Honestly!
If they won't, I will!
Excellent analysis of the series. I started on Animal Crossing way back in summer of 2003. It was by chance that my friends got the game and showed it to me. It literally took over my summer and most of the year to come, playing up to 10 hours a day. Then I remember hearing that they announced Animal Crossing Wild World for the DS. I literally saved my money from my summer part time job to buy my own DS and Wild World. I remember being so excited about simply being able to change hats…..hahaha. I never played City Folk during it’s prime time since I didn’t have a Wii. But I did get New Leaf and really enjoy it to this day. New Horizons is a great game, but it never hooked me as much as the old ones did. I found myself almost overwhelmed with the amount of crafting and customization options. I’m not saying they’re bad, I just personally can’t get into them. My island to this day is still just an island with trees like an older Animal Crossing town would be. I always liked the “make the best of what you’re dealt” gameplay from the older games. I still enjoy the no pressure gameplay that you mentioned, I can enjoy fishing and wandering around my boring old fashioned island haha. Great video, would like to see more of your analysis on Animal Crossing.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I envy your ability to play them back in the day as they came out that’s so awesome! I completely agree with you too I end up playing my DS and new leaf way more nowadays than New Horizons. I can’t quite wrap my head around all the decorating options either. Thanks again so much for your support
No matter which Animal Crossing I'm playing, it's just a total feeling of joy. Lovely video!
Thank you so much! I completely agree!
I love animal crossing and video essays, I’m cleaning my room right now and listening to you talk about Animal Crossing is as relaxing as Animal Crossing itself! Thanks for this video, you did a great job at analyzing why Animal Crossing is a special series! 💕
Thank you so much for your sweet comment I’m glad you enjoyed it! Those are the videos I aim to make, ones to clean your room to! :)
As somebody who's grown up with the series, this was such a cool and insightful look into how newer players understand and respond to it! The way you talk about Animal Crossing reminds me why I love it so much (●´⌓`●) ♡ it really is lightening in a bottle -- and literally NO other games compare to it, as evidenced in the way that people struggle to find a "similar" title/series. This was a delightful viewing, and I can't wait to see what else you create. You've got something special and I'm so glad you're a part of the AC community! Video essays for the win! ♡
Oh wow thank you so much for the wonderful comment!!! I’m glad you agree with me, it’s so special and nothing else is quite like it!!
this video resonates with me a lot. animal crossing is my favorite game of all time, ive sunk over 4000 hours into new horizons alone. i owned 6 copies of new leaf, just so i could make different town themes. being so obsessed with the series, for a while it was the only game i played. to this day, there is really no other game i think compares. the style, sound effects, characters, customization and gameplay are really nailed perfectly. i think animal crossing has a specific advantage over other games for me personally, in that it has been around in my life for so long. the games mostly have the same villagers and characters. seeing my favorite villagers in each game change with the updated graphical style is has been so crazy. new horizons letting you place items outside was such a “no way” moment and led to customization that had not been seen before in the series. things like that, just seeing how the games changed so drastically while (at least for me) being able to keep that “animal crossing” feel is special. not only have i become attached to the game, but the people who worked on the game. its kinda weird i havent met them or anything lol but i just have so much respect for them and i love hearing them talk about the game in interviews. eguchi came up with the idea for animal crossing after feeling isolated when he moved to kyoto to work at nintendo. the “communication” description of this game is so true. emphasis on friends and family was in mind with this game. animal crossing really does make me feel less alone, and has gotten me through tough times. i think the vibe is hard to replicate and the uniqueness makes ac so special for me😭❤️
Wow, thank you so much for your long and thoughtful comment I really enjoyed reading it. Your experience with the game is so amazing! I have never heard of someone having multiple copies of New Leaf to have different towns I would LOVE to see them I bet they are amazing! My New Leaf town is just an uncontrolled field of flowers basically 😂
I feel a certain connection with the creators of the game too! It’s odd because interviews with them are pretty scarce but especially Eguchi, I think the feeling of loneliness is just so relatable and makes me feel a sort of kinship to him. I also feel like Totaka (KK) is just the coolest dude haha.
It’s just such a unique series and I’m glad my video resonated with you! Do you play any other games?
@@dearestdimple honestly it was difficult to maintain them LOL the flowers multiplying all the time definitely caused some issues 🤣
i also really like story of seasons, rhythm heaven, tomodachi life, mario and recently breath of the wild, but my second favorite game franchise is splatoon! it has such a different vibe compared to other games in its genre, everything about it is very stylish and is a lot of fun. when im feeling burnt out on ac, splatoon is usually my first choice haha. the game even shares some of the team from animal crossing, and theres a lot of references to each other in both games which is super cute. it gives a similar feeling of seeing how things change and grow with each game and i can tell the creator, nogami, cares so much for the franchise and fanbase its built, considering its still relatively new. theres quite a few interviews and videos where you can just see how much passion he has and makes me even happier to see how far the game has come! i think that kinda stuff means more when its from nintendo since its not very often we hear from the game devs in general.
@@vanillamilkbread I can’t imagine how you could do it I totally commend your dedication!
RHYTHM HEAVEN FEVER IS EVERYTHING! You have just given me inspiration for my next video 😂😂 it’s so amazing! I have never played Tomodachi life but I know I would absolutely love it! If I could figure out a way to capture/record it maybe I could make a video playing it for the first time??
I’ve never played a platoon actually! But I really love other team games like overwatch etc so I might love it? Maybe I should give it a try!
Thanks for your input and wonderful ideas I feel so inspired now 😊
My 27 year old daughter and I have AC Sundays. I watch her play and I love every minute of it. 😍
That’s so sweet! I’m sure that’s such an awesome bonding time! Do you have a favorite character? :)
@@dearestdimple I am pretty sweet on Meringue, no pun intended. Actually, it's kind of a running joke that I make up back stories for some of the characters, insulting them as we see them. My daughter gets a real kick out of that!😂
@@julielangford5342 hahahahaha!!! That’s too rich! Now I want to know those backstories!! Haha it’s so fun to make up stories and personalities for the villagers
@@dearestdimple My daughter and I watch a LOT of true crime, so you can pretty much guess the scenarios.😂
@@julielangford5342 that is just lovely! ❤️
I have played since the GameCube. Whenever there's a rainy day, I instantly get the desire to play animal crossing. There are aspects from the older games I wish they had implemented into the New Horizons. And though the Gc game has it's flaws, there's just something about that game that always makes me want to go back to it- I think because of the Acre system, it feels more like an actual forest/woods. A vr animal crossing would be amazing- the trees being taller, not being able to see it all, but feel immersed- the coziness of houses- I feel like it'd have the potential to be the best Animal crossing game.
That’s so lovely I love it when it rains in game too do you love catching snails 🐌 on rainy days? A VR ANIMAL CROSSING WOULD BE AMZING!!! Actually I don’t think I’d ever leave my house if they made one 😂 thank for your comment and your brilliant idea!
my aunt moved out of our home when i was a little girl & left behind her nintendo ds animal crossing cartridge by accident. i stumbled upon it & naturally decided to give it a shot since i owned a ds as well. i never looked back. this would prompt me to buy the city folk version for the wii years later. i saved all the money i could which wasn’t a lot at 10 years old. my mom helped cover the half i wasn’t able to pay, she gained an interest in the game as well as my brother. fast forward to today & my entire family is now hooked! we all own have our own accounts & of course own the latest new horizons version for nintendo switch. this game is truly one of a kind 💗 thanks for the analysis!
Thank you for the lovely story and your experience with the game! It’s so special and I love hearing people’s experiences with the game they are always so wholesome and beautiful 🥲❤️ thanks for sharing and your support!
@@dearestdimple thank you for taking the time to reply to every comment! i was sure mine would get lost in the sauce, you’re the best Dimple!! ❤️❤️
edit: i subscribed!! 🥳
@@vezthekid of course! I really enjoy discussing this stuff in the comments I think it’s so special to hear everyone’s stories and their feeling about the topics it’s awesome 👏🏼❤️ thank you so much for the sub and your support! 🥲🙏🏼
Wow this video feels like a masters thesis. Excellently made.
Thank you so much, such a great compliment! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I am a lifetime AC player and love the game, it's truly unlike any other. I love how much there is to do and the new decorating aspect of ACNH, The only thing I miss is the less repetitive and more 'colorful' character dialogue haha. But I truly love the real time aspect. My gf has never played AC and doesn't see the appeal bc it is so slow. She always asks what I do and why I play it so much, but the fact that there are seasons and slight new things every day, whether it be different presents floating in the sky, NPCS, or items in the shop, even if I have no personal objective I'm working on, I still get the itch to check the game every couple of days. The fact that it's totally self paced and so communication based is great. And I love that there are no meters or metrics for judging how good of friends you are with villagers aside from your eventual reception of their pictures
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I can totally see how it’s difficult to explain the appeal to someone who doesn’t get why it’s so lovely, especially people who are into more fast paced games. I’ve never though about it before like that but you’re so right it’s awesome that you don’t have a “friendship gauge” so to speak other than villager photos. I’m in a pickle with one of mine Lindberg I’ve had him for months and given him presents every day, Katrina says we have “the strongest of bonds” but no photo I’m starting to worry he gave it to me and I lost it or something!
I started my Animal Crossing journey with the launch of City Folk on the wii. There was something so special about coming home every day and logging into the game. I enjoyed visiting the city and talking to my villagers. I was always invested in sending them letters and making sure that my town stayed clean and happy for them to live in. After City Folk, I got Wild World and played the pair together until New Leaf finally came out. I played from launch for a while. That was the first game I visited people and really interacted with the AC community by making silly videos for TH-cam off my iPod Touch and visiting dream addresses. I preordered New Horizons and have played it consistently since release. My playing has moved from daily to weekly but this is the longest AC game I have continued to play. Your analysis of the game is perfect and really captures what makes these games so special.
I began the games because I loved anything with talking animals but I stayed with the series because that lonely little girl with a lack of social skills felt like she had real friends in those villagers. The new villager interactions in New Horizons is why I continue the play the game without burn out. I get on weekly just to see my villagers and send a few letters or buy them a random gift. I love just running around and taking pictures of what they are doing. And about a year ago, I restarted New Leaf and am now playing that every other day. No other game is just like Animal Crossing and honestly I am more than okay with that. I love how special it feels to be able to say the franchise is unique and personal without having an entire genre of games to compare it too
Wow Okami, thank you so much for your long and thoughtful comment! I enjoyed reading it so much and teared up a little when you said as a lonely girl you had real connections with your villagers in Animal Crossing, so touching 🥹✨ and really drives home the theme of communication the developers sought out to capture!
Also so funny to think about the lengths we used to have to go to when recording games in the DS 😂😆
I really hope they do a tomodachi life reboot for the switch that would be amazing! ❤️
Thanks again for your support! 😊
You’re so right that no other game hits the spot like AC does; I’ve played plenty of Stardew Valley but it doesn’t give me that same warm, fuzzy feeling that Animal Crossing does 💜
You’re so right too! I think it’s because Stardew is kind of stressful haha I love it to death but there is so much pressure!
You hit the nail on the head with this evaluation! I’ve been playing AC since the GameCube version (although I’m just playing New Leaf for the first time since I never had a DS) and it’s always been that place, like you said, where I can spend just a few minutes or quite a few hours with no threat of consequence. It’s always there waiting if you come and go. I liked that you emphasized the communication aspect. For me personally it has been a way to keep in touch with my sisters as we’ve grown older and moved geographically apart. Being able to visit each others towns and islands has been a point of connection for years, but became especially meaningful during the initial pandemic lockdowns when we couldn’t get together in real life. We still get to “visit” in game much more often than in person just due to distance. There’s definitely something magical and unique about Animal Crossing!
That is so wholesome and wonderful! I love that the game has helped you stay connected, that was the original creators intention and I’m sure it would make him so happy to know what a success it has been for this! I love that you have a soft spot for the older games like me. 😊 Thank you so much for your comment! I appreciate your support!
Wow! I think you perfectly captured why I keep coming back to this game three years after its release. I didn't even realize it but, yeah thats definitely it. A complete lack of pressure and the ability to change and redo things as much as you want consequence free
Thank you for your lovely comment! I’m so glad you agree those simple mechanics make Animal Crossing always appealing don’t they? 😉🥰
I can already tell you're going to go far if you keep making such well put together videos, keep it up! 💙
Thank you so much! ❤ I am trying my best so I really appreciate the encouragement 😊
@@dearestdimple Of course! Your humble beginnings are definitely impressive, I believe in you and the success of your channel! (ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*.✧
@@woofexe4050 Thank you so much!! 🥹😭
My favorites are Wild World and New Horizons. I loved Wild World conversations with villagers and even the backstories of the NPCs. Couldn't get into New Leaf cause I was expecting more customization in the town by being the mayor, so I loved New Horizons because I have more room to decorate. I think we all love Animal Crossing for different reasons, but you got what's the essence of all of the games.
Loves the video.
Thanks so much for the comment! That’s so interesting that you enjoyed Wild World more than New Leaf, but I definitely can see why! That game has so much charm it’s lovely!
animal crossing's virality and recent explosion of popularity really touches my heart. ive been playing AC ever since i got wild world for easter (random, i know haha) in 2009. it used to be a bit of a lonely game, since very few people knew about it. BUT! when i found the rare person who did know about the game, we instantly bonded over its magic--the villagers, the music, the events, our museum collections, just everything. and when we visited each other's towns, i remember being so happy to finally share my magical little world with someone, and being delighted at seeing someone else's magical world! i am so, so fond of this franchise. new horizons was personally my least favorite installment in the series, so i hope that the new AC game is more like the older ones. if not, ill always have the original gamecube version, wild world, city folk, and new leaf :) great video!
btw, you can save at will in any game. usually, pressing start is the best way to do it. ^^
That’s so sweet and special! I envy people like you who got to be a part of that special little club for all of those years it’s so cool! I never understood why people didn’t like new horizons until I went back and played the old games and then I knew they stripped away so much personality!
And about saving: I wasted so much time walking all the way back to bed!!! Thank you for the pro tip!!!
Thanks again for all your support and your comment! ❤️
The real time clock is that important to people? I can implement that then. Wasn't sure how I wanted to do the clock anyways, and now I have ideas.
Animal crossing was always a resource management game to me. (Which is one of my favorite genres) When you started stating there was no task list, I was surprised you didn't see it that way. To me, it's a list of daily tasks to achieve before the stores closed so I can have freetime fulfilling the museum tasks and other global goals, all while trying to collect everything and make sure decorations were on point and being improved. The idea of spending the day doing what I wanted never occurred to me. It's definitely something to think about going forward though.
Hey are you making a game? That’s so cool! If it has a real time clock I will definitely want to play. That’s a funny neat thing about Animal Crossing is it lends itself to all different play styles, especially in the older games I couldn’t imagine having my decor on point haha.
@@dearestdimple Yeah, I loved my modern room so much on DS. Struggling to pull off some new fengshui techniques in the switch one, but I've only gotten 4 days to play it thus far because I don't actually own it.
Yeah, I'm going for a game similar to SimCity Creator and Social Empires. Mostly using it as a stepping stone for my dream game, but it's gonna have a ton of unique worldbuilding to it. 3-4 races of people(debating if it'll start with protohuman, or skip that to start as one of the 3 races of human/elf/beastfolk), eukaryote-up unique evolutionary history, and refreshing uniqueness due to it being a world without metals. (Metals are still bioavalable, just not in concentrations where people would ever make stuff out of them) It's gonna be in voxel isometric because that's easy enough for me to pull off without hiring anyone. (I got no money)
I'm really excited for it, and am working on following Code Monkey's 10+ hour free course rn, just with my own voxel art. Though in freetime I'm working on worldbuilding stuff, hence why I'm bingeing Animal Crossing videos. I love the feel, and want to draw on it for things like being in the town you create outside of wartime and seeing how people react, kind of like a mix of Animal Crossing and Drawf Fortress in that aspect.
Thats so cool I’m sure you could use many of the mechanics and add them to your world to make something unique and amazing! Do you have any progress pics or videos on social media? I’d love to check it out!
Absolutely fantastic video! So fascinated to hear the perspective of another sleepy gamer. I've started with Horizons, but felt nervous to go back to the harsher-toned games. You've got me convinced to try them!
Oh they are so good! It’s always comical never feels too personal when they say silly things, you should definitely give them a try 😊
As a kid playing wild world, i learned so many things in this game. Furniture styles and the fun of interior design, all of the facts from the museum (i fucking loved listening to blathers tell me about my stuff), and that communicating is SO important. Even when people come off cold, they likely have issues that aren’t your fault and being nice is the best policy. Helped me understand bullying. Dissappointing others or them being angry with you isn’t the end, you can try again. And sometimes, things change in a way you don’t like and that’s just a part of life. The series will always be close to my heart.
Thanks for the video :)
PS: Stardew Valley was always recommened to me too. I enjoy it, but the only things they have in common is villagers. The absolute pressure in SV of time/health, diffculty, combat and the punishment of death and failure. No, Stardew Valley is not like Animal Crossing.
Wow thank you so much for this beautiful comment!! I am so happy you can relate on such a deep level with the points I expressed in the video. I love listening to Blathers too! I find the facts so interesting, and it’s fun to learn about the different wildlife!
Yeah very very different games, I love stardew but definitely a different vibe and much more pressure and negative consequences!
I totally agree the negative conversation elements from the old games are also great for learning communication!
@@dearestdimple i was so fascinated about all the wildlife that i didn’t know existed because theyre not in my country. It was an amazingly educational game in that sense. It made me a little sad when people ask for him to be skippable. Putting the genre as communication was a great choice by the team.
New horizons certainly had choices made by the devs that people weren’t that happy with, but like you said you don’t go through menus in real life. You put in the work to terraform and it takes time and that’s what gives it this sense of accomplishment.
I appreciate thinking of the game deeply like this thanks to your video ❤️ keep it up
@@raesthetic257 I never even considered the wildlife being from different places in the world and how connected that can make you feel to other humans you wouldn’t normally think of!
Ah I could make a whole second video with all the other deep thoughts I’ve had about the game since I uploaded my first one!!!
Thanks so much for your support! ❤️🙏🏼😁
Watching this video made me so happy! Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!❤
I love the perspective and your way of narrating what we're watching. Great video my friend!
I, too, fell in love with AC during March of 2020. I never really knew much about it but only heard the name like you had. I fell in love with it too! I liked that I didn't 'have' to play the previous games to play this one. Funny how you said goodbye Rocket... I am so eager for Rocket to leave my island too!
Oh that’s so cool we have like everything in common 😂 I have always felt inferior to the people who played it from the beginning but at least we found the game eventually right? Rocket was one of my original 3 and I didn’t mind her at first until I realized how much cuter every one else was! I’m not a huge fan of the sisterly personality either. Thank you so much for your comment! 😊
rlly great video !! i truly do miss the comfort of ac 💗 been thinking about replaying wild world & new leaf again ! probs will get 2 it once i have more free time from classes ^^
Oh you should when you get a break New Leaf especially is so comforting and lovely! Thank you for the comment!
Your insight is amazing and this video was soso well put together! As an older fan of the series I LOVE hearing that people are going back and checking out the older games because they're have so much personality in them. Just subscribed, I can tell your a talented creator and I'm excited to watch more video from you :D
Thank you so very much!!! I am just getting started so I really appreciate your support and kind words! Going back and playing the old games was such a joy for me! I honestly like New Leaf better than New Horizons now haha.
I LOVE this video so much, your voice is so aesthetically pleasing and I've always loved Animal Crossing and seeing this video made me feel so happy!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment I really appreciate your support! 🥰 I’m glad it made you happy!
I loved this video! You should do an island tour next!
Great idea!! Although my island is a bit of a mess 😅
Very well thought out video! I appreciate the hard work you put into making this for the animal crossing fan base 🙌💯
Thank you so much for your sweet comment!
Great video!
This video was so fun to watch. I've only been playing ACNH for about a month, and it has become such a nice part of my evening routine.
Thank you so much! It’s the best thing before bed isn’t it?? I’m so happy you enjoyed it! :)
Thank you so much for this video! I just bought a switch two days ago and was on the fence about getting AC NH. I've played AC on the Wii (don't even remember right now which version that was) and I know I did enjoy it for a while but that was about 15 years ago, if not more. I watched other videos where I often felt kind of meh about the aesthetics of the game, while some showed some lovely areas that almost convinced me but your video was the decider, as I was watching it I felt myself smiling and getting a warm feeling. Can't beat the feels. Now I'm about to start my island!
Oh wow! What a wonderful comment I’m so happy to hear that I hope you love it and get awesome villagers to start with!!! Thank you so much for your support I’m so glad my video made an impact :)
Such a cute video!! I’ve definitely been feeling some ACNH burnout, but I recently found my husband’s old DS with his Wild World save - I need to try it out !! ❤️ I thought for sure you would have thousands of subscribers, I can’t wait to see more videos!
Oh wow thanks so much! If you don’t love it definitely give New Leaf a try! It’s my favorite game on the DS it’s so good! Thank you so much for your lovely comment!
i love this video!! perfectly puts into words how different this game is from every other game on the market
Thank you so much for your nice comment! It is so different than anything else out there!
Me looking at the big binder of animal crossing amiibo cards and a Tom nook pillow: The game is okay
I just got the Kappn Amibo this week it’s in my short with the anime toy in the thumbnail and I was so excited about it!!
Love your videos. Nice to find another animal crossing fan.
I buy the amiibo cards of my fave villagers so I can allways bring them back whatever I decide to do. x
Goodbye Rocket, gone but never forgotten o7
Rest In Power
Awesome video! Very clear and concise analysis. I've been playing the series since 2006, and have similar sentiments as to why Animal Crossing works so well. Looking forward to more from you!
Thank you so very much for your kind words, it’s the best game :) new video coming soon I really appreciate your support!
New video it up now! 🙂
This couldn't be more true! I have tried playing other games, but I just CAN'T!
It’s just TOO good!! :) thanks for the comment!
@@dearestdimple No problem!
Thanks for this video ❣️
Thanks for your lovely comment!
Great analysis 🤗
What makes it so special for me is definitely the sound effects and the music always by your side
Also that you can collect so many insects and fish
I could go on and on haha 😅
It's like this ever so peaceful escape from this busy and loud world...
(Well except in wild world it was so hard to catch those fish !!!! I started playing ac games in 2007)
Man that is so cool! I’m jealous of all those extra years you got on me playing the games! And why was it so dang hard to fish in that one!? Haha
I love the music too do you have a favorite sound effect? Right now my favorite is the “YEE” Katrina let’s out when she is telling your fortune 😂
@@dearestdimple I only got to play wild world for two years before it got fried into a coffee incident in spring 2009 :( (but by some luck found another copy 10 years after !) but i do feel grateful to have been playing for so long
(honestly when i see people who have also played on gamecube i'm like wow )
It was so hard to catch the fish because it kept moving every second you threw your fishing rod (worse than in new leaf 😂)(same for bugs in new leaf you can stop and creep in on the bug but in wild world you can't do that and it's a pain 🤐) hope this made sense ?
My favourite sound effect is walking on sand hehe always loved it
Also the cicadas in the summer 🥰
Or when you step closer to your town tree in new leaf and the music dims a little and you hear the wind blowing (i know kinda basic haha )
For npc is dr shrunk the music before he told a joke it's just so goofy 🤪
Do you have any other favourite sound effects ?
Sorry for the long reply have a nice day ! 🤗
@@horselover7744 oh not the coffee!!!! That’s TRAGIC :((( I had a similar experience when my little sister tripped over my GameCube cord and bricked it when I was a kid it’s so sad!
Even though catching bugs and fish is so much easier in new horizons I still have never caught a scorpion or a tarantula they knock me out every time!!!
I love the moment when you get close to the town tree too it’s so lovely!
I wonder if they will ever bring Dr. Shrunk back to the new game? He was so silly 😜
I love the long comments no apologies necessary!
@@dearestdimple It fried both the game and my console (ds lite )
Oh no not the cord that's the worse 😭I can't imagine your pain the bigger consoles are much more expensive too
I don't know what it's like in new horizons (acnh-less here )(played it twice thanks to a family member though😄) but do you think maybe the wasps and tarantulas are the new bee/wasps of the series ? 😂
Also after you review the history of your town when there is a double rainbow and you are right in the center/aligned to take the pic it's so satisfying ☺
I wished they would bring him back he was so funny but idk since the reactions are taught by villagers now
I don't think so 😢
Could you imagine if they did put him back
Maybe in the museum on the left you got brewster and on the right you would have had dr.shrunk ?
I'm glad you don't mind the long comments
Thank you for the taking the time to reply btw 🤗
Happy Birthday!
Thank you so much!! ❤️🥰
❤love it! Awesome video
Thank you! 🥲❤️
Her face at the untamed flowers LOL. Great video for a beginner like me! I played for a day, sold 2 seashells and didn't know how to make money so I gave up.
Thank you that’s gotta be one of my favorite parts of the video 😂 thank you for watching! I hope you give it another chance someday, selling fruit from another island will make you the big bucks in the beginning! Or certain bugs and fish and fetch more bells too!
Very good video
Thank you so much for your support!
NH is a great game, despite some of its flaws, though nothing can compare to the magic, mystery and uncharted territory of the Gamecube version for me. I remember faking sick in grade 4 so I could stay home all day and play it ahah
What a wonderful story! hahaha I can imagine that would be a pretty awesome day home from school! I think many Westerners have a big soft spot for the Game Cube version too. Thanks so much for your lovely comment it made me laugh. :)
Cool content. Subbed.
Thank you so much for your support!
i hope this isn't weird, but you have really incredible oratory skills, this was all beautifully said!!
Not weird at all thank you so much for the compliment! I’m glad you enjoyed the video :)
36th subscriber! This was a WONDERFUL look at this game. And I found myself doing the same thing. Playing "backwards." There's a great sense of simplicity and coziness that no other game has like Animal Crossing. I'm glad I was recommended your video :)
It is a fun journey playing them backwards isn't it? haha Thank you so much for your support and sub! I will try to catch your next stream :)
@@dearestdimple of course!
To me it's just so easy and chilled to play, is what makes it so good
Yes yes! So relaxing
Why do you only have 81 subs? Idk but this content deserves more subs??
*unrelated btw lol*
Wow thank you so much!! I just started two weeks ago, new video on Wednesday! Thank you again for your support!
I do have a similar game like animal crossing that kinda meet the requirements this person is looking for! It’s called MySims! It was on the DS. It has the design like AC and I got confused when new horizons came out because it was so similar 😂 it also has the real time clock mechanic
It took 2 years for him to find an answer I hope he sees your comment!! Haha
great video!! i wish you'd included timestamps / chapters in the video!
Thanks for the feedback! I have tried but have not figured that out yet! Hopefully I can in my next upload, it might be a partner only feature? I will definitely try again!
I figured it out and they are now on all videos! Thanks for the feedback!
Love it!
Thank you!! 😊
i agree with everything you said!
Thank you so much for the sweet comment! I’m glad you enjoyed the video :^)
style boutique, or style savvy in the US, game uses a real-time clock system in some of its releases. saying this it doesn't affect the atmosphere as much as AC.
Good to know!! I have found one other game since posting the video Tomodachi life! 🥰
I was going to mention Tomadachi Life! There's a TH-cam channel called Ohhmykawaii who does a lot of content from TL. I love your channel ❤
awesome video!! ^_^
Thank you so much! ❤️
Not played AC yet but looking to, it looks great and love the DS!
I would definitely suggest giving it a try! What other games do you like?
@@dearestdimple pokemon and disney dreamlight
@@glamrockchick1990 No doubt you’d absolutely love it then!
@@dearestdimple aww amazing
you need more subscribers!
Thank you so much! Hopefully my channel will keep growing!
I agree wih the video! Have you heard of the game Magician's quest? I think it's the most similar to AC but you're in a magician's school! Please give it a look.
Woah! No, I’ve never heard of it I will look it up! What platform is it on?
@@dearestdimple It's for the nintendo DS. There is only one version of the game translated in English, there's more in Japanese. You could try the one in English if u can :) Thanks for the reply!
@@gloomboomy I definitely will I looked it up and it looks so cute!
Remember us all when you're famous lol
As a special education teacher I could see Animal Crossing as a way to help kids with Social Skills deficits.
What an awesome insight! I’ve had many people reach out and say this game helped them with social skills or communication in some way it’s so lovely!😊✨
I still have my old copy of animal crossing on gamecube
That is awesome! I’m jealous I wish I still had my game cube I hope you still boot up your town from time to time :)
@@dearestdimple yeah
Hey this is your cousin [Sarah] and I have a request. Maybe you can make something about Turning Red since we both love it. Just a suggestion 😉
Hey that’s a great idea!
you make me wanna sub
You totally should! 🤠
@@dearestdimple too late, i already did :)
The weird thing is, these types of games also are a form of escapism. Especially in 2020 and today's society.
I'd like to play the games other than New Horizons but it's the only game where I can be black without having to engage with the tanning system (which doesn't work in winter, only lets you be lightskin, and has to be maintained weekly by standing in the sun).
I literally can't play the game as me.
That’s so unfortunate, I’m glad they did add it to new horizons! But that’s too bad you can’t experience the old ones with an avatar that looks like you. 💔 I always thought the tanning mechanic was super strange I never knew about it until I unintentionally experienced it one hot summer day in game and I was so confused!
I wonder if there are any emulated versions of the old games with mods to change skin tone? That would be amazing 🥲
Hey!!! I found a loophole!! The Mii Mask!! In New Leaf and animal crossing City Folk if you put on a Mii Mask with a different skin tone it will change the entire character's skin tone to match so you can look like YOU! I know this is so far after our original convo but I found this out when researching for a new video and thought you'd like to know :)

Game makers be like "WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!" ...not.
I can't wait for the EmpLemon video where he goes "There will Never Ever be another New Horizons" and goes over all of the game's most iconic moments, in game and community, wholesome and videos not suited for children.
Your voice sounds like Mila Kunis!
I love her thanks so much! 😊
