Fun fact: The characters in the first Animal Crossing can recognize a love letter and reject you. When I was a kid, I thought Olivia was pretty and was borderline obsessed with her, so I sent her such a letter. She rejected me completely, told me to leave her alone, and included a piece of furniture as bargaining and out of pity. It was a golf bag.

When you started talking about your save being corrupted and losing everything you had worked hard for hit me bad. I had wild world for the DS, my grandmother gave it to me for my 10th birthday. She probably bought it because it was for kids. When I first tried it out I did not like it I was more interested in what my father got me called Orcs and Elves. Lol but one rainy afternoon I decided to give Wild World a try and well it's safe to say I fell in love with the game. Every waking moment I had it was to play Animal Crossing. I would sometimes wake up early just to play the game and talk to my villagers. I spent a lot of time playing Animal Crossing. Till one day my dad wanted to try it out because he saw how much I was playing it and well he didn't know but he accidentally deleted my town and made a new one. I was devastated like all those fun times I had were gone, those memories I shared with my villagers, my hard work, my town. Everything it was all gone. I was so sad I could've cried.

You talking about your Animal Crossing nightmares reminded me of one of my video game-related nightmares I used to have. It was the one where me and my dad are sitting in the family van outside a store waiting for mom. All of a sudden the van shifts and begins to sink into the ground, or more accurately, a puddle of Shadow Mario's graffiti, the same way the graffiti made buildings and people sink into the ground in Mario Sunshine. It was terrifying watching the world get replaced by complete darkness right before waking up in a sweat.

I had similar nightmares from Mario Sunshine. One of my earliest video game nightmares took place in Ricco Harbor, where I was fighting the big Blooper boss. The environment would just fall away except for me standing on a small steel platform held up by scaffolding. The map would get flooded with water, the sky texture lost its clouds and just became this aqua color, and the Blooper boss would become giant in size.

It’s because you can’t put too much locked behind amiibo. It’s surprisingly tricky to have amiibo content in games. You can’t have too little, and you can’t have too much. The perfect solution to this would be an amiibo special game. A game where you don’t have to pay to enjoy the game, but to get a character you want. Think Disney Infinity, but not cancelled.

Seeing how much anyone can modify their island now is really the one thing that's got me wanting this game. Really creative people in New Leaf could use the touch screen stuff to draw roads and paths to lay down, but it was still pretty limited and you were at the mercy of RNG where your villagers decided to plop down their houses. Now you can pretty much shape your island in any way you see fit, as far as I can tell anyways. That one thing adds so much personality, it's like your entire town is an extension of what used to be just throwing furniture down in your house. This series is also super wholesome and cute, it's tough to say no to that.

My favorite memory is making my dream house in new leaf. It had a living room (main room), gold room (2F), bathroom/spa (right room), kitchen (left room), nintendo room (back room), and rec room (basement.) I noticed a lot of the items I used are missing. Hope they're patched in soon.

I really like this video and it's not because of Animal Crossing. I've never played any game from the series before. Sometimes watching videos like this from people that don't usually cover their memories is very relaxing to me. Even the most miniscule tid bits that they share I find facinating. You should do something like this once in a while, dude.

7:46 Yeah, everyone who's played AC has done this at least once. I remember my cousin created a save on my game once and came across a villager with a less than polite catchphrase and she stood silent for a few seconds before she commented "Not very nice these villagers, are they". I think she knew they were custom catchphrases and wasn't sure how to react to it. I also remember my sister set one of the villager's catchphrases to greet her by name because she thought catchphrases only applied to set players and now the villager goes around greeting everyone with my sister's name.

This is the first video I'm watching of yours and it was very charming. How personal and informative it was was great and it answered the question I ask when viewing new content creators right away. What kind of person is this creator and what kind of personality do they bring their content. Getting to see something more genuine, let alone covering a series so personal to myself as well was a great way start out for me. Will be looking at your other stuff for sure.

I agree. It just has so much charm and mystique. It always felt like there were hidden secrets around, and you could never know everything. Also, the villagers were really great in that game and always had tasks for you to do, plus there were so many different events. It sucks that it's harder to play now that i'm used to the quality of life improvements from the newer games

While I love all your review stuff, this might be my favourite video of yours! The personal anecdotes are short and sweet, and fit in super well. As someone who has only played 2 Animal Crossing games, it was very cool to take this trip with you and see this thorough retrospective. I also can never get over how expansive you physical collections of everything feels! The fact that you not only have those memory cards, but that you have both regions to show the differences in marketing! Or glimpses of your old cards, or Nintendo Power magazines! Wonderful content James. Thank you so much for sharing!!

God, I remember when I played City Folk/Let’s go to the city, I was donating like 5 new fish, and 2 new fossils. I was SO close to completing the museum, when all of a sudden, my brother walks in and TURNS OFF the Wii. What the fu**. I didn’t get those fossils till a few months later - strangely enough - but it was still so...SO irritating. That has yet to happen in New Horizons, and he’s a lot older, so he ain’t turning it off... right?

7:50 That reminds me of when I was younger as well- my brother and I named our character Asshole. And our town was called Asstown. My dad saw what we had named it, and pretty much said the same thing your dad did. Yep. XD Aside from that, my brother and I weren't very good at the first game, but we did still play it a lot. We probably started a new town every other month. Although I still remember some of the villagers we had in our first town; Scoot, Tangy, Vladimir, and Quetzal. It was the first time we had ever played the game, so we didn't really know what to expect and going into the villagers' houses was very interesting and amusing because Vladimir's was a weird mix of playground toys and construction equipment, and Scoot literally just had some grass flooring and a sprinkler. We were like "what the heck, these animals LIVE like this?!" and we just found it hilarious. We also loved sending mean letters to villagers, but more often than not, they would just say that they didn't understand what we were trying to say, but thanks for the letter anyway. We also loved pissing off Tangy. XD And we were terrified of Booker for some reason. I dunno, just the way he would follow you around the police station was a little unnerving for us. :P Lastly we had a cheat book that we got from one of our school bookfairs, and it had a bunch of codes for rare Nintendo items that we could get from Tom Nook, so we used those to decorate our house and time-traveled quite a bit because we could only redeem one code a day. And that's about it! The only other games in the series I have played are New Leaf and New Horizons, both of which are excellent.
