The BAD Animal Crossing Games..? - Jakstalgia

[@Lucifronz]

4:18 There's something unrealistically hilarious about cute Animal Crossing characters throwing a hissy fit and cursing at their surroundings.

[@nick6253]

I died laughing when I saw that, totally wasn't expecting it

[@dantpointy436]

The Switch Animal Crossing should give players the option of joining the HHD. Not only would you be designing homes for your villagers,but it's also a nice way to incorporate a daily job in AC.

[@Lucifronz]

That would not be bad. It would be nice to have an actual job option in Animal Crossing, akin to our original part-time job with Tom Nook back in the day, and it would definitely be fun to decorate every home in town besides just your own. EDIT: I just want to apologize for thinking of this long after you had already mentioned it, forgetting all about this comment and thinking it was my own idea. Though I will not apologize for advocating for it, because it's a cool idea and I want it.

[@alimery07]

Nintendo be like: Yeah! No

[@TheRemixGrave]

Boy do I have news for you

[@ShyGuyXXL]

For me personally, Happy Home Designer doesn't NEED to have a "point" or a fail state. I find designing homes inherently fun. Like, that's why I play the game. Because I can do whatever I want. If the villager was yelling at me because I did something unorthodox with his home, it wouldn't be fun anymore.

[@9-VoltGaming]

4:16 I just love that you choose my favourite villager, Mira, to say this, fits her really well

[@Lucifronz]

11:54 Buying a whole game just for amiibo? Pssh... *Quietly closes my shopping tab for cheap copies of Amiibo Festival.*

[@Prauwlet213]

i found amiibo festival for 5 pounds, sealed, with 2 amiibo, the cards. and it was 3rd hand.

[@teamstid9544]

I actually loved happy home designer

[@9-VoltGaming]

I dont know if you know this, but you can scan amiibo cards instead of the figure to roll different dices, but the card rolls dont give happy points, knowing this makes the game much better and you understand why you gain happy points for rolling the dice

[@CrinFelks]

1:15 *Why does Resitti Still Scare me*

[@princkleminckle1159]

I'm a huge fan of Happy Home Designer and I always played it like, all the time There's something appealing and relaxing when designing homes for the villagers, especially when given a theme and all you have to do is to use your creativity

[@kelly_seastar]

If you own Happy Home Designer, you can unlock content in New Leaf. Just open New Leaf, select "link HHD data" and follow Isabelle's instructions. Then go to the catalog at the Nookling store. You'll be able to order new stuff.

[@JellaFan]

5:17-5:26 SO RELATABLE🤣

[@mintstarmari]

You know how Amiibo festival would have avoided all that flak? 1-Ensure there’s already a main series Animal Crossing game on the console. 2-Make the use of Amiibo optional rather than forcing it. 3-Add a whole variety of Minigames to be played at the end of each turn just like in Mario Party. 4-Add more locations for the board game. 5-(Optional) A story mode.

[@Prauwlet213]

One of these was clearly gex.

[@Grapez7Two]

Not that many people dislike happy home designer. It’s pretty fun. Most people said it was hit or miss. Amiibo Festival people didn’t like because it wasn’t what they were expecting and it feels like a Mario party rip off. If amiibos weren’t required and we could play the minigames in the party mode, it would be pretty fun. We also got Animal Crossing Plaza on Wii U. In this spinoff, villagers and special characters will gather around the town tree as your Mii wanders around. You can mark different characters as your favorite and post things about the games and characters on Miiverse.

[@mrmaniac3]

I was really inspired by HHD. I got it literally yesterday and the gameplay would be really great as part of a future main title game. Designing the facilities in the town center was really fun.

[@cloudkitsune17]

You only need one amiibo to play Festival. Once you scan one amiibo, you can select multiple default villager characters to use for everyone else to be. Its really not that bad. I actually really like amiibo Festival, as its a much more relaxing party game that I've enjoyed with family. The bonus with having amiibos, though, is unlocking outfits. And the mini games are nice, too. (Also, the quiz show with the pictures makes more sense if you're a hardcore Animal Crossing New Leaf fan who had to really tell the fake vs real art for the museum all the damned time.)

[@Kirbishii]

Isabelle got her name bc she IS A BELL. I was OBSESSED with happy home designer. It was pretty good for me, until it just washed away for me This is Jak's chance to make a video with Bob and have a reason to

[@tomapple64]

Her Japanese name Shizue means Quiet branch which is a reference to the fact you moved into a quiet forest town and is also a pun on the type of dog she is a Shih Tzu 😊

[@Kairos_Akuma]

HHD in New Horizons would be epic. Like that your neighbours could ask you to redesign for them with high friendship HHD wasn't bad. It's was solid for what it wanted to be.

[@doraeguyakaneddie6586]

*You cant make a video on something that doesnt exists*

[@dragonwithak]

Late to the party but do you recall a little game called *amiibo festival*

[@gracenchivalry8179]

BWAHAHA

[@michaelr3077]

They sell amiibo festival for $2 at gamestop. lol

[@Jakstalgia]

Oof, if only I would have known that before making this video. I got it for $10 on Amazon.

[@BiltmoreGhost]

I didn't mind either of them. They kept me entertained when I was having a rough time in my life, so for me, they were worth it. They are simply a 5 out of 10. Not great, but not terrible.

[@tasmto]

ANIMAL CROSSING USED TO HAVE BAD WORDS!?!?!!!!🤯 I am shooketh

[@Heldjunior]

I feel like Amiibo Festival would´ve been more positively received, if it were for three changes: The Pricing (Might as well make it an eShop game for 10-15 bucks since it requires Amiibo Support), The Amiibo support not being forced. And the third part, and I feel like this is extremely important: The way it got announced. A few days before E3, the internet went wild, because Nintendo of Italy had updated their homepage, with a picture of Animal Crossing Amiibo. Everybody expected an actual game, the hype was extremely big, I was part of it, so I know how devastated everyone was when Amiibo Festival was being announced. But thinking about it now, the game´s not half bad. I like to throw it on and play with friends whenever we want something calm to play. Also on the note of the pricing: Chuggaaconroy did mention, that one of the Nintendo Employees at E3 said that the game would be for free, since it´s so Amiibo heavy.

[@yshrivera]

I love Sims and AC so much so HHD was such a treat. I took designing houses seriously so I hope Nintendo can add this feature in New Horizon coz Diana has a sea bass from her former owner and I need to do her a favor.

[@03bgood]

Anyone who compares Happy Home Designer or Pocket Camp to amiibo Festival, deserve to be yelled at by Mr. Resetti! Those two spin offs are at least playable, compared to aF!

[@megalines8888]

"i'm not paying for this shit..." LMFAO i would love that. animal crossing: GONE WILD

[@pippo17173]

While the games are not that good, *especially festival party,* they need to bring these back for the switch. Serously having a party in certain festivals and getting hired to fix up a home. Perfect for a main animal crossing game.

[@MystDawg]

Wow, a video on the whole series? How ambitious

[@mrmaniac3]

Oh okay well gosh gee fuck

[@ButteredBreadSlice]

I thought there was only one bad animal crossing game.

[@tarponpet]

Happy Home Desginer is great!

[@crustyboyjosh2947]

I picked up a unopened copy of amiibo festival with the amiibo for £5 at a charity shop lmao

[@gracenchivalry8179]

They could make something like this for the switch but less limiting!

[@connorsturgeon8863]

amiibo Festival is like that one friend who gives you a soft pretzel then immediately shoots you in the face and laughs at your funeral. ...People can relate to that, right?

[@Jakstalgia]

This comment should be on the back of the game's box.

[@dreamlanderjoel8162]

Despite not having as much depth as a traditional Animal Crossing game, I personally found Happy Home Designer to be quite an enjoyable game. Even though the game gives you the freedom to pretty much do whatever you want with the animal's houses, I always preferred to stick to the theme that had been requested. Even when the animal's request was "I'll leave it up to you!" I'd still try to design the house with the character in mind. Because of this playstyle, my only gripe with the game was the fact that you couldn't design your own personnel house. Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival on the other hand, while it had some good ideas it was still mediocre overall. Desert Island Escape was fun and I'm glad it was given a second chance in New Leaf's Welcome Amiibo update, but that also destroyed what little value Amiibo Festival had.

[@prisonmike4749]

I personally think Animal Crossing would be better if it wasn't in real time

[@Jakstalgia]

Honestly, I kind of agree with you. I'm usually only able to play Animal Crossing late at night now after work, and at that point all of the shops in game are already closed. They did kind of fix this with the ordinances in New Leaf, but still would be nice to be able to choose how long each day lasts in your town.

[@mrmaniac3]

I agree. It's a difficult subject though, how do you handle it without having it in real-time exactly? What would the day be like? I've also never been fond of Stardew Valley's really short days. They go by so quickly.

[@tomapple64]

Happy Home Designer I enjoyed, I loved designing houses. The Wii U game I haven’t played... even though I own it 😂

[@Ryocniel]

I'm guessing you bought Amiibo festival for the Isabelle Amiibo

[@tomapple64]

DEAD_ M3ME yes and the fact it was only 5 dollars on clearance 😂

[@strekorodriguez9619]

FIVE DOLLARS 😂😂

Ah yes HHD was the shit. I would spend HOURS working on everyone’s houses! I basically let my imagination let wild!

Jaaaaaack! Yaaaaay! You just made me wanna play Animal Crossing again and start a fresh town! (I only have new leaf and i'm kinda scared to use my wild world DS game because i fear of it crashing :|) But... I would have to delete my current town, i don't wanna lose all my friends and designs and furniture and clothing... and my full museum collection i've been so proud of :( and my beloved gyroid collection!!! omg what do i do. Jaaaack :(((

[@alphadrxgon9272]

*buy a new cartridge*

[@Jakstalgia]

I had this EXACT same problem when I started playing New Leaf again recently. But, in the end I decided to just cleanup my existing town and continue playing. I could never bring myself to demolish my town with all of my villagers in it ;w; The only way I know of that lets you keep your old town and start fresh is by buying a 2nd cartridge to play on. Your town is saved on the cartridge so if you want to have two towns, you have to have two cartridges. :(

[@madgadgetss]

@@Jakstalgia Aah, kinda like tomodachi life :'v i think cleaning up my town and maybe sorting the trees to different places and rearranging my house is gonna be be a good idea indeed! Thank u, Jack!!

you can play Wild World,City Folk and New Leaf on the wii u rn just saying

You never tried the whole crazy reds thing? That's where the painting stuff came from.

Yeah, I just bought Amiibo Festival for the 2 ammibos and cause I wanted the full WiiU collection. I might try it for an hour but I dont care about it at all.

[@xxtjxx6995]

How the hell do you get the mini games in new leaf? I knew none of this even after getting the update a few years ago Edit: Just so you guys know I now have the 3ds in Acnl and I’m kinda addicted to acnl puzzle league 😂 Worth it

You buy the consoles in new leaf, e.g. 3ds

hey I would probably play these games anything that I don't have to make human contact I will play

[@PressPlaytoJayson]

I never liked the Animal Crossing games, but HHD was always the one that got me interested... Not enough to buy the game, but it was the most excitement I ever got from the series, haha. That survival mode in AF was cool as well, but again, not enough interest to buy that or New Leaf.

[@Jakstalgia]

Have you tried an Animal Crossing game in the past, or are you just not interested at all in the series? I definitely recommend at least giving them a try. I never thought the series would be my cup of tea either, but now I'm hooked.

[@PressPlaytoJayson]

@@Jakstalgia I just don't like sims in general, given my experience with 'em. I haven't tried an Animal Crossing game, maybe the new one on Switch will get me, but it's because of the genre itself that keeps me away from it. Also the fanbase kind of discouraged me from the series, with specific fans actively bashing me for not getting into it, so that doesn't help either. ^^;

[@juliannocartagena2007]

How can you get the Villagers in amiibo festival?

Hi jack

[@Jakstalgia]

Hi

[@Torinna_]

City Folk is the only bad game. The spin offs weren’t even that bad just kind of boring and even with spin offs you have to come to realize they are spin offs and won’t have as much to live up to. Happy Home Designer was really cool but it was short and lacked content and Amiibo Festival was just a bit barebones and 80% of the hate is just because true Animal Crossing fans hate it so everyone jumped on the band wagon. But City Folk is a “REAL” Animal Crossing game. It was literally Wild World on the Wii. It had better graphics, and that was it. It barely added anything and the things it did were just plain GARBAGE. The City was boring and just an over hyped shopping area, it added events but they are just not really interesting, plus the controls are actual aids, just try writing a letter to someone. And worst of all FUCKING GRASS DETERIORATION! Why is this an addition? I spent at least 2-3 years consistently playing the original, Wild World and New Leaf. City Folk I lasted only 6 months playing on and off every 2-3 weeks. Look at the changes from GameCube to Wild World or Wild World to New Leaf, they added so much while City Folk didn’t feel like an upgrade or a step up, just a side step or even a step down in my opinion. The controls were just a nightmare in this game.

[@03bgood]

They made the same mistake with CF, that they made with Zelda PH and ST on the DS, only on the Wii, by forcing you to use the Wiimote at all times to move your character by pointing it at the TV screen.

[@ProfCoolio]

03bgood if you had a nunchuck, you could use it as an alternative mode of control

[@SunoharaTheMan]

[@Jakstalgia]

Honestly, it's extremely difficult to explain what exactly makes Animal Crossing so appealing. With that said though, the series is definitely not for everyone.
