    I can't believe I'm admitting this but Resetti actually did make me cry as a child. I was playing wild world on my DS and I couldn't repeat Resetti's words back to him correctly because it has to be exactly right including punctuation. I had to get my brother to do it for me.

      Haha yea, the games are very strict on having you repeat back the phrases exactly… It makes sense he was toned down and made optional later on, but I still kind of miss his angry rants… Maybe he’ll play a bigger role in the next game. 🤔

      I was literally the exact same, I dreaded seeing the red light on my ds if I wasn't near my charger playing animal crossing cos he made me cry multiple times (something tells me the developers didn't get that a 6 year old probably doesn't understand punctuation yet lol)

    I like how in the e+ version, they added a feature where when you try to mash through Resetti's dialogue it actually counts how many times you press the button and he says "you pressed the button X times!" I saw on a Japanese site that someone was trying to have a competition with their siblings to see the highest number they could get, and got over 400. Poor Resetti.

    I actually think it's really cute how they made Resetti opt-in in New Leaf. He'll show up on your first reset, then never again "because we got defunded". But if you go out of your way to build the Reset Surveillance Center, he'll be surprisingly happy about it! You can even, under very specific circumstances, sneak your way down the manhole and check out the place for yourself. He'll briefly scold you for doing so, before being interrupted by _someone else_ resetting and having to SCRAM! to deal with it.

      I made sure he had his job back, and was very forgiving if you say "My batteries died" aka my go-to whenever I reset, lol
      He has a new job now, which is the island rescue service. He "resets" your position if you get stuck somewhere.

      He will show up whether you reset or not, and if you had, he will basically say something like "Nah, you resetted your game but like, I'm just so happy to have my job back that I don't even care. This one's a freebie, no lecture for you!"
      And if you didn't reset he will point out that he couldn't anyways since you didn't reset.

The other games also work pretty identically to the GameCube version so there wasn't a lot else to cover. The GameCube version also has the best Resetti dialogue / scenarios so I focused on that version, along with the player input secret -- though I regret not mentioning that you could actually visit Resetti's surveillance center in the Japanese e+ version.

    The first time I met Mr. Resetti was after a power glitch that shut my gamecube off. I was annoyed that he accused me of trying to game the system by resetting the game and to accept the consequences of my actions. After that, I purposefully would reset just to annoy him back. He became one of my most favorite characters after that.

    I first encountered Resetti in New Leaf and felt bad for him when he first appeared and how he apparently lost his job. I looked him up more about him and thought his whole thing was pretty charming. I rarely incurred his wrath afterwards, though I might've done it on accident...
    He's be upset with the amount of resetting I've done in New Horizons.
    Fun fact: He's an assist trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and he's got some funny interactions. He'll counterattack if he keeps getting attacked and has special dialogue if he goes off-screen.

  • @Stratelier
    @Stratelier Год назад +35

    My hypothesis (prior to watching video):
    - When you load your save file (village), the game saves a small flag that marks the file as unsaved (in application programming, commonly called a "dirty flag", except this one gets stored with the actual save file instead of just being held in active memory)
    - This flag is cleared when you save and quit.
    - When loading your save file, if the flag was _already_ set, this implies the prior session ended WITHOUT a "save and quit", so Mr.Resetti appears to berate the player.
    Clever but technically simple stuff. I remember back when Mario Kart DS launched, it was theorized that when you play online, before the match starts the game pre-saves the outcome as a loss (in case you disconnect/power off), only to replace it with the _actual_ outcome upon completion of the match. There were many flaws in the design of MKDS's online but this was not one of them.

We had been waiting to play Smash Bros one afternoon and they wouldn't get off so my brother got upset and turned the console off. They started crying about Resetti warning them not to do it again and loaded the game back up to find the cutscene where he says he's going to reset your save file. Screaming ensues and hands are thrown, parents arrive wondering what the fight is about just to have smug-ass Resetti be on the screen saying "Gotcha." I feel bad about it because it ultimately did get them grounded for hogging the gamecube and starting a fight over a video game.

      This occurs when you reset while visiting another player’s town through a second memory card. It’s pretty amusing, but wasn’t covered here since Resetti isn’t the one who does this to you. This actually occurs due to the game itself intentionally making you appear that way, but yea it will go back to normal after saving and quitting again.

    So I… reset the console again, in hopes that I wouldn’t have to enter something the next time, and be able to play the game again lmao.

    I loved gcb animal crossing, resetti was someone I came across because of power outages and such, and I loved him amongst the other cast members of the first game. I've played every game since. I played New Leaf the most and the wii one the least, but I absolutely loved each game including NH on switch
    I will forever and always hold a soft spot for the first one, with all of that uncapped and seemingly experimental attitudes and personalities

    I love this mechanic, I just laugh out loud at these cool 4th wall jokes, like resetti introducing himself as a Nintendo employee or turning your screen off
