20 Minutes of Obscure Animal Crossing Details You Probably Missed...

[@jtnoble321]

Yes, you're correct about the bulletin. More birds/owls show up if you have more bulletin messages (i believe they match the amount of messages until they're maxed out)

[@christianzombievampire]

I thought this was common knowledge - although I actually don’t think ive ever seen multiple birds because I check the board every time I see one bird so I only have one new post usually

The Dharma Dolls were in Wild World, City Folk, AND New Leaf though…They were even customizable by Cyrus in New Leaf

[@blu_wolf_]

About the the dolls around 14:05 they actually make an appearance in New Leaf as a rare item you can get from I think Timmy and Tommy, either that or in Welcome Amiibo from Harv's shop

[@Mesruksi]

they’re also in Wild World

[@plantyyy]

and city folk lmao

[@Brawler_Onyx]

I literally sold one today that I bought lmao (new leaf). Also I don’t think it’s that rare, but idk for sure. I got it from super TNT Mart. Also do you still play new leaf? If so, please let me know

[@feroxkyu]

Thank you. I thought i'm going crazy, because i was so Sure that they exist in wild World and New leaf. Now i know i'm not crazy 😅

[@skittycecil9786]

10:35 That’s actually been a thing since City Folk! But it was always the yellow bird, the owl didn’t show up until New Leaf. And yep, they indicate when there are new messages to be seen!

[@ACaFD]

I was not expecting a shoutout! Thank you so much! As for how I record it, I record a whole month in one sitting and clip away the episodes the moment the date changes so you have a full day every single day.

[@Starlight1680]

A “Rover” is someone who spends their time wandering. His name could’ve been “Wander” and it would still get the same point across: he spends his life traveling the world or roving. So the roving theory is more likely to be correct.

[@hannahb9326]

Yes the birds arriving when there is a new bulletin is correct, I can remember it from New Leaf. Additionally, 13:35 is a mistake. Daruma as a furniture item has been available in New Leaf too, so it has not been missing for 2 decades, just thought I'd point that out there.

[@Phoenixwaffles]

I was just about to comment the same thing

[@brennanryland1995]

[@buninorbit]

Isn’t the birds/owls notifying you of a new bulletin common knowledge…? 😭 I think your villagers even mention it to you at some point.

Yeah. I thought it was common knowledge too.

Same! I gues he’s just never played new leaf, or didn’t play it much. He’s made a few errors with new leaf across vids so I’m guessing it’s one of the 2

[@icetypejulia]

I absolutely had a villager tell me this in new leaf and in new horizons more than once

[@SlimeBlueMS]

Obviously it isn't common knowledge if not many people know about it

[@Mesruksi]

I’m pretty sure wild world or city folk outright tells you about the bulletin board birds at one point because I remember finding out about them from there

[@justyourbud]

Yep! City Folk definitely had this and I vividly remember it growing up, though I think it was always only one bird no matter how many new messages there were.

[@frogs_are_cool3085]

Yep! Actually just got Wild World a few days ago (I know, I'm a bit late with that), and one of my villagers told me that the birds on the bulletin board meant you had a new message.

[@Oliver_Flower]

Did anyone else think club LOL was called club 101 when they first played new leaf?😭

[@niicespiice]

it might actuallly be club 101, i'm not sure

[@LyricWooten]

​@@niicespiice it's not, dr shrunk literally says "Club LOL"

[@MillieBoBilly]

About the Dharma doll, I had one in my house in animal Crossing wild world. I always thought it was creepy because when you interact with it, it makes a donk sound and it's pupils would change. But it was definitely present in the English Wild World game for sure

[@vickeycameron]

yep also remember having one in wild world! sure there were 2, a small one and a larger one

[@SheilaDeBonis]

Yes! Had one for a while in both WW and NL. You're supposed to make a wish before closing his eye. It never left the English versions of the games.

[@unusually.crossing]

I have a few more obscure details to share: - Murphy (the green bear cub) is called Eddie in French. If you combine both the English and French names, you get Eddie Murphy, who's a famous actor (let me know if I'm wrong) - Pecan is the only squirrel villager to have a pattern on the belly (discovered this while messing around in Happy Home Paradise) - Audie and Skye the wolves almost have the exact same name in Italian (Lupilia for Audie and Lupilla for Skye).

The town hall upgrade(and ability to relocate) should be added to New Horizons or the next main game

[@RhapsodicSongbird]

The Club 444 name is actually a double meaning. Like you said, Shrunk's JPN name is Shisho, which reading 444 a certain way could be read as "shishiyo", but, it also serves as a joke on how Shrunk isn't a particularly good comedian, as "shishishi" is a way of laughing dryly, as one would do in polite response to a bad joke. So, it's basically just him saying "Hey, this is my club, come here for a laugh!"

[@jettash0720]

Interesting stuff! I always thought Rover's name came from the word roaming/to roam around, and also maybe some inspiration from famous stories about cats accidentally going on long trips?

[@nordern1]

Pretty sure it comes from "To rove", "to move aimlessly". Because he's always on the train, bus, etc.

[@paradisealivegames2403]

Rover used to be a classic name for dogs, Animal Crossing just used a cat instead

[@sourgreendolly7685]

⁠@@paradisealivegames2403That's what I've always assumed. Never knew where the dog name originates though and "to move around aimlessly" can certainly apply to dogs... maybe it's a combination of reasons 🤔

[@MotoDash1100]

It does. Edit: I misread it as "comes from the word" , not "comes from the word roaming". In that case, it does not. But *it does* come from "the word" , if the word you mean is well... "Rover".

[@MotoDash1100]

​@@paradisealivegames2403The team(s) localized it from Strange Cat to Rover. The funny thing is both version of the name maintain just calling the cat a thing (a strange cat is a thing/descriptive, and a rover is a thing/noun). Anyways, the Nintendo of America team was allowed to translate stuff, but we couldn't see the team completely change a character from being a cat to a dog. That's why Rover is still a cat, while yes that is also a classic name for a dog, it's also a thing/title/descriptive of someone much like how "Strange Cat" was.

[@kittycatzuka]

About Club LOL being Club 444 in Japan: One of the ways that characters in Japanese media laugh is "shi-shi-shi" So while Club Death Death Death does sound amazing, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be their way of having a similar name to Club LOL

[@Thelittlecartman-o6n]

Well I think the character rover is more likely to based off of the word roving ad the character always traveled as he never really had an official house or building where he could have lived in and was always met while you’re character was traveling going somewhere to move to a new town but rover stayed on the bus or train you were on forever so I think the name rover could hade a different meaning than the one proposed at around 11:57

[@MotoDash1100]

Lol, definitely. I feel like he has to be making a dry humor joke sorts to get people to comment which boosts videos in the algorithm. _terrible Japanese accent:_ "I starta a rover and make a new town". Like bruh, thinking Rover is named for being Over is a very interesting take as Rover is literally a word and that word 1:1 describes the cat in question.

[@akg054]

10:30 it is true, both in new leaf and new horizons. I've tested it out multiple times and is really a great feature when I need to other stuff and need to get my daily animal crossing in.

[@amberschneider8198]

my favourite non villager character is Sable as i’ve also related to her even as a kid, and my favourite villager character is Apollo as he was my first friend when i was a kid. kind of sad, i know, but i love them both :))

I'm always baffled by the idea that a canvas with some random lines and two colored squares is considered some grrat and famous work of art

[@erin6081]

I’m an art major and I’m baffled too

[@keanuk6171]

That’s because art is subjective

[@peachyogurtsoup7615]

Well abstract art is supposed to challenge the idea of art as a whole. Should only greatly detailed works like the Mona Lisa be considered art? I wish I could show you what I made for my painting class recently for our emotional abstract art unit. One of my pieces is just a thin tip of yellow proceeding to blend into blue flowing down like thick paint and pooling at the bottom. Some people guessed the emotion was calm, or relaxed, or sadness, or tiredness. But nobody got it until I said what it actually was, Disappointment, then everyone was like “That looks just like that emotion!”. Why am I telling you all this even if you’ll never read it? Because art is subjective to the viewer, everyone feels a different way about art because of their own experiences. And abstract art is pure, raw subjectiveness.

[@Scootapuff88]

@peachyogurtsoup7615 I actually did read all of it and I gat that, but that particular piece I can open Paint and perfectly reproduce it in like 2 minutes. I'm not critical of the idea od abstract art as a whole just that particular one.

Yeah that looks like a baby made it

Rip Club LOL. That music STILL gives me goosebumps. It's odd that New Leaf is the most nostalgic game in the series to me. I started New Leaf back in 2017, meanwhile I had been playing Population Growing since like 2006. I guess it's probably just cuz I had more to worry about in 2017, and with New Leaf being an escape it's a lot more cozy? Idk.

[@madeleinetempleton6692]

Hi, great video! In response to the small birds and owls that appear on the board I can confirm that they appeared in New Leaf (or welcome amiibo at least). They appear on the board whenever there's a new message (birds in the day, owls at night) and in the campsite area. The owls like sitting on the roof and the birds hop about the area. Sometimes one of the birds is sat on Harvey's head which is sweet. You can occasionally get him to talk to you about them by clicking the "Heya Harv" dialogue option 🙂

[@GabbityGabby]

I always thought of Rover’s name as a reference perhaps to the “Red Rover Red Rover, send someone on over” game. And the fact that his name is Rover is ironic since it’s usually a dog name and he’s a cat.

[@John-gj7fv]

WHAT !?!?!??! the builtin board birds have been at least since city folk

[@Skipadoo]

city folk was the first game to introduce the bird/owl on the message board! when i was little, before new leaf came out, i thought it was possible to catch the bird in city folk. i tried soooo hard to do it

[@phelpsfilchat]

the bird thing on the sing is true from my experience like can try it in the same day if you see them run close they leave then without interacting leave / reload the area and they will be back but this time interact with the board they will leave and look at all the messages then reload and they won't come back till there is a new message on the board

[@Zayerz]

I'm loving this channel! Definitely worth the subscribe. Reminds me of the days of watching videos about New Leaf when it had just dropped.

[@MotoDash1100]

12:47 Rover has an actual meaning. It's a word, not just a name. " noun 1. a person who spends their time wandering. "they became rovers who departed further and further from civilization" " Google says it best, Merriam-Webster just has the 2nd definition as being a link to "Wanderer" and "Roamer". Likewise, hey now at least you know why NASA calls their stuff the Lunar Rover and Mars Rover.

[@Ellowynforest]

Club 444 could be “shishishi” which is a way some people laugh written in text :)

[@Snailienz]

"Rover" could be interpreted as "person who roves" which means "constantly moving around" as well as a funny play on words, because he's a cat named rover, and its funny.

[@mayas.9247]

13:35 I remember the dolls being In wild world, checked the wiki they are definitely in other games

[@kaylameisner987]

The birds showed new messages on the bulletin board in most of the old games. City folk and wild world at least as far as I can remember.

[@AzaelRulz]

Can we talk about kangaroo villagers' Joeys? Like, they blink, they're alive, and they're obviously in the villager's pouch, but they're never mentioned or interacted with. It's like they don't exist, but they obviously do. I remember being really excited when I first started New Horizons and I saw, I think Sylvia was her name, and the Joey in her pouch cuz I mean come on it's a cute little mama and baby kangaroo. But she never interacted with, or even mentioned the Joey. It blinked along with her, so it's obviously a living thing and not a weird fashion statement, so why does she just not acknowledge they have a baby?

[@testerwulf3357]

It feels less like a baby and like part of them..the baby expresses the same emotions as the mom, they blink together, it’s never mentioned as a baby or separate person from the mom, they look identical to mom, and they never grow up…it’s like a weird form of conjoined twins 😨
