    My childhood, overall, was pretty horrible. I dealt with a lot of trauma as a little girl. But this game was my safety blanket. It feels like a cosy morning, still tucked up in bed, sunlight peeking through the curtains, and feeling happy for a little while. I’m 20 now. I still love Animal Crossing. Some things never change.

    I still vividly remember Nan moving into my town on my Wild World game and her putting up her house RIGHT NEXT to mine. I was so frustrated because it made it impossible to decorate around my house. With Nan to the right, the shops to the north, the cliff to my left and the sea to my south. Yet after I got over my hostility I came to love Nan and personified her as like the Granny next door. I ended up loving her the most of all my villagers and was devastated after returning to my game years later and finding out she moved. Never could of thought a little character in a game could make me feel so many emotions! Just hearing that theme song brought back so many happy memories :)

    I think that the real power of Animal Crossing is the ability to froze time in a particular moment of your life. If you got engaged in it's routine, making your city thrive and then one day you just don't feel like playing it again, a huge amount of time can pass and when you finally you remember about your village, those funny animals who treated you like genuine digital friends will welcome you with open arms, asking you how are you doing...

    imagine showing up to an apartment and the landlord is like "hey do you have your rent?" and you go "im broke lol, can i just stay here for free?"
    Tom Nook does so much for you and all you do is slander his name because he wants the money from the basically free house he gives you.

    I love the Animal Crossing series. I was introduced to it by my mother, who fell in love with it, even when the game was only on the GameCube.
    After that, I played every game as it came out. My mother, my sister and I would all get so excited when a new game would come out, and we'd play it for days.
    Even though my favorite is City Folk, I still have the strongest memories with New Leaf, playing with my mother and sister, or just messing around.
    New Horizons however, killed my enjoyment of the series. It wasn't Animal Crossing, yet it had features I've wanted since the beginning.
    I was so excited for it, getting every bit of information about it. But the game isn't Animal Crossing.
    They removed the core of Animal Crossing. It's Animal Crossing visually, but they ruined it in so many small ways, and with Animal Crossing, small things are big.
    The crafting system completely destroyed the game! Tools constantly breaking! Only having a reason the play holidays once!
    They removed fan favorite characters! Who remembers Pete? If you woke up early enough you could see him!
    They removed Resetti! They made Rover only appear on a single day of the year! They removed Gracie! The store only upgrades once!
    I don't think I'll be excited about the next Animal Crossing. New Horizons is the best selling game in the series, so I doubt Nintendo will make the next game more like Animal Crossing.

    Nice video dude, gave me real nostalgia for the most important game of my childhood; I loved all the small details you could find out - the rare times Tom Nook and other npcs told you a bit of his backstory or how to get the golden tools. I really have some lovely memories of playing it.
    But don't do my boy Tom Nook that dirty, he may not be perfect but he builds you a house and just waits for you to pay it off with 0% interest rates or anything. You don't even have to pay it off. I wish he would sell me a house lmao

  • @silent_pete
    @silent_pete Год назад +4

    It looks dated and simple now, but this game was so revolutionary when it came out tbh. Absolutely ruled my childhood. The internet and the ability to make friends around the world was still this cool new commodity, so getting to visit a ton of different towns and play with people in them at the same time was so cool to me.
    I spent so much time on a particular Animal Crossing forum in middle school lol, I think I was kind of at the perfect age when ww came out. Making friends, visiting others, finding patterns to theme my town with, 'working' for giveaway/landscape services lmao. I remember turning my town into a camp once, sleeping bag and campfire patterns in a forest of trees I planted, then inviting a bunch of people for a "sleepover" where we mostly just chatted late into the night. The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing, anyone? I'm still close with a handful of people from that forum today.
    New Leaf may be objectively better, but Wild World just had a mix of cozy/otherworldliness I think the newer games lack. You really felt like a stranger to this town in the first couple games... that rainy taxi ride set a great tone. That's probably just nostalgia/childhood talking though lol. Either way, this game will always have a special place in my heart. And Antonio and Walker will always be my homies. ❤

    This video felt like sitting on a rooftop with a friend after a long car drive and talking about life while looking at the stars. It's comforting but makes you feel nostalgic and melancholic at the same time. For a simple life simulation game (at least by today's standards, although I think it has a unique charm that is effective to this day), Wild World meant so much to so many people and continues to bring us all together today as we reminisce about our time playing, our childhood and all look to the future of both the franchise and our own lives. ♡

    Animal Crossing, it has never been part of my childhood. However, it feels like I’ve been playing for years. I know no one, yet I love all of my villagers. Even though I don’t play a lot, I feel like as these were my friends growing up. The only thing I can recognize is the music. As it would come from all the youtube videos I’d watch, all the silly roblox games I’d play. The music is one thing that constantly sticks with me, as it always seems to be everywhere I go. It makes me feel young, yet I’ve never played this franchise ever in my childhood. Animal Crossing truly is something special.

    Me and my sister used to play this a lot with our cousins (we were raised together) through our childhoods and well into our teens. Despite rough patches, I had overall a pretty happy childhood so whenever I am reminded of this game I remember the good times we shared both in the game and out. It was such a charming game, and really mysterious at the time. I remember my cousin and I trying to guess how to unlock the hair salon, exchanging playground rumors between classes with my friends, trying to understand what the info I could find online said with my limited english, finding out the different easter eggs like the UFO. And also times when I hid the DS under my pillow so I could play past my bedtime just to walk around the town at night. To this day the 12 pm music makes me think of sleeping in during the weekends, it's such a good game for me. I love New Leaf and even though it's gameplay is my favorite of the series I cannot sincerely say it is my favorite since I played it when I was going through some really tough times, and New Horizons well... We all know what happened all too well. Wild World will always hold a really special place in my heart that few other games will probably come close too, I can only think of Lost In Blue and Aion coming close to the feeling I get when I revist this game.

    new leaf and city folk…i think i liked city folk the best. characters were still pretty diverse, you could leave and literally go to a whole ‘nother city with shops and a theater and redd and katrina-not to mention the walrus guy who used to come sell little carnival trinkets like bubbles or balloons. if you were lucky enough, you could buy a bunny shaped balloon.
    i loved new leaf, i loved that i could take it anywhere i wanted so i could just feel safe and small again anytime i want. but city folk just had my heart. during second grade and during the summers, i would always play city folk in the comfort of my grandma’s sun room. the cozy enclosure with the foldable couch-bed. i could just leave everything behind and block everything out, and focus on nothing but tinkering with custom designs and befriending my villagers. the soundtrack on city folk was also extraordinary, and it, as you said, put me in that headspace. a gentle, comfortable, safe, small headspace. it felt like home playing that game, and i’m so happy i still have it.

    The story at the beginning is really heartwarming. I have a Similar story that Pokemon fans never seem to like.
    It was the Christmas of 2011, me and my brother's first Christmas back with our parents after a long and complicated situation involving false cps calls and stuff, my brother and I hit dsiXLs, and a ton of games, in the list were Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, my brother took Diamond, and I took Pearl, little did I know. That choice would dictate my whole life afterwards in the best way possible. People never seem to accept that THAT is a huge part of why Pokemon pearl is my favorite game of all time. We'd stay up late on school nights playing in the underground, battling. Or just talking across the hall about what we were up to. I miss those days.

      @@TevansYT there's a feel about growing up that just takes away from life. I miss when I had no responsibility other than making sure I woke up for school and did my homework. I have this stupid illusion in my head that when I finally get the money to move out of my parents' place, I'll move back to my childhood town. But with the way the economy is, and jobs around where I live. I'll be lucky if I ever move out.

      @@emrickazor2610 The economy has been hilariously bad lately. It's tough hearing stuff from parents and older adults how they were able to move out when they were 20's. They still don't understand how much the economy has shifted. The reality for people our age is that if we want to be independent we have to accept having two to three roomates until our mid 20's Best of luck, I just moved out but I had to swallow the pill of having 5 roommates.

    This was the only game my sister and I shared too lmao. Well, that and Nintendogs, but I'm sure you can guess why we also had that game in common. I was too young to really understand that paying off the loans was the only way to really progress in the game, and, as a result, I mainly spent my time galavanting, fishing, enjoying chats with the villagers, never paying off a single loan. That is until I finally visited my sister's town using Nintendo's wireless multiplayer (which back then, even my kid brain could comprehend that this was truly groundbreaking technology), and I was left utterly stumped as to why her Tom Nook store was like a freaking IKEA compared to my town which still had the first tier hut, Nook's Cranny lmao.

I grew up in a bad spot like many in this world, but my games that i was allowed were my comfort. These games are still my comfort, I had an older brother who I played a lot of stuff with but one we played all the time Ultima online. My brother is gone now and I still havent went back yet.

I loved the bit with the drive, and great use of the animal crossing relaxing night music throughout the video. The 1 am music is my absolute favorite. Also, the part when you talked about wild world being a time machine to the 6 year old times when life was easy and things were innocent, legit almost got me to tear up. Okay this is a long comment, but I grew up with this game too, so I can totally relate. Thank you for making this.

    Such a nice video. Your words are so moving, and everything you say combined with the background music pushes this video over the edge in terms of quality. My fondest memories of the series belong to New Leaf. I remember being a stupid kid who didn’t know how to change the clock when I accidentally chose AM instead of PM. Every night I would stay up way too late just to get the chance to actually talk to villagers while they were awake. It made each play session special and something I almost had to earn. Those were good times. Thank you for reminding me of them. Happy holidays. ☺️

    This game was escapism for the struggles of daily life. It was a simple game. I think thats why wild world still holds up. New horizons is ok but its no wild world. In new horizons, the villagers loop more and arent unique and are waaaaaay too nice. The mechanics are waaay too complex now qnd if we ever went back to a wild world game we would find it empty. Thats why we replay wild world. Its nostalgic.

    You never know what your character did before you started playing. _They_ probably chose to buy a house from Nook without having enough bells (like the Gamecube animal crossing's protagonist) and you're just painting Nook in a bad light _because_ it wasn't *you* that made this choice, it was *your character* before you took control of their life from that point onwards. I mean, Nook doesn't even charge interest! If someone like that existed irl there'd be loads of people who'd take advantage of that.
