Animal Crossing - Ultimate Quick Comparisons
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- The ultimate set of Animal Crossing quick comparisons! Updated for version 2.0, combined into one video, sorted into categories, and presented in quick, rapid-fire succession. And yes, there are some new comparisons as well!
The five core, worldwide Animal Crossing games are compared and contrasted here: Animal Crossing (GameCube, 2002), Animal Crossing: Wild World (Nintendo DS, 2005), Animal Crossing: City Folk (Wii, 2008), Animal Crossing: New Leaf (3DS, 2013), and Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Switch, 2020). Release dates listed are based on the American releases, and some may differ in other regions. Spinoffs such as Pocket Camp and Happy Home Designer are not included because they have a limited scope, don't operate the same way, and wouldn't make for fair comparisons in most cases.
Comparisons by category:
0:08 Starting Out
0:36 Villagers
2:46 Town & Shops
3:56 Tools
5:26 Museum & Catches
6:23 Fruit & Flowers
7:26 Features/Miscellaneous
11:06 Events
11:58 Special Characters
17:46 Outro
A couple of minor corrections:
1:30 Villagers can ask to schedule a visit in City Folk, but it's rare.
6:50 There are no roses on GameCube. (Thanks, corinaw9525!)
16:50 Porter can appear in New Horizons if you use an amiibo.

New Horizons info is current as of August 30, 2022...and is unlikely to change (barring an unforeseen future update to the game).
Characters marked "amiibo only" require an amiibo card (or figure) and include appearances at the Roost, Photopia, and in the Happy Home Paradise (HHP) DLC.
Regarding villager counts: Many sites report a total of 399 villagers in New Leaf. However, they are wrongly including Filly and Holden, who only appeared as campers (not villagers) during a Japanese promotion. As for New Horizons, the six amiibo-only villagers are the Sanrio card villagers (Chai, Chelsea, Etoile, Marty, Toby, and Rilla).
About the villager personality types, the original six are jock, lazy, cranky, peppy, normal, and snooty. The two types added in New Leaf are smug and sisterly (aka uchi).
For "currency used," I only included currency that was used in-game. So I left out the Nook Points from the Nintendo Switch Online phone app, since they are not used in-game. And I included Play Coins for New Leaf, because they are used to buy fortune cookies in-game, even though they're not acquired in-game.
Thanks for watching! Never Stop Crossing!

Redd DOES sell Forgeries in Animal Crossing (GameCube) if I recall correctly, I remember distinctly Blathers would reject paintings if he found they were forged. You can't tell, either.
The tools breaking part gave me a sensible chuckle.
Do golden tools break?
GameCube: nah
Wild World: that is stupid!
City Folk: It defeats the purpose!
New Leaf: OF COURSE NOT, New Horizons?
New Horizons: O-O
I remember when everyone held off on doing ax things until they could get the golden ax specifically because it wouldn’t break. Now all golden tools break.
It’s definitely the funniest part of the video. Plus it’s pretty damn accurate let’s not lie.
@@The9thLetterOfTheAlphabet New Horizons got some explaining to do!
I would have like after you broke a certain amount of tools, Cyrus would teach you how to make them unbreakable, and it not like tools can't break, I keep thinking my vaulting pole is going to break, but it never does and it baffles me to such a degree as to why they thought this was okay.
All previous AC games: Golden tools are a deserved reward for completing a very difficult task in the game, and therefore do not break. In some cases, collecting the golden tools includes certain benefits, such as the golden net having a larger catch radius than the regular nets. There is no reason for golden tools to ever break.
New Horizons: haha crafting mechanic go brrr
Well technically the recipes for the golden tools are a deserved reward too since you still have to complete the bug/fish collection, get 5 stars etc
But I do agree that the golden tools do not have a special function in new horizons and we could live without them
@@yournightmare7891 fair enough I guess
I think they do have a LITTLE more durability, but wth is the point if they are not infinite.
@@yournightmare7891 getting 5 stars is easy, literally u can just dump loads of furniture on floor and the bugs and fish stuff isn’t hard either
If anything the golden tools breaking make even less sense in NH than in the others. Like, the early game is designed to craft a lot, but then you depend on it less and less as you keep on playing. The golden tools should be a reward in itself because you have reached late game and you can return to traditional AC mechanics
Not like you really can’t after a while you get most of what you want for your house and buy basically everything else
Especially when you just have a spare 20,000,000 in the bank you’re not going to use for anything really
Love ur user
Plus it's not like unbreakable tools would render the crafting system useless. You can still use DIY tables to make items, food and clothes. It's just so baffling to me that they made golden tools breakable.
I feel this entire video was made with the only purpose of calling out NH's tool durability and I'm all in for it.
@donkey Kong country master agree, as a decoration game it rocks but, as an animal crossing title, it's incredibly sad.
@donkey Kong country master Breaking tools is painful, i love ACNH but i still prefer new leaf or Lesgo to the city because of random events like chip market or idk, and musics in new horizons are annoying unlike the musics in lesgo to the city so i understand why you think that
Why, oh why has Nintendo decided this is a good idea ( looking at YOU BoTW).
@@jamesdinius7769 BOTW is fine tho
Havent played NH tho (this vid just showed up idk why)
Its baffling, its infuriating, its upsetting, its disturbing, its annoying, its awful, horrible+horrendous
Getting rid of the ability for past villagers to remember you after they leave the island is pretty stupid
:(
It's heartbreaking when you see them again somewhere like on an island tour and they just act like they don't remember you
@@arcanine_enjoyer I did that once and saw Apple. I had to kick her off for new villagers and I was heartbroken when I saw her. Not sure if she remembered me or not
I remember in Wild World, villagers could leave your village to join a friend's. So if you visited said friend, said villager *would* remember you
Afair
I know when Phoebe came back she completely forgot me 😭
the decrease in fruit variety from new leaf to new horizons and the absence of perfect fruits makes me so irrationally sad. not like it’s important, but i miss having lemon trees. wonder why they got cut.
I'm guessing the economy. With so many fruit varieties, mystery islands have a far higher chance to have a non-native fruit in abundance, and other sources like friend islands would also make fruits the money making meta.
That said, considering they made DIY cooking a thing I'm still pissed about it.
Lowkey tho
I miss perfect apples. That red glittering apple looked like from a fairytale. Apples were my favourite fruit specifically because of how the perfect fruit looked.
@@bragny profile picture checks out
Lemon whores kept stealing the lemons, so they had to be removed from the game :(
Fun Fact for 7:11
The Lily-of-the-Valley was in every AC game. However, (Prior to New Horizons) it was deemed as a Jacob’s Ladder and not a Lily-of-the-Valley, as a Jacob’s Ladder is the flower’s one of many aliases.
The lily of the valley is so common for me
Probably didn't want kids googling Jacobs ladder.
@@GrandCorsair what's wrong with a jacob's ladder
@@Bob-bs9ok
The movie
The plant
The toy
The exercise
Or the genital piercing?
@@GrandCorsair with the piercing I stand corrected (though only when used as a genital piercing)
FUN FACT: In the GameCube/Original Animal Crossing game, you'll occasionally see a soccer ball, a basketball, or a beachball around town. You can bump into it and kick it around- if you do so near a villager, they can even kick it around with you for a short while!
I personally love the OG game, mostly because I grew up with it, but I love how rude the villagers can be. Not to mention that it feels more socially engaging. The festivals were more interactive imo, plus there was a greater variety of them! As much as I love New Leaf and New Horizons, I feel like taking those previous GameCube aspects and fine-tuning them for the modern games would just absolutely rock.
If you have a bad relationship with a villager and you are in the same space on the map as them outside their house, they'll quickly run inside the house and shut the door, lol.
I really wish somebody could just retool the original game and add a couple quality of life features, it's almost the perfect animal crossing game imo, haha
i feel like in new horizons they felt the rudeness would turn people away, with this new generation flipping the markets, but imo it adds more life to the world
The basis of the og with all of the upgrades from New Leaf would be the perfect game
It's baffling that New Leaf had more fruits than New Horizons, let that sink in.
No perfect fruit either
@@sosigonal i miss perfect fruit ngl
i find it so ridiculous because it's all about tropical island living!!! and then we didn't get tropical fruits!! i was here thinking they'd add them with the cooking update and they didn't. so disappointing
fuck does that sink want this time
@@HollowAshes747 It's comparatively such a small thing but I miss perfect fruit soo much 😭
2:02 Correction with ACNH. You can use their amiibo card to invite the villager who used to live on your island at the Roost. The thing is in order for this to work the villager must move out of your island first and then invite them the next day once they are out of your island and you'll see them at the Roost and they will remember you.
That's a sweet detail.
Ayy
I was about to say that but I had to check if someone else already pointed that out.
True. But they don’t remember you on Nook Mile islands or on friend’s islands :(
@@hotsexyangel That is true with the nook mile island but on a friend's island it depends. If your friend recently got your villager that was moving out "in boxes" and they went to your island to get them then and only then they will remember when you visit your friends island.
I’ve always found it weird that frogs don’t hold umbrellas, but octopus villagers do…
Definitely as well as the alligator villagers
Splatoon logic
I didn’t realize just how many characters NH made amiibo only until watching this. The game’s always felt kind of empty (esp after unlocking terraforming and redoing your island) and I think the lack of characters from previous games is partially why. Great video!!
Yeah, New Horizons is fairly empty compared to New Leaf. The villagers are more mindless and don't really do as much as they did in New Leaf, the Holidays are more underwhelming and there's a lack of region specific smaller holidays, there's an absence of so many characters which made the games good in the first place, etc.
@@voidoflight2420 villares in new leaf are just as braindead as they are in NH, same thing with city folk
wild world and gcn villagers were amazing
The updates keep on coming and last few they added tons of old characters so who knows
@@gamebossje5818 The big updates are pretty much over. Nintendo said as much. They're just repeating and recycling items.
@@voidoflight2420 that sucks, big updates were amazing
New Horizons feels like a shell. It's so focused on your player that it forgets about the npcs.
Exactly. The series has always been about community but NL and NH have really shifted it into a dollhouse/dress up game. Which, I wouldn’t mind if the villagers still had some personality/variance between each other besides aesthetics.
New horizons feels more like a decoration simulator with extra steps than an Animal Crossing game
@@KlutzyNinjaKitty damn don't diss NL like that. It at least felt like a game.
@@SylverScourge - Hey, don’t get me wrong. I LOVED NL! It’s still a great game, it did a lot considering it was on a handheld, I played it the most, and most of my favorite Villagers were introduced in that game.
It just happens to be the early beginnings of some of the design philosophies we have in NH. Mainly the concept of the player having significant say over how the town looks via community projects, gardening, and custom tiles + being able to set ordinances to suit the player’s needs. Compare this to the older games where you didn’t have a lot of influence so you felt more like an actual resident of a pre-established town rather than the lord/lady of the land.
Also, NL was the start of more shallow villagers. I’m on mobile and don’t have the exact title right now, but there’s a great (slightly older) video that specifically gets into the villager mechanics of each game. I’ll see if I can re-find it and paste the title here in another reply.
@@SylverScourge - Found it! It’s called “The Evolution of Villagers in Animal Crossing” by Tama Hero. It’s a bit long, but give it a watch/listen next time you’re doing a craft or gaming. That’s what I do with long videos, lol
It’s so weird! Because the tools break in New Horizons, I keep expecting the wet suit to break😂😂😂
what if your wet suit could break? would you just drown?
And the vaulting pole! Sometimes I'll pre-craft tools so that I'll have a stock for when they break, and often accidentally include vaulting poles in those. I use them a lot because bridges are expensive.
Oh god imagine thet
You swimming out to sea, do some diving, then poof, you cant swim anymore 8(
@@goldegreen if you have access to the terraforming tools, you can make you own bridges by just filling in water with grass. That’s what I do.
but...that's not a tool???
Every other game: Here's your golden net that we care enough to personally hand over
New Horizons: we'll send the recipe in the mail
It’s depressing to see main series characters get demoted to just: amiibo. What might’ve been… 😪
At least amiibo are extremely easy to forge
I miss Blanca and Shrunk, man :/
Nintendo, you've got to fix this in the next Animal Crossing game, or I'm never moving on from New Leaf!
I still feel like New Leaf is superior. I don't know why. Maybe because I wasted so many hours on it 😂
new leaf is just new horizons without terra forming, and in order to put stuff outside you have to pay ridiculous amounts of bells and wait a day each time...
new leaf is worst...
@@sayanskywolf13 The interactions are better, the holidays are more plentiful and your golden tools don't break. I don't think I agree.
@@sayanskywolf13 There are so many reasons why New Leaf is the better Animal Crossing game, but I've gotta get ready for work, so I don't have time to explain. In general, it's a better life sim. New Horizons has its merits but it's less of a life sim and more of a god sim, or like a dollhouse simulator. None of the world around you has any autonomy and that actively worsens the experience.
@@TrueCrouton It depends on what you look for in the games tbh. I'm looking forward to getting a copy of New Horizons because I like decorating in videogames.
New Leaf became unplayable for me after a year.
New Leaf has better music and pacing
can you sleep in a bed?
- yes
- only at weekend
- not possible
- if you grab an apple
- fucking dies
For the next game, they should combine the best aspects of the previous ones
Ninteno's version of Best is a little funny
what makes you think they'd ever do that
Are you hired by nintendo yet???? That is the best idea they could've asked for!!
That's what a sequel is always supposed to be :(
That was called New Leaf
The fact that gyroids were only added in the last major update and there are only 36 of them is a huge disappointment.
Better than, like, 12.
tbf the old gyroids played random notes in rhythm while nh gyroids were manually mapped to every song
Hard disagree, gotta say. I personally find NH gyroids to be the best. I've always find them creepy, ugly, useless, and less subjectively, taking a lot of space if you wanted more than one for the music effects. Now they're cute and much more interacting with the musics.
That said, I do agree that it was wild that they weren't in game from the start, like many other things.
@@AlmalexyaBlue People would complain over a delay, I presume. I presume they presumed.
It's all right!
But a correction:
Can villagers leave your town withouth your permission?:
Animal crossing: yes
Animal crossing Wild World: yes
Animal crossing city folk: yes
Animal crossing new leaf: yes
Animal crossing new horizons: no
I hated it when my fav villagers left without a reason only bc i havent played and talked to them in wild world
@@lizthewolfhog5613 it's happened to me too, my favorite villager has leaved my town because i don't play in wild world...
But in new horizons it can't happen because this problem is been removed.
Basically, villagers don't have free will in NH.
@@maxssafeplace782 it's right! In new horizons I always decide for them, but this is a good these because I can to realize my "perfect island".
I miss when everyone had similar roles. I hate how in the newer games it’s first come first serve and nobody else gets the cool stuff.
What do you mean
@Ultravalex In new horizons and new leaf, the first character to join the game is the mayor or resident representative, and any player on the same console who joins after will notch have access to as much as they do.
I feel like its worse on ACNH because its not like you can just use different save data or use a different cartridge
@@uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh0 nah fr, and it’s not like buying another switch is easy. I got stuck with being a villager only so all i can do is decorate my town 😂
Remember like 5 months before New Horizons released and it was rumored we could have 15 villagers like the first game because the island map was massive? Good times
Things I wish they would bring back include Flea Day (because some of my villagers have furniture I want), violets, carnations, the special island fruits (so much potential for crafting and cooking recipes), unbreakable golden tools (because why can they break? Either buff the drop rate of gold, or male the gold tools unbreakable)
Nintendo is so picky with what they bring back, even though it takes years for them to put out for certain franchises.
It surprised me how much animal crossing gcn holds up in these categories
moment of silence for our fallen favorites reduced to the amiibo only category in new horizons 😔
The lack of Champ in ACNH is a crime. If Champ or Porter never show up again, though, it might've been an actual crime.
porter can be seen using his amiibo! champ sadly can't, though.
The amount of effort put into this video is amazing, thank you Jeff!
I wish they had something like the megaphone in acnh. Because the amount of times where I literally cannot find my villagers is insane. Like in this game it would be the absolute most useful because they could be hiding behind cliffs or furniture.
You know what would be useful, if your villager and the other residents had a device on them at all times that you can get in contact with them at any time...
....like a phone
@@LtheOriginal exactly!
@@LtheOriginalRight? I’d love a texting mechanic with villagers, even if it was just like premade messages you click with 1-3 options.
Wanna hang out
Hey, how are you
And one more
That would be just fine 😢😢
The golden tools are the reasoning why I clicked on this video. Felt like they shouldn't break at all in New Horizons
Its ridiculous how golden tools are so difficult to obtain in ACNH (requiring you to complete great tasks with those tools) yet still require gold (a very rare mineral) and STILL BREAK in ACNH. It's an insult to anyone who played any previous AC game in the series.
it has been SEVERAL years since jvgsjeff has been suggested to me. what a day. Love that this channel never stopped. Stay gold, ponyboy!
Yeah, RUclips recommendations can be inconsistent. But please consider subscribing to any channels that you enjoy. Thanks for the comment! 😊
Wow, I didn't even notice! That explains the great editing and pacing
Love the outsiders reference
2:03 Actually, this is weird, but I had four villagers come back in Wild World and, while they didn't remember the character that I was playing with when they left, they recognized with no problem a character that knew them, but that I wasn't playing with when they'd left.
Like, they had the regular "It's been a year! Wtf have you been?!", even if I had never introduced myself to them again, after their return.
I'm certain the the "friendship" flag had been reset, but they did recognize me.
That might've been because they moved to one of your friends town and then came back months later and they'll act like they never left. It's happened to me before.
2:03 In ACNH your villagers can remember you and see you if you take them to the Happy Home Paradise DLC
They’ll also remember you if you invite them to the Roost using amiibo😊
The GC map layouts always felt more creative, although I wasn't a big fan of some villagers just straight up taking my stuff
Or when they painted the roof of your house an ugly colot
Nintendo be like "Are we jerks for making tools break? No, it's the players that are wrong."
Damn, the Animal Crossing music always make me feel calm and safe. Nice music choice. Also: breakable golden tools are a disgrace
It is weird how much bigger the first game feels it is the most charming one in general
nintendo did somethingnspecial w all their GC releases
Jeff, you’re a legend
Because of the fact golden tools break….. I don’t ever make/use them. What’s the point? It’s just a waste of gold to make them

@@Ellesenzacognome his opinion asked
I think an interesting comparison to see would be how many unique dialogues lines in total for different villager types. New horizon villagers felt less alive and it wasn’t even that I was playing the game everyday for a while, I’ve done that with all the games and the characters always felt fun and refreshing
14:04 kapp’n is truly a versatile vehicle operator, he deserves more credit man has done 4 jobs
Ngl I kinda miss Resetti yelling at me
Every day I miss the mini game island from new leaf, there’s no reason to hang out with friends now without it tbh :/
Former villagers can return. If your friend gets your village and make them leave you can get them back that way and they still remember you because they were on your island. The dialogue will be different too saying something like “I would like to go back to said island!” Or there is a chance they will come back if you auto fill but it’s a small chance.
I get that that they say animal crossing new horizons saved everyone from covid but DEAR GOD did they rush the fuck out of that game as it feels like they put not as much effort as they did into new leaf. Just to name a few:
• Several months just for full game
• They stopped after those updates
• there is still a shit ton of features missing from previous games
• Several VITAL QOL updates that WERE needed were never made, (except fan made)
• And don’t get me started on the music oh dear god
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the game for a bit, finished most things I wanted, blah blah. But with New leaf I played it from beginning to end(when new horizons came out) That game was quality. This wasn’t.
Oh and PS. Before I get called an elistist. This game was my childhood, i grew up with it like it was my true best friend. I played EVERY game. So I have the right to judge a game based on MY experience.
They did 2.0 update way later than several months.
@@thesavageone8685 Yeah but even with the 2.0 update New Leaf is still better than New Horizons.
New Horizons is a great game if you're into decorating but if you're not, there's not much to do. New Leaf had
more characters, more shops, and Tortimer's Island. New Leaf will always be my favorite.
Aside from Nintendo's scummy update progression, I honestly wouldn't call this game much as rushed (just remember it was even delayed), but rather just too experimental with its gameplay. Rather than follow the old formula it tried to bring something new to the table. Some people love it, I personally think it's definitely not my kind of gameplay. There's for sure a lack of features that were present in past games, and in no way I think it's justified, though honestly, I think many of them wouldn't even work in the island setting.
Honestly, how you phrased this reminds me of how I feel whenever people call me out on my negative Pokemon opinions. It's stupid that we even have to consider people calling us elitists for simply not liking the new game and sharing our thoughts.
Agree with the main topic though, New Horizons just felt very... rushed.
If the gameplay of New Horizons is fun but everything else isn't, I honestly recommend a game called Dinkum. It's a game that honestly feels like what New Horizons should have been, along with a lot more new elements in it, like hunting or making vehicles. The map is GIANT, and it truly feels like you're carving your way through an uninhabited archipelago.
I'm still salty that we don't have the ability to design custom pants, shoes, and socks. That was like THE big thing I was hoping NH would introduce, but nope. >_
So uh.......... how do you feel about golden tools breaking? You didn't quite make that clear! 🤣
New Horizons gets a lot of undeserved bashing because of the unfortunate circumstances in the world when it came out, but there really is something to be said about how little it feels like an Animal Crossing game. Like every previous entry was about a town you lived in. Even New Leaf, because you weren't some all-powerful god, you just organized public donations. All the creativity you have in New Horizons is fun, sure, but now it isn't about the town you happen to have moved to, it's about the town that you control nearly everything about.
If that were the only thing different, I think a lot of people would look past that or dismiss it as nitpicking an otherwise fun mechanic. But between the dialogue, the amount of furniture/fruit, the gyroids as a whole, and the music (I wish I knew anything about music theory so I could place why it sounds *different* than every other game in the series), the whole game is like a close approximation of Animal Crossing. Like they knew all the major beats that people liked, without realizing there was a lot more substance beneath the surface.
It feels like all the little weird quirks that made the series feel so distinct got ironed out in favor of a more broad appeal (which is weird considering how approachable it was to begin with).
At 3:40, it says Able Sisters closes at 2am in Gamecube, but in one of my older saves it closed at 11pm and reopened at 1am. Must be rare because all my other saves it's been 7am-2am. Weird.
that IS weird..
Something wrong with your save
9:06 I'd argue that happy home paradise is a playable video game inside of acnh given that it is kind of a successor to happy home designer which was its own game.
I see your point, but it's also a separate purchase (and not a cheap one at that). But yeah, maybe I'll include that if/when I make an updated version of this in the future (which probably won't be until we get another AC game).
Me during the video: What a nice video filled with sensible comparisons and some bits of funny (the Lyle bit was very funny tbh)
Me during the outro: HA! Loud noise funny!
This vid doesn't include one comparison that I personally think is pretty vital for Animal Crossing.
How much furniture is in each game?
The thing that honestly made me quit New Horizons after like a month (one of many things, actually, but maybe the one I remember most) was when I started seeing repeat furniture in the shop like.... every other day? Something close to that. Made even more disturbing by the fact that the shop is so SMALL.
I've wanted to know how the furniture comparison is between NL and NH since it came out, but haven't been able to find any exact numbers. If anyone knows, please tell me, I'm still very curious.
I know people will inevitably diss on ACNH, but I think it's kind of exciting to see how a lot of the game's capacity has expanded over the years, especially with the museum
The jumps from City Folk to New Leaf are crazy! Both, numbers and new stuff
Hey Jeff, this is off-topic but... Thank you! You're the person who inspired me to play the original Animal Crossing in the Gamecube thanks to all of your videos about it. The game feels strange, but in a good way! Thank you so much!
2:05 In New Horizons, if you use an amiibo, you can invite a former villager to the Roost. Their dialogue will acknowledge that they have some memory from living on your island.😊
This is a great comparison. Now I wanna play the AC games again
Yes you should! They are very interesting.
play new leaf, I figured out it's probably the best here after watching the video
The fruits are the most upsetting to me. I can't wrap my head around why tf they removed them again
16:02 Copper was also the morning fitness instructor for the gamecube version
Here's an Idea; in the next game, the player could choose what type of theme they want for they're area (could be island, idk) (like HHP) with different spawn rates for fossils, fish, and bugs. here are my ideas:
Desert (25% fish & bugs, 100% fossils)
Glacier (25% fossils & bugs, 100% fish)
Stonehenge (25% fossils & bugs, 100% bugs)
Beach (50% fossils & bugs, 100% fish)
Jungle (50% fossils & fish, 100% bugs)
Mountain (50%bugs & fish, 100% fossils)
Forest (100% all)
Maybe later into the game, you could set up a second area, you could go to the train station (Idk what it will be, so imma just say that) and they would say that they found some new areas, and you would get to choose, but it would cost about 5 million bells.
They made the Golden tools decorations and Trophy’s now instead of actual Tools.
Animal crossing GameCube: the best and most nostalgic out of them all. The first year with Halloween and Christmas were the best. Getting the NES system was crazy and finding out you could actually play it was awesome
This video really shows how much City Folk removed from Wild World
And also how much Wild World removed from the GameCube game. City Folk was kind of a hybrid, bringing back the basic framework of Wild World and re-adding things from GameCube (like the real holidays, multi-level towns, more villagers, etc.).
@@jvgsjeff Interesting to think about how the series was basically retreading until New Leaf provided somewhat of an evolution.
Always thought CF was just WW with more things, not removed stuff aswell >-
Wish they brought back violets and carnations.. :(
Me too
Yay! The comparisons are back!
When my first golden tool broke I got so upset like why would I make it if it just ended up breaking???? Its a waste of gold!!!!
What else do you use gold for?
@@thesavageone8685 crafts!! Like the astrology items or all gold furniture
@Gab M you like how those look!? I personally hate it. It seems too flashy and like a flex. Like just get something that looks good.
@@thesavageone8685 It looks good for some theme or when you want to decor the exterior of the museum
I think it's sad that a lot of interesting characters are just reduced to amiibo cameos or whatever. Then there's the fact that so many gyroids aren't even in the game.
4:22 just noticed that if you go down the list, the first letter in each word spells out “bullshit”
i really hope animal crossing comes back to the style of new leaf, because new horizons would be great if they weren't so focused on the "island" part of the game. new horizons feels so stale after a while but older games feel like they keep their feeling.
Watching this just makes me baffled that they really made 1 DLC and called it the last update knowing there's way more festures they could have tweaked and added
I've only picked up NH cause I main villager in smash so I wanted to play his own series and later dappled in CF and NL. So what you're telling me is that NH added so much QoL while taking away just as much?
One of the few things I liked more in NH is getting to choose your appearance without having to look at guides if you want something specific.
Shampoodle in City Folk was a nightmare when I was a kid lmao.
I never thought to ask whether frogs hold umbrellas in the rain in each game but thanks for the answer. Really makes you wonder
I think this best describes why I don't like New Horizons. I thought I was just being a hater, but there's still a lot missing after a year of updates
The fact they sold it unfinished and after all the updates it still feels so empty... so glad there's other games I like on the switch since I mainly bought it for animal crossing lmao. I don't mind it as some kind of decorating sim, but if I want to play animal crossing it's not the game I would choose, the vibes are completely different
Unfinished isn't how I'd describe it. I'd describe it as incomplete. If I b-line it to the credits without collecting a single star coin in New Super Mario Bros, I did finish the game, but the game is far far FAR from complete
@@chackbro1
Whatever your reason you know it is missing something, it is an unfinished game, incomplete, not whole. It is missing something important.
Unfinished isn't the word I'd use. Incomplete is a better word.
If you reach the end of Mario Galaxy 2, you've finished the game, but you haven't completed the game until you've beat Grandmaster Galaxy. You're missing a huge chunk of the game despite seeing the credits until you get that final star.
That's how I feel about most Nintendo games nowadays. Finished, but incomplete
My dream animal crossing game would be all the features of new horizons with all the features in new leaf missing in that game combined, with every single villager from every game.
At 13:58 I was so thrown off at the bells, because 1. That was also my town tune at one point and 2. I just finished reolaying FF7 earlier today.
that was my town tune in city folk! FF7 is a fun game, I’ve played it like three times
As much as i love new horizons, in my personal opinion i think that new leaf was and still is the magnum opus of the series. Also wow this reminded me just how bare bones the first game was, looks like city folk was the big turn around for the franchise. Good vid. Instant subscription 💙
Idky but the gyroid part was so funny to me. Just the drastic dip in amount after the previous game added more
Why did they remove the perfect fruit and extra fruit from New Leaf? It was fun. I like New Horizons a lot but it does feel more like "make your own perfect dollhouse of a village" than anything. I feel like my villagers are sort of all generically the same now and are boring to talk to.
I think New Leaf and New Horizons go neck to neck when it comes to replay value, while New Horizons have more content and more improvement than New Leaf, but lack of mini games and shops and buildings and rocket science stuff. They just lend you things and events are at the plaza while shops will be at Harv's Island or randomly pop up in your Island. I also don't see a point of past Villagers coming back to visit when Amiibo cards are a thing and so is Happy Home Paradise.
Agreed. I love new horizons but I would really love to visit my nee leaf town that got super messed up by Jay and play the game a long with NH
If i can find my copy of NL ;.;
@@sawk1875 Jay?
@@CodedHumor The villager. He plopped his house on the worst area possible and by the time i noticed it was too late :c
@@sawk1875 oh noo
i agree on everything but the "new horizons has more content" bit. i could play new leaf for hours a day and not run out of things to do, i could talk to villagers over and over and they'd still have new dialogue, but with new horizons i ran out of things to do within an hour and villager dialogue repeats so much and is uninteresting
new leaf still has way more content than new horizons does in 2022 imo, and i played new horizons to death
Oh an 18 minute long video explaining why new leaf is the best animal crossing? Neat!
I miss the flea markets. I used to make my house look like a shop for the villagers lol.
God I hated how the dressers in the first game only held 3 things. I had like 8 dressers in basement to hold all the special carpets and wallpapers. And just out all the Gracie clothes lined up in there as well. I used my basement for storage since the dressers were so useless. As well as not being able to hold furniture.
Reminder that in ACNH Happy Homes, Tom Nook is regarded as the President of your Island, when he literally makes absolutely no decisions on the happiness or wellbeing of the island's residents.
Tbh I always wondered why frogs didn't just hold a leaf umbrella in the rain or better, just put a lillypad on their head as they walk around.
Sure frogs love the rain irl, but the leaf isn't for that; it's for cameoflage, to hide among the pond lillies or leaves so predators can't see them. But in animal crossing it could be just fashion. Frog Fashion.
Drippit if you will. I'll let myself out.
City Folk not having villager pictures is news to me, really strange that they were added in Wild World then went missing right after
Yeah, it released right before the holiday shopping season in 2008, so I wonder if they rushed it to make the release date.
happy to see tortimer enjoying his retirement tbh
also the more i watch the more annoyed i get at people who are like BaCk In My DaY yOu CoUlDn'T eV- shut up yall got so much more stuff for FREE BRUH
New Horizons had a lot of good ideas, ones that should be kept around for future games, but it was held back by some bad ones. Like, next game should keep terraforming, outside decorations, and easily accessible character customization, among other things.
They need to remake the first game already. It's the best, but it just needs a few of the modern features added.
All I'm saying is that acnl is the best animal crossing game. City folk and the og one are close runner ups
despite some missing things in all ac's , we love 'em all ❤
The 2AM closing time of Able sisters hahaha why would they need to be open that late
I think it's mainly because you had to be in their shop to design a pattern (unless you downloaded the pattern maker tool to a Game Boy Advance).
@@jvgsjeff ohhh, thanks jeff! you’re awesome!
They need to make an animal crossing that takes the best of all these titles. The customization of NH is great, but it takes away a lot of the community feel the old games used to have
2:04 In new horizons if you invite a villager to the roost via amiibo they remember you
At least Franklin isn't the main course anymore. LOL poor guy
So, there's not much point putting bells in your savings in New Horizons?
The music in this video is so nostalgic, by the way!
But what if your a millionaire? And they'll just take up space on your floor.
@@theaboveaveragefangirl I meant in terms of savings 😅 Storing them is literally the only purpose now
@Sealbay They said 0.05%
@@thesavageone8685 That isn’t very good
@@Seallbay It was originally 0.5% when New Horizons launched, but Nintendo felt people were "cheating" and "abusing" the system too much and reduced it to 0.05% in the April 2020 update.
Other AC games: 6 types is reasonable
ACNL: fruits go brrr
I don't know why, but I kinda don't like how obvious KK's performances are. When I played Animal Crossing Wild World, it seemed like a little secret, but now it's so easy to get music.
