It's cute what they managed to do despite the GBA's limits. I really wish they'd carried the expanded personality types from that matchmaking minigame forward.
It’s not even just the GBA’s limits, it’s the E-reader’s limits, much smaller than the GBA. An e-reader card could barely hold a couple Super Mario Bros 3 levels, so it had to be extremely bare bones if they wanted to do anything animal crossing. Makes it even cooler IMO!

@@Most-sane-deltarune-fan Mario Kart was 2D, then went 3D, then went 2D again for GBA. I think they could’ve made it work for animal crossing. WW was already limited on the DS with no holidays and a very small town with now elevation.
I didn't know those e-Reader minigames were even a thing! They apparently weren't even mentioned on Nookipedia until January of this year.

New leaf kinda has them too if you consider that using emotions while diving in the water makes you immune to jellyfish for the duration of the emotion
What's cool about Animal Island, too, is that many of the Islanders were unique to the island and you couldn't get them in the town. Faith the koala, for example, only came back as a villager very recently! She's an uchi and she lives on my New Horizons island. :)
"Faith the koala, for example, only came back as a villager very recently! She's an uchi and she lives on my New Horizons island. :)" Do you really consider the 5th of November, 2021 to be "recently"? Also, what Faith is, is called "sisterly".
@@Most-sane-deltarune-fan Actually, the personality type is called “uchi” but can be translated as sisterly. The commenter is right. And yes late 2021 is very much recent considering she made her debut in 2002, 19 years earlier
It's crazy how many little things some of these older games were packed with, without needing to update them a single time. There were bugs ofc but generally they just worked.
It makes me wish they had made a GBA Animal Crossing. They totally could have stuck a battery and real-time clock in a cartridge and figured something out.
Massive nostalgia for the "Whodunnit" game, played with my late Uncle in the early 2000s, so I'm really happy to see this again. Thanks for the great Animal Crossing videos!
I thought I knew a lot about Animal Crossing but you always have videos about stuff I don't know; thank you for making videos on sucu interesting topics that aren't covered as much! A lot of Animal Crossing trivia or information videos cover the same stuff but you always have something really interesting to say.
I remember downloading SMB1 onto my GBA back in the day to play on the go. I did it before leaving the house, played it for the 15 minute car ride, then I had to ether keep the GBA on for the next couple hours in my pocket or turn it off and loose the game. I turned off the GBA to save battery.
I'm kinda shocked I've never heard about these at all, I've been following online discussion for this game for as long as I can remember but this is genuinely the first time I've heard anything about these.
I always wondered those others GBA mini-games since I didn't have the e-Reader cards (except the one that came with the e-Reader) or played the e+ Plus version, finally it was nice to know the answer, so thanks!. Oh and just in case, despite that you need a GBA to play the mini-games, there is actually another way to play it and also helpful for make captures kind easily and is by the Game Boy Player (I played Animal Island in that way 😂). Only downside is that you need a second GameCube or a Wii with backwards compatibility and a TV with 2 video outputs (or an adapter). Also just in case, you forgot the other use of the GBA that is download the design's pattern mini-game at Able Sister which is just... play the mini-game portable and then transfer the design to the game (not quite a big deal but probably was a neat way back then to let anyone to design something on the GBA and let the other player to continue in play the game).
They may not have manually made unique fireworks for every character card - if i were programming that I'd make it automatically generate variations depending on the card
This video was admittedly recorded a bit in advance and pre-scheduled, as I do usually post on Friday… but maybe I’ll experiment with some different upload times for the future if people prefer earlier.
honestly you brought it up mostly as a joke, but i have always been morbidly curious just what all HAPPENS in amiibo Festival under the hood. i played that game when it was new (tl;dr of my thoughts: it's not at all good on an objective level, but honestly? it's still a LITTLE fun with friends and family to tough out a "Bad" party game together... especially when it somehow becomes a very absurd competition anyways. though also, i have always been a fan of games that are so bad, that a weird unintended form of fun seeps in when you try to play them.) and with what i did play, i could NEVER get a proper read on just what all was going on under the hood. that game is basically if a so-bad-its-good jackbox party pack was programmed into a black box. ...also, at least it gave us desert island escape, and i think even Nintendo realized they made something TOO GOOD to consign it to there given it's literally just in welcome amiibo. ;P
It delights me to know that in that matchmaking game, if you weren't aware of the Saharah gender-swap, it would just appear that this camel is a lesbian.
I think it makes sense that they would go through all this effort tbh! Given the original Animal crossing is an N64 port, they probably wanted to add as much value as they could for returning players, giving them a bit more of a real reason to re-buy. Obviously it was the first version of animal crossing released outside of japan so it doesn't apply for most of the world, but it still makes sense.
The mechanics of the Animal Island game are also oddly complex for how simple it seems, I think more so than any of the other minigames mentioned. You have to manage your islander's mood depending on what happens to them, and you can give them food but each islander has different preferences. What items you can get (some of which are exclusive to this game) depend on their happiness, personality, and if they have a golden tool. All the sprites for everything are really cute. Also, I like the music and the fact that it changes tempo or into swing depending on the mood.
Animal Crossing Gamecube is tied for my favorite game of all time. I thought I knew almost everything about the game, but I had no idea about any of these mini games! I really appreciate learning so much about this game I love from your videos, keep up the great content man!

the e-reader minigames remind me of present day animal crossing minigames tbh, like desert island escape. you have to scan in 3 amiibo cards (or use play coins) to build a team. I wonder if that's a coincidence, or if that was an intentional hidden easter egg

I did play that one mini-game in New Leaf that was kind of like Candy Land and ran off the in-game DS. I also played the Animal Island minigame for the GBA, mostly because my older brother and sister always did everything in the town long before I got home from school and got to play. The only scraps left for me was Animal Island, lol.
I wonder how much stuff like this is in the rest of the series. Only thing that comes to mind right now is Desert Island Escape in the New Leaf update (and in that other title that shall not be named...)
What a fun video! :D i'm so excited to learn how vast the GBA connectivity was. They really wanted to make it worth it, and not just a gimmick to get more people to buy a GBA. And thank you for not being overly harsh about amiibo festival
I can’t believe Tiny Chao Garden got an official Animal Crossing spin off before it ever got a mobile game remake! In all seriousness though, the sprite work for the villagers looks really good. The Animal Crossing art style translates amazingly to the GBA, and it makes me wonder why there was never an attempt at a GBA Animal Crossing, something in the vein of Pokémon with its Hidden Bases at the time.
I remember seeing my brother play his gba and I would always beg to use it to connect it to my sisters GameCube since I had heard you could through a school rumor of sorts so it's fun seeing what I missed out on Great video!
@@Hunter-R. Australia is a strange place! I've got a Manual for Wario Ware Twisted from Australia even tho my Cartridge and Box are from the US... But I like the little triangles and the EU Design for the GBA Logo : 3
I can say that I have played Animal Island. I have a GBA and a link cable so I would play several games that used it like Wind Waker, Four Swords, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, and of course, Animal Crossing.
I did spend quite a bit of time playing around with the island resident on the GBA, but I'm not sure I ever knew that two of the NES games were obtainable through it. I would have lost so much time replaying Wario's Woods on the GameCube.
Hey Hunter! I was wondering if you would do a video covering how the letters you write in animal crossing, can effect the villagers response throughout the animal crossing series? I always got back letters saying they don’t understand my letters. What words can they actually read?
It’s a bit interesting, and I’ll touch on it in the future. The short answer for now is that they can’t really read anything, and the game has a very basic check on what constitutes a “real” letter. If you just spam characters like “AAAAAA,” villagers will get mad. But, if I remember correctly, you can space it out like “A. A. A. A” they will accept it as a real letter and be thankful… pretty funny!
youtube premium is actually great. RUclips is basically the only thing i watch and you can get a 4 person family plan for like $20 a month. I listen to long form video essays at my job and it’s nice having no ads and being able to have them downloaded for viewing offline
RUclipsr "im a blisy" has been doing loads of neat work in the pokemon space with the e-reader, creating custom cards/events for the gen 3 games. I wonder if something similar could be pulled off for AC?
I didn't know about the どうぶつの森 e+ (Doubutsu no Mori) exclusive games. That is such a nice little mechanic (also loved the mini games you could play in New Leaf on the DS). I adore the sprites they did for the GBA. Adorable!
animal crossing is my special interest and it makes me so happy seeing that somebody else cares this much about it..... your videos are much appreciated... never stop
It's crazy how much work they put into the sprites for such a small feature that not many people ended up playing, would have loved to have seen a ac gba game or like some people have said utilise the style for wild world as these look so much better than the low res low poly ds models!

I did play that one mini-game in New Leaf that was kind of like Candy Land and ran off the in-game DS. I also played the Animal Island minigame for the GBA, mostly because my older brother and sister always did everything in the town long before I got home from school and got to play. The only scraps left for me was Animal Island, lol.
I wonder how much stuff like this is in the rest of the series.
Only thing that comes to mind right now is Desert Island Escape in the New Leaf update (and in that other title that shall not be named...)
What a fun video! :D i'm so excited to learn how vast the GBA connectivity was. They really wanted to make it worth it, and not just a gimmick to get more people to buy a GBA.
And thank you for not being overly harsh about amiibo festival
I can’t believe Tiny Chao Garden got an official Animal Crossing spin off before it ever got a mobile game remake! In all seriousness though, the sprite work for the villagers looks really good. The Animal Crossing art style translates amazingly to the GBA, and it makes me wonder why there was never an attempt at a GBA Animal Crossing, something in the vein of Pokémon with its Hidden Bases at the time.
Your model of the smartphone during the sponsor segment had a physical home button. I miss that 😭
HONEY WAKE UP THE NEW HUNTER R UPLOAD DROPPED
never knew official sprites of the characters exist for the GBA (my first one was ACNL). I want to make a demake now 🥲
do itttttt
@@Nesdude42 I would need the sprites (or extract them) first, and time too.
I remember seeing my brother play his gba and I would always beg to use it to connect it to my sisters GameCube since I had heard you could through a school rumor of sorts so it's fun seeing what I missed out on Great video!
This channel is so high quality. Keep it up man
Bro got sponsored by RUclips on RUclips
I played the gamecube island on gba game so much! Just having animal crossing anything on my gba was so neat to younger me
I wished the eReader released in Europe -_-
Very strange that they released it in Australia but not in Europe… 🥲
@@Hunter-R. Australia is a strange place!
I've got a Manual for Wario Ware Twisted from Australia even tho my Cartridge and Box are from the US... But I like the little triangles and the EU Design for the GBA Logo : 3
Getting sponsored by youtube itself is crazy. Good for you!!!
The way the GameCube and GBA worked with each other in so many games is cool. Wish more consoles did that more often.
I can say that I have played Animal Island. I have a GBA and a link cable so I would play several games that used it like Wind Waker, Four Swords, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, and of course, Animal Crossing.
interesting, I've never seen a sponsorship for to RUclips premium before. (also I love your channel!!!)
I remember playing Animal Island as a kid! My brother would always play on the gamecube, and I was the one playing on the GBA all the time haha
I did spend quite a bit of time playing around with the island resident on the GBA, but I'm not sure I ever knew that two of the NES games were obtainable through it. I would have lost so much time replaying Wario's Woods on the GameCube.
I didnt even know you COULD be sponsored by youtube on youtube 😔
You got sponsored! Lets freaking go
9:41 Uncle Ben What Happened?
SQUID GAMES❗️❗️❗️
It would be cool if Nintendo remakes the first Animal Crossing game with the modern controls and menus from new horizons
I've actually never player a single Animal Crossing game, and yet I enjoy this channel anyway.
"I've actually never player a single Animal Crossing game" Oh, you should.
knowing me this video could have just been about every release that wasn't the gamecube release
I've never seen RUclips sponsorships that's wild, congratulations on the bag you earned it
omg this is my fav video of your whole catalog… i looove the sprites ….
You didn’t mention the pattern designer that you can download from the Able Sisters?
Hey Hunter! I was wondering if you would do a video covering how the letters you write in animal crossing, can effect the villagers response throughout the animal crossing series? I always got back letters saying they don’t understand my letters. What words can they actually read?
It’s a bit interesting, and I’ll touch on it in the future. The short answer for now is that they can’t really read anything, and the game has a very basic check on what constitutes a “real” letter. If you just spam characters like “AAAAAA,” villagers will get mad. But, if I remember correctly, you can space it out like “A. A. A. A” they will accept it as a real letter and be thankful… pretty funny!
youtube premium is actually great. RUclips is basically the only thing i watch and you can get a 4 person family plan for like $20 a month. I listen to long form video essays at my job and it’s nice having no ads and being able to have them downloaded for viewing offline
RUclipsr "im a blisy" has been doing loads of neat work in the pokemon space with the e-reader, creating custom cards/events for the gen 3 games. I wonder if something similar could be pulled off for AC?
I didn't know about the どうぶつの森 e+ (Doubutsu no Mori) exclusive games. That is such a nice little mechanic (also loved the mini games you could play in New Leaf on the DS). I adore the sprites they did for the GBA. Adorable!
there are 20 personality types in ac gamecube?!? 😭 bring it BACK 👹
animal crossing is my special interest and it makes me so happy seeing that somebody else cares this much about it..... your videos are much appreciated... never stop
I wish they would bring minigames to the next animal crossing.
Animal Crossing was originally released for the Nintendo 64. The GameCube port was the first game from the series to be released internationally.
I’ve spent years thinking I knew everything about Animal Crossing, this video has proven otherwise! Great content 🥰
It's crazy how much work they put into the sprites for such a small feature that not many people ended up playing, would have loved to have seen a ac gba game or like some people have said utilise the style for wild world as these look so much better than the low res low poly ds models!
This is so cool! Maybe cover the Amiibo Card games included in... *the board game*... next? :)
