This was the first time we ever saw Isabelle. She was just a random npc back then. Now she's Smash Bros. fighter #68. I'm so proud of her.

I decided to look back here. Seeing how it looks different to the final game, my worries for New Horizons have been settled a bit.

[@purplegreyandpink]

SAME!

[@owl1821]

the lighting and textures are what im most worried about, and those look pretty similar from here to new leaf :(

[@teddiebearbear]

Haha I'm doing the same thing xD

[@mmoboxs]

@@owl1821 what exactly do you mean with lightning?

[@pastelberru]

Matthäus Wey 3D engines have lights in them you place to simulate atmospheric light. The lighting for the New horizon trailer has this fog over them, causing the world to not have any refraction light (light that bounces off the colors around them) or bright colors, its all a bit washed out. Hoping they change that for the final product and get it looking more like the village in Mario Kart

[@twoteencarat5333]

makes me wonder how new horizons will change from first look to release

[@KoolmacPop]

Same, it's the first AC game I've ever played

[@cookiesontoast9981]

I played Wild World first and love that game to bits, but New Leaf improved upon it in many ways, still prefer Wild World's soundtrack though, and that Nook has a more prominent role in WW too, I like Nook a lot more than Isabelle. The one thing that ruined New Leaf though was that you could easily make boat loads of money really quickly... It kinda made it too easy and ruined the fun.

You can't compare them, New Leaf has all content available, but new horizons will add a lot of content along all its lifespan

[@trollguy4653]

Music, lack of content, and villager dialogue in new horizons was what made people like new leaf better

[@jelly3374]

@@trollguy4653 True. When I started playing Animal Crossing back with population growing, I mostly didn't even know what to do. I just ran around talking to villagers and fishing. Same thing with all the other installations, including NL. With New Horizons, it's just not fun. After 80 hours I already know the dialogues by heart and it's more of a "you're cute you can live here, you're ugly you can't move in here" game than anything else.

[@danielangeles3038]

Well I don't think so considering that there were 2 years since this trailer and the final release date and with new horizons there are only 9 months left so I don't think many things will change but I hope so!

[@kitomichi]

E3 -> New Leaf = 17 months in Japan, 2 years in America and Europe E3 -> New Horizons = 9 months "this could mean that animal crossing new horizons will look wayyyy better in the final game aaahhhh" I actually rhink it won't change THAAT much and to be honest, I already think it's perfect

[@rgkong8783]

Bubblegum_HD yeah I hope the graphics are way better in the final game

[@splat-a-tat6780]

Sadly it probably won’t. While I’m actually okay with New Horizons’s textures and concept, it doesn’t have 2 years to change, unlike New Leaf did

0:46 the opening text box sound from the gcn version. NOSTALGIA

[@foresttemple2393]

I actually like how the trees look. They seemed like they were gonna take a chance and change things up, but the New Leaf trees look like City Folk and so on. I just wish they were taller trees like back in the GameCube version. They raised the height of the characters, but not the trees to match lol

[@SquiddoSquid]

The bed head hair is different in this version! :O

[@chachicore]

Squiddo SquidHead it's the beta....

[@GuyWithThePie]

That's actually an early version of the "Loose and wavy/Laid-back looseness" haircut. Bed hair looks the same as it did in City Folk, so it's safe to assume it also looked the same in this early version despite not being shown.

The first Animal Crossing game I ever played was City Folk when I was about seven and there was just something about it that made me instantly fall in love with it. I would rush home from school to play it everyday until I didn’t. Few more years down the line this game, New Leaf, came out and I was transported back to those days and just HAD to buy it. I managed to get the special AC edition 3DS and was over the moon. Honestly, it feels like it was just yesterday and it’s crazy to think how time has just gone. With New Horizons being released recently I’ve since parted ways with the 3DS and bought the AC edition switch and I just wanted to thank you, Nintendo, for all the happy memories your games have given me over the years. Here’s to many more.

[@Angel.C222]

This was the first game i had on my 3ds, I was 4 when this game came out and was already a fan of wild world, when my dad bought this for me I was in love, I'm still playing every day 8 years later, this is what got me into gaming, I'll never forget animal crossing new leaf.
