Nintendo DS Lite for Rayman DS. I wanted something familiar. Now that I have the PC and PS2 versions, I knew it was time to move on. But at the time, I had yet to have a good enough PC to really enjoy it any other way.
@@NitroRad do you also intend to do a Sonic Adventure review? As I saw your save file, and I wonder what ur opinion on the sonic games are, no matter which ones :)
10:58 It literally took me until the latter half of LAST YEAR to find out that you could pick up items in the menu by pressing L in the GC AC. I used to always just select the item and select Grab instead.
4:25 Fun fact, here in Italy (but I guess it's the same throughout Europe) the memory card didn't have either the Gyroid or Rover on it. Instead, we got K.K. Slider playing his guitar under a tree.
God, I remember when I played City Folk/Let’s go to the city, I was donating like 5 new fish, and 2 new fossils. I was SO close to completing the museum, when all of a sudden, my brother walks in and TURNS OFF the Wii. What the fu**. I didn’t get those fossils till a few months later - strangely enough - but it was still so...SO irritating. That has yet to happen in New Horizons, and he’s a lot older, so he ain’t turning it off... right?
When you started talking about your save being corrupted and losing everything you had worked hard for hit me bad. I had wild world for the DS, my grandmother gave it to me for my 10th birthday. She probably bought it because it was for kids. When I first tried it out I did not like it I was more interested in what my father got me called Orcs and Elves. Lol but one rainy afternoon I decided to give Wild World a try and well it's safe to say I fell in love with the game. Every waking moment I had it was to play Animal Crossing. I would sometimes wake up early just to play the game and talk to my villagers. I spent a lot of time playing Animal Crossing. Till one day my dad wanted to try it out because he saw how much I was playing it and well he didn't know but he accidentally deleted my town and made a new one. I was devastated like all those fun times I had were gone, those memories I shared with my villagers, my hard work, my town. Everything it was all gone. I was so sad I could've cried.
I've never got into Animal Crossing. To be honest, I can't even see me playing it... But, seeing you talk about it with this much passion and honesty got me interested a little bit. I also love little secrets in games, maybe that's why I've spend so many hours in Club Penguin... Great Video!
all of this city folk slander hurts my heart :(. a handful of new characters and concepts were introduced in this game. new characters like kicks, labelle, frillard, serena, and a ton of villagers that were cut from wild world. city folk also gave us more insight and background to pre-existing characters. like lyle’s workplace, dr. shrunk’s workplace, gracie grace, etc. also yes i realize that this video is mostly opinionated and based on your personal experiences, but i just see people always calling city folk an “upgraded wild world” when a lot of things were introduced here that became mainstay in later entries.
What a wholesome, nostalgic video! I used to play the Gamecube Animal Crossing with my mom... I feel so sentimental when I see Animal Crossing gameplay.
Me, only getting on my Switch like twice a week - Wow! I've played New Horizons for 15 hours! This random guy in my recommended - *almost 200 hours clocked*
My favorite memory is making my dream house in new leaf. It had a living room (main room), gold room (2F), bathroom/spa (right room), kitchen (left room), nintendo room (back room), and rec room (basement.) I noticed a lot of the items I used are missing. Hope they're patched in soon.
when i was younger, playing og animal crossing I misunderstood what a villager was asking me and accidentally traded away my balloon flight game and I cried for three days about it.
I agree. It just has so much charm and mystique. It always felt like there were hidden secrets around, and you could never know everything. Also, the villagers were really great in that game and always had tasks for you to do, plus there were so many different events. It sucks that it's harder to play now that i'm used to the quality of life improvements from the newer games
Animal Crossing is basically Nintendo's version of Minecraft. That's the one thing that I love about the series. It has such a relaxing atmosphere where you can just take your time and not have to worry about too many things. I've only played Wild World, but I do hope that I'll get enough to purchase a Switch and a copy of New Horizons. No time travelling, though. It kind of ruins the relaxed nature of the game.
I think a collection of games from other franchise would be more likely. Like, the three first AC games are sooo similar, I don't think a collection of games would be useful at all
Yeah, the way Isabelle was hand fisted as series mascot is still annoying, because comparing her to the other NPCs we barely know anything about her other than she is the nice girl archetype. If in New Leaf she was seen doing more stuff outside and you could talk to her normally instead of her only being bussines then i'd think i wouldn't mind as much the shift in mascots, but even now in New Horizons we still don't really get to talk to her normally all that much. Right now she's just as interesting as Pikachu in terms of character, just a cute face to sell games.
If we're sharing memories, I wanna share some of mine as well. I never really got into the series super hard like most people did until New Leaf. Before that, I would beg my sister to let me create my own profile on Gamecube just to make custom shirts lol. I did have my hands on Wild World, but my young stupid brain didn't really understand the full enjoyment that came with the game because I instantly hacked that sucker with an Action Replay. I kind of just skipped City Folk only because I only ever rented it. Not for very long of course, had to make use of my local Block Busters. Eventually though, I got New Leaf a year after launch and I finally understood what it was all about, and I had so much play time in. I never really played the multiplayer stuff, but it was fun just slowly building up my town, upgrading main street, and decorating my house. I would play it on the bus before school, after school, whatever free moment I had that wasn't spent on responsibilities. I set a goal for myself that I would play the game every single day for a year because I loved it that much, but I eventually just got burnt out and only played 8 months straight, but that was my fault. Once I got the villagers I wanted, I didn't want anyone to move. Had my house the way I wanted it, and gave the town the best decorations I could. At that point, I was only playing it out of routine and upkeep. I didn't like changing stuff when I had it perfect back then, but my mentality has changed. New Horizons feels like a breath air. The freedom you have to fully customize your island and the amount of things you can do on a day by day bases really ignited my love for the series once again. Just like you James, I have my own qualms with it as well, but I hope Nintendo patches some of these issues. A ton of my friends online and irl have the game too, so interacting, trading, and just chilling out on each other's islands is a lot of fun to bond over. AC really is just a feel good game anyone of can just play and relax with, and I'm thankful for that.
you always post quality videos but this one is like a SUPER BANGER of a video. little things like the amiibo card edit are cool details that really add up and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about weird things about the older games and your personal stories with those games. Wild World is among the first few video games I remember playing and it's nice to see you talk about it!
I remember when I was little I was so obsessed and consumed with Wild World that I finally just gave it to my sister, in an effort to stop playing it. I was literally playing it nonstop and it was destroying my mental balance.
TOM NOOK DID NOTHING WRONG Y'ALL STOP CALLING HIM A CAPITALIST 😭 EDIT: God i hope nintendo re-releases the amiibo cards... I'M NOT SPENDING 100$+ ON FANG WHAT THE FUCK
"How dare you pronounce it Guy..." I'm kidding, we already had this conversation...I love that you get Kevin to do your art, I own so many of his tee's from theYetee. Might be a long shot but I'd love to collab with you sometime if that's something you'd like to take a chance on! Anyway great content as always dude!
This was honestly wholesome to watch. Although I only played the original Animal crossing I still appreciate its growth. I only learned of the series through my youngest-older brother who bought it on Easter 14 years ago. Which I spent days doing nothing but watching him play it, appreciating the simple fun I had compared to my regularly burdensome and hectic life. With Bob and Sable being my favorite villagers.
Tom Nook doesn't force you into debt in the first game. You're homeless and unemployed, so he, some guy you've never met before, says "Hey, I'll give you a job and a home, but you've gotta pay me back, alright?". He's helping you get back up on your feet and giving you the chance to live a happy life if you're willing to put in the effort.
I still prefer the older animal crossing titles over new horizons. New horizon has nice quality of life changes, but there isn’t much to do outside of earning bells. Animals don’t give tasks, shops are very limited on what they sale and how much they can upgrade. I’m sure they’ll come out over the year with updates. But I’m really curious on what this game was planning to be before they delayed it.
Of course this video isn't like your normal videos. Animal Crossing isn't your typical kind of game, and I think this format suited the series perfectly! And that Matryoska story made me unbelievably happy. Thank you for sharing that story!
I really like this video and it's not because of Animal Crossing. I've never played any game from the series before. Sometimes watching videos like this from people that don't usually cover their memories is very relaxing to me. Even the most miniscule tid bits that they share I find facinating. You should do something like this once in a while, dude.
I thought he was called Tom nook because his shop was called Nooks cranny you blew my mind with that lol. Bro why you gotta make me feel old? I got the gamecube version when I was in junior high (and I lost the disk so im sad but I still have my memory cards). Honestly there were things I was annoyed about with wild world like how you had to room with other players to get a bigger house and i missed the dogs being cops. That's why i like new leaf so much because it was like a thowback to the first game. Everyone had their original roles pretty much it made me happy. I only rented city folk and played it so I can't really say how I felt about it because I only played it for a little bit. I thought the city part was interesting. The fact they brought it to new leaf in a way is good too. Also I miss resetti calling me an idiot. I miss when everyone acted more like a jerk lolz. Also it seems more tricky to trigger certian events with the villagers now in new horizions. Also I like isabelle because shes a dog and I like dogs shes grown on me. I hope luckys amiibo card isnt too expensive...
Nice Vid! I stumbled accross your channel when I got interested again in Rayman 3 and since have watched a bunch of your videos. I liked it that you had like some scenes with a drawing of you animating to your talking and these Dreams scenes. It's a nice idea to watch some of your videos just talking about a series that you just like and don't feel pressured to do a honest review.
Seeing how much anyone can modify their island now is really the one thing that's got me wanting this game. Really creative people in New Leaf could use the touch screen stuff to draw roads and paths to lay down, but it was still pretty limited and you were at the mercy of RNG where your villagers decided to plop down their houses. Now you can pretty much shape your island in any way you see fit, as far as I can tell anyways. That one thing adds so much personality, it's like your entire town is an extension of what used to be just throwing furniture down in your house. This series is also super wholesome and cute, it's tough to say no to that.
I did the same thing selling Harvest Moon 64 when I knew Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life was coming out. Immediate regret... Really enjoyed the video. Brought back a lot of nostalgic memories growing up with AC on the GameCube and onward :)
I've noticed more people these days are pointing out that Tom nook isn't as bad of a guy as people think, and along with that people are pointing out how the first AC in general seemed a lot more mean spirited. I don't actually remember most of it from my childhood but some of those screencaps really surprised me with how rude those animals could be. I do have childhood trauma from Mr resetti, though.
This is the first video of yours I've come across after seeing you and Scott the Woz play "What's That Track"... James: "Malarky" Me: "IS THIS GUY CANADIAN?!" :) Hey neighbour.
The warmth and the empathy of this video makes me watch it everytime I feel that I'm the only one finding comfort in a video game like Animal Crossing. The DS version got me through military service and I'm so grateful for that

@@kit7une_ Oh? I never played Wild World myself, I pretty much played the original, then didn't pick back up until City Folk. I did get a 3DS though, so I did end up playing New Leaf as well.
but with new leaf the resolution gets lower
The resolution kinda moves around a bit.
DNM (N64): 240p, 480p with the expansion pak
DNM+, AC, DNMe+ (GCN): 480i, 480p in progressive mode (Achieved by holding Start/Pause on the Nintendo logo)
AC GBA Features (GBA): 240 × 160
ACWW (DS): 256 × 192
ACCF: 480p/480i depending on Wii settings
ACNL, ACHHD (3DS): 800 × 240 (Top Screen) 320 × 240 (Bottom Screen)
ACAF (Wii U): 720p, 480p depending on Wii U settings
ACPC (Mobile): Depends on the device
ACNH (Switch): 1080p
Sorry if I complicated it, but there you go.
It’s like a memory that keeps getting more clear the more you remember it!
My grandma played animal crossing for hours.
I helped her get the golden tools and we tried looking up guilds using our bad early 2010s Internet.
I feel in love with the world and characters and to this day it one of my fav game series of all time.
get. out. of. my. life.
I hope your grandma is doing ok.
She sounds really cool, mine still thinks videogames bad.

Funny, the only time I see anyone claiming Nintendo is locking content behind a paywall, was those Amibo figures.
The Gameboy linking to the Gamecube was accepted because owning a Gameboy was a no brainer at the time. Actually, I've seen hundreds of people wishing that any of their DS or 3DS models could hook up to the Wii/Wii U as well, which Nintendo never delivered on fully sadly.
Does...does the switch count?
I mean not everyone had one. I got a Gamecube and didn't get another "console" until the DS Lite. It was a little ridiculous to me I was expected to spend like $100 at the time to use content in a game I already paid for. I was like 6 years old, it wasn't exactly fair.
Nintendo locking content behind Amiibo was one of the worst things they've done with the toy line...
back when Pokemon Bank was announced for Gen 6, people were saying that DESPITE for Gen 4 to 5 transferal you needed two separate DS'
amiibo AND Pokemon gen 8....the Pokemon complaints are beyond ridiculous though. As for the amiibo, personally the only time I've ever taken issue with it is the content tied to the Monster Hunter figures and the Hello Kitty themed Animal Crossing cards...you know, since they only released in Japan and scalpers/re-sellers are greedy sacks of shit I hate with a burning passion :/
Leading up to and after New Horizons came out, EVERYTHING Animal Crossing related suddenly doubled in value, and the prices are not going down anytime soon.
It'll go down soon. Its only been a month
@@Manak26 I wish it had only been a month, but the prices have been increasing since December of last year.
amiibo cards are worth more than oil right now! I'm wondering if I should sell mine, although the only desirable amiibo card I have is Camofrog's...
an update on all of this.
It is not just Animal Crossing that shot up in value. A lot of games shot up in value!
I wonder why..... it is a very obvious reason...
One of the most underappreciated youtubers ever. I love how in depth you go in every video. Plus I love how you cover obscure games that not many people remember. It's always interesting learning about them and hearing your thoughts on them. Props to you for always finding the good qualities in games. A lot of people would tear those old school platformers apart and never give them a fair shake. Great video, as always.
Animal Crossing is like junk food, you know you shouldn’t put that much time into it, but you keep going anyway.
But its the good type of junk food
@Villager so, healthy junk food?
@@ChickenMcKicken yes
It’s comfort food. It’s bad for your health, but feels too good to not consume.
My favorite memory of animal crossing new horizons is when I catched a thousand sea bass looking for a tuna and when I catched a thousand horse mackerel looking for the barreleye
For future, the correct past tense is caught, not catched. I hate to be that asshole but you should all know
@@luigi7834 ah yeah, glad you catched that ;)
“I guess that’s kinda of why we got so many spinoffs after New Leaf” (shows 2) WOOOOOOOOOW SLOW DOWN
Well, to be honest for a game that only really had three main entries prior to new leaf, two spinoffs one after another is a lot.
maybe he lost his physical copy of pocket camp
also there was that weird animal crossing plaza on the wii u
@@ughcreature yea, he showed that. amiibo festival.
@@ughcreature that was more of a social platform
"Nintendo would never give you a weird way to catch a fish."
FEEBAS INTENSIFIES
That's Game Freak.
@@BigHailFan Still Nintendo-approved. :P
To a lesser degree: HYLIAN LOACH WATCHES YOU.
23:33 - The way you catch tarantulas gives me super anxiety.
Good video btw. This game is what we all need during this time and makes me want to go to an island vacation away from the news, internet, and the paranoia.
Thank you Nintendo for not making it a Japanese exclusive all those years ago.
This is the best way to catch tarantulas. You need to press A, then get the attention of tarantula and wait for it to jump, then you can release A, almost guaranteed catch
@@r033cx actually I think the best way is to creep up one them. When they are in pouncing position stop moving. When they're flat on the ground approach until they go in pounce position again. Rinse and repeat until you're close enough.
This is one of my favorite videos of yours in a while. I hope you do more like this.
Funnily enough my favourite thing about the original Animal Crossing was the villagers, and how much more personality they had. You had a lot more dialogue options with them, and if you ticked them off, they were RUDE.
The way you say “card” makes you sound really Canadian
Edit: Teletoon and YTV? Yeah that explains it lol
He is Canadian. =)
One time I had a really really scary animal crossing nightmare as a kid and I think I might have woken up from it in the middle of the night or some unusual time. I asked my dad I think if I could play wild world for a couple of minutes just to make sure all the animals were ok. He let me check on them thankfully. I hate the nightmares centered around ruining something nice and innocent.
What was it about?
Can I just say how sweet it is for you to check on your animals to make sure they're okay
6:05 like how everyone complains that Amiibo never added much, but when a game did make the Amiibo bonus interesting people started would complain that exact argument XD
Except maybe Metroid Samus Returns... that had no business locking content behind Amiibo.
It’s because you can’t put too much locked behind amiibo. It’s surprisingly tricky to have amiibo content in games. You can’t have too little, and you can’t have too much. The perfect solution to this would be an amiibo special game. A game where you don’t have to pay to enjoy the game, but to get a character you want. Think Disney Infinity, but not cancelled.
@@Danbo22987 the best compromise would probably be for nintendo to manufacture more than 20 units at any given time that are all instantly bought and resold for 2,000% on ebay
@@Danbo22987 except that amiibo scalping has been a problem long before the pandemic
@@dirtfriend The only way to really prevent scalping is to either shut down all the ways people could conceivably sell secondhand, or make SO MANY that they couldn't possibly afford to buy them all, which would also be way more than anyone would ever actually want to buy.
Yes James. The Tom Nook name thing did, in fact, blow my mind.
Thank you for making this... I’m a security guard for a hospital so hours have been rough.. therefore: no time to play acnh that much. 😔 hearing you talk about your unique nostalgia and how it varies and differs and somewhat similar to my experience with population growing and the other titles really brought a smile to my face during these hard times. thank you :’)
And then we have me at 10-11 years old where I needed to have my mother next to me to translate Conker's Bad Fur Day since I didn't speak English.
She thought it was funny as hell xD Granted, she did do the occasional eye roll every now and then xD
..what does this have to do with animal crossing
did you really have to share that
Atari yea it has 0 to do with ac
This is hilarious. Of all the games to choose for that!
Awwww!

I’ve been pronouncing it “Jie-roid” for years and now I’m questioning everything.

It is Jie-Roid though
Don’t forget James is Canadian
You forgot to mention the Startropics reference that Gulliver makes when you save him! He mentions Coralcola!

I was so excited when I saw it! I was like "Nintendo didn't forget about you Startropics!"
“Tom Nook” “Tomnooki” “Tanuki”...
...consider my mind blown! 🤯🤯
He also conjures things out of leaves like a tanuki. And Redd is a kitsune, and IIRC are considered more malevolent than tanukis. His symbol is a different kind of leaf. Tanukis and kitsune aren't fond of each other.
Never was a fan of the original gamecube game but new horizons looks much more interesting
That 6:05 voice made me so happy :D
I've never been interested into Animal Crossing but this video is starting to change my mind. Either way, great video I love the type that go into the more personal aspect than professional ones when it comes to video games or any other topic.
I love how you made the experience of playing Animal Crossing less depressive and panic induced and more relaxed and laid back, something that people seem to forget about AC when currently talking about it. Even in the pressing times, seeing you still be the cool and chillax dude warms my heart.
0:49 I fall into this hole every time
FALLS INTO HOLE
Man, I am still playing with my Gamecube Save file
You talking about your Animal Crossing nightmares reminded me of one of my video game-related nightmares I used to have. It was the one where me and my dad are sitting in the family van outside a store waiting for mom. All of a sudden the van shifts and begins to sink into the ground, or more accurately, a puddle of Shadow Mario's graffiti, the same way the graffiti made buildings and people sink into the ground in Mario Sunshine. It was terrifying watching the world get replaced by complete darkness right before waking up in a sweat.
I had similar nightmares from Mario Sunshine. One of my earliest video game nightmares took place in Ricco Harbor, where I was fighting the big Blooper boss. The environment would just fall away except for me standing on a small steel platform held up by scaffolding. The map would get flooded with water, the sky texture lost its clouds and just became this aqua color, and the Blooper boss would become giant in size.
While everyone who was in the AC fandom seemed to fall off at the release of City Folk; that was the first game that I played; so City Folk *was* my Wild World haha.
So, yeah, I love City Folk a lot. I probably have the same sort of nostalgia for City Folk that everyone else has for Wild World/AC on the Gamecube.
Tom Nook talked like an abusive father in the original and first impressions last forever like a scar that never heals.
if you consider the first game's tom nook "an abusive father" then you actually have no idea what the difference between a stern father and abusive father is lmao
@@theSato well they didnt say he was an abusive father, just that he talked like one
@@KOTEBANAROT Yes, verbal / emotional abuse. It's still a little scary to be talked to like that when your little, especially if that's actually happened to you IRL. But, in the new games that talk to completely gone. It's kinda like the Resetti thing but they changed him much quicker.
To be honest this is reminding me of my dad and how he's starting to learn to change. I thought he never would but he is... a little... he's trying at least. ^^"
@@theSato it's likely just an exaggeration made for a youtube comment...
but to nitpick, if you think that there is a specific way that "abusive fathers" talk and that you can identify them by that, you have no experience and no place to talk over someone's experiences.
@@slugmilk4063 It was an exaggeration, however even in an exaggerating sense, it wasn't really 'abusive father' like even a little..
And no, there isn't a golden "single specific way", of course every drunk father that beats their child could have a different manner of speaking. However we're only talking about "verbally abusive" here since .. well, thats the only relevant part here.
I've done therapy for quite a lot of people and have a firm grasp of psychology. I have enough secondhand experience and knowledge to make my claim, and every bit of a 'place' to make this statement X3
My favorite memory was getting the game, I had asked my mom for two games, Tales of Symphonia, and Timesplitters.
My mom got Animal Crossing instead of Timesplitters cause she heard it was a violent game(at the time she didn;t trust me or my sister enough to get violent games). I was mad the entire car ride home up until I played both games.
They are now both my favorite series of all time.
I know Nitrorad probably isn’t going to see this but this has to be one of my favorite videos of his. It’s so personal and so nice to rewatch and hear all these different stories. Animal Crossing is such a community driven game and there really aren’t enough vids sharing stories like this.
I agree
exactlyyyy its such a comforting watch thats why im going back years later. think this was one of the videos that pushed me to play the games :)
This man has got to have one of the most soothing voices I've ever heard.
Indeed, he is relaxing to listen to.
7:50
That reminds me of when I was younger as well- my brother and I named our character Asshole. And our town was called Asstown. My dad saw what we had named it, and pretty much said the same thing your dad did. Yep. XD
Aside from that, my brother and I weren't very good at the first game, but we did still play it a lot. We probably started a new town every other month. Although I still remember some of the villagers we had in our first town; Scoot, Tangy, Vladimir, and Quetzal.
It was the first time we had ever played the game, so we didn't really know what to expect and going into the villagers' houses was very interesting and amusing because Vladimir's was a weird mix of playground toys and construction equipment, and Scoot literally just had some grass flooring and a sprinkler. We were like "what the heck, these animals LIVE like this?!" and we just found it hilarious.
We also loved sending mean letters to villagers, but more often than not, they would just say that they didn't understand what we were trying to say, but thanks for the letter anyway.
We also loved pissing off Tangy. XD
And we were terrified of Booker for some reason. I dunno, just the way he would follow you around the police station was a little unnerving for us. :P
Lastly we had a cheat book that we got from one of our school bookfairs, and it had a bunch of codes for rare Nintendo items that we could get from Tom Nook, so we used those to decorate our house and time-traveled quite a bit because we could only redeem one code a day.
And that's about it! The only other games in the series I have played are New Leaf and New Horizons, both of which are excellent.
I love that the visual representations of your dreams take place in Dreams.
Brand recognition. Literally the reason I swapped the games packed with my Nintendo DS Lite for Rayman DS. I wanted something familiar.
Now that I have the PC and PS2 versions, I knew it was time to move on. But at the time, I had yet to have a good enough PC to really enjoy it any other way.
Seeing Nitro Rad play 185 hours in 10 days... That's almost 19 hours a day. WHEN DO YOU SLEEP
You can see the quarantine hair growing in. But I’ve played all the mainline AC games.
But where’s the new Ty review?! I saw it there.
I finished the Ty remaster last night, I'll probably start writing the video tomorrow.
Awesome! I was just messing with you because I saw Ty on the dashboard.
@@NitroRad do you also intend to do a Sonic Adventure review? As I saw your save file, and I wonder what ur opinion on the sonic games are, no matter which ones :)
why am i interested in the storylines of James' Animal Crossing nightmares?? is this a holdover from my brief creepypasta phase?????
10:58 It literally took me until the latter half of LAST YEAR to find out that you could pick up items in the menu by pressing L in the GC AC. I used to always just select the item and select Grab instead.
I remember my memory card having K K on it. So I guess EU got him.
4:25 Fun fact, here in Italy (but I guess it's the same throughout Europe) the memory card didn't have either the Gyroid or Rover on it. Instead, we got K.K. Slider playing his guitar under a tree.
I always thought Tom Nook was named based on the saying “Every Nook & Cranny”
15:07 I remember more so that Gulliver was a space alien in the Animal Crossing movie. Man... that movie is so weird.
God, I remember when I played City Folk/Let’s go to the city, I was donating like 5 new fish, and 2 new fossils. I was SO close to completing the museum, when all of a sudden, my brother walks in and TURNS OFF the Wii. What the fu**. I didn’t get those fossils till a few months later - strangely enough - but it was still so...SO irritating.
That has yet to happen in New Horizons, and he’s a lot older, so he ain’t turning it off...
right?
oh my lord that sounds horrible
Batabii City Folk didn’t have autosaves
When you started talking about your save being corrupted and losing everything you had worked hard for hit me bad. I had wild world for the DS, my grandmother gave it to me for my 10th birthday. She probably bought it because it was for kids. When I first tried it out I did not like it I was more interested in what my father got me called Orcs and Elves. Lol but one rainy afternoon I decided to give Wild World a try and well it's safe to say I fell in love with the game. Every waking moment I had it was to play Animal Crossing. I would sometimes wake up early just to play the game and talk to my villagers. I spent a lot of time playing Animal Crossing. Till one day my dad wanted to try it out because he saw how much I was playing it and well he didn't know but he accidentally deleted my town and made a new one. I was devastated like all those fun times I had were gone, those memories I shared with my villagers, my hard work, my town. Everything it was all gone. I was so sad I could've cried.
I've never got into Animal Crossing. To be honest, I can't even see me playing it... But, seeing you talk about it with this much passion and honesty got me interested a little bit. I also love little secrets in games, maybe that's why I've spend so many hours in Club Penguin...
Great Video!
all of this city folk slander hurts my heart :(. a handful of new characters and concepts were introduced in this game. new characters like kicks, labelle, frillard, serena, and a ton of villagers that were cut from wild world. city folk also gave us more insight and background to pre-existing characters. like lyle’s workplace, dr. shrunk’s workplace, gracie grace, etc. also yes i realize that this video is mostly opinionated and based on your personal experiences, but i just see people always calling city folk an “upgraded wild world” when a lot of things were introduced here that became mainstay in later entries.
What a wholesome, nostalgic video! I used to play the Gamecube Animal Crossing with my mom... I feel so sentimental when I see Animal Crossing gameplay.
Me, only getting on my Switch like twice a week - Wow! I've played New Horizons for 15 hours!
This random guy in my recommended - *almost 200 hours clocked*
once again begging you to play neopets: the darkest faerie or one of the scooby doo ps2 games
gonna keep doing this on every video from now on
Dropped everything I was doing to watch the video, good one dude~♡
My favorite memory is making my dream house in new leaf. It had a living room (main room), gold room (2F), bathroom/spa (right room), kitchen (left room), nintendo room (back room), and rec room (basement.) I noticed a lot of the items I used are missing. Hope they're patched in soon.
They just added a bunch of Nintendo themed items :D
when i was younger, playing og animal crossing I misunderstood what a villager was asking me and accidentally traded away my balloon flight game and I cried for three days about it.
GameCube Animal Crossing will always be my favorite, it has such a specific charm the other games can’t replicate
I agree. It just has so much charm and mystique. It always felt like there were hidden secrets around, and you could never know everything. Also, the villagers were really great in that game and always had tasks for you to do, plus there were so many different events. It sucks that it's harder to play now that i'm used to the quality of life improvements from the newer games
I was expecting it to be the regular type of video but it was very wholesome.
ok, this is epic
Is it though?
Animal Crossing is basically Nintendo's version of Minecraft. That's the one thing that I love about the series. It has such a relaxing atmosphere where you can just take your time and not have to worry about too many things. I've only played Wild World, but I do hope that I'll get enough to purchase a Switch and a copy of New Horizons. No time travelling, though. It kind of ruins the relaxed nature of the game.
We need an Animal Crossing Remastered Collection for Switch... Which sounds kind of dumb though.
I think a collection of games from other franchise would be more likely. Like, the three first AC games are sooo similar, I don't think a collection of games would be useful at all
been thinking of getting a microphone and always love how crisp Nitrorad sounds. anyone know what mic he uses?
Tom Nook: Gimme your FRICKING MONEY!!!
Anyway, I spent SO MUCH time playing New Leaf.
"Nooks and crannies" heh
Also I don't think anything recently has scared me as bad as when I caught an Oarfish for the first time in New Horizons lol
OH MY GOD THE DUMMY ITEM LOOKS LIKE A HAND GIVING A MIDDLE FINGER...
It's just "Dummy" in Japanese lol
@@lthc_hiryu I think I should've not typed in all caps; but either way I didn't know that thanks.
Swafty the Idiot it’s a triangle
Yeah, the way Isabelle was hand fisted as series mascot is still annoying, because comparing her to the other NPCs we barely know anything about her other than she is the nice girl archetype. If in New Leaf she was seen doing more stuff outside and you could talk to her normally instead of her only being bussines then i'd think i wouldn't mind as much the shift in mascots, but even now in New Horizons we still don't really get to talk to her normally all that much. Right now she's just as interesting as Pikachu in terms of character, just a cute face to sell games.
If we're sharing memories, I wanna share some of mine as well.
I never really got into the series super hard like most people did until New Leaf. Before that, I would beg my sister to let me create my own profile on Gamecube just to make custom shirts lol. I did have my hands on Wild World, but my young stupid brain didn't really understand the full enjoyment that came with the game because I instantly hacked that sucker with an Action Replay. I kind of just skipped City Folk only because I only ever rented it. Not for very long of course, had to make use of my local Block Busters. Eventually though, I got New Leaf a year after launch and I finally understood what it was all about, and I had so much play time in. I never really played the multiplayer stuff, but it was fun just slowly building up my town, upgrading main street, and decorating my house. I would play it on the bus before school, after school, whatever free moment I had that wasn't spent on responsibilities. I set a goal for myself that I would play the game every single day for a year because I loved it that much, but I eventually just got burnt out and only played 8 months straight, but that was my fault. Once I got the villagers I wanted, I didn't want anyone to move. Had my house the way I wanted it, and gave the town the best decorations I could. At that point, I was only playing it out of routine and upkeep. I didn't like changing stuff when I had it perfect back then, but my mentality has changed. New Horizons feels like a breath air. The freedom you have to fully customize your island and the amount of things you can do on a day by day bases really ignited my love for the series once again. Just like you James, I have my own qualms with it as well, but I hope Nintendo patches some of these issues. A ton of my friends online and irl have the game too, so interacting, trading, and just chilling out on each other's islands is a lot of fun to bond over. AC really is just a feel good game anyone of can just play and relax with, and I'm thankful for that.
you always post quality videos but this one is like a SUPER BANGER of a video. little things like the amiibo card edit are cool details that really add up and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about weird things about the older games and your personal stories with those games. Wild World is among the first few video games I remember playing and it's nice to see you talk about it!
“i’m sure i just blew someone’s mind with that info”
YEAH
YOU DID
WHY DIDNT I REALIZE THAT SOONER I GAAAAAAH
Spongebob needs an animal crossing romhack
Gonna be perfectly honest, I would LOVE to see more of this kind of thing. It was super heartwarming and wholesome.
I remember when I was little I was so obsessed and consumed with Wild World that I finally just gave it to my sister, in an effort to stop playing it. I was literally playing it nonstop and it was destroying my mental balance.
I caught a stringfish in Animal Crossing GCN on accident on my second day of playing!! I am still so proud of myself!
Damn, lucky
TOM NOOK DID NOTHING WRONG Y'ALL STOP CALLING HIM A CAPITALIST 😭
EDIT: God i hope nintendo re-releases the amiibo cards... I'M NOT SPENDING 100$+ ON FANG WHAT THE FUCK
"How dare you pronounce it Guy..." I'm kidding, we already had this conversation...I love that you get Kevin to do your art, I own so many of his tee's from theYetee. Might be a long shot but I'd love to collab with you sometime if that's something you'd like to take a chance on! Anyway great content as always dude!
This was honestly wholesome to watch.
Although I only played the original Animal crossing I still appreciate its growth. I only learned of the series through my youngest-older brother who bought it on Easter 14 years ago.
Which I spent days doing nothing but watching him play it, appreciating the simple fun I had compared to my regularly burdensome and hectic life. With Bob and Sable being my favorite villagers.
Tom Nook doesn't force you into debt in the first game. You're homeless and unemployed, so he, some guy you've never met before, says "Hey, I'll give you a job and a home, but you've gotta pay me back, alright?". He's helping you get back up on your feet and giving you the chance to live a happy life if you're willing to put in the effort.
I got the game exactly 24 hours ago and my playtime has an average of 25 hours🤔🤔🤔
Alternate title: "Animal Crossing Gave Me Nightmares"
"Internet Papa Liam"
So I guess he's the dad and you're the son.
I still prefer the older animal crossing titles over new horizons. New horizon has nice quality of life changes, but there isn’t much to do outside of earning bells. Animals don’t give tasks, shops are very limited on what they sale and how much they can upgrade. I’m sure they’ll come out over the year with updates. But I’m really curious on what this game was planning to be before they delayed it.
Of course this video isn't like your normal videos. Animal Crossing isn't your typical kind of game, and I think this format suited the series perfectly! And that Matryoska story made me unbelievably happy. Thank you for sharing that story!
I really like this video and it's not because of Animal Crossing. I've never played any game from the series before. Sometimes watching videos like this from people that don't usually cover their memories is very relaxing to me. Even the most miniscule tid bits that they share I find facinating.
You should do something like this once in a while, dude.
the only animal crossing game i ever played was amiibo festival and new horizons
I thought he was called Tom nook because his shop was called Nooks cranny you blew my mind with that lol.
Bro why you gotta make me feel old? I got the gamecube version when I was in junior high (and I lost the disk so im sad but I still have my memory cards).
Honestly there were things I was annoyed about with wild world like how you had to room with other players to get a bigger house and i missed the dogs being cops. That's why i like new leaf so much because it was like a thowback to the first game. Everyone had their original roles pretty much it made me happy. I only rented city folk and played it so I can't really say how I felt about it because I only played it for a little bit. I thought the city part was interesting. The fact they brought it to new leaf in a way is good too.
Also I miss resetti calling me an idiot. I miss when everyone acted more like a jerk lolz.
Also it seems more tricky to trigger certian events with the villagers now in new horizions.
Also I like isabelle because shes a dog and I like dogs shes grown on me.
I hope luckys amiibo card isnt too expensive...
Nice Vid! I stumbled accross your channel when I got interested again in Rayman 3 and since have watched a bunch of your videos. I liked it that you had like some scenes with a drawing of you animating to your talking and these Dreams scenes. It's a nice idea to watch some of your videos just talking about a series that you just like and don't feel pressured to do a honest review.
Seeing how much anyone can modify their island now is really the one thing that's got me wanting this game. Really creative people in New Leaf could use the touch screen stuff to draw roads and paths to lay down, but it was still pretty limited and you were at the mercy of RNG where your villagers decided to plop down their houses. Now you can pretty much shape your island in any way you see fit, as far as I can tell anyways. That one thing adds so much personality, it's like your entire town is an extension of what used to be just throwing furniture down in your house. This series is also super wholesome and cute, it's tough to say no to that.
I did the same thing selling Harvest Moon 64 when I knew Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life was coming out. Immediate regret... Really enjoyed the video. Brought back a lot of nostalgic memories growing up with AC on the GameCube and onward :)
Still waiting for the next frogger video.
I've noticed more people these days are pointing out that Tom nook isn't as bad of a guy as people think, and along with that people are pointing out how the first AC in general seemed a lot more mean spirited. I don't actually remember most of it from my childhood but some of those screencaps really surprised me with how rude those animals could be. I do have childhood trauma from Mr resetti, though.
Holy crap. You made the EXACT same Triforce constellation in the exact same place I did in Wild World!
This is the first video of yours I've come across after seeing you and Scott the Woz play "What's That Track"...
James: "Malarky"
Me: "IS THIS GUY CANADIAN?!" :)
Hey neighbour.
I was thinking the same thing after the YTV reference in this video. Canadian AC fans unite!
You and Brady should do more '100 things I like about...' videos. I loved the positivity of that video
The warmth and the empathy of this video makes me watch it everytime I feel that I'm the only one finding comfort in a video game like Animal Crossing. The DS version got me through military service and I'm so grateful for that
