Why I love Animal Crossing Wild World

[@TevansYT]

Hey guys! This video has been blowing up recently! If you have any interest in Halo Reach I highly recommend going and checking out my video on it. It's a lot like this video but with better editing lol. Come check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaCqZIttdqijqLc

Wild World AND Halo Reach?! My man, you just got yourself another subscriber.

[@Euph3mia]

My childhood, overall, was pretty horrible. I dealt with a lot of trauma as a little girl. But this game was my safety blanket. It feels like a cosy morning, still tucked up in bed, sunlight peeking through the curtains, and feeling happy for a little while. I’m 20 now. I still love Animal Crossing. Some things never change.

[@sirmcsir2080]

Can really relate to that. Only for me it was new leaf.

[@TevansYT]

These games really had a unmatched ability to draw you in and make you forget about the outside world. I miss that sometimes. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I think that the real power of Animal Crossing is the ability to froze time in a particular moment of your life. If you got engaged in it's routine, making your city thrive and then one day you just don't feel like playing it again, a huge amount of time can pass and when you finally you remember about your village, those funny animals who treated you like genuine digital friends will welcome you with open arms, asking you how are you doing...

[@TevansYT]

Very true, finding your old Minecraft world feels the same.

[@FoxrosePettipaw]

I still vividly remember Nan moving into my town on my Wild World game and her putting up her house RIGHT NEXT to mine. I was so frustrated because it made it impossible to decorate around my house. With Nan to the right, the shops to the north, the cliff to my left and the sea to my south. Yet after I got over my hostility I came to love Nan and personified her as like the Granny next door. I ended up loving her the most of all my villagers and was devastated after returning to my game years later and finding out she moved. Never could of thought a little character in a game could make me feel so many emotions! Just hearing that theme song brought back so many happy memories :)

[@brunettemouse3265]

Loool, I also had Nan. One of my fave villagers ever.

[@roseythebean]

omg i remember a time when Melba moved away from my town, i'm pretty sure i actually cried because she was one of my very first villagers!

[@benamisai-kham5892]

This is exactly what happened to me in new leaf with Deena, now she's a permanent resident on my acnh island and up with my favorites 😂 I tried so hard to get rid of her because I was so mad she moved so close to me but ended up loving her so much

[@HrSeltsam]

This review just....sums it up so perfectly. From the playing with your siblings, to the late-night car drives, enjoying the wonderful atmosphere ^^ As a child it just had a certain magic that the newer games just can't really capture that well, I think.

[@TevansYT]

The old games had a certain charm that I think the newer games lost. I couldn't name it if I could though. Thank you so much for watching!

[@zoura3113]

i do NOT appreciate the Tom Nook slander! he gives you a house when YOU show up BROKE and just goes "hey thats okay, do some chores and you can pay me back whenever you can!". imagine showing up to an apartment and the landlord is like "hey do you have your rent?" and you go "im broke lol, can i just stay here for free?" Tom Nook does so much for you and all you do is slander his name because he wants the money from the basically free house he gives you. anyway i love animal crossing wild world! its my childhood game and i remember waking up early on even school days just to play a couple minutes of it! fun times. plus the characters feel so much more alive than the new games

[@TevansYT]

You don't have a choice in that matter though lol. Bro simply sees a random guy and somehow entraps him into a huge mortgage lol. He is a real estate version of a loanshark lmao. The animal crossing wild world animals are for real classics, the music too was on another level. One of the biggest nostalgia games for me personally.

8pm is my song from that game. that takes me RIGHT back to my childhood. it had a lot of phenomenal music but that's my piece

[@TevansYT]

Instant classic, that's what I hear whenever I think of Wild World.

[@pastelskybun]

I’m glad you made this video! I would like to add that what you said about the music and the state animal crossing puts you in so true! With the ds and 3ds opening the console up and bottling up your cartridge to play animal crossing and hearing that iconic soundtrack is like a ritual for peace and calmness… for me animal crossing on the 3ds and earlier just felt right..

[@TevansYT]

The soundtrack is unrivaled, thanks for watching!

[@ltsACroissant]

what a stunning video. I mean genuinely, this video is so gentle, heartfelt, and genuine. watching this not only brought a sense of peace, but healing. everything said is true, whether it be tom nook being a con-artist, or animal crossing as a series holding the properties of simple past, it's all right. thank you for posting this video...

[@silent_pete]

It looks dated and simple now, but this game was so revolutionary when it came out tbh. Absolutely ruled my childhood. The internet and the ability to make friends around the world was still this cool new commodity, so getting to visit a ton of different towns and play with people in them at the same time was so cool to me. I spent so much time on a particular Animal Crossing forum in middle school lol, I think I was kind of at the perfect age when ww came out. Making friends, visiting others, finding patterns to theme my town with, 'working' for giveaway/landscape services lmao. I remember turning my town into a camp once, sleeping bag and campfire patterns in a forest of trees I planted, then inviting a bunch of people for a "sleepover" where we mostly just chatted late into the night. The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing, anyone? I'm still close with a handful of people from that forum today. New Leaf may be objectively better, but Wild World just had a mix of cozy/otherworldliness I think the newer games lack. You really felt like a stranger to this town in the first couple games... that rainy taxi ride set a great tone. That's probably just nostalgia/childhood talking though lol. Either way, this game will always have a special place in my heart. And Antonio and Walker will always be my homies. ❤

[@TevansYT]

Thank you for telling your story with this great game. (:

[@Valcuda]

I love the Animal Crossing series. I was introduced to it by my mother, who fell in love with it, even when the game was only on the GameCube. After that, I played every game as it came out. My mother, my sister and I would all get so excited when a new game would come out, and we'd play it for days. Even though my favorite is City Folk, I still have the strongest memories with New Leaf, playing with my mother and sister, or just messing around. New Horizons however, killed my enjoyment of the series. It wasn't Animal Crossing, yet it had features I've wanted since the beginning. I was so excited for it, getting every bit of information about it. But the game isn't Animal Crossing. They removed the core of Animal Crossing. It's Animal Crossing visually, but they ruined it in so many small ways, and with Animal Crossing, small things are big. The crafting system completely destroyed the game! Tools constantly breaking! Only having a reason the play holidays once! They removed fan favorite characters! Who remembers Pete? If you woke up early enough you could see him! They removed Resetti! They made Rover only appear on a single day of the year! They removed Gracie! The store only upgrades once! I don't think I'll be excited about the next Animal Crossing. New Horizons is the best selling game in the series, so I doubt Nintendo will make the next game more like Animal Crossing.

[@kelseylee2645]

This literally made me so sad because that part of our lives if passed. I still have my DS with this animal crossing. Definitely will be playing it tonight

I'm playing this game again and I can't believe how much amused I am as I play it. This video was simply beautiful.

[@Bellexxlux]

Literally some of my best childhood memories is playing animal crossing. In my room at night before sleeping or at the back of the car while my parents were driving us home. I loved every second.

Nintendo has such nostalgia. I recently started playing new horizons, and it’s such a transformational experience. I don’t remember a lot from my childhood but I did remember my cats game on my DS lite. I’m planning on getting wild world to play again. Please make more wild world in animal crossing content. This video truly brought me back. Thank you.

[@notanactualmacaroni6139]

Nice video dude, gave me real nostalgia for the most important game of my childhood; I loved all the small details you could find out - the rare times Tom Nook and other npcs told you a bit of his backstory or how to get the golden tools. I really have some lovely memories of playing it. But don't do my boy Tom Nook that dirty, he may not be perfect but he builds you a house and just waits for you to pay it off with 0% interest rates or anything. You don't even have to pay it off. I wish he would sell me a house lmao Looking forward to see more of your videos :)

[@TevansYT]

Hey thanks so much man, I'm a new KZbinr so comments like these mean a ton to me. I'm in the editing phase on a Halo reach video, so if you like that game be sure to stay tuned as it will probably be out within a week or two!!

[@gintoqi]

This video brought back so many memories and so many feelings. It was truly the simplicity of it all that made me feel so at home during my chuldhood and teens, even now in my adult years. There are times I wish I could go back to these simpler times playing WW and CF, and even New Leaf. Being young playing this series from the beginning. Truly my comfort game...

[@stealerofsocks]

This video felt like sitting on a rooftop with a friend after a long car drive and talking about life while looking at the stars. It's comforting but makes you feel nostalgic and melancholic at the same time. For a simple life simulation game (at least by today's standards, although I think it has a unique charm that is effective to this day), Wild World meant so much to so many people and continues to bring us all together today as we reminisce about our time playing, our childhood and all look to the future of both the franchise and our own lives. ♡

[@EmmaJ_95]

I remember when Goose was one of my villagers when playing WW then year's later for my 23rd my parents got me a switch bundle (don't worry guys I was saving up for a switch at the time and was willing to pay half of it) as well as NH, Goose was also my first villager in the new game too. I almost cried seeing him again it was like a reunion 🥺

[@mythicalrock2486]

Animal Crossing, it has never been part of my childhood. However, it feels like I’ve been playing for years. I know no one, yet I love all of my villagers. Even though I don’t play a lot, I feel like as these were my friends growing up. The only thing I can recognize is the music. As it would come from all the youtube videos I’d watch, all the silly roblox games I’d play. The music is one thing that constantly sticks with me, as it always seems to be everywhere I go. It makes me feel young, yet I’ve never played this franchise ever in my childhood. Animal Crossing truly is something special.

[@celestegalvan4530]

Wow, you really read my mind on everything. Playing this during simple times, and now we are all older. I listen to animal crossing music as I study, and I think of the good times.

[@celestegalvan4530]

I just recently bought new horizons to feel that nostalgia, but isn’t the same 😢

[@TevansYT]

The newer games almost feel too polished in a way, wild world with the old graphics and classic feel just brings you back in a way.

[@virvewirllos]

Me and my sister used to play this a lot with our cousins (we were raised together) through our childhoods and well into our teens. Despite rough patches, I had overall a pretty happy childhood so whenever I am reminded of this game I remember the good times we shared both in the game and out. It was such a charming game, and really mysterious at the time. I remember my cousin and I trying to guess how to unlock the hair salon, exchanging playground rumors between classes with my friends, trying to understand what the info I could find online said with my limited english, finding out the different easter eggs like the UFO. And also times when I hid the DS under my pillow so I could play past my bedtime just to walk around the town at night. To this day the 12 pm music makes me think of sleeping in during the weekends, it's such a good game for me. I love New Leaf and even though it's gameplay is my favorite of the series I cannot sincerely say it is my favorite since I played it when I was going through some really tough times, and New Horizons well... We all know what happened all too well. Wild World will always hold a really special place in my heart that few other games will probably come close too, I can only think of Lost In Blue and Aion coming close to the feeling I get when I revist this game.

[@ATRcams]

I'm 42, this game wasn't available when I was younger, but many years ago I saw a vid of a grandma playing this game and couldn't find it anymore so I was looking for a review of that game. Well, your vid is much better than I was searching for. Thanks for sharing it in that way!

[@peachypufff]

new leaf and city folk…i think i liked city folk the best. characters were still pretty diverse, you could leave and literally go to a whole ‘nother city with shops and a theater and redd and katrina-not to mention the walrus guy who used to come sell little carnival trinkets like bubbles or balloons. if you were lucky enough, you could buy a bunny shaped balloon. i loved new leaf, i loved that i could take it anywhere i wanted so i could just feel safe and small again anytime i want. but city folk just had my heart. during second grade and during the summers, i would always play city folk in the comfort of my grandma’s sun room. the cozy enclosure with the foldable couch-bed. i could just leave everything behind and block everything out, and focus on nothing but tinkering with custom designs and befriending my villagers. the soundtrack on city folk was also extraordinary, and it, as you said, put me in that headspace. a gentle, comfortable, safe, small headspace. it felt like home playing that game, and i’m so happy i still have it.

[@draculena]

6:50 silly goose, this is the 7 pm song from animal crossing new leaf, not wild world :) this was a great retrospective video. i also fondly remember playing animal crossing wild world on drives home. waking up early before school to check out the shops, loading up my town as soon as i got home. reading the villager dialogue out loud to my father as he drove me to and from sports practice. coming back from a hot summer's day outside, rushing to eat and shower the dirt off me so i could cozy up in bed and watch some summer fireworks in game. i miss those days more than anything. animal crossing will always be the most special game in the world to me.

This was the only game my sister and I shared too lmao. Well, that and Nintendogs, but I'm sure you can guess why we also had that game in common. I was too young to really understand that paying off the loans was the only way to really progress in the game, and, as a result, I mainly spent my time galavanting, fishing, enjoying chats with the villagers, never paying off a single loan. That is until I finally visited my sister's town using Nintendo's wireless multiplayer (which back then, even my kid brain could comprehend that this was truly groundbreaking technology), and I was left utterly stumped as to why her Tom Nook store was like a freaking IKEA compared to my town which still had the first tier hut, Nook's Cranny lmao.

That choice would dictate my whole life afterwards in the best way possible. People never seem to accept that THAT is a huge part of why Pokemon pearl is my favorite game of all time. We'd stay up late on school nights playing in the underground, battling. Or just talking across the hall about what we were up to. I miss those days.

thank you so much for this video the simple editing the car part ughh it made me cry and i would so binge animal crossing rn if i didnt lend it to my sister.. time to get it back

[@emmylovesyou08]

i played animal crossing a lot when i was younger, but as i got older i forgot the game existed until new horizons came out and i’m so glad it came out when it did because i really needed comfort through quarantine and the animal crossing games did just that for me ❤ thanks to nintendo

[@Unbounded.]

how beautiful video... So much nostalgia :,3

[@swiftycentral26]

I just emulated this game, thanks for this video. Now i can enjoy the game

[@crispysquidoftheacidcats295]

This game was escapism for the struggles of daily life. It was a simple game. I think thats why wild world still holds up. New horizons is ok but its no wild world. In new horizons, the villagers loop more and arent unique and are waaaaaay too nice. The mechanics are waaay too complex now qnd if we ever went back to a wild world game we would find it empty. Thats why we replay wild world. Its nostalgic.

[@AnastasiaPlantlegs]

As someone who didn't have AC as a child but grew to adore it as an adult, I can say I feel a warm fuzzy feeling about it even without having true nostalgia. I just bought a copy of wild world for my DS and it makes me feel so happy! (Wait, is it nostalgia if I'm playing it on my old DS?)

Absolute melodic big brain wisdoms from Mr Mguire

[@brawlfan]

You never know what your character did before you started playing. _They_ probably chose to buy a house from Nook without having enough bells (like the Gamecube animal crossing's protagonist) and you're just painting Nook in a bad light _because_ it wasn't *you* that made this choice, it was *your character* before you took control of their life from that point onwards. I mean, Nook doesn't even charge interest! If someone like that existed irl there'd be loads of people who'd take advantage of that.

[@Unbounded.]

I made money easily planting money with the golden shovel, that was a secret trick who very little people knew

[@TheVioletBunny]

I was in my mid 20s when this came out already moved on from games mohed out of the house and playing in a band in Philly. I did not get the nostalgia from this but I started with new horizons when it came out and I’m going back to the older games. Makes me envious of those who got to play this when it was new. Than again I was there for the original nes and snes era when it was new.

[@TevansYT]

That original nes and snes era would've been wild to live through. When I first got into games it was the era of the GameCube.

[@TheVioletBunny]

@@TevansYT the first game I beat was Mario 1 and the original legend of Zelda I was in kindergarten around 89’

[@UltraPoyoColt]

Animal crossing is awesome. I still play the 3ds game and switch ones and all the past games today!

[@WesleyCintra]

AMAZING video. ❤I was very emotional. this game is magic. It has the power to take you to another life. a better life without problems. I played New Leaf and New Horrizons. but i want to play wild world

[@mariacarlota4440]

Best Animal Crossing songs EVER

[@emily777_]

i never thought about it like that, do i enjoy animal crossing because it's good or because of nostalgia? great video, was a nice watch before i go to sleep

[@NOSTRAY]

animal crossing WW theme make me cry fr

[@a_naotenhonome780]

So sad that a lot of people have on the fandom this mentally that we shouldn't look bad on older animal crossing games, because they are dated (like graphics and have less customisations opinions compared to recent titles), when older games still have a lot of charm, like to me WW was when the series peaked in terms of villagers feeling like actual people, music and even some events

[@TowelsKingdom]

This was my first AC

[@Rynewulf]

Dang, I think with the ds I shared with my mum we had less than 9 games total over its whole lifetime. DS games were expensive

[@TevansYT]

Ya lol, to be fair though we got a lot of the bad ones lol. I think throughout the entire time the only mainstream D.S games I got were like super Mario and wild world. You could rack up quite a few games buying off the bottom rack and ebay lol.

[@Rynewulf]

@@TevansYT thats fair! I remember landing up with on sale copies of random stuff like a lego strategy game lol

[@Nxchti]

i played that on the wii u my childhood

[@AveragesonicadvanceFan-hm3ml]

For some reason I had a lot of affection for the villager buck I have no clue why I just liked him a bit too much

[@lorena.2543]

The music in animal crossing is everything! Nothing gives me more serotonine than theirs lol I'm glad your video captured the essence that well congrats :) had a blast watching your last video too! Do you have any social media?

[@TevansYT]

Hey thanks for watching and taking an interest in my channel! I have a Twitter and an Instagram that I will link in my about section! (:

[@DuckAHoy]

i actually really loved this video, idk if anyone else would be but id be interested in a new leaf video

[@GrimmesGL]

Thank you so much for this video! I felt every word!

[@TevansYT]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@Willowedwisps]

this is a delightful video, im excited to see more from you!

[@TevansYT]

Thanks!

[@cierahperrotti2132]

This game got me through highschool

[@Spenida]

damn it's like some1 is expressing my thoughts exactly... as the years pass the world is getting crazier it seems to me... videogames and movies are my haven these days, i've never played animal crossing but this got me intrigued, it reminded me of Harvest moon which i used to play a loooot as a kid, i loved it so much. These days i've been obsessed with the yakuza series, i played all of them hahah, currently playing like a dragon 7 and im so sad cuz im nearing the end

[@shimako8183]

Ah yes, the typical Tom Nook rant, of course. I've heard it all before, so I know exactly why people are having rows about him being "bad" or "evil". The driving scene feels really out of place but it was enough for me to give this video a like. Nice work. But... I'm not that far from your age, and I've only just gotten into the game too, so you're not alone. It's funny how that happens. I can't drive but if I could I'd be driving down the empty road in the dark, no doubt thinking about Animal Crossing all the way.

[@discussingwhattodo5381]

Oh my goodness I didn’t know new leafs soundtrack would hit this hard already. Has it really already been 10 years?

[@TevansYT]

I can't believe it's been that long either.

[@Caet.]

I just started the game but thanks for showing me the magic

[@spartaninvirginia]

Good luck finding a landlord or a mortgage lender that is as chill about payments as Tom Nook. Credit checks? Nope. Interest? None. The hate Tom Nook gets is absurd.
