    14:22 I don’t know anything about the development, but if _nuke_ is meant to be Japanese, it’s the participle form of _nukeru_ 抜ける “to escape, to get out”, or can be an abbreviation of _nukegara_ 抜け殻 “empty shell (of a molting insect)”, which seem fitting.

      ​@@bigbangbot-SuperSqank it really varies. We have English and all the common languages in one game and I can't speak for every country but in Australia, you'll often open your australian game case to reveal a UK, German or French disc/cartridge instead of an Aussie one and regardless of what version you get, it defaults to English and asks for your language.
      The PAL localisation is based off the US one as it's already translated to English. Sometimes it's identical and sometimes there's changes made as PAL releases are usually done after the NTSC release. These changes are sometimes bug fixes, translation/spelling errors, censorship often due to some innocent things being slang for highly inappropriate things in the UK (don't think they care about Australia but our inappropriate slang is very similar to UK slang), often things involving WW2 and Germany are highly censored, some names may be changed to reflect the Japanese version or due to censorship and legal issues (Star Fox becoming Lylat Wars is a good example) sometimes we actually get things that were censored in US releases restored in our release.
      So overall while it can vary, a majority of the time it's identical save for the odd censorship or bit of slang that makes no sense here.
      We also get our own versions in Australia sometimes. Ratchet and Clank 3 in Europe is just called that due to censorship, however in Australia we have the original name "Up Your Arsenal".
      Another example is Pokemon Crystal has some changes over here when compared to the UK release and looking at my save when dumping it from my legit cartridges (my brother has had them brand new since 1999 and 2000 and I still have the manuals for them so I know they're not counterfeit), Pokemon Yellow and Emerald (I purchased a few years ago when I lost Sapphire but have opened it up to replace the battery and confirmed it's legit) also have Australian roms but I have no clue if they're any different to the other PAL games as I haven't played them

      I know it’s a case by case basis and it is a tossup whether Australia literally gets the EU version of a game or a unique release (as a separate point). I was mainly curious about Animal Crossing specifically (more specifically the English translation for EU/AUS, not the differences between the two from each other). I know the EU and AUS versions of the game differ a bit.

    • @Chubby_Bub
      @Chubby_Bub 3 месяца назад +86

      Basically the game allows for special e-Reader cards which contain character data to be scanned, and it will read that data (name, textures, house, etc) and put the villager in your town. All the characters new to e+ work this way, you have to have their card. One neat thing is a Japanese magazine actually held a contest to design a villager who would then have an official card distributed for them, Nindori.
      Because the game's just reading villager data, we can take advantage of this feature and, because the format has been figured out, use Cuyler's program to create custom villagers.

    11:00 Not to be a total nerd or anything but usually the actual programming and content changes done in games like Animal Crossing are usually done on the Japan side, as they're the ones that actually made the game and understand it the most. Sometimes the localizers will have to have their own programming skills and implement their own "hacks" to implement localization changes, but most of the time they give guidance and translated scripts back to Kyoto for the programmers to implement. So in this case it's not so much a "reverse localization" as it was them taking advantage of the fact that they spent all this time making a new, updated version of the game for another region, and used that as a basis to create the even more updated e+ game. Before content patches delivered through the internet, regional releases were used to basically get post release updates out there in the world. (For example, see how the PAL version of Melee has balancing adjustments.)

    • @Hunter-R.
      @Hunter-R.  3 месяца назад +63

      There's an interview with a couple of the localizers where they basically confirm this. The work they had to do is still incredibly impressive, especially considering how much inherently Japanese cultural content is featured in Doubutsu no Mori+, but essentially they came up with the items, holidays, etc and then had the Japanese team develop it. They also say they worked directly together to create the summer camping tents at E3 2002, which is interesting because it’s only a few months before the game released!

    I’m surprised you didn’t mention the public works projects in e+! I don’t know if it’s just common knowledge or not, but I was blown away finding out that you can do that long before New Leaf existed! I actually didn’t know that feature was a thing until I played the WIP e+ translation haha

    Those grey palettes are creepy, but also really fitting for a game "frozen in time". Does this mean you could still access shops and events long after they've ended, as long as you don't get your file back?

    The RPG origin is probably why some villagers have some particularly out of place designs, when the rest of them look like ordinary people. Perhaps characters like Resetti were meant to be allies or enemies you fought.

    Too bad no one made a translation hack of the Japanese exclusive e+ version of Animal Forest, I'd love to play that. Being able to create your own custom villagers sounds amazing. Too bad you can't make your own custom furniture, I'd love to make a custom furniture based off the NES Classic Edition, it would be smaller than the actual NES in the game and you'd be able to load all the NES games that you have in your SD Card without the need to convert the ROMs into GCI files. This would be a little easier and faster way to see which NES games can run in AC's built-in emulator and which ones don't.

      There is a partially translated one by Cuyler. The villagers sometimes randomly speak in Japanese but it's entirely playable, and any dialogue you need to actually play the game is translated.

    Quite interesting to know that existed an iQue version and boy, I feel so bad for the poor soul that had to port it, modify it, translate it and localize it but it's China after all...
    Anyway it was quite neat to know the other versions, I have to admit that the Japanese e+ version sounds amazing, it would be nice if have a re-re-release translated version overseas on the Switch but with the free NES games that has the game on it, I doubt it.
    Also despite that the European version was kind a watered down port of the American version, still it has one exclusive feature from all the other versions and is the "Multiple Languages" option, unlike the NTSC one the PAL version has the option to play the game in either on English, Spanish, French, German and Italian depending of what language the GCN is set up.

      I'm pretty sure there was actually an interview with the person who translated it - and it was pretty much just one person who did the entire port, with its thousands of messages, I think...
      An incredible amount of work, like so much of what iQue did, and massively underappreciated by Nintendo and its fans.

    Great video Hunter! Quick question-are you familiar with the Memory Card corruption message that would occur in the original US version of Animal Crossing? I remember seeing it as a kid and KK Slider ominously mentioning "The Man" teling you to format your memory card, and it always freaked me out, but I've never been able to replicate it or find it online. Thanks in advance!

    There is NO way the Resetti Surveillance center actually existed all this time.
    Back in (maybe 1st or 2nd grade?) i got AC New Leaf for my 3ds and a friend told me that you could rebuild that guys place and then visit it when it was night.
    Obviously i tried that, saved all the bells to rebuild the surveillance center, placed down the manhole cover, stood in front of it, pressed A and nothing happened. I was so annoyed but my friend INSISTED that he saw that somewhere.
    Seeing it now, after literally more than a DECADE was so crazy.
