Touring my 20 Year Old Animal Crossing Town

My original GameCube Animal Crossing town is around 20 years old at this point and it's been over a decade since I last paid it a visit. Until today!

I wonder what it's going to be like waaaay later. Imagine booting up a GameCube in, say, 2503 (or using your current technology to access the game in some other way) and wandering around somebody's town, knowing that the original owner died hundreds of years ago and that they probably had tons of memories in that town that you will never know.

[@vi0let831]

The console would already be dust by then lmao

[@ChicagoMel23]

[@CharmCityGamer]

I wonder if video games as we know them would exist by that time…

[@HiddenAccount]

Memory cards will have deteriorated by then.

[@beckylynn9640]

Young Dan calling his character Jerry for no reason is iconic. 10/10 town 😂

[@robertfrans5633]

The statue of a peeing man is an actual thing in Belgium. It is called Manneke Pis (Little Pissing Man) and it is a statue of a naked little boy with water coming out of his youknow.

[@Elliot226]

For how much chaos there is in this, you've made me realize how little I accomplished in my own over 20 year old save file. I never got any gold tools nor statue, never got Nook's up to its final form, and never put signs down naming things after myself or interests. I feel awful about my village lol

[@ZekDraco]

I got so happy when I saw Pudge when you opened the game. Pudge is literally my favorite villager.

[@CyberiadPhoenix]

The NES without software is not decorative, it's a remanent of a cut feature. What it actually does when you interact with it is that it searches the memory card for NES ROMs that are saved to it. People have reverse engineered it and figured out how to load these ROMs onto the memory card for you to be able to play them through Animal Crossing.

[@haydenyuy7060]

I love the villagers from the original AC. They feel more real. Even the current "cranky" characters are happy-go-lucky. Maybe that's why they started making the designing more important than villager interactions. I want a character to get mad at me if I haven't talked to them for a long time. Now they just give pity parties. Which I hate.

[@Lexyvil]

That's one of the aspects I was disappointed with in New Horizons after playing it long enough, the quality of the character interactions doesn't feel at all the same as it does in Animal Crossing on GC.

[@haydenyuy7060]

They changed it because of hurt feelings from them being too mean. Thus why we no longer have Resetti telling us how our path is leading us to a horror future for restarting.

[@Lexyvil]

@@haydenyuy7060 Wish they didn't do that, Resetti was my favourite character for his sarcasm.

[@ChicagoMel23]

@@Lexyvilyeah but others didnt like it. Kids cried. Should be like NL where hes optional

[@vanyadolly]

I love seeing people's old towns! I only got into AC a couple of years ago so while I've been playing the older games, the history is missing. I wish I'd been able to enjoy each game as they released.

[@wesleypatterson2284]

God, that first villiager saying they moved to another town gave me war flashbacks to the time Tangy, my favorite villager back then, moved to my friend Zach's town and I got SO mad thinking he made it happen somehow

[@aarbear83fierce]

Timmy and Tommy are in the first game?!!!!! Omg!!! Never knew, didn’t have friends who played so I never upgraded.

[@staralyia]

Aww, this was so fun! I love the random signs to claim land. Lol I also really miss Nookingtons too! ahhh this makes me wish I could visit my own town, but I don't think I have the data anymore, sadly

[@meltedprincess]

Nintendo and EA used to be different with AC and Sims.😩😩 Loved this video Jerry!🙂🤣 That's my bestie's name, nice choice!

[@thepokemonqueen]

you say they won't remake the original because of that statue, but new horizons included the statue of david uncensored so anything's possible 😂

[@ChicagoMel23]

The one here is a kid. David was an adult in the statue. Not the same

[@CallofFreaky]

I got that one yesterday and was “wth they didn’t censor that?”

[@ml6820]

Dan=Jerry 🤨 Yep, makes sense! 😂 This is fantastic!

[@childofcascadia]

Something about this sounds like a creepy pasta. Like the villagers trapped in a town for 190 months while the overlord PC is away. Nothing can change, its stagnant as the world only updates while the game is being played. Then one day, the PC comes back and everyones like "you kept us trapped here and waiting for you to come back for *190 months*

[@CrossingMinute]

It's pretty messed up, huh? 😅

[@rubyrose8055]

Another hilarious video put up by Dan lol 😁😂! I'm sorry I've been really busy lately so I haven't been able to make it to some of the your streams, but I'm hoping I will soon! Thanks for always providing ample entertainment and I hope you are doing well 🥰😁.

[@Luvcatz88]

This is really cool to see, thanks for sharing!

[@cosygracegames]

I love videos like this so so much- the absolute chaos that the younger versions of ourselves ensued, so much appreciation for this game! Thanks Dan for an incredible video!

[@LorisLaboratory]

A peeing statue in the middle of your living room is exactly what we all expected/hoped to see from past Dan. You're more cultured these days with the fart jars But I'll always believe now that your real name is Jerry and you panicked and had to make up an excuse on the spot when you saw it on the save. 🤣🤨🤔 I like that the real story of the gamecube, The Crust, was saved as a special treat for us livestream viewers 🥰🥲

[@kuyacoy]

Dan's already doing Goldcore 16 years ago. I see where you got that idea, or at least it has been living rent-free for 16 years since you finished Goldcore island

[@candiedskull9841]

Ooo, I need to look over my old GameCube memory cards, I still have some of it in storage. I doubt I kept my first save, but maybe my 2nd. I never got far. I also haven't played an Animal Crossing game since lol I was honestly obsessed with collecting stuff for the museum.

[@linkthehero8431]

12:59 You could get whatever NES game you wanted by putting in the right passwords into Tom Nook's password box.

[@zomzomino]

10:49 dude, that statue is a belgium landmark.

[@CrossingMinute]

I know it's significant in the real world, doesn't mean it's not funny in the context of Animal Crossing 😅

Le Thank you!

What a journey down memory lane! 😄

[@benamisai-kham5892]

I didnt have the original animal crossing as a kid because i distinctly remember just being confused by the title. So, i got it years later in my teen years and lately ive been thinking about grabbing it when i go to my parents, this definitely tells me i should.

[@ravenpoe7093]

Makes me wanna dig out my og game and play it.

Maybe you should check around for Paper Airplane corruption as that's something that can happen to older towns. If you find any signs of it, drop an item on the Paper Airplane

Lol I still have ac for my game cube which I still have and works and the save, they probably think I vanished for what 20+years

[@tom940]

incredibly enough, when I went to load up my 20 year old animal crossing town, it loaded once and would not save telling me the memory card was corrupted. Tried it in a different system and it wouldn't load, somehow though I was still able to clone it with my wii that has the homebrew channel and all that. The clone somehow worked even though the game reported the original card as corrupted, i guess it was still good enough to copy the data off one last time but not good enough to actually play

[@zachhaeusklyvetugade8963]

nah i can't be the only one that thought it said trolling

[@bradye21playsIndieHorror]

I've been wanting to do this for years. I can't find the game though, and looked up the price for even loose/scratched disks, and that's where it ended. But somehow I know everyone's still ok and the town continues as normal on that little gray rectangle... (yes I know that's not really how it works).

[@CrossingMinute]

The game disk is surprisingly hard to acquire these days. eBay is probably your best option

[@bradye21playsIndieHorror]

I'm not surprised. The gamecube didn't actually do all that well, and the game was weird and unknown when it first came out. I don't know anyone else who played the original at the time. But now that it's a popular series more people want to revisit or try the original. Plus, the fact that it's 20 years old. I'm still hoping it's just somewhere in a wrong game case or a random DVD case or something.

Man I thought the villagers will forget the never forget anything 😂

[@christoferdrewrocks1]

Wait how are you able to connect with others on the OG animal crossing? GameCube doesn’t have a online platform? 😯

[@CrossingMinute]

If you had a friend's memory card you could insert it into slot 2 of your GameCube and that would allow you to hop on a train and visit their town. You couldn't play *with* them but you could explore on your own

Wait you couldn’t get an og Wii? I swear I can build a house with how many I have 😂

I could have, I just bought the wrong thing cause I wasn't paying attention and at that point I felt silly buying ANOTHER Wii. So now I have one of each 😅

[@soviete2142]

Makes sense I know how much of a disappointment the family Wii is

[@Jennilynne]

I had this game years ago but sold it because I never got much into it. I still have my Wii but I'm unsure if I still have ny save file. I should look into it because if thats the case it might be worth picking up a copy of the game. Now that I've sunk crazy hours into New Leaf and New Horizons, lol

Hello

[@jeffrix1]

20x 12 is 240 190/12 is 15,8

[@CrossingMinute]

The town itself started roughly 20 years ago. 15.8 is close enough to round up to 16 years. But if playing math police is how you enjoy content on KZbin then knock yourself out. 😂

[@vaelegoro7782]

190 months is only 15 years and 10 months

[@CrossingMinute]

Im allowed to round up 2 months I think 😅 Unless you're talking about the "20 year" bit in the title. I started the town 20 years ago, just to be clear.

[@vaelegoro7782]

Yes I saw title and number and did the math as well then made the comment

[@kittyyoutuber9]

And here I thought abandoning my villagers for a whole month was bad. Great video.
