[@nickk3077]

I still think about the year 2031, when Animal Crossing will no long follow the time of the current hour as 2030 is its maxed-out date on the GameCube. In a sense, I guess that will become lost content.

[@Hunter-R.]

6.5 years remain... 🕗

[@steelplasma256]

Technically a mod that adds an offset to the date is not that unheard of.

[@PaulFisher]

Will the year in the GameCube roll over to an earlier date, or does it keep going but you can no longer manually *set* the date beyond 2030!

[@Hunter-R.]

@@PaulFisher If your GameCube internal clock is ever set above the year 2030, then the year in Animal Crossing will be set to 2030 upon every boot up. You can get Animal Crossing to go to 2031 if you go to New Years Eve in 2030 and let the clock rollover, but once you reset it goes back to 2030.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="666">11:06</a> Fun fact: That isn't the only Japan exclusive 7/11 collab in a 3DS game! Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia had a 7/11 collab in which you could get an exclusive sword, shield, and food items

[@LeeTCGA]

[@LumaTotUwU]

Similarly on the Switch, Splatoon 2 had some 7/11 clothing exclusive to Japan.

[@Dark_Side_Productions]

New Horizons actually does have lost content! Pre-2.0 you had to upgrade your museum in order for it to have art. Before the art upgrade it was grey and after it was brown and had red banners. After 2.0, however, building the ACNH museum leads to you getting the art and the red banners right away, to account for the fact that the museum now has a different upgrade, The Roost. However, if you didn’t upgrade to have the art exhibit before 2.0 came out, you can still have the original bannerless museum on your island.

[@KopperNeoman]

Not so lost that it can't be found on places like hshop, mind you.

[@SlyCooperReloadCoded]

I have a really weird memory of when I hacked my Wii and played City Folk... with lightsabers? They were essentially just axes, but with a custom model. Now I'm wondering how people back then got custom models into the game, or how I got them into the game.

[@bobbob1876]

Hacked DLC, they called it! Very fun and spread via players visiting your town or vice versa. I remember the Dimentio Mask based on Super Paper Mario and the lightsabers

[@SlyCooperReloadCoded]

@@bobbob1876 Hacked DLC sounds familiar, but no one ever visited my town or vice versa, and I can't remember how I got it.

[@punoil]

YES! I still have my save file with lightsaber axes, a guitar axe, the dimentio mask and pokeballs that were a reskin of the triple red shells

[@orsonzedd]

Okay so the way that DLC worked in Animal Crossing city Folk was that whenever you connected with someone if they had DLC it was loaded into your console permanently permanently. So they figured that out pretty quickly and that meant you could effectively create custom furniture or Tools in this case and everybody would get it even though they weren't officially made

[@robotortoise]

​@@orsonzeddThat makes sense, because I remember an interview where Nintendo was talking about how cool it was that fully custom items were being downloaded into the game. The only way that would even work was if the custom items were downloaded to all players!

[@Thoomas2001]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="697">11:37</a> reminds me of my vacation to Oslo and Stockholm last November. Both Norway and Sweden are home to 7-Eleven, which makes them the first and so far only countries I've been to which have 7-Eleven. The very first time I ever went to 7-Eleven was in Oslo... on November 7th, which can also be written out as 7/11. This was completely unintentional and I only realized when I saw posters at a different location later that day with text along the lines of "Happy 7-Eleven Day!" So the TLDR: the first time I ever went to 7-Eleven was on 7/11 and I didn't even realize when I did it.

[@Hunter-R.]

7-Eleven is extremely popular in Japan, as are convenient stores in general. As an American, I largely view them as a standard gas station store, but they go crazy in Japan with the meals and products they provide. Cool to hear about them in other countries as well!

[@thetechconspiracy2]

At the very least the Switch lets you download the update from other consoles if you can get in the same room as someone who has the patch downloaded

[@skittycecil9786]

Great video as always, but you forgot one thing (or rather, two); Katie and Kaitlin! Another thing I found interesting after reading about the monkey distributions is that after receiving the data, you’d also get a message in a bottle from Katrina that’s specific to each Monkey. Also, they’d say they moved directly from Nintendo!

[@Hunter-R.]

Ah, for some reason I thought Katie and Kaitlin were only in Wild World where they still have presence in local communication. They are indeed lost from City Folk, which I admittedly haven't played a lot of... Good catch!

[@SuperLuigiKart64]

Katie and Kaitlin are at least still present in Wild World, given that they will trigger from local multiplayer. But you are correct that they no longer function in City Folk! And while you know, I'm going to provide information for those who are unaware of what they are: Katie and Kaitlin are a pair of special characters, a mother and daughter cat whose presence is tied to multiplayer. After a multiplayer session, a random chance results in the two cats appearing in two separate towns from the players who were connected. Katie, the daughter, cries that she got separated from her mom, and Kaitlin similarly worries about her daughter. The two players need to open their gates again, the player with Kaitlin hosts while the player with Katie needs to physically guide her to the town gate. Once the connection is made, the two leave happily. The player who had Katie receives a present in the mail, but I believe the player with Kaitlin doesn't receive anything. This encounter is unchanged across both Wild World and City Folk, but Wild World can still trigger the encounter via local wireless play. Interestingly, while Katie alone is still in New Leaf, she is still multiplayer-reliant and thus much more difficult to encounter. She can randomly show up in your town after a multiplayer session, and asks to continue seeing the world by visiting other towns. You again have to guide her to the train station and leave for another town, and she'll then mail a present the next day.

I didn't realize that the Dream Suite was no longer usable in New Leaf until I watched this video. I didn't use it much, but I had fond memories of it nonetheless, and it's saddening how I'll never be able to enjoy the entirety of New Leaf again. (Through official means, that is.)

[@tangentfox4677]

When you mentioned shiny Pokemon events, I had a flashback to how I played Pokemon alone for so long and never looked up anything or interacted with the community, and how I only learned shiny Pokemon are a real rare thing super late in playing. I'd encountered one or two and thought it was a glitch, knocked it out, kept going. Only years later I realized I missed a cool rare thing.

[@ElTaitronAnim]

You're not alone. I first encountered a shiny Rattata in Pokemon Gold, saw the sparkles but didn't notice the color change, thought that maybe it would give a bunch of Exp., knocked it out and got disappointed, then didn't think about it any further. Whoops.

[@HandoruKiipa]

I'm pretty sure the only shiny I ever saw was when I was emulating the Japanese version of Gold before it was released in NA and I had no idea what it was until much later. Shoutout to my neighbor's cool older brother who hooked me up with a floppy containing the ROM and NO$GMB.

[@FerinitheBloodHusky]

@@HandoruKiipa gameboy color emulation was possible then?

[@HandoruKiipa]

@@FerinitheBloodHusky Sure was! There were other emulators out there, but I think GBC support in NO$GMB was added in '98 or '99--either way, definitely in time for the November '99 release of Pokémon Gold & Silver in Japan.

[@LazKoal]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="574">9:34</a> it’s still crazy to me that the only AC game that really got multiplayer play right was New Leaf. Sure, you can make your own fun by visiting other players’ towns in WW, CF, or NH. But NL was the only one where the game gave you actual multiplayer mini games to play, as well as the ability to track how many bugs and fish players catch using the timer item, allowing you to host your own bug/fishing catching contest in your town. I find it particularly egregious that NH doesn’t have anything like this-there’s very little to do when visiting another player’s town! Online multiplayer mini games a la Tortimer Island tours had so much potential and I really hope they return in the next game (whenever that may be).

[@camwoodstock]

the Fireworks Table from New Leaf's Spotpass thing is literally my favorite furniture item, and i am still sad that it both didn't return in New Horizons, but also just can't be obtained without save editing or GODLY streetpass luck anymore. it was really cool looking.

Ah, New Leaf online multiplayer. Fond memories. One time I was playing with strangers on the island, chatting, making friends. Then all of a sudden this one girl types out "FIRE THUNDERSTORM" in all caps and a few seconds later I get booted out with the Resetti screen. I think about her constantly.

[@AggressionSsbb]

I can't play some new games due to this. I hate mobas because I can't get every skin.

[@NunofYerbizness]

New Horizons had a quirk found out about it a while ago that, after December 30th 2060, the game will no longer be able to play. Luckily as it stands though, this can be simply be combatted by setting the Switch's internal clock to any earlier year (unlike other cases like the permanent closure of Super Mario Bros. 35)

[@phoenixgoldsworthy7872]

Love these little deep dives! Something I realized recently is that in ACNH I think the brown museum (the first stage) can no longer be unlocked from a fresh save, as when it's first built it jumps straight to the bigger, white one.

[@Chubby_Bub]

A lot of the New Leaf distributed items as well as items from regional holidays were only available in certain countries, so you had to trade with people from America, various European countries, Korea, and Japan to get everything. (There was also a shirt, the blue argyle tee, that was categorized as a distributed item but never even actually released.) City Folk had some regional items too, but not nearly as many. At least New Horizons lets everyone get stuff from around the world, and I think the specific New Year's items can still be acquired by changing your system time.

[@jrod.314]

Great video, Ive never seen anyone mention the original copy letter in the gamecube game. Just wanted to add something on since I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to animal crossing haha, interestingly new horizons does have another piece of 'lost content' - when the museum updated with artwork in 1.2.0, the player was not automatically granted an updated museum, but instead had to complete a short 'quest' in which they would need to deliver an artwork item to blathers so that he would upgrade. Most people who played the game before this would take no notice of this, thinking this was just another upgrade, however if restarting/creating a new island, the player will skip this quest, meaning that the original museum upgrade is technically unobtainable while playing naturally. just thought this was an interesting piece of lost content, keep up the great videos man

[@Brixster]

I've been playing WW on the Delta emulator on my phone for a while now and I just got a Nookway. That's pretty disappointing to know that I won't be able to upgrade it any further, since I'm not sure of any ways to get another person to visit my town.

[@Hunter-R.]

If you have the means, you can export your save and send it to a PC to edit in Nookington’s pretty easily. But it is annoying that you can’t unlock it purely through singleplayer…

[@minirop]

if you play on emulator, then you can probably memory edit something to unlock it.

[@RogueOmega]

I mean, there IS a hack of the game that allows you to get Nookington's through singelplayer. So if you're playing it on emulator, you might want to go seek it out.

[@KopperNeoman]

Does the Wii U virtual console version use emulator patches or a direct ROM modification to allow the single player unlocking of Nookingtons? ...why that emulator never supported multiplayer is beyond me. Was it timing issues, linking an emulated DS to a physical one?

Considering most holiday events and the like aren't actually included in New Horizons' data, and have to be downloaded from Nintendo's servers, that makes the holiday events temporary content - once the NH servers are shut down, which they inevitably will be, holidays will likely be gone for good. Yet another reason why I refuse to play NH.

[@mx.blackhole7615]

Hey, speaking of the online items distributed with City Folk, have you ever considered talking about the modded items that could replace them? I recall hearing these items, once modded in, could be seen online by other players and even spread to them because it directly replaced items in that distribution table. I'm not sure if I have all my facts correct, but that's what I remember reading. I'm also not sure if you've covered it or would plan to cover it, but I'd also be interested in hearing you cover the phenomenon of seeding if you haven't. I know it effected Wild World's online multiplayer as entire cartridges could be permanently ruined, without outside help to fix it, if a hacker decided to over populate someone's town with specific buildings to the point of crashing the game at start up.

in the videos wild world always looks good and the framerate looks pretty solid. Everytime i play my ds version it's nothing like that. Do people always use the wiiU version?

[@strawberryynoodlesauce]

Or emulation. DS is very slow and bad graphics

[@LendriMujina]

I completely forgot about that letter, but this brought back the memory. I had no idea it was tied to the memory card; I still have said card, but obviously the special data was used up long ago. The random games that got picked were Balloon Fight and DK Jr. Math.

Can you talk about that Wii u Animal Crossing Plaza??? I had it on my Wii u but I don't remember a single thing about it...

[@SuperLuigiKart64]

In case you'd like the info before any potential video about it: The Animal Crossing Plaza was a unique app that effectively acted as an extension of Miiverse. In imitation of the Wii U's main menu "WaraWara Plaza", several dozen characters would walk around a town square and occasionally provide snippets of dialog. Tapping on a villager would allow you to either make a post about that villager to the Animal Crossing Miiverse community, or browse others' posts tagged with that villager. You could also simply view that community through that app's bulletin board, in addition to updates about Animal Crossing from official channels. Every single villager and special character present in New Leaf was present in the Plaza, though the game loaded random ones every time the app was started. There were also polls allowing the users to vote on monthly topics like "Who would make the best boss?" or "Who would you trust your secrets to?". Funnily enough, Isabelle literally won every single poll across the entire 13 months of the feature's existence. The app still functioned even after being delisted from the eShop, but lost all functionality once Miiverse ended.

I mean, with the usage of the Kaeru WFC DNS server, you don't even need a hacked system to get things like Nintendo WFC back on a 3DS or DS/DSi system. All it takes is changing the DNS of your wifi connection in the connection settings and signing on. That helps keep systems like Wild World going, even if it's a third party solution.

[@AmiiboDoctor]

Someone say "amiibo"?

[@JosephShemelewski]

Festival... I hear Scott the Woz screaming from Ohio

[@antibeachballsociety]

In New Leaf, unless you have a copy of the game without the Welcome Amiibo update on it, you will never see sick villagers. The possibility of villagers getting sick and needing medicine was removed from the game.. for some reason.

[@lavenderstarzzz]

Hunter R, thank you so much for making videos. I'm autistic, and animal crossing is one of my special interests. Most other channels recite the same facts over and over again and say they're facts I "probably didn't know" but you actually tell me things I DIDNT know, and I'm super grateful for that (i think a lot of it comes from the fact that you mostly talk about the very first animal crossing which seems to be one of the games that isn't talked about as much as the others)

[@akirbyobsessee7396]

YAY i finally caught a new hunter r upload as it happens

[@Daaaaj]

I'm surprised you havent talk about how they were other sponsor villager in Happy home designer (I only rebember a cat from Monster hunter but surely they were other)

[@Hunter-R.]

The Monster Hunter crossover, as well as the Felyne villager, is still accessible in the game by scanning certain Monster Hunter amiibo. But, you’re right in that I probably should’ve mentioned it!

[@Daaaaj]

​@@Hunter-R. Damn I didnt know that , well thanks good to know

[@sebster3842]

Something I miss so much in NH is the rare flower island :( I don’t know why they removed it, but it was by far my most favorite island

[@Xalo_]

congrats on the sponsor
