As someone who still plays New Leaf and is playing rn while watching this I’m happy to see I’m not the only one lol. I like New Horizons but it doesn’t have the same feel as playing on the 3DS. My bf pretty much built up my whole town for me in New Horizons and once when I loaded up the game and just took one look and small walk around I closed it and went back to New Leaf lol. I told him it was gorgeous and I was grateful he made me an awesome town but I was like I just literally put flowers down and hit rocks lol.
@@ashtonybro god yeah I detested Tabby SO much not realising all peppy villagers were the same because she was muttering about backstabbing me under her breath RIGHT infront of me that ugly bitch got the net daily
What a coincidence! I started this game last week! I'm having lots of fun so far, and even unlocked Club Tortimer! As a black girl, it's a bummer I can't change my skin tone, though.
I always found it odd that the only way to get darker was to stand outside for a million hours since this game came out in,,, 2012 lol. Then again, that was the year the uk legalised gay marriage.
6:36 digging holes behind you trying to hit the money rock is so real 😭 it was so frustrating having to keep digging holes and still not getting the money rock
I remember when I was a child playing New Leaf Drago was my FAVORITE villager, and when I bought my Switch the first villager I found when I went villager hunting was Drago
@@loadishstoneI’ve always preferred taking time to build up my town over getting everything quickly. It gives me a reason to keep coming back to the game whereas NH made me drop it in a few months
I completely agree! Even if the New Horizons characters look kinda out of place, maybe they are too rendered for my liking, idk. I still think New Leaf has an amazing aesthetic, especially during spring and during golden hours
@@bonjouritsready I think nh has more content overall. Less variety than nl though Nh is much more craft & decorate focused, while nl is more playing with friends
I like that one aniators' take on it: New Leaf is for people who want to turn over a new leaf of their own and be responsible. While New Horizons are for the people who just want to mess around all on their own. Each games' Designer DLCs seem to also try to help scratch the itch that the other game lacks. Happy Home gives you more control over a thing isolated from your main game/town. While Happy Island gave people at least a semblance of progression and responsibility,
As a black girl that has played every single animal crossing game in the series, I cannot tell you how relieved I was when new horizons came out, and I could finally be my true self. But I’m also sad because new leaf was such an amazing game. 😂
This is so true, I’ve been playing since wild world but I didn’t care about the skin tone thing until this game and I was 10 and I remember see in the only way to get darker was to tan😭 I still love the game though
The 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦? in the thumbnail gave me flashbacks to how I would have to time travel to the summer or visit the island and leave my game to idle for over an hour just to get as close to my skin tone as possible. It would take such a long time because you could only go up one level per day and if you didn't play a day (or time traveled forward or backwards) you would lose your progress.
Wth? I am currently 5 days in my new leaf town and im black while I'm white irl. You just gotta spend some time around 3pm when the suns out. You will get tanned and after a few days of tanning you're black
I played new leaf for the first time on an emulator about a month ago and I’m absolutely in love with it, but I can’t believe it took until the year 2020 for different skin tones to be added to the animal crossing world. 😭
Well, technically, if we're talking about "animal crossing world", then skintones actually appeared in 2015 with Happy Home Designer game, but yeah, I still agree that it was a weird decision
@@pricelarva sorry that I’m commenting so late, but if you’re still looking for an emulator Citra works extremely well, and romspure has a bunch of downloadable roms including new leaf!!
im not 100% sure but i think the game pulls the hair, skin, and eye color for your villager from your mii on your 3ds, so if you play on an emulator it will just be the default mii brown hair, light skin, and brown eyes.
@@z9nc982 huh, I never heard that. Pretty sure skin tones just aren't a thing in acnl aside from "tanning", and the way your villager looks in the beginning is one of a few looks the game has based on what you tell Rover
Please don’t stop these series Vis!!! I’ve been loving New Leaf so much lately it’s become my go to game and it’s been a pain to find quality content on it 😞
0:40 fr, i would go to tortimer's island and get a tan that lasted a few weeks and when it ran out, i would look at my character like "why are you white?🤨"
recently sold my 9-year-old NL town to Tom Nook for 55mil and reset. I've been having so much fun getting back into NL, although it is a bit slow when you're waiting for that Nookingtons upgrade
I'm torn between keeping my town (my first) and selling it for the money, because I don't know how you're supposed to make 100 mil (!) otherwise for the last savings reward. Maybe in 9 years 😄
@vanyadolly Personally if i still had my original town id keep it. Im so nostalgic for it now after resetting so many times. Parts of it are still engraved into my mind. Miss it a lot
i’m convinced the very best animal crossing game would have the villager personalities of wild world, the smoothness and graphics of new horizons, and the everything else of new leaf
4:03 I remember if you were lucky you’d find a hacker who could give you a basket of any perfect fruit that had the number 0 on it, and this meant you had an infinite amount. After this you were set for life.

I still have the fruit baskets to this day and use them regularly, it set me up for the entire game. I will always be grateful to that person.
@@bean17magic I know right 😭 I only played new leaf after new horizons, and in NH Mabel literally just doesn't care. So when I first saw this I was like girl-
41:35 Okay so I have LOVED this video so far but I wasn't going to comment UNTIL you brought up removing the plants and farming for expensive beetles on Tortimers Island!! I was SO glad you knew about that! You earned the badge of real AC fan for sure!
Thanks for being one of the rare few who don't shame people for time traveling. I have a strict rule of not doing it for the first year of playing for myself.
This made me so nostalgic I love all the nuances to this game like the emblems on the tree stumps, the good luck and bad luck mechanics, the mini games on the islands, the grinding for bugs on the island, the random villagers and the police station and Brewster and all the special items like king tuts head and the Halloween event stuff like it’s so much more interactive to me bc I think majority of these features were removed since we can decorate outside in new horizons. This makes me want to start up new leaf again and see what my villagers are up to after like 6 years 😭
New Leaf was my favorite game in college, I played it for hours, and I had literally no idea that Isabelle would give you so many things 😭😭 I wish I gave her the seashell!!
I used to play new leaf non stop with no problems but feel like I’ve been spoiled by new horizons. I tried to play new leaf again and all I could do was compare how little there was to do compared to the newest game, things like not being able to put items outside, not getting to pick my villagers or having so little pocket space and customisation made it so hard for me to enjoy the game again, I still love it though, new leaf will always be an important part of my childhood
Right? I have so many hours put into New Leaf that it's nuts. But the QOL changes and new mechanics they added in New Horizons sure spoiled us. However, New Leaf has one thing over New Horizons, and that is furniture sets.
I'm glad you're giving New Leaf some love since the servers are shutting down in April! People should try it now when they have the chance. 🤧 NL isn't my favourite, (Wild World ftw,) but it's definitively the most complete, fleshed out AC experience. There's SO much to do I that still haven't finished the game after two years!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE SERVERS ARE SHUTTING DOWN??? LIKE I CANT PLAY IT EVER AGAIN??? Edit: oh you just meant the online servers I never play that way anyway lol
I actually hate that about ACNH. My villagers will give me a gift to give to another and sometimes they stop me right there at the villager’s house or at least very close. I’m like “dude their house is literally right there you do it”
i've noticed in my gameplay that villagers tend to move in nearby players! & also you can totally keep the stuff you're supposed to return if you so choose, i'm pretty sure you can open it but it messes with friendship levels
There was nothing better than stocking up on sharks and beetles, changing the ordinance to MEGA BELLS and cashing in on the big moneys! I suppose u can do that with nh, but its missing the same flair i think.
I like New Horizons, but New Leaf will forever be my favourite game of this series. It was my first Animal Crossing game and I started playing it in 2013/14. I remember staying up till late in the evening to head over to the island to catch some rare bugs and make infinite money with it lmao. When I was at my friend's house, we often played together and even at sleepovers we decided to stay up until 10pm, so we can catch rare bugs together. So yeah... nostalgia is a reason why I still love this game so much and why it's my favourite AC, but in 2018 my dumb ass decided to delete their town to start over.... I still want to kick my ass for this. I had nice villagers, I had almost every shop unlocked, I had the police station unlocked, I had many rare items, I had a lot of money and argh. I also have caught many bugs etc., I also had many Street Pass houses. Now they are gone. Everything is gone, because I was stupid- It's not the same anymore; but it still is fun tho. But I still regret it.
Both times i played this gsme, someone moved in DIRECTLY in front of the town hall. Luckily, i like the look of things being cramped so by putting down paths and framing the area witt trees, i made it work both times
Ive just returned to this game two days ago and so far ive missed this and the lay out soon I'll be getting my house extended and soon to meet the old mayor
new leaf was my absolute favorite animal crossing game, i still play it every now and then, im so devastated that the online services have been shut down, i feel as if alot of people still played that game, and its quite unfair.
I've been playing new leaf recently and you should make a part 2!! I want to see the drama, Fuchsia literally claimed me as her girlfriend and had an affair with Quillson then moved out.
01:15 I never thought of the Villagers as children. Because they are residents with neighbors they always felt like adults to me. Unless you meant the players at the time of release, because yes lots of players are kids XD
As a first time viewer your voive is calming and your humour is funny. New leaf is such a nostalgic game considering i played it nearly everyday for 7 years and have logged hundreds if not thousands of hours onto it. Love the video keep it up
New leaf was basically my whole childhood. I would always play it on my brothers 3ds and because i didnt know how to make a new character at first, i played on my sisters account until eventually i found out how to make an own account. I was very little at the time, so i couldnt really write yet. And thats how my character got his name; Ethuikp. Those were nostalgic times.
Thank you for playing this game and bringing it back to life after all these years , love your channel and would love to see a part 2 or a full series if you are enjoying the game ❤️ 😊
ACNH was my first Animal Crossing and after I played it for around 300 hours, I understood that I can't play it anymore - I hated that it was centered around designing, hated that the villagers were exactly the same. By that time, I started to think about buying a 3ds. And then I got it! Bought an old 3ds xl and obviously, New Leaf was my first download. 10 months later - still going! I play almost everyday, for the first time ever I have a town I'm pleased with (i still have to do one part of my town, but otherwise it's completed), i have 200 hours of playtime. I stopped playing New Horizons completely (even sold the cartridge) and New Leaf has clearly become my favorite in the series. Love that you're playing it now!
The fact when you were talking about selling the wall paper to butch a reindeer came and planted a flower on y’all 😂😂😂😂😂😂 also falling over means you’re unlucky that day, probably why the bugs kept flying away
i liked new leaf cause it was also grindy you can choose where villagers live by putting paths and most of the time you have to kick out all of the original villagers to get the vision you're looking for
Hoo boy if you think Lyle is a piece of shit in this game, you should see him in other games. He used to wait outside your house and if you talked to him, he'd force you to buy "health insurance" for 3000 bells
New leaf was my first animal crossing game and it has a special place in my heart. I still have my first town and go on it occasionally. When I first got new leaf I thought you fell over when your character hadn’t slept for a while, but apparently animal crossing has bad luck days which cause you to trip over. And you can improve your luck by wearing a lucky item.
27:23 YOU CAN JUMP OFF THE _CLIFF????_ I’ve been playing SINCE RELEASE, _2012, 10 whole YEARS,_ and didn’t know this. I thought you could only do the fun jump off the dock :( In other news I watched this in a few sittings and every time I came back I lost it all over again at Nooktits. 10/10 name. It’s a wonderful day to be alive
I had Mitzi in my New Leaf town when I was a kid, so I HAD to get her back when New Horizons came out. I restarted my NL town a week ago, and I managed to get Mitzi again! She was also the main source of drama in my first ever town, I just love her lol
Reading the comments from people reminiscing about acnl and talking about their childhood makes me feel old as hell. OG animal crossing was my childhood/teen obsession. New leaf was my favourite though, I can’t believe it’s over a decade old. I would have said it just came out….dang. I do love new horizons though, although people don’t realize how good they have it lol
Since I don't have a 3DS but I play new leaf with an emulator, I've been having alot of fun playing this game 💕 and what I can say is that when I first played I was very lost on things since I never actually played new leaf on a new save file (I felt like a caveman discovering fire when I first discovered perfect fruit)
I finally got new leaf a few days ago after having played new horizons and the GameCube version so seeing this is exciting, especially with a fellow black creator. Awesome video!!
10:10 i've been re-playing the game for a couple of months now and a villager moved in RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE.... literally. I couldnt even see my character when i was standing infront of my house... luckily he moved out a few weeks ago..
i actually love how you have less say in the layout and villagers, i used amiibo to get my fav villagers eventually. this game always felt more relaxing than horizons to me.
I can't remember all the villagers I had in New Leaf, especially as they would leave whenever I wouldn't play for a while. I know I had Carmen (my bestie), Savannah, Beau, Diana, Hazel, BlueBear, Beardo, Butch, Margie, Flip (who I STILL have beef with for where he put his house 😒) Grizzly, Klaus, Coach... My mind is blanking on any others but I sunk a lot of hours into that game. Nothing compared to New Horizons, but similarly I continued playing long after my friends had stopped.
Ive been playing New Leaf since 2013, I stopped playing in 2020 when I got my Switch. But recently I’ve decided to restart my New Leaf town 🥰 I love New Horizons but I still can’t help but feel that New Leaf was a little better 😢
I started this game weeks ago and really, had no clue what I was doing. ACNH was my first AC game and I was able to muddle through it much easier. I feel so lost on NL but this was so helpful.
I Play This Game 3 Weeks Ago (on Emulator) Glad There's Multiplayer on Citra. I'm Playing Online Multiplayer on Some Server, People Still Playing This Game.
That reminds me of the reason a Peppy can have in NH for sending an apology gift through you to another villager: they had a fight over who had the best fashion sense. And sometimes, I'm like, "...They fought back?"
I have an idea for when you have to villager hunt on new horizons so , ask Siri or Alexa to say any animal crossing villager hopefully they don’t repeat the same villager.And then go searching for that villager but it’s your choice witch villager you want on your island. I love your videos.❤
This game was so amazing and ur video did justice to it ! i cackled during the entire durity of this vidoe (sorry for the bad english, hi from France !)
Fun fact about the island tour mini games if you get a tour that tells you to collect a certain amount of something just double the amount of the original amount and you will always get gold so For example if you’re going on a fishing tour and it says to collect three fish just collect six of them and you’ll get the gold medal award after that you can just be AFK until the timer stops
I’m so mad at myself because when I was like 16 I rage reset out of heartbreak 💔 Kyle my closest villager my good time boy, MOVED AWAY WHEN I WENT ON AN OVERNIGHT FIELD TRIP 😢 and DIVA moved in saying “omg I love the town thanks for having me 😘” I miss that town. That was day one game release town. I regret it to this day.
As someone who has only played new leaf and someone who continues to play it in 2024, this video makes me really happy. :)
Me too!

You can edit tan level with a New Leaf save editor and homebrew
Saaame. It's a pain, but you can tan at the island if you really want to.
nowadays it’s so easy to mod your 3ds. use the save editor and change your skin tone! if your emulating you can do the same thing!

& also you can totally keep the stuff you're supposed to return if you so choose, i'm pretty sure you can open it but it messes with friendship levels
& also the falling is a mechanic! You were having a bad luck day!
There was nothing better than stocking up on sharks and beetles, changing the ordinance to MEGA BELLS and cashing in on the big moneys!
I suppose u can do that with nh, but its missing the same flair i think.
I like New Horizons, but New Leaf will forever be my favourite game of this series. It was my first Animal Crossing game and I started playing it in 2013/14. I remember staying up till late in the evening to head over to the island to catch some rare bugs and make infinite money with it lmao. When I was at my friend's house, we often played together and even at sleepovers we decided to stay up until 10pm, so we can catch rare bugs together. So yeah... nostalgia is a reason why I still love this game so much and why it's my favourite AC, but in 2018 my dumb ass decided to delete their town to start over.... I still want to kick my ass for this. I had nice villagers, I had almost every shop unlocked, I had the police station unlocked, I had many rare items, I had a lot of money and argh. I also have caught many bugs etc., I also had many Street Pass houses. Now they are gone. Everything is gone, because I was stupid-
It's not the same anymore; but it still is fun tho. But I still regret it.
Both times i played this gsme, someone moved in DIRECTLY in front of the town hall. Luckily, i like the look of things being cramped so by putting down paths and framing the area witt trees, i made it work both times
Ive just returned to this game two days ago and so far ive missed this and the lay out soon I'll be getting my house extended and soon to meet the old mayor
new leaf was my absolute favorite animal crossing game, i still play it every now and then, im so devastated that the online services have been shut down, i feel as if alot of people still played that game, and its quite unfair.
I've been playing new leaf recently and you should make a part 2!! I want to see the drama, Fuchsia literally claimed me as her girlfriend and had an affair with Quillson then moved out.
That's wild, lol
01:15 I never thought of the Villagers as children. Because they are residents with neighbors they always felt like adults to me. Unless you meant the players at the time of release, because yes lots of players are kids XD
As a first time viewer your voive is calming and your humour is funny. New leaf is such a nostalgic game considering i played it nearly everyday for 7 years and have logged hundreds if not thousands of hours onto it. Love the video keep it up
Gladys is my favorite villager in ACNH ❤
one time she went like “oh, should i move out?” and then i immediately went “NO PLEASE DONT”
New leaf was basically my whole childhood. I would always play it on my brothers 3ds and because i didnt know how to make a new character at first, i played on my sisters account until eventually i found out how to make an own account. I was very little at the time, so i couldnt really write yet. And thats how my character got his name; Ethuikp. Those were nostalgic times.
A dream comes true!!!! So nice to see you play this game. Hope you make an entire Letsplay series. :)
Thank you for playing this game and bringing it back to life after all these years , love your channel and would love to see a part 2 or a full series if you are enjoying the game ❤️ 😊
ACNH was my first Animal Crossing and after I played it for around 300 hours, I understood that I can't play it anymore - I hated that it was centered around designing, hated that the villagers were exactly the same. By that time, I started to think about buying a 3ds.
And then I got it! Bought an old 3ds xl and obviously, New Leaf was my first download. 10 months later - still going! I play almost everyday, for the first time ever I have a town I'm pleased with (i still have to do one part of my town, but otherwise it's completed), i have 200 hours of playtime. I stopped playing New Horizons completely (even sold the cartridge) and New Leaf has clearly become my favorite in the series. Love that you're playing it now!
The fact when you were talking about selling the wall paper to butch a reindeer came and planted a flower on y’all 😂😂😂😂😂😂 also falling over means you’re unlucky that day, probably why the bugs kept flying away
i liked new leaf cause it was also grindy you can choose where villagers live by putting paths and most of the time you have to kick out all of the original villagers to get the vision you're looking for
I love how you start everything with “If you only played New Horizons..”
Hoo boy if you think Lyle is a piece of shit in this game, you should see him in other games. He used to wait outside your house and if you talked to him, he'd force you to buy "health insurance" for 3000 bells
New leaf was my first animal crossing game and it has a special place in my heart. I still have my first town and go on it occasionally. When I first got new leaf I thought you fell over when your character hadn’t slept for a while, but apparently animal crossing has bad luck days which cause you to trip over. And you can improve your luck by wearing a lucky item.
27:23 YOU CAN JUMP OFF THE _CLIFF????_ I’ve been playing SINCE RELEASE, _2012, 10 whole YEARS,_ and didn’t know this. I thought you could only do the fun jump off the dock :(
In other news I watched this in a few sittings and every time I came back I lost it all over again at Nooktits. 10/10 name. It’s a wonderful day to be alive
I had Mitzi in my New Leaf town when I was a kid, so I HAD to get her back when New Horizons came out.
I restarted my NL town a week ago, and I managed to get Mitzi again! She was also the main source of drama in my first ever town, I just love her lol
32:48 I knew it was coming but the zoom in jump scare DIDNT HELP
i loved this video so much as someone who's still actively playing in 2024 🥺 please do more!!
Your commentary is golden I'm crying
Reading the comments from people reminiscing about acnl and talking about their childhood makes me feel old as hell. OG animal crossing was my childhood/teen obsession. New leaf was my favourite though, I can’t believe it’s over a decade old. I would have said it just came out….dang. I do love new horizons though, although people don’t realize how good they have it lol
Since I don't have a 3DS but I play new leaf with an emulator, I've been having alot of fun playing this game 💕
and what I can say is that when I first played I was very lost on things since I never actually played new leaf on a new save file (I felt like a caveman discovering fire when I first discovered perfect fruit)
I finally got new leaf a few days ago after having played new horizons and the GameCube version so seeing this is exciting, especially with a fellow black creator. Awesome video!!
10:10 i've been re-playing the game for a couple of months now and a villager moved in RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE.... literally. I couldnt even see my character when i was standing infront of my house... luckily he moved out a few weeks ago..
This was so fun to watch. I just love your AC content so much. Keep slaying
All the memories are rushing back lol Im SO down to see more of this playthrough of yours
Love this. Always great watching your adventures. Keep shining bright.
38:24 I WOULD CRY EVERY TIME!!
i actually love how you have less say in the layout and villagers, i used amiibo to get my fav villagers eventually. this game always felt more relaxing than horizons to me.
butch moving directly next to the bulletin board is sending me that would have me absolutely livid
I can't remember all the villagers I had in New Leaf, especially as they would leave whenever I wouldn't play for a while. I know I had Carmen (my bestie), Savannah, Beau, Diana, Hazel, BlueBear, Beardo, Butch, Margie, Flip (who I STILL have beef with for where he put his house 😒) Grizzly, Klaus, Coach... My mind is blanking on any others but I sunk a lot of hours into that game. Nothing compared to New Horizons, but similarly I continued playing long after my friends had stopped.
Hehe, I came to hopefully see the villager waddle >__
Yesss please do a part two if you enjoyed playing it! I missed so much seeing gameplay of this game :)
Ive been playing New Leaf since 2013, I stopped playing in 2020 when I got my Switch. But recently I’ve decided to restart my New Leaf town 🥰 I love New Horizons but I still can’t help but feel that New Leaf was a little better 😢
FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
I started this game weeks ago and really, had no clue what I was doing. ACNH was my first AC game and I was able to muddle through it much easier. I feel so lost on NL but this was so helpful.
I Play This Game 3 Weeks Ago (on Emulator)
Glad There's Multiplayer on Citra.
I'm Playing Online Multiplayer on Some Server, People Still Playing This Game.
Hi
Please keep making acnl vids!! It’s literally my fav ac game and youre my fav ac creator so this makes my heart very happy lol
Part 2 please!!!!! I love new leaf and your commentary was sooooo funny im a new subscriber:)
That reminds me of the reason a Peppy can have in NH for sending an apology gift through you to another villager: they had a fight over who had the best fashion sense. And sometimes, I'm like, "...They fought back?"
I have an idea for when you have to villager hunt on new horizons so , ask Siri or Alexa to say any animal crossing villager hopefully they don’t repeat the same villager.And then go searching for that villager but it’s your choice witch villager you want on your island.
I love your videos.❤
PLEASE MAKE A PART TWO LOVED THIS SM!!
the excitement on my face when i got the notification, ive been waiting for the new leaf gameplay
This game was so amazing and ur video did justice to it ! i cackled during the entire durity of this vidoe (sorry for the bad english, hi from France !)
it's crazy that some people only played acnh altohugh this masterpiece of a game existed BEFORE D: nice video :3
i am so happy you made a video about acnl! for months now i play it all day because i enjoy it more than acnh! please make more new leaf content!
as someone who started on new leaf, this was SUCH a fun throwback to such a silly game :') also, the amount of great editing in this is insane!!
This video appeared to me exactly 1 month after I start playing New Leaf 😅😅 I'm loving the game!
I love new leaf so much I’m so glad you made this!
I just restarted my 630 hour, almost 4 year NH island....and now I wanna restart my NL LOL
Fun fact about the island tour mini games if you get a tour that tells you to collect a certain amount of something just double the amount of the original amount and you will always get gold so For example if you’re going on a fishing tour and it says to collect three fish just collect six of them and you’ll get the gold medal award after that you can just be AFK until the timer stops
This was my first Animal crossing game.
Although I'm glad New horizons made pathing a thing and got rid of Grass decay.
Always in need of new leaf content I love it sm
I’m so mad at myself because when I was like 16 I rage reset out of heartbreak 💔 Kyle my closest villager my good time boy, MOVED AWAY WHEN I WENT ON AN OVERNIGHT FIELD TRIP 😢 and DIVA moved in saying “omg I love the town thanks for having me 😘” I miss that town. That was day one game release town. I regret it to this day.
