people actually think that! Okay but imma be honest when I was new I thought new leaf was the first game then pocket camp then NH LOL

[@rylee_dads_bestie69]

When I first started playing animal crossing, it was mostly because of my sister (I got my switch and then the game in august so she had the game for a few months by then). I don’t think she ever played any of the games either. I’m the kind of person to watch others play a game (or watch videos talking about a game) and then want to buy it, so I do. I remember after I got the game, I watched a lot of videos from animal crossing content creators and through that I knew about the other games. Just to let you know, I’ve never really gotten into video games (I have three sisters and only one of them plays video games and when I was younger all that she really played was COD on the Xbox). I had a 3Ds but besides that, nothing. I’m glad to be apart of this community rather now then not at all

[@youtubewontletme]

This can also be a way to see how New Horizons has been the biggest AC boom. It made a looot of people that didnt even know the saga play it. The lockdown was a blessing for the thriving of the game, and these people, if they didnt have to stay at home for so long, may never have given the game a chance. Still, that explains the beginning of the sales. Them being sold a lot after a while means that the game is actually good for these newcomers and for old players. And with the 2.0 update, the game is starting to feel more complete. As a funny thing, now its not just "isnt it the first game?" but with the new update a lot of people think the new stuff is totally new, when a lot of things like the stretching activity or even some of the "new" villagers come from previous games. But the important thing is, to enjoy the game, newbies and oldies

[@Jonathan-io2qk]

In wild world the whole map is loaded at the same time so there's no screens moving between sections of the map. This was a huge tech step up from the gameube, I remember it was one if the selling points. We often take for granted how much loading screens have been improved from.

[@gaymerjerry]

now you play open world games where entire country regions are 1 map with no loading zones its insane

[@ichimarutetsu]

@@gaymerjerry EverQuest and it's zone load screen though. Those were something else xD

"Nintendo said it'll be supported for 3 or more years, and we're only 1 year in." That didn't age well.

[@ratzukezero5311]

yeah but they didn’t tell that they were gonna update the game with big updates all the time only few more in like glitches and maintenance and probably small stuff since the team works in splatoon 3 so they are busy with tgat

[@user-10021]

Well, the game made it to the estimated 3-4 years. After the big update announcement it was clear they wouldn’t do anything but bugfixes anymore. So Officially seen its dead now, and a lot of people stopped playing because corona laws are long gone.

[@USMarshmallow]

Wild World helped me through a lot of rough times in my early teen years, same for City Folk for the latter. I had lost my grandparents in 2003, and had no support system (or many friends). Those two games helped me deal with all of that through high school and college. New Leaf helped me with the isolation and reverse culture shock I felt after coming back from three years abroad in Japan. And now, New Horizons has helped me connect with my friends in real life during quarantine, and has helped me meet new people through online communities. I'm so grateful for these games, and the developers who made them. They've done so much to help me, and I'll be eternally thankful for that.

Have played every single game every single version. Own a copy of all of them. Obsession peaked. Btw dobutsu no Mori is available thru emulators. I read about the creator. He had a difficult time moving away from home to work for this company and missed his friends. He had to pitch an idea of some sort and came up with the idea of being in the country where he missed his family, and making friends, as he had none in the city. So this slow paced friendly life style is intentional and came from the mind of someone who wanted a home and to make friends. I'll always find that so sweet.

This is an absolute nostalgia bomb for me. I played ACPG when I was a freshman in high school, living in a small, rural Texas town, with nothing to do and few friends. I spent so many hours awake at night, fishing at the shoreline, cursing sea bass. Billy was always my best friend, and Admiral always busted my chops. Same with Fang, but I still loved him. Hadn't played any other version until ACNH, and now I'm close to 650 hours in, with no end in sight. I miss certain things about ACPG, like dodging emotional neighbors, so they couldn't yell at you. But I love that I feel like my villagers are my friends, even though they're just 1s and 0s. I cried last year, when Louie met me outside my door, to take me to my surprise birthday party...I'm 33, for chrissakes, but this series makes you feel something, at least it does for me...

Pocket Camp holds a place in my heart, i was on vacation and i actually lost my 3ds charger somewhere in the hotel and i was sad because i wasn't able to play new leaf for the rest of vacation.

Animal Crossing has been in an out of my life over the past 20 years. I played the original Gamecube release for a while, but didn't play any of the games between Gamecube and New Leaf on the 3DS. After 4 years away from my town, I booted up New Leaf because it was early 2020 and I couldn't get a Switch to play AC:NH. Playing New Leaf was so familiar and only got better when I discovered the Welcome Amiibo update. WOW did that bring new life to New Leaf.

I had no idea AC had a Mario Party type game. I’d take a new one of those for sure. I feel like a well made spinoff like that would be a good choice right now with the popularity ACNH has gained

[@SaltySeaStella]

I wouldn't call it like Mario Party as a big part of that is getting higher scores by playing mini games. This game lacks that, sure there's like.. a couple mini games in the menu but it's not incorporated into the board game aspect. It's more like a virtual board game which is fine as a spinoff.

I appreciate the series so much. I hope they blow our minds with new updates for New Horizons.

[@StrawbunnySystem]

You at the beginning: who knows, maybe there’ll be an Animal Crossing game you’ve never even hear of before. Me: LOL I doubt it but ok buddy Me when the iQue came up: 🙊🙈🙉

[@MayorMori]

lol 😁

I remember seeing the ad for the first game on toonami back in the day. They did a parody of The Real World for the commercial and it did not grab my attention at all. It wasn't until later that summer when I rented it from the video store out of boredom that I finally gave it a shot. I'm glad I did, I almost missed out on this amazing game series.

I'm sure whenever New Horizons has finally gotten all the updates in a good 2-3 years it might become my favorite, but for now New Leaf reigns supreme lol

[@star7communicator]

This is a franchise with memories attached that can instantly take me back in time.

Thanks for all your hard working it putting this video together. It was super fun and interesting!

[@heidih.2465]

Thank you for a great video! It’s the most extensive video on the history of Animal Crossing I have ever seen! ❤️

[@SteelJoe2011]

Happy 20 years to Animal Crossing! I've played just about all the mainline titles, but I've never made more progress than in New Horizons. Only being the second time I ever got a fully upgraded house since way back in Wild World when it was more new.

[@mizusenshi8172]

As someone who came back to the series with New Horizons after having only played the GameCube game, this overview is very helpful! I'm considering going back and checking out New Leaf probably soon. I've also been playing Happy Home Designer (which I got digitally with a 30% off discount coupon obtained from the My Nintendo store) and really like it (I like interior design). I did have Pocket Camp briefly too (basically to get the special Pocket Camp items for New Horizons).

I started with the original, and I didnt play another until new leaf. Then I played acnh. New leaf is probably the best one gameplay wise. The original is the best for villagers/music/ charm, and acnh has the most content that is locked behind lots of tedium imo :P

[@sunshinecrystal2001]

I'm the same age as animal crossing and only just started playing new Horizons in 2020 XD

[@caitlinkinsey2869]

I started on the gamecube as a little kid, moved on to Wild World, then went to New Leaf, and here I am playing ACNH as a married woman. I miss Copper and Booker, I miss Resetti and his brother Don, Rover the cat, and I miss Pete the mailman. I even bought Gaston the rabbit's amiibo to get him on my island because he was one of the first villagers I had back on the gamecube, and I'll never let him go! He's my bestie on my island!

[@kwistun]

this was so well done! thanks for making it and all your other videos :)

[@KittenFables]

Man I learned a ton of stuff I didn't know about the older Animal Crossing games :o I used to steal my little brother's Gamecube when he went to bed so I could play AC on my own memory card haha, we've come so far :') I think New Horizons is definitely my favourite game so far
