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

[@snailpocky]

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

[@ghost_of_the_basement]

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...

New horizon is very lacking in my opinion

[@user-jq8nm1od6c]

[@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.

One thing I absolutely ADORE about New Leaf now (but used to hate as a kid) was the days you'd be randomly tripping ALL THE TIME. Just looked it up after watching him trip, and it's because the game just randomly assigns your character bad physical luck that day. It just randomly gives you a mild inconvenience. Idk I loveee it hahahah.

[@maize2056]

Whia! I had no idea that this was a bad luck mechanic! Thats awesome!

[@macabrecitrus2127]

And if you wear the lucky item of the day it cancels it ! You can know it by using the Lovely phone

i had bad physical luck one day that I decided to wear the bandages accessory and I was convinced the game took the accesory as a sign of me being clumsy 😅 I was so annoyed that I kept tripping

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!

[@kindlady2297]

this was always super grating to me, at this point i hatewatch these vids lol its always a debt speedrun but then not even using some of the best bell making strategies or using them efficiently >.< drives me up a wall but here i am still watching them...

[@soappacket2342]

Yeah the reason I thought ACNH was so lame was because of how boring the villagers are! They are my FAVORITE part of Animal Crossing. Brings back memories of me crying when Rocco moved out of my WW town

[@robertami8632]

His playstyle is different because it's not a let's play. You have to have a defined goal to complete for a video like this. His normal play is different than content as well.

[@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

[@Abidjan-o6m]

You have eyes that are set wide apart like no one else.

[@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..

Husband and wife own it, and their kids work there during school breaks.

[@craigrogers6584]

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!

[@anjab-1769]

The way I was internally screaming at you to please please sell at 122 😭😂

[@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!

[@healgoth]

Also as another commenter mentioned, you have to respond to villager pings to get new public works projects (depending on the personality you get a different one)

[@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.

[@sourcandy6469]

I played ww and city folk as a child and I loved the hidden secrets in those. I also played nl and liked that game a lot too. I don’t remember all the differences because it’s been too long. Why do you think nl is more fleshed out than the ones before?

[@psyduckpuddles4366]

@@sourcandy6469cause they have new ideas each game. Happens in lots of sequels

[@sourcandy6469]

@@psyduckpuddles4366 With that logic new horizons should be considered the most flashed out. I was looking for examples that would explain why op considers new leaf to be the most flashed out.

[@miomaewi]

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.

[@Shiba_Draws]

New Leaf is just more fleshed out. The NPCs arent just thrown into one small island because they werent there before (harvs island), the villagers have more personality, you have to literally earn their trust, and much more! Id love a new Leaf with the decorating aspect from new horizons to be honest!

[@FroggyNight]

Just restarted my NL town after 7yrs. Realized I never got very far in it despite playing a bunch. I’m having a blast rediscovering the game. Some tips I’ll share with you. 1) The stalk market price changes twice a day, once in the AM once in the PM. 2) On the island, fish up any large size fish and sharks as well as beetles. Prices are 4K-15k. 3) If your pockets are full, you can still purchase a hat if you aren’t already wearing one by first trying it on and then choosing “wear it out”.

[@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 👀

[@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.

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
