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!
@@NoReplyAssetkatie isn’t a home owner she’s one of the special character lol, she’s a child in wild world and city folk, possibly an adult in new leaf idk
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. And of course, they never made it to Europe for obvious reasons.
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.

Underrated part of this video is at the very end where you are thanking your channel members. I love when you gave the acknowledgement they deserve for supporting you.
I find myself pausing during the read-out like that every time. The member in question is simply a blank profile with no name, and they’ve never reached out to put a name in here… so I may be stuck with the verbal pause recognition. 😭
@@fuseegelee Maybe, but at this point I think the little verbal pause has its own charm since they quite literally have nothing written there for me to read. I really don’t mind, it’s just a funny little quirk that’s been a part of the member read-outs for a while now. If multiple people start to pledge anonymously like this to where I have multiple no names, then I’ll just move them all to the end of the list so I wouldn’t have to pause every time. 😆
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

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).

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 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.
@Most-sane-deltarune-fan when the GBA came out, the Internet wasn't big either. What you knew of irl was limited to your own circles and mainstream media. It is true more acceptance is abundant nowadays, but I'd say that's mainly thanks to social media.
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.
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 really like how you can see how animal crossing gets more progressive towards gender norms as new games release, these mini games are super interesting though and I wish we had something like this in the newer ones!
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. 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.
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.
So if you use the walk on water glitch to go to the island you're technically committing theft. Without buying a GBA + link cable At least that's what Nintendo would call it
I’ve learned there are quite a lot of amiibo Festival fans… I definitely don’t think it’s a bad game, it was just disappointing to me as a Wii U owner looking forward to a mainline Animal Crossing on the console. In terms of gameplay… it’s serviceable, but at the same time if I want to play a party board game, I think I’d just play Mario Party. 🤔
@@Hunter-R. Real talk, I'm about to dribble out an essay. And that's really the only reason it failed: people wanted a mainline Animal Crossing and the idea that Mario Party is the only good party board game. (There's also the fact that people didn't want to open their amiibo to use them in 2015, but that's another story) The fact of the matter is, they really couldn't make a mainline Animal Crossing for the Wii U at that point, New Leaf was barely two years old (in the West) and the team was split doing Splatoon as they share the team, which is why Animal Crossing got 'small projects' with amiibo Festival, Happy Home Designer, the Welcome amiibo update for New Leaf, and later on Pocket Camp. It's why I groaned when Splatoon 3 was announced, because it meant New Horizons was going to end, since we really only got New Horizons once Splatoon 2 slowed down. But also on that end, Monopoly isn't the only board game out there, so why should every virtual board game be like Mario Party? I hear people all the time ask why there's so many platformers from Nintendo when Mario is the main one, but the thing is everything in a genre brings something different to the table. I found amiibo Festival better than Mario Party 10 simply because all I need is four amiibo and the gamepad to play, and the game came with two amiibo. Mario Party 10 had the gamepad, but each player needed Wii remotes for the mini-games, and if you wanted to play amiibo party in MP10, you needed amiibo as well. To which if someone had a Bowser amiibo every mini-game would be a Bowser mini-game and it would be entirely lop-sided favoring the Bowser player. I just think the hate for amiibo Festival was misplaced, or rather, it was hated due to hasty feelings from an impatient fanbase, ironic for a series that focuses on a slow relaxing pace to its gameplay.
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.
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!
@@Most-sane-deltarune-fan Exactly, you weren't there in any meaningful way. You don't even start forming long-term memories for four or five years. I'd say you only started being around around 2008 or so.
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.
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 😂
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
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
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 was lucky enough as a kid to have a gba and link cable so i could visit the island, but i had never heard of the other gba minigames until now! i never thought i would still be discovering new things about this game 23 years after its release - thank you for sharing!
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 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.
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!
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

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.
You got sponsored! Lets freaking go
I really like how you can see how animal crossing gets more progressive towards gender norms as new games release, these mini games are super interesting though and I wish we had something like this in the newer ones!
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 🙏
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.
So if you use the walk on water glitch to go to the island you're technically committing theft. Without buying a GBA + link cable
At least that's what Nintendo would call it
Yoo amiibo festival isn't bad, it's cute. Just lame that it was the only AC game on WiiU
I guess I'll be the only amiibo Festival defender.
I’ve learned there are quite a lot of amiibo Festival fans… I definitely don’t think it’s a bad game, it was just disappointing to me as a Wii U owner looking forward to a mainline Animal Crossing on the console. In terms of gameplay… it’s serviceable, but at the same time if I want to play a party board game, I think I’d just play Mario Party. 🤔
@@Hunter-R. Real talk, I'm about to dribble out an essay.
And that's really the only reason it failed: people wanted a mainline Animal Crossing and the idea that Mario Party is the only good party board game. (There's also the fact that people didn't want to open their amiibo to use them in 2015, but that's another story)
The fact of the matter is, they really couldn't make a mainline Animal Crossing for the Wii U at that point, New Leaf was barely two years old (in the West) and the team was split doing Splatoon as they share the team, which is why Animal Crossing got 'small projects' with amiibo Festival, Happy Home Designer, the Welcome amiibo update for New Leaf, and later on Pocket Camp.
It's why I groaned when Splatoon 3 was announced, because it meant New Horizons was going to end, since we really only got New Horizons once Splatoon 2 slowed down.
But also on that end, Monopoly isn't the only board game out there, so why should every virtual board game be like Mario Party? I hear people all the time ask why there's so many platformers from Nintendo when Mario is the main one, but the thing is everything in a genre brings something different to the table.
I found amiibo Festival better than Mario Party 10 simply because all I need is four amiibo and the gamepad to play, and the game came with two amiibo.
Mario Party 10 had the gamepad, but each player needed Wii remotes for the mini-games, and if you wanted to play amiibo party in MP10, you needed amiibo as well. To which if someone had a Bowser amiibo every mini-game would be a Bowser mini-game and it would be entirely lop-sided favoring the Bowser player.
I just think the hate for amiibo Festival was misplaced, or rather, it was hated due to hasty feelings from an impatient fanbase, ironic for a series that focuses on a slow relaxing pace to its gameplay.
@@Aerafuzquick correction! the Splatoon and Animal Crossing teams have separated! the reason there's no ACNH updates is unrelated to Splatoon 3
The way the GameCube and GBA worked with each other in so many games is cool. Wish more consoles did that more often.
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!
3:02 LOVE NEVER FELT SO GOOD BY MICHAEL JACKSON MENTIONED!!
i didn't know people knew that song! one of my all time favorites of his
knowing me this video could have just been about every release that wasn't the gamecube release
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.
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 is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels on youtube. your videos rule, keep up the great work!!

@@Most-sane-deltarune-fan Exactly, you weren't there in any meaningful way. You don't even start forming long-term memories for four or five years. I'd say you only started being around around 2008 or so.
@@BringMayFlowers Ah, you're one year off.
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!!!)
Getting sponsored by youtube itself is crazy. Good for you!!!
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 😂
This is so cool! Maybe cover the Amiibo Card games included in... *the board game*... next? :)
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
the dodge ball minigame is so cute I wanna play ittttt
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
Animal Island is also the easiest way to clone items.
That dodgeball one is straight up racist, they just happen to be unfairly targeting the human kid? Sure.
They don't mean to.
Animal Crossing was originally released for the Nintendo 64. The GameCube port was the first game from the series to be released internationally.
My friend had an e-reader as a kid but never used it for animal crossing…. It should have been me.
Bro got sponsored by YT itself! Congrats!
This channel is so high quality. Keep it up man
I wish they would bring minigames to the next animal crossing.
I've never seen RUclips sponsorships that's wild, congratulations on the bag you earned it
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?
Your model of the smartphone during the sponsor segment had a physical home button. I miss that 😭
9:41 Uncle Ben What Happened?
i was lucky enough as a kid to have a gba and link cable so i could visit the island, but i had never heard of the other gba minigames until now! i never thought i would still be discovering new things about this game 23 years after its release - thank you for sharing!
the way he said amibo festival 💀
accurate
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.
Aw hell yeah new Hunter R. video on my day off, this is the best
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
“Congraturations! You are good Animal Crossing prayer!”
5:54
Fun fact: I share a birthday witu Cube
What
That's awesome!
we did IRL rock paper scissors relay in my college fraternity (USA) It was awesome!!!
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.
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!
E+'s games was such a banger. Wish nintendo kept them in the american relase
Wait, why did he say two spin offs then only listed one?
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
