I Spent 100 Days In Animal Crossing New Leaf...on the 3DS

I spend 100 Days In Animal Crossing New Leaf on the 3ds...
As everyone nowadays is busy playing Animal Crossing New Horizons, I decided to go back in time and play the old Animal Crossing new leaf for the Nintendo 3DS. Years later is the game still good? Am I biased to nostalgia?

im currently playing new leaf too. i started a new town in late april and it made me realize how truly lacking new horizons is in terms of 'animal crossing' charm. its an amazing decoration simulator, but that's all that it excels at. i hope the next animal crossing is finally a worthy new leaf successor

[@mostlymarvel]

Yeah. Unfortunately, I had to use an emulator to play it because i am poor af and I lost my save data too one day...

[@foibos._.]

@@mostlymarvelreminds me of my beautiful nl town I worked over 500 hours on - my 3ds is no longer able to read the game card for some reason and it just loads indefinitely 😍😍😍

[@faz10do]

New horizon is very lacking in my opinion

[@user-jq8nm1od6c]

I just started a town in April too!!!

[@vanyadolly]

I wouldn't even mind a decorating simulator for a change, but even the artstyle and music just doesn't feel like AC. I hope they go back to something closer to the old games in the next one.

[@TheMissileHappy]

It's crazy how different your playstyle is from mine 😅 you only focus on bells, don't interact much with villagers and miss when a new store opens. My heart broke a little when Cookie pinged you and you ignored her, that's how you get new public work project suggestions! But it's still super fun to watch. Oh, and did you check the turnip prices twice each day? Because they change at noon!

[@Stevieb1112]

Fun fact: if there’s a bunch of weeds in your town, Leif will show up. Thennnn, if you talk to Leif FIRST, you can get a free piece of furniture for picking up weeds.

[@TheRelicStone]

I didn't get furniture, I got orange roses!

[@Scuttlest]

Of all the things about New Leaf that brought me back to when the game was new, it was beetle hunting on the island that gave me the flashbacks.

I'm so excited you finally released this! I've been waiting since i got back into New Leaf this past October. A few notes to answer some things you talked about, as well as some tips for anyone interested: You kept tripping because you had "bad luck". The fix for that is talking to Katrina and wearing whatever she told you to. Sitting on rocks was added in the Welcome Amiibo update, i believe. Also in the Welcome Amiibo update, they added the ability to hold tools while doing other things like shaking trees. It makes catching bees much easier! You can stack fruit. You have to do it manually, unfortunately. But you can save a lot of space and time if you do decide to sell fruit for money. Leif is the only one to sell axes. Shrunk does do "comedy" if you bring him a piece of food. Once hes done he teaches you an emote. You can store turnips in dresser storage, instead of on the ground. On the ground is probably easier though so do with that what you will. You can usually sell items at retail for just under 4x what you can sell them to reece for if you put them in the consignment spots. (You can also buy things that villagers are selling and then resell them at a higher price if you want to make some easy money) The fish that the villager asked for, a Dab, is an ocean fish and it looked like you were trying to catch it in a river. I believe that there are 2 turnip prices each day. One before noon and a different price after. The ore rock is a rock that spawns somewhere different every day. If you know where your usual rocks are, you notice one out of place and thst one is the ore rock. On the island, if you are missing the trees with your net because youre too far away, drop a shell on the ground where you can hit the tree from. You have to donate a lot of things to blathers to be able to unlock the roost. Those were all of the things i could think of while watching. Great video! Im excited to see a full 365 days! Keep it up!

[@kitanaiBL]

To be honest, a lot of the hype of New Leaf came from the big ongoing online community that loved the game. I remember meeting so many random people on discord, Facebook and Reddit who all shared their interest in playing acnh

[@platonymous]

I used the social app amino for animal crossing and it was actually so active

[@vanyadolly]

Regardless of how anyone feels abut NL, it is undeniably the most complete and fleshed-out AC game. You can easily play for a year and still have things left to do and discover. It's also so full of small details that show how much care was put into it, which is missing from NH. It's criminal that they shut the servers down while so many people are still playing it. The island bug exploit is one of the worst things about the game. 😂They made it way too profitable! A more fun way to get money is with the meow coupons. They give you daily and weekly tasks like the nook miles, and you can trade them in for bells.

[@florence.5088]

I'm curious to know in which ways New Leaf is more complete and fleshed out? Because when I tried playing I was shocked at the lack of customization options. You can't choose where any building or villager's house goes, can't place your own furniture outside, can't villager hunt. Not to mention the furniture and clothing options are limited and quite ugly.

[@vanyadolly]

​@@florence.5088 Decorating and costomizing are gameplay features, it doesn't have anything to do with the game being fleshed out or not. I'm talking about how features are incorporated into the whole, and how they're fleshed out by small details that may seem irrelevant on the larger scale. Such as so many of the NPCs being thrown together on Harv's island because they weren't incorporated into the game from the start, their conversation being lacking compared to NL, same with the villager conversations and less variety in tasks. You'd leave your items with Cyrus while he worked on them. If you invited a character via amiibo, they'd take the day off work, so you didn't have stuff like Blathers teleporting from the café to the bottom of the stairs at the museum, etc. NL had a lot of attention to detail like the way your character would shiver after you'd been in the water for too long, or sweat if you dressed them too warmly in the summer. NH does decorating very well, but it shows that there wasn't much to the game beyond that at launch.

[@diannalynnYT]

Excited for this! Just found my 3DS the other day and started a new town. Wild World gets delivered Monday. And got City Folk yesterday. Heaven!!!

[@ashleyycrossing]

wow i've found you on 4 AC channels now 😭 you have great taste in videos, i'll stop pestering you now 😂

[@diannalynnYT]

@@ashleyycrossing 🤣🤣 you are good, no worries!! Can never go wrong with AC!

[@Lover_of_ebrietas]

Bro you could homebrew your 3ds

[@ashleyycrossing]

@@diannalynnYT also good luck on your new Wild World save! i got lucky when i bought my second copy. they are getting so expensive. so sadly ill probably never have GC again.. i lost my copy

[@diannalynnYT]

@@ashleyycrossing I had passed on my WW to one of my daughters , thankfully NL was a download and I don't know where CF went. Found a box full of Wii games but not there. We have a really awesome game store here that I'd consider a retro store. They have a the old stuff. So fun and I love supporting them. Husband and wife own it, and their kids work there during school breaks.

this is amazing to watch as im playing ACNL rn! got third place in the fishing tourney today. this game will never die!

[@ethankarate1819]

Same!!

[@kvpookie]

omg I'm also playing ACNL and got third place in the fishing tourney,, those fish specific contests are so time consuming tho

[@mary-lp9ei]

i got my first 3ds very late, like in 2020 and even though ive played ACNL shorter than ive played ACNH, NL just hits this spot for me. I love NH but NL has this different feel of it that even its music alone makes me gooey with love.

[@bandicootsauce4569]

1:13:55 A blessing from Arceus, perhaps? Heh. ...You know, because Arceus is number 493 in the Pokédex.

[@nate6749]

Kinda wish you invested fish, insects, fossils, and art into the meuseum.. Since if you got twenty on display with two in each catigory.. you'll unlock the upstairs with gives better equipment.. Not to mention later on the cafe. Also meow-coupons are used fot exchanging bells or can be used to by furniture.. Kinda odd you completely missed over that detail isabelle told you.. man.. But pave furniture can be bought for 30K per item..

[@7timestheRicki]

I can't lie when watching your other 100 day series I was really looking forward to you doing new leaf! I'd love to see you continue, I feel like there is so much stuff to do in new leaf! Hope to see more, loved this video!!

[@Cyber4565]

Talk to isabelle about what you can do to make your town better and your mayor permit will be 100% in a day

[@Itsanit_Isnt_It]

Considering my acnh town flag is an orange with three teeth over top of it, I think your acnl town flag is pretty good

[@lousygoose]

I'm so excited about this video! ACNL was the first AC game I ever played. ❤

[@angleofsweetrevenge]

I was so excited when I saw you made this video, and now I'm even more excited for the next part! New Leaf was my childhood (although I did play wild world first,but new leaf is NEW LEAF) and I still play the game! These days I mostly mess about editing it on save editor, sure, but just being in the town is so fun. Honestly the only thing it lacks is having the ruder villagers because that was geniunely hilarious but other than that it's perfect. Trust me, you've barely scratched the surface!

[@Zelda22-88]

Great video! I have so much nostalgia for new leaf as it was my first ac game. I love this game to death, the music, the art style, the gameplay, even the villagers (even if they are not rude). This game is my most played 3ds and is still one of my favourite games of all time.

[@lema9509]

I got back into New Leaf myself just a few weeks ago and it was so nice to step back into my familiar town. I'm a little surprised at how much you focused on house expansion and how little you hung out with your villagers, but then that's the beauty of a game allowing different playstyles! :) also I really love bug-hunting on the island actually, once you have the stealth mechanic down it's quite relaxing (and very, very profitable) Oh yeah, other people have said this but for most of the public works projects to be unlocked, villagers have to run up to you and suggest them to you. I'll definitely be looking forward to seeing your town after another 265 days 👀

[@dnapanda9421]

I was so excited to see this uploaded! I literally rewatched your gamecube video last night as I love this series!

[@Thwompo_]

I remember playing new leaf when i was younger, I got back into it during quarantine and really loved it. This video just reminded me of all the great parts of new leaf, I would LOOOVE to see 365 days in this game!!! I couldn’t put this video down!!

[@SirRias]

To get the roost and Celeste, you *need* to donate to the museum. Honestly, I'd love to see more of this and can't wait!

[@maddiedoesntexist4118]

On the island, if you cut down all the trees in the middle and keep just the palm trees, you’ll have more chances of catching rare beetles ❤

[@ninetals3834]

I really love playing New Leaf, been playing it actively for 9 months so far, I especially like interacting with the villagers, still working on obtaining all villager photos excluding the April Fools event (managed to get 8 unique), I've had the same 10 villagers for 7 months and yet to have one move out.

[@frwdee]

Lets go, when i first got introduced to this channel, I loved the 100 days series, and I wanted to see how it goes for newer tittles but I saw there arent newer than city folk, but lets go this is a brand new one of new leaf 🎉

[@AnthonyPlays3]

Yeesssss I’ve been waiting for this :D!!!!

[@andrewibarra4326]

I also just recently started replaying New Leaf in March and honestly I love it even more than the first time I played it. In my opinion, it definitely has way more charm than New Horizons. Also, if you have a second 3DS and another copy of new leaf (or friends lol), traveling to other people’s towns adds way more gameplay element too like having one of their villagers randomly move into your town, train station upgrades, and multiplayer island tour mini games. Also, to get more public works projects, you literally have to wait till one of your villagers “pings” you for a request. One way to ensure they recommend a pwp instead of a random request is by walking around your town with an empty inventory(so they won’t try and buy something from you). Works like a charm after just walking a few laps around town.

I reset my animal crossing town a while back and I'm really happy to be experiencing the game all over again. Right now, most of the villagers I have I like. With the exception of two: Naomi, and moose. Also, just for the future, every day in new leaf there will be one rock in the town that gives a gemstone when you break it. You'll know which one it is, because it'll look out of place with the rest of the rocks placed in the town by default
