Evolution of Animal Crossing [2001-2023]

[@TheCrc0427]

I remember being at Gamestop right before everything closed down.. for the release of Animal Crossing. The employee was surprised at the size of the line and assumed it was for Doom. It wasn't, it was for Animal Crossing!

It ALSO Came with A Free Dedicated #MemoryCard.

The original name was Animal Forest. Edit: her name is Isabelle because her head is shaped like a bell.

In Japan it's called Dobutsu No Mori (どうぶつの森) which translates to Animal Forest

Animal Crossing is absolutely relaxing. I love how you can get lost in its gameplay

[@floraosc]

I kinda see you everywhere in WebzForevz’s videos 😅 But I agree about this comment!

[@vladimirnicholas]

Well yeah it is how it’s made better on. It’s simply the best for everyone.

[@HoennMaster]

So many great memories playing the original game and New Leaf. Sadly, I got so overwhelmed with all the customization and crafting in New Horizons that I fell out of the game only a few months later, but I still love seeing what people have done with their islands.

[@discussingwhattodo5381]

ME TOO

[@xxopakivitoxx]

I love how you don't need to know anything about games to watch this

[@Flatlife]

It is always my goal to make these videos entertaining and educative for everyone not just the hardcore fans😁

[@nintendosage77]

I've been playing Animal Crossing since its 2002 debut. I put in over 3,000 hours on City Folk (according to my Wii), over 5,000 hours on New Leaf (says my 3DS), and over 10,000 hours on New Horizons (my Switch says that). It's unknown how many hours I put in on the original and Wild World, but I'd estimate them to be in the thousands as well. I have every NA game, including the apps (calculator, clock, plaza), all the Club Nintendo rewards (playing cards, cases, posters), all amiibo (figures and cards), all e-reader cards, all player's guides, and of course all the special edition Animal Crossing systems. Animal Crossing has taken over 20,000 hours of my life, and I don't think I could have had a better way to spend them!

What about the Evolution of Kirby from Nintendo and the Hal Laboratory series? In fact, he celebrated 30 years ago on February!

[@galaxyglow5187]

Pocket Camp was my first Animal Crossing game! My brother told me about it once. I began playing it in November 2021. It is a stress reliever! My second AC game is New Horizons for Switch and my third is City Folk for Wii. I recent got New Leaf for the 3DS. I am hoping to get Wild World for the DS next then the very first AC game for GameCube later on. I never played AC as a kid tbh which is why I’m getting games like the self titled gamecube version, City Folk, and Wild World in 2022. I never heard of the franchise until later on when I was around 20, give or take. I’m 24 and AC is literally the most wholesome franchise ever! EDIT:I just turned 26 April 28th and I still love Animal Crossing!

[@lazerzyro4819]

Yay! Super interesting video as always. Keep up the good work!

[@Thebluewidesky]

Depending on what i saw in your previous videos, specially the cars and devices ones. You deserve more recognition because of the quality content.

I never really enjoyed animal crossing myself even though I am a nintendo fanboy, but I get the appeal for it and happy for its success 👍

I’ve played the first one, NL and the newest one. The main problem is it gets frucking repetitive

[@rapidlyvids]

I have a feeling this entire script was made by AI, Due to multiple errors. 6:18 Toy Day (Christmas), Turkey Day (Thanksgiving), Halloween were all included in the first game. 6:29 Bells and Tom Nook are in every game, you should’ve mentioned that in the section for the first game. 7:27 Isabella? Her name is Isabelle.

One day, animal crossing need to do a somewhat, crossover with doom or at least, have something that is a doom cameo, I also want the people that make animal crossing, to bring back the horned hat, I feel like that has been forgotten for a long time..

[@jeffmargheim7815]

It would be cool if you made a video about the evolution of Kingdom Hearts

[@CarlyCatharsis]

MAJOR Correction: HALLabs Developed: #AnimalForest For SNES Around Same Time As #StarFox2, #KillerInstinct & Even Square's #FinalFantasyVII. But Due To Nintendo Wanting To Discontinue The SNES in Favor Of #ULTRA64 Arcade Engine, They Quietly Shelved These Unfinished Titles. However... It Didn't Stop Developers From Continuing To Work On Them! Eventhough Starfox2 Was Done, The Others Were Retooled To Work with The New Hardware. AnimalForest Was NOW More 3D with An Immersive Story & Included Old NES Games As Unlockables. FF7 Moved To The #PlayStation & KI Became More Fluid & Closer To Arcade!
