- I've spent an absurd amount of time in my life playing Animal Crossing. Here's some of my favourite memories, my general thoughts and opinions on each game, and why the series means so much to me!

Fun fact: The characters in the first Animal Crossing can recognize a love letter and reject you.
When I was a kid, I thought Olivia was pretty and was borderline obsessed with her, so I sent her such a letter. She rejected me completely, told me to leave her alone, and included a piece of furniture as bargaining and out of pity.
It was a golf bag.
God, I miss the characterization of early animal crossing. All the villagers now feel like window dressing for your island. They all say the same stuff, repeat themselves so much, and just in general are way more 'nice'
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.
Josh Hallam what?
@@joshhallam7705 lol what
@@kid14346 is that still a thing in ACNH? I kinda remember doing that in WW out of seeing the reaction of the characters, but I dunno if that "feature" was removed :o
"Why would Nintendo make a fish that can only be caught in a specific place, time and weather?"
**turns and stares at Feebas**
Just came into the comments to say this, it's exactly what came to mind when he was describing the process.
That's GameFreak
Fee? Bas!
Animal Crossing is actually developed in-house at Nintendo, Pokémon is essentially a third party franchise developed by Gamefreak
@@DrWiley-fm3ik true, forgot about that
That Matryoska story is probably one of the most heartwarming things I have heard all day.
Minus the part where he absolutely butchers the word, ha
And that why animal crossing is so wholesome.
all DAY? try month

@@mann-nova9392 Is that not how you pronounce it?
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.
You must not have paid the rent, I assume.
_RIP AND TEAR... UNTIL IT IS DONE._
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.
Guess you didn’t give him his nuts
A little late, but I loved this video! I also miss the old school yard myths. There were a ton of those with Pokemon back in the day.
lol
I remember my older brother telling me there was a secret way to find the ship that Gulliver was on by contacting a helicopter by building a helicopter pad and flying over to a cave where the boat would be. I never did build the helicopter pad needed, unsurprisingly
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid lost the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Esteban Carmelo Instablaster =)
@Graham Will I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
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.
@@weegle. hey why would you say something like that friend? D;
@@MineSlimeTV hes in every comment section in every video I watch. Im scared.
@@weegle. lol wtf??
12:34
I like how when he talks about dreams there’s literally Dreams.
Fun Fact: That level was made by Nitro himself and was based on a dream he had.
@@Grayalloy337 turns on PS4 inserts dreams
@@Grayalloy337 is there footage of someone playing that
@@DiagonalTanooki Not to my knowledge, but he does talk about it more in his “top 10 best games of 2020” video.
"So many nooks and crannies"
ha
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
Regular voice: ya u right lol
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.
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
Except with wild world
@@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!
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 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
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 ;)
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.
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.
"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.
“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
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
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.
This is one of my favorite videos of yours in a while. I hope you do more like this.
“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.
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 :’)
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.
Yes James. The Tom Nook name thing did, in fact, blow my mind.
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.
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.
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.
The way you say “card” makes you sound really Canadian
Edit: Teletoon and YTV? Yeah that explains it lol
He is Canadian. =)
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.
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.
This man has got to have one of the most soothing voices I've ever heard.
Indeed, he is relaxing to listen to.
You forgot to mention the Startropics reference that Gulliver makes when you save him! He mentions Coralcola!
YOU CAN'T FORGET SOMETHING YOU DIDNT KNOW TO BEGIN WITH BRO
FOUND OUT ABOUT THAT SHIT TODAY DUDE, IT'S SICK
@@NitroRad
I was so excited when I saw it! I was like "Nintendo didn't forget about you Startropics!"
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.
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
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.
I love that the visual representations of your dreams take place in Dreams.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Thank you for making this video. It reminds me of the best memories I have from being a kid. I’ve lost my OG files for the GC and DS games, which I played the most. It makes me feel better that I’m not alone in that, bc those town files meant so much to me. Also, animal crossing forums back in like ‘07 was the best way to get friend codes. I made sooo many online friends that way, some of which I’ve reconnected with for new horizons!
I really love this video!! It feels so nostalgic and warm to hear you relive your experiences with the series-- thank you for opening up and sharing with us!
That 6:05 voice made me so happy :D
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
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.
My favorite part of all your videos are the little story’s you’ve had with each game and this was like a whole video of that. Hope you make more like this
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.
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!
I have so many memories of Animal Crossing which is how I have meet so many friends who I talk to and meet up to this day :)
I loved this video, man. The series is intensely nostalgic for me and I can't discuss it in the critical way I ordinarily do with games. This video scratched an itch for me, and I also appreciated all the clever/subtle editing.
5:29
I’ve been pronouncing it “Jie-roid” for years and now I’m questioning everything.
it is jie-roid. like gyrate, the motion that their arms do
Matchreyaska
@@RollRobin Not to mention Loid's penchant for gyrating in circles.
It is Jie-Roid though
Don’t forget James is Canadian
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
Do more videos like this! One of my favorite things about your channel is how much you put your own opinions and personal passions into your reviews, you just have this amazing way of making me feel almost like I grew up playing the games that are special to you with you as friends. This is one of my favorite videos you've done!
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!
Man, I am still playing with my Gamecube Save file
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 :)
I think this is one of my fav vids from you! Such a simple idea but man hearing about someone experiencing their favorite games and all its iterations is really lovely.
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
why am i interested in the storylines of James' Animal Crossing nightmares?? is this a holdover from my brief creepypasta phase?????
this video was so well organized, sequenced, and thought out. the order of events, games and true nostalgia that came from your tone and story telling gave me second hand child like nostalgia. I love this video and you earned my sub
After all the progression posts on your Twitter I've been super stoked for this video! Always a joy when a new vid drops.
0:49 I fall into this hole every time
FALLS INTO HOLE
Never was a fan of the original gamecube game but new horizons looks much more interesting
I was expecting it to be the regular type of video but it was very wholesome.
Honestly one of my favorite videos you've made in a while. Love the more personal videos
I always thought Tom Nook was named based on the saying “Every Nook & Cranny”
Seeing Nitro Rad play 185 hours in 10 days... That's almost 19 hours a day. WHEN DO YOU SLEEP
Absolutely loved this video- hearing about nostalgic, personal history with games is really.... comforting, I think is the best way to put it? Thank you, that was a great half-hour.
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.
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
I remember my memory card having K K on it. So I guess EU got him.
This is the first video I'm watching of yours and it was very charming. How personal and informative it was was great and it answered the question I ask when viewing new content creators right away. What kind of person is this creator and what kind of personality do they bring their content. Getting to see something more genuine, let alone covering a series so personal to myself as well was a great way start out for me. Will be looking at your other stuff for sure.
I really love these sorta of videos where you just reminisce about things you grew up or games you love, it’s really calming and nice 😄 I’d love to see more!
ok, this is epic
Is it though?
1:22 The original game is Animal Forest on the Nintendo 64, so your wrong!
Man....whenever I am having a rough time it always helps to listen to your video about Animal Crossing, its unexpectedly calming and relaxing :)
Been a huge fan of you for a long time (a patron since the beginning but a fan since much before that!), and I have absolutely loved Animal Crossing since the GameCube version much like yourself. This video was just great and definitely tugged at my heart strings of nostalgia. Thanks, James. Keep up the great work as always. :)
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
Tom Nook: Gimme your FRICKING MONEY!!!
Anyway, I spent SO MUCH time playing New Leaf.
Awesome video - both generally retrospective and personal. I think this was probably the best way to get across what's so special about the game as I've never been sold on Animal Crossing before, but maybe I'll have to finally check the series out sometime now :P
Loved the video, Nitrorad. I always appreciate it when you talk about your personal experiences with certain games.
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
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
beautiful vid man!! i teared up a bit when you were talking about your experiences with the older games
That was the video I needed. Just a nice little talk about my favorite game. Thank you for sharing your personal story with the game, it made me feel very comfortable!
Thanks nitrorad for making this video:) had so many simeral experienced and memories from this game. Love this, watch this video everytime i get a bit down. Thanks! :)
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.
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.
I love this video, I wouldn't mind having more stuff like this that's just you talking about video game memories. It's really cozy.
this is such a chill video! love the second or two of club penguin footage as well
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!
You and Brady should do more '100 things I like about...' videos. I loved the positivity of that video
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 honestly love these more personal, retrospective videos. This and the Canadian TV one are some of my favourite videos on the channel. I’d love to see more like this.
this video got me to think about my own childhood. wow i mean im sill in my childhood but animal crossing is a part of my life too that brought so much to me. i grew up with the wii and ds and this story made me emotional.
One easter egg I always enjoyed in animal crossing is in every game, if you visit the nook store in the last 10 minutes of them being open, the game plays an orchestrated version of the shop theme. It's such a small detail but the orchestral theme is always so calming and wholesome sounding. I always imagined it represents tom nook or timmy and tommy having a peaceful end to their long day of work.
Gonna be perfectly honest, I would LOVE to see more of this kind of thing. It was super heartwarming and wholesome.
