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!
Dude, yeah, a 2D Animal Crossing seems like it'd be so fun. I never thought about the fact that every AC game has been 3D. Modern Nintendo would never make a 2D AC, but it would be a really cool, new way to experience the series!
@@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. As the entire minigames are stored on the cards themselves as dot codes, there isn't even a trace of them in the main game code, which made them a bit tricky to re-discover.

Something I just thought about, I'm surprised no one has made a "Super Tortimer" SMB romhack, even if it is just different sprites. The cherry on top would it being playable in AC GCN.
It is playable in the GameCube version of Animal Crossing. If you talk to Tortimer on April 1st, he gives it to you as a furniture item and you can put it in your home and play it that way like any of the NES titles
Super Tortimer is not an actual game you can play though, since interacting with it just brings up April Fools dialogue… unless you’re pranking us by trying to say you can play it! 😮
@@Hunter-R. I thought I remembered playing it back in middle school, but I guess I was mistaken. Sorry for spreading misinformation. Great video as always!
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.
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
Damn, even in an entire retrospective acknowledging amiibo Festival, Pocket Camp gets no mention. e-Reader content is such a Pandora Box, where you never know what’s going to be hidden behind their low weight.
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
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!
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.
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 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).
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.
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.
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 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.
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...)
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 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.
Dude this is so awesome you're showing all the content you do. I've never seen or heard of these before apart from the island GBA activity and I love the first animal crossing game
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!
I'll have to double check to see how many cards I have again. I don't have a full set, but I'm sure I'm close. I didn't know about the Japan exclusives. They look cool and actually have player input. I always wanted some games like those to be included in the full game for multi player, so when friends visited your town, you could play games together, even if they were simple.
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!
i'm loving these videos! i never really played the original ac, but you're making me very interested in revisiting it. the e-reader has always been one of my favorite game boy accessories ever, so im glad you've researched its ac content! it's always fascinated me, but i never really looked into it.
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
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
when i was a kid i wanted to visit kappns island so bad that i bought the adapter, and i happened to have a GBA sp, so i tried the island game. Also i remember being able to download the NES games from animal crossing and play them on the gameboy even after disconnecting it (ofc it would go away once the console turned off). It was cool.
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
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!
Oh man. Nostalgia for something that I had completely forgotten about. Shout-out to my parents for buying me all this stuff when I was in middle school. Wish I still had any of this stuff
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.

@@MetroAndroid The no name isn’t actually them, it’s a different person with a different channel and profile picture! I think there was some confusion on not being included in this video’s acknowledgements, so they might have thought the no name referred to them.
this solved a 20+ year mystery for me, i never had the e-reader but always imagined what the mini games would be like, i'm glad to see they're... not as exciting as my childhood imagination made them. as a kid i imagined graphics akin to the japanese exclusive minigames. i would have been sooooo disappointed by the e-reader games because the sports fair days were my favourite holidays and i just made believe my player character participated in them anyway 😂
@@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

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
I remember using the gameboy to go to the island, i still have my 20 year old savefile for animal crossing on the gamecube, now backed up and still running on my retroid pocket 4 pro
Nintendo put so much effort into this, but the eReader sorta failed. Whereas with the success of amiibo, they didn’t utilize them enough! Man, I would love to play this and the Pikmin 2 eReader games even if they are just shallow distractions.
Yeah, the Japanese version of Pikmin 2 has a whole line of cards and fairly decent puzzle mini games. Fun fact: because of the eReader cards people know the name of the obscure “Ujadani” creature.
i learned something new! thanks! Their gba sprites are so cute. What an effort to make unique sprites for every villager :0 That rock paper scissors, balance on a log one seems really fun to play irl. Red light Green light is fun too, of course.
4:54 woah!! That looks pretty similar to the Wario Ware Inc. jump rope mini game!! I wonder if this Animal Crossing version was repurposed/reused for the Wario game...I mean I didn't even know about any of these AC mini games, and I bet Nintendo knew that. Nobody would notice it being reused if nobody saw the original. Neat!!
I’ve actually been collecting the mini game e reader cards so that I can play these! I’ve had my e reader since I was a kid but only had the starter pack of cards and didn’t realize just how many animal crossing cards were out there until much later
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?
The more I learn about what games were considered "RARE" during the gamecube era, the more I realize I had a WEIRD selection of games haha. I loved the eReader cards. :D

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.
Dude this is so awesome you're showing all the content you do. I've never seen or heard of these before apart from the island GBA activity and I love the first animal crossing game
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
9:41 Uncle Ben What Happened?
SQUID GAMES❗️❗️❗️
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!
I'll have to double check to see how many cards I have again. I don't have a full set, but I'm sure I'm close. I didn't know about the Japan exclusives. They look cool and actually have player input. I always wanted some games like those to be included in the full game for multi player, so when friends visited your town, you could play games together, even if they were simple.
that Whodunnit one is pretty rough with needing every one of the cards so as to be able to give any answer.
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!
i'm loving these videos! i never really played the original ac, but you're making me very interested in revisiting it.
the e-reader has always been one of my favorite game boy accessories ever, so im glad you've researched its ac content! it's always fascinated me, but i never really looked into it.
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 wish they would bring minigames to the next animal crossing.
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
interesting, I've never seen a sponsorship for to RUclips premium before. (also I love your channel!!!)
I played the gamecube island on gba game so much! Just having animal crossing anything on my gba was so neat to younger me
This channel is so high quality. Keep it up man
when i was a kid i wanted to visit kappns island so bad that i bought the adapter, and i happened to have a GBA sp, so i tried the island game. Also i remember being able to download the NES games from animal crossing and play them on the gameboy even after disconnecting it (ofc it would go away once the console turned off). It was cool.
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
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!
Bro got sponsored by YT itself! Congrats!
Oh man. Nostalgia for something that I had completely forgotten about. Shout-out to my parents for buying me all this stuff when I was in middle school. Wish I still had any of this stuff
Your model of the smartphone during the sponsor segment had a physical home button. I miss that 😭
i'm in NEED of more videos from you, please keep posting!
I've never seen RUclips sponsorships that's wild, congratulations on the bag you earned it
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.
Wait that no name is me! In the next video
This video was a bit pre-recorded, so members at the end are only recognized up until the end of June 2024. I’ll include you and everyone else in the updated list for future videos! Sorry for the slight delay, but thank you for the support!
@@Hunter-R.No problem
@@Hunter-R. The mysterious (no name) finally appears!! Since it's been kind of a running joke, I think it would be fun if you made the (no name) change into Cliffordlonghead mid-credits read, maybe with a little sparkle and sound effect or something. Just an idea ^^
@@MetroAndroid The no name isn’t actually them, it’s a different person with a different channel and profile picture! I think there was some confusion on not being included in this video’s acknowledgements, so they might have thought the no name referred to them.
@@Hunter-R. Ooooh, dang, I thought they just finally decided to add info to their profile. We can still dream for them to reveal themselves one day 🙏
The way the GameCube and GBA worked with each other in so many games is cool. Wish more consoles did that more often.
I love how RUclips sponsored a RUclips video
NEW HUNTER R VIDEO LETS GO!
I loved watching JVGSJeff’s videos on the gameboy island. He recorded it by connecting the link cable to a second GameCube with the gameboy player!
this solved a 20+ year mystery for me, i never had the e-reader but always imagined what the mini games would be like, i'm glad to see they're... not as exciting as my childhood imagination made them. as a kid i imagined graphics akin to the japanese exclusive minigames. i would have been sooooo disappointed by the e-reader games because the sports fair days were my favourite holidays and i just made believe my player character participated in them anyway 😂
I played the GBA island and some of the eReader games. Don't call me out like that unless you can back it up.
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
Wow! This is so cool!
Really surprised to see how much work they put into the GBA functionality. They knew they truly had something special on their hands.
Thank you for showing all of this, Hunter! :)
HONEY WAKE UP THE NEW HUNTER R UPLOAD DROPPED
“Congraturations! You are good Animal Crossing prayer!”
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
I remember using the gameboy to go to the island, i still have my 20 year old savefile for animal crossing on the gamecube, now backed up and still running on my retroid pocket 4 pro
we did IRL rock paper scissors relay in my college fraternity (USA) It was awesome!!!
Nintendo put so much effort into this, but the eReader sorta failed. Whereas with the success of amiibo, they didn’t utilize them enough! Man, I would love to play this and the Pikmin 2 eReader games even if they are just shallow distractions.
excuse me, the pikmin WHAT??
Yeah, the Japanese version of Pikmin 2 has a whole line of cards and fairly decent puzzle mini games. Fun fact: because of the eReader cards people know the name of the obscure “Ujadani” creature.
i learned something new! thanks!
Their gba sprites are so cute. What an effort to make unique sprites for every villager :0
That rock paper scissors, balance on a log one seems really fun to play irl. Red light Green light is fun too, of course.
4:54 woah!! That looks pretty similar to the Wario Ware Inc. jump rope mini game!! I wonder if this Animal Crossing version was repurposed/reused for the Wario game...I mean I didn't even know about any of these AC mini games, and I bet Nintendo knew that. Nobody would notice it being reused if nobody saw the original. Neat!!
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 actually been collecting the mini game e reader cards so that I can play these! I’ve had my e reader since I was a kid but only had the starter pack of cards and didn’t realize just how many animal crossing cards were out there until much later
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?
Aw hell yeah new Hunter R. video on my day off, this is the best
This is so cool! Maybe cover the Amiibo Card games included in... *the board game*... next? :)
You didn’t mention the pattern designer that you can download from the Able Sisters?
The more I learn about what games were considered "RARE" during the gamecube era, the more I realize I had a WEIRD selection of games haha. I loved the eReader cards. :D
