20 Minutes of Useless Information about Animal Crossing

The Gyroid face was a punishment for not saving when you're on a train to another town's memory card. You lose all items, Bells and letters in your pockets as well. Your normal face returns when you properly save and quit again. Despite speculation, it's not a glitch, it's fully intended to happen.

Actually... those "unused" emotes are just weird things some npc's do. They were never intended to be used by players, the ones you showed were from a video that explained the uses for each one. The KK sit, the lay that Gulliver/Gullivarr does. These emotes are just internal functions that were only ever intended for npc's!

The monkey in the train got replaced by the dodo which i thought was sad

Rover was definitely supposed to be the new mayor in New Leaf. He found an easy victim in us on the train there.

0:59 this ad is referencing the creation of animal crossing. the creator had to leave home and move closer to nintendo to work, and he felt lonely and sad, moving far from home to a new unfamiliar place, but making new friends, settling in, working… that’s the similarity if anyone was wondering

Actually, the feature where you get more brown if you are out in the sun is included in New Leaf. I remember having online friends who were quite dark skinned because of that. And my character also got darker skin when i played a lot and was outside a lot.

We actually know who hero #5 is… it's Isabelle! She got a hero costume in the Japanese version of Nintendo Badge Arcade. Also, a correction, there are 110 K.K. Slider songs, not 89.

amiibo festival's rating is featured twice in this video which is hilarious. a nice reminder.

tom nook taking timmy and tommy in under his wing is really sweet

10:20 On the Gamecube game to save you had to talk to a Gyroid that was always by your house. If I remember correctly, this happens if you turn off or reset your Gamecube while the game is in the middle of saving. I'm not sure if this was a glitch or if they did this intentionally, considering how the game would scold you for quitting without saving.

I love new leaf but it’s definitely different since I don’t have any friends to play with now. I wonder what it would’ve been like when it was thriving

The reference to aliens in the movie is probably referring to Gulliver being an alien in wild world

About the "Sickle" unused tool in Animal Crossing, I'm guessing that it was to be used for some farming-like mechanic that we never heard of being cut from the game, as that is a tool not only as a weapon (especially with real life ninjas, who would typically use improvised tools for their jobs, which were often some sort farming tools due to a huge number of them being ones from homes that do farm work.), but can also be used to cut things needed to be cut at a farm. Stuff like cutting grass for to feed livestock of a farm. My other theory is that was how you would remove weeds in Animal Crossing, but was removed because it could be seen as a weapon in an otherwisely chill game. The axe already has enough problems to be seen as a weapon. Nintendo doesn't need another for the chill [mostly] peaceful game that is Animal Crossing.

u forgot the bus from city folk, such an underrated/overhated game

12:15 sickles are mainly used as weapons in video games in the modern day and aren't used much irl nowadays as far as i'm aware, but back in older times they were used as tools to harvest crops. this could suggest that the farming system in acnh was a concept animal crossing's devs had been considering for a long time, and it just didn't make it in for a long time for whatever reason.

yeah I'm sad Digby isn't included anymore I liked him a lot! the info that he is the one juding houses for HHA is cool and what I'd expected but they should've done that what they did for others: a weekly guest and/or a space on Harvey's island (with something new) or ever something smaller! like they could've pulled the thing with Lyle in Wild World there he was an insureance salesman and just showed up outside your house to pester you and this (without the pestering) woul'dve been neat, that we can catch Digby in the act of the secret judgement and he'll just be a bit embarrest for it's not a secret anymore

4:01 what block was moved to mave it a 5 star island? ive watched it over and over again and cant find it

The emote thing for New Horizons may not be a set of cut features. I have a theory that the emotes are tied to the animations the various villagers and characters can do, and the emotes that player can use are a specific subset of those animations. The hack just lets the player access all the animations, rather than just the intended subset.

Sickles are just smaller scythes, and are for cutting grass or herbs. I watched my grandfather use em all the time. They are pretty cool. ^^ Maybe something to help with taking down weeds?

It would be cool to see Digby grade the houses you design on the Happy Home Paradise DLC or do something like that
