Nice hot sauce 😋

i like the gba rerelease of mario 3 with the bonus levels through the e-reader cards. there was a patch, done as a romhack, for the gba version of mario 3 that unlocked all the bonus levels in the e-reader world.

I think a modern game with all its extra memory and so forth could implement some sort of awareness stat into your character(s). The more aware your character is, the easier it is for you (the player) to see the encounters on the overworld screen. As you start, even level 1 villains are completely invisible and all encounters are random. As you level up, they first show up as tiny pixels you can barely see, then as a you gain more levels, they eventually become completely visible. It would, of course, scale. For example, at level 10, you can see all the level 1 villains easily. However, level 5 are transparent and level 9 are just pixels and level 15 are completely invisible still. Of course, some villains would have greater invisibility than their level. For example, you'd have to be level 15 or 20 to even see a level 2 or 3 ghost.

I was in the sixth grade when Mario 3 was announced. I even saw "The Wizard" (starring Fred Savage) in theaters. (Most people only saw it to get a glimpse of Mario 3.) While other games have been equal or even greater over the years when compared directly to it, there is a reason it is considered a classic as there was nothing even worthy of comparison at the time. Also, for anybody who is a fan of Mario 3 but wants more, I'd recommend checking out the rom hack "Super Mario 3mix". It is a great throwback to this absolute classic, but with elements from later games thrown in as well. EDIT: Also, this commercial really captured the spirit of every grade school playground at the time.... ruclips.net/video/HU80R7jGanE/видео.html

New Horizons gives me too much control to the point it honestly kind of overwhelms me.

Yeah T_T While I love customizing my island and I do love that the villagers won't move out without warning, the game itself is so shallow under its pretty face. The dialogue is so limited, which is a HUGE part of why the characters feel so soulless and flat. There are so few types of interactions you can have with your villagers, and many of them I actively avoid because they can be detrimental to your island, if you care about things like what your villagers' houses look like or what clothes they wear. I don't deliver gifts anymore because Chief got a bathrobe once and he NEVER TAKES IT OFF. I've gifted him clothes I like on him several times and he's still ALWAYS wearing that bathrobe, and to me it's just a huge flag walking around saying "remember how frustrating this game is?" I also hate to talk to villagers when they're "thinking" now because I don't want to have to quickly quit without saving if they say they want to move and can't be dissuaded the first time. So that's another one of the few interactions that I hate and don't participate in. Plus villagers barge into my house EVERY time I go in it, so I avoid my house too unless I want to risk puttering around for several minutes until my home invader wants to leave. And I liked when villagers came to my house in New Leaf! Because they weren't boring, flat, walking canned line regurgitators, and they didn't do it EVERY time I went into my house! Another thing that makes the island and villagers feel lifeless is that you can't interact with most of the decorations/furniture, and the villagers can only look at things, water things, dance, and sit down. My sister still plays Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, and that game is CONSTANTLY getting new outfits and furniture, and the villagers can interact with ALL of them. There are things they can get inside, things they can jump on, fly in, dance on, etc etc so the villagers can DO things and the furniture isn't just useless set dressing. Plus the furniture in ACPC is WAY more interesting; I want to have all the fantasy stuff from that game. And the outfits and hair are so well done and pretty, while I feel like I just settle on my character's hair in ACNH while knowing Nintendo has done better elsewhere. I have so many other complaints about quality of life in ACNH too. Why do I have to enter and exit the dressing room every time I want to buy something if the items don't all fit onto one outfit? I have ADHD, and you expect me to keep track of which ones I already got?? And why not have an indicator that it's already in your catalogue/in storage?? And so many of the limitations with decorating are so inane and frustrating, like unavoidable gaps/things being impossible to line up, being unable to put rugs outside, not being able to hang wall decorations on cliffs or anything outside, and those are just the first things that came to my head immediately. Oh yeah, and why is it so incredibly hard to get DIY recipes without finding people online to trade with??? I got on a few months ago and spent many in-game weeks trying to get the decayed tree recipe and I still don't have it T^T Part of me wonders if they made it so unsatisfying on purpose, because if the game was too well executed, people might not feel the need to buy the next game because they're happy enough with the previous one. That's one of the theories about why the pokemon games keep adding new game features while removing the best ones from game to game: to increase replayability. "If you want to play the game where pokemon follow you around, play this one! If you want to mega evolutions, play this other one!" etc. Sorry about the essay lol but I have so many complaints and was ready to rant

Nice video! I saw this after seeing your SMB3 video, and was curious about your take on this subject. I see we're in agreement! I like your video content. Subscribed. :)

I'm impressed with your knowledge of classic games! I'm surprised to see that level of knowledge and interest from someone so young. I love how you also brought up the video game crash here in the USA from the 80's. Nintendo was pivotal in bringing us back from the crash. As for me when I was a kid, I continued playing the video games I had on my ColecoVision and Commodore 64 while others lost interest... but was pleased to see gaming make a comeback with the arrival of the NES and Super Mario Bros.

But can we agree that games jn generak have gone down? New games dont hit right

Its so weird because i love new horizons genuinely, however it doesnt compare to new leaf for me. I think its too easy. I want it to have more depths, make one decision that could lead to a different outcome rather than everyones hourney be rhe exact same. Id like to see being able to design shops, and pick and choose what shops come to your island.

Came for the review, stayed for the quality. Keep up your great work! Subbed 😄

I played the original Gamecube version years ago and enjoyed it for a month or so before I got bored. I played New Horizons for maybe 30 minutes before I knew they had ruined it, it seems they stripped out a lot of the social elements to the game and it became mostly about collecting furniture and other things to make your island look nice. The game just didn't appeal to me and felt soulless, which I think is kind of typical of Nintendo these days.

I’ve never played the old animal crossing games so i cant really relate to the part of missing the old characters, buildings, etc but i will agree new horizons does get boring after a while. I’ve had the game since release, played it 24/7, then never picked up the game again. Sure theres the DLC where you can decorate villager vacation homes but other than that it feels like its not really worth picking up the game anymore. It also doesn’t feel relaxing and more of a competition of who can make a pretty island with cute villagers and do it all over again. Maybe its fun for some people but i get overwhelmed or bored thinking of a “perfect island”.

It's still my favorite Super Mario game.

subbed! more vids like this please =)

I did not watch the video.

I think you made a really great point when you mentioned that time stops when we stop the game. To further expand on that, I think the biggest issue is that the game forgot why we wanted to play it. It's not just being able to customise everything. It's an escape from our lives. Before we just had to chill on the island, free of responsibilities, making friends and just existing. Whether we were there or not, life went on and villagers could just leave. Now in NH, everything is centered around us, we control everything like a puppermaster. That's why the game feels soul-less to me and lost the charm of the series.

I played new leaf for 4 years straight, even got my town corrupted and had to restart. I pre-ordered horizons, played it for a month and then sold it back to gamestop some time afterwards. I wish I didn't sell it so I could experience the updates I guess.

See I grew up watching my sisters play animal crossing on the GameCube and I remember them being DEVASTATED when one their favorite villages would leave them a letter telling them they’d packed up their bags and would never see them again. The dialogue was also VICIOUS but it was just so hilarious, it felt like you were living in THEIR world as opposed to them being nothing more than decorations in yours with New Horizons. I personally played City Folk like there 😢was no tomorrow and I spent countless hours growing up with that game. So much charm (although I know dialogue had started to see it’s changes), the holidays were so exciting and your villagers would talk about it leading up to the actual event which made it feel so much more real, and the special NPC’s randomly popping up felt like a treat rather than what new horizons gives us where half are missing and the ones that are there lack so much personality and just kind of stand there at town hall…. New horizons got me through pandemic but it’s a game I can’t bring myself to go back to. I never played animal crossing for the customizations…as nice as the feature is, I played for their friendships I would form, the excitement each new day brought something different, and the connections I would create to escape the real world. It just felt like there always something new to discover, and New horizons felt like everything was on the table from the get go. No surprises. And not in a good way.

in their efforts to make everything "easy for new ppl" they made a bland basic shell of a game

You just complaining all the time… it‘s new horizons not new leaf… get over it!!! It has a lot new stuff!!! What is wrong with you!!! Not thankful at all!

I consider this game to be better than 64,yeah i know what a blaysphemy to say

It's 2024 I'm still waiting for Super Mario Bros 4.

I think this video sucks tbh. You don’t really list what made the old games special beyond 1. Time actually seems to pass and 2. The intro music is better.. like uh ok? The way you write the script too it just sounds like a kid throwing a fit rather than a nuanced take

but...Raymond crossdressing in a maid outfit. :((

I don't usually comment on videos much but I just have to in this case. Wild World was my first AC game back when I was in 3rd grade and I loved everything about it. I spent ages just talking to the villagers, finding things to do or sometimes just sit in one my cozy rooms and listen to the K.K. tunes. City folks was alright, had me hooked for a long while too, didn't get to play New Leaf much because I was too busy with school and getting a job. But from the bit that I played it seemed really cool. The first time I booted New Horizons I was excited because the graphics looked superb and it all was promising. Something I noticed really quickly was that the villagers seemed to not have too much to say but I was too busy building and exploring that I didn't mind it much. After more Villagers moved in I got annoyed with how dull they all were. They all said the same thing and I could do them no wrong, whether I was gone for a year or not. Back in Wild World, the Animals had soooo much to say after you got to know them. "Got to know them" is the key here, bc some didn't want anything to do with you if you were strangers and some straight up insulted you sometimes. It felt like they had their own personality. I read somewhere that some kids got sad after the Villagers were mean to them so they removed all of this to babyproof the whole game. I also remember that back when the game came out you were the ultimate villain if you collected Villagers just for their looks and not their personalities. But what personality? The looks is all we were left with. Also time skipping? You were called a cheater and everything under the sun if you dared to time skip. In the old days, time skipping was part of the game (also it's a single player for the most part but that's besides the point xD) I don't want to keep on rambling but I gotta say that I'm glad I found your video. I felt so alone back when the game came out because I hated it but everyone kept praising it and saying how good it is but I miss the personality and most of all the soul that the old games had. Sorry for the wall of text, hope you all have a great day <3

Make animal crossing great again ❤❤❤

I liked it

I totally agree with this. This game is just a decorating simulator, which is fun for a while, but the island just feels so dead. The villagers have very predictable, repetitive dialogue. No one wants to play hide and seek or anything out of the ordinary. If you find a lost item they literally just tell you who it belongs to. There's no "gameplay." I can't bring myself to finish decorating my island because I know that past that, there's nothing to do. I really wish they had just remade New Leaf with more customization options. After 4 years, the game definitely feels very empty.

Damn, girly just ended Nintendo and said peace out 😂

The game is definitely boring AF; I just picked it up again and yeah I STILL feel the same way. I’ve never played any other AC game to compare how fun it is amongst the titles.

channel dying? just post a negative video on New Horizons and see the views hike

This game is weird bc it is my first AC experience but it did become hollow so quickly. As a lifelong simmer the terraforming and expansion pack have been the two funnest parts. I still revisit it as a comfort space but there really isn’t much to do except grind away at cutting and picking up stuff. I did want to mention that the weirdest part is that the developers have put an inordinate amount of detail into the game programming (the flowers blooming, certain dialogues, weather programming, etc. and the graphics are gorgeous…) but there’s still something missing. It might be the villager one dimensionality… the lack of interaction with the objects, not sure yet!

I dont think it was a train wreck, they took the custimization weve been wanting for a while and gave us things like happy home designer (being able to to design your own villagers houses), terraforming, and customizing your characters features. BUT i will agree where it lacks is the building upgrades, my biggest dissappointment with this game is there isnt like a certain thing that you cna pride yourself on showing other “look how far ive gotten in this game?” In New Leaf it was the town tree growing bigger, in Wild world it was sizing up your Nook shop until it was a 3 story mall! I was so so so sad when i realized that updates were coming and our nook shop didnt grow beyond 1 expansion 😢

I love new horizons for its building & aesthetic possibilities since it calms me down, but in terms of actual gameplay and homely feeling it has nothing on new leaf. New leaf will forever be my favorite animal crossing game😊

i think they made it too "nice". no more lip from villagers, it's just all about being anxiety free safespace uwu uwu cushion. there is a reason why we all moved on to stardew

Frankly, this is how I've felt about every entry in the series since dropping the original. For me, the original had a real novelty when it came out, but once that novelty wore out, I kind of just got bored of it. And none of the new games have reintroduced any kind of their own novelty. I feel like the series itself is a shell of an idea just waiting to be filled, and in my opinion, none of the things you listed from any other AC help to fix that problem. Except for the passage of time part you mentioned. I do think something neat could be done if they took the "simulate what happens over time" aspect of something like Dwarf Fortress (super simplified of course, we don't need "pinky toe got broken" level info, just "villager did this on this day") to generate a constant stream of drama, comedy, etc. For example, instead of just "it got messy while you were gone" or "someone moved away," why not "Mathilda got mad at Sparro on June 3rd, causing her to move her house across town. Now you can sometimes catch her late at night, egging Sparro's house." and both characters would talk to you about this and maybe ask you to help them resolve it. Just a little bit of that could really help liven things up if applied across the whole game. You were gone a long time, so Isabelle took up your role and made some changes to the island without you. Could even have villagers talk about how much they donated, and whether they like her or your changes more, etc. I think there's a soul somewhere inside Animal Crossing, just waiting to be found. But at least in my opinion, they've come nowhere close yet. Frankly, I wouldn't mind the option to straight up live in towns with other players. Whether that be the classic 4-players in a town or just a town of exclusively players, I think either could be neat. And by players I mean online, not just locally. Leaving each other letters, having certain areas you could change, maybe voting on a mayor, occasionally catching each other online and being able to maybe do some minigames together or something. I think there's a lot more player interaction that could be super fun. As it stands, I've had my fill of sassy villagers of old, and saccharine villagers of new, I need something... more. A lot more. But nothing impossible. Just some ambition, a desire to really surprise and delight the player.

Unbound is my favorite pokemon game of all time

This is why I never got into NH. I caught a scorpion and felt like that was all I needed to do 😂

That's a good take on this game. They did add more over time with the expansion so you have daily task to work on. They also added the other island you can visit and set up permanent shops for the weekly visitors, but other than that it really was just a cozy escape game that released at just the right time. I am actually glad they took away that residents can just leave when not logged in. I would be devastated if Reneigh ever left my island. lol

You're so lucky to have played Canon of Vengeance first. The Canon of Create feels super half baked and rushed. Canon of Vengeance feels more complete and finished.

I have a weirder perspective on this as the only other Animal Crossing game Ive played extensively is the GameCube original. I've dabbled a little bit in Wild World on DS, but weirdly enough I never even touched City Folk or New Leaf - the latter of which i regularly hear is the best one by a long shot! However I did buy New Horizons and I rode the hype of the game's release, and... we are on the exact same page. 😅 We went through the motions in the exact same way, the progression and helping out Nook and working your way up to terraforming feeling well-paced and rewarding! And then all of a sudden, the game just kinda stops...? So many furniture sets and features were just stripped out of this game too, there are definitely gameplay clips of things from New Leaf or Wild World I recall seeing that are just nowhere to be found in New horizons. It's completely apropos to your own critique also, but as someone who only played the GameCube one too, tthe villagers now have zero personality. They're so rude and sassy in the original Animal Crossing and I'm sad to see that this meanspiritedness is gone. 😂 It feels like a series that, for better or worse, strayed from its original inspiration - which was to re-create the feeling the director was feeling at the time when he moved house so he could work at the Nintendo offices and had to adjust to a new life and felt like an outsider. I fear Nintendo is entering another of its weird behind-the-curve phases where the developers get obsessed with an idea other games and companies have already solved over the last decade. In the 2000's it was finally getting off of carts and onto disks, in the 2010's it largely felt like a struggle to figure out some sort of online infrastructure, and now in the 2020s, lord help us... I think Nintendo has discovered the sandbox game and thinks that if they build the sandbox part, they either don't have to build the game or they can ignore the roots of the franchise they slapped sandboxing onto. So many of their big releases lately show off this fantastic concept, and then I play it and hit a point where i feel the developers didn't know how to end their game. I'm just sitting there like "wait that's it?" or "Oh we're at the end already?". I hope it's a concept Nintendo falls out of love with soon, if Im being honest.

Granted the only other Animal Crossing I’ve played before this was the original Wii version, but I noticed New Horizons almost feels like there’s a dead end. Once you pick up all the seashells, find the fossils, hit the rocks, there’s not much else to do. No doubt, I’ve enjoyed playing, but I can’t sit at the game for hours and keep playing.

These Atlus games with their limited saving options have definitely made me a little paranoid about saving constantly after losing hours of progress before...

Mario 3 is dog shit

Instruction Manuals were awesome! It really sucks they don't make them anymore. Very few games these have instruction manuals. It was fun to read more about the game's lore or the character's bios.

0:50 i phisicaly had to pull back from my screen when i saw this. Stretching old games like this makes me cringe so hard i just have to look away when i see it
