30 minutes of useless information about Animal Crossing: New Leaf (on the 3DS) 

This video just reinforces my belief that as great as every animal crossing game is, new leaf was (and still is) a very special wonderful game! My favorite game period

Dodos are absolutely real animals. They were hunted into extinction. Julian isn't a real unicorn because if you give him a hat, his horn goes away. He's a faker!

Please bring more New Leaf content, everyone only ever talks about New Horizons, but at least to me, New Leaf is the best game from the franchise and will prob always be.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T THINK DODOS EXISTED?!?!

Yeah, so... Pashmina has litterally just been added to Pocket Camp today, along with 9 other villagers who weren't in yet. To my knowledge, this means that roughly 20 villagers from ACNH are left to be added.

I looked it up and the reason why Inkwell didn't make a return in NH is because he was one of the several villagers from the welcome amiibo update whose whole schtick was being a reference to another Nintendo IP. In Inkwell's case, he was a reference to Splatoons.

24:10 Kapp'n and his family are based off a mythological creature too

I started playing New Leaf again a few weeks back while recovering from surgery. Honestly the best game so far. Looking at it makes me sad about New Horizons, especially when it comes to villager interactions. NH's villagers just feel...empty. Not nearly as much variation in dialogue, and those of the same personality just feel like cookie cutter copies. :/

I found your videos around 2 weeks ago and I can’t stop binging them. I had ZERO prior exposure to animal crossing beforehand but now i’m itching to try it out. like i’m about to just get a switch just to play new horizon because of your content! I hope you blow up because your content is great. Your use of footage and images and the timing of your transitions between in the background while you explain something is good. and I love the touch of seeing your villager being expressive!

24:23 the Dodos that went extinct are punching the air rn Elijah smh ....

The thing about Festivale is that (as far as I know) it is based on the Carnival dates from Latin countries, which always happens 40 days before Easter irl

BABE WAKE UP ROCKET ELIJAH POSTED

My Isabelle and Town Hall figure sit proudly in my home now. I was 13 in 2013 and had just been pulled out of school as I had been horribly bullied for many years there finally resulting in me being assaulted at school by a group of classmates with bats in the P.E changing rooms. It was an incredibly difficult time for me but after weeks of not leaving my house my mam suggested we take a walk around our local city centre. It was a school day so no worry about running into those who hurt me. We walked around and i remembered that today was the day the new Animal Crossing game released and I'd played hundreds of hours of Wild World. Well we went into GAME and saw it on the shelves. She bought the game for me as a way of cheering me up and we mentioned to the guy serving us that we didn't pre order the game but I'd been going through a hard time and I was so excited to just be holding it. He went into the back and came back with the figures and said they had a few spare and he could give us one. It's been over 10 years since then. I have my own home and those figures sit on a shelf in my living room. New Leaf changed my life and let me experience friendships during a time when i was incredibly lonely. Thank you for letting me get this out there. I love Animal Crossing.

29:25 That was a really cool feature! I can remember that I caught a tarantula when the sun was still up. I thought the whole scenario, catching a night creature by day, looked very cool. 😂

6:31 I've never seen a video become outdated so fast, Pashmina was just announced for Pocket Camp.

I think Festivale is based on Mardi Gras, which happens on the Tuesday 40 days before Easter, not including Sundays. So that would explain the weird equation thing

I will never not be mad at how lame most of the gold tools are in NH.

Just wanna say I love your content! I just found you recently and I've been binging everything C:

For the T&T Hours under Night Owl Ordnance, it makes reference to these mini market store who opens early in the morning and close at night.

Pashmina was introduced to Pocket Camp just today! :D

Yesssss! I listen to your videos like it’s a podcast as I work or play video games and this video exactly what I needed tonight!

I played Wild World so much as a kid but I never knew Shampoodle was actually in the game because you have to do wireless/online to unlock it with the final nook shop upgrade.

Thanks for keeping me company on a working late night Christmas Eve Eve 😍🙏🏻

"pashmina never appeared in pocket camp" what utterly horrible timing she's arrived now, like 12 hours after you dropped this video

11:20 Just to give a little context. Since Festivale is based on Brazilian Carnival the time frame makes a lot o sense since in Brazil Carnival happens too 40 before easter, a period of what is Called quaresma that starts at the ashes wensday, christian traditon where you not supposed to eat meat, besides fish, and don't have parties, if I remember correctly. This period last for 40 days until easter's Sunday. Jus a curiosity

I love watching your detail videos.

Speaking of Animal Crossing Nintendo Selects releases, there were some copies of City Folk released so late that they literally have printed, on the box, that the Wii Wi-fi servers were shutting down and would become unusable not long after purchase

Frita is based off the word that fries comes from; frites. So she's a walking meal of a burger, hot dog, and fries.

OK, so, Dodos are not a mythological creature, they are an animal that existed in real life, but has long long ago gone extinct. So, it still does not make sense why they exist in Animal Crossing, since they went extinct, but they are not a mythological creature. Just a flightless bird that no longer exists on Earth. Now Drago on the other hand, he's not only a mythological creature, that being a dragon, but he's based on the Chinese design of dragons, commonly referred to in America as the "Eastern dragon" due to the West being North America and Asian territories being on the literal other half of Earth that America and Canada do not exist at

Your videos swamping my recommended has convinced me to buy a 3ds for new leaf, can't wait to try it

OMG ANOTHER 30 MINUTES VIDEO THANK YOU 😭

As soon as I heard about the Nintendo selects case I thought it felt familiar, turns out I unintentionally have the special case :D at least the non welcome amiibo version from back when I bought the game

The "You paid your loan music" is the best music in the entire gameverse 🤩

Update on Pocket Camp: Pashmina is added, along with Papi the horse and two others. I love your videos.

btw, Desert Island Escape comes from the most hated Animal Crossing spinoff game: Amiibo Festival. The Welcome Amiibo update ported that game mode to be playable in New Leaf. And, if you don't care playing multiplayer in that game, the New Leaf version is far superior than the original. The New Leaf version has compatibility with the Animal Crossing Amiibo card series, while the Amiibo Festival version only let you use Amiibo figures designed for that game. And if you don't have Animal Crossing Amiibo cards, for the price of a couple 3DS Play Coins, you can take any regular villager in your New Leaf town, and put them in the minigame. Animal Crossing Puzzle League btw, like Pokemon Puzzle League/Puzzle Challenge, is a different franchise version of the Japan exclusive puzzle game Panel de Pon. Panel de Pon is where the Smash Bros item "Lip's Stick" comes from, a flowery staff held by what can be considered the protag of that game, being the character "Lip". It's also the game where all the "Puzzle League" games come from, as I stated earlier. Animal Crossing Puzzle League though, is different than a mere reskin of Panel de Pon, as it has Animal Crossing Amiibo figure support to change your special attack in the minigame, when the default special attack is bad, as it basically does a line clear from Tetris, on the highest row that has any panels in it, if I remember right. Special attacks was not something in Panel de Pon. btw, if anyone wants to play Panel de Pon, it's on the Switch Online app of the console it was released on initially. I still say it's Japan exclusive despite being able to access it on America accounts, because there's been no effort put towards translating the game. It's still in Japanese

The winter solstice isn’t always December 21. Sometimes it’s the 20th,22nd,or 23rd. Same for the summer solstice in June.

I think it'd be cool if they brought back those special crossover villagers from ACNL: Welcome Amiibo to New Horizons or to the next AC game. They looked really cool, and gave another use to the amiibos people had

I have never played animal crossing new leaf but these facts are good

I love quirky info I never knew😮‍💨

Hopefully the next AC game will bring back amino villagers like Inkwell….

RE video on New Leaf: *exists* the profits: through the roofs

i didnt have the chance to grow up with a ds but last year my roommate gave me her old one along with new leaf and a zelda game and I love it so much! i had only played new horizons in the ac franchise so i didnt expect myself to have more fun with nl than nh but its so cute i love it! just wish i didnt have to go to tortimers everyday to make my character my irl skin color lol

funfact to the festivale date thingy,in germany we celebrate carnival from 11th november till ash wednesday (cuz on this date the period of fasting starts) on the monday before ash wednesday is a big parade called ‚Rosenmontagsumzug‘ (rose monday parade), this festival Rosenmontag always falls on the 40 days before eastern excluding sundays equation thingy, so it‘s easier than one might think c:

love your videos!

Im curious as to why inkwell wasn’t added back but the Sanrio character did

ANOTHER ROCKET ELIJAH VIDEO YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

Villager also wears the NTDO 1889 shirt in MK8

Wished New Horizons had a minigame or two with the Switch furniture item.

the way he said tobidase hurt 😭

I still don’t get why a lot of fruits are still missing in NH

4:54 it's just an espresso with sugar free/dark chocolate syrup, doesn't sound that bad if you're used to a low sugar lifestyle

I learned something new about my religion in a video about animal crossing… weird, I had no clue the last supper was a Passover feast but it makes sense

Happy early birthday

How did u get that shirt? It is sick

Do people not know that festivale is based on the day before lent? Maybe that’s just that my home partake in lent traditions, including a festivale - type celebration, so I knew what it was about prior to playing AC

26:30 100million???? You sure about that 💀 8:49 this is also the same villager that is in Mario kart 8 13:30 Kicks is just a separate shop next to the able sisters, not part of it

I still think New Leaf is the best in the series

Yeah when I found out frogs don’t use Umbrellas i checked Zucker the next rainy day and apparently Octopuses use umbrellas which is even more weird then if the frogs did!

God I miss New Leaf. New Horizons made lots improvements but really only in decorating. Everything else is just lackluster compared to New Leaf.

Lmfao how you made Persimmon (or Khaki) sound like a fantasy fruit. Eat it all the time, very popular in Japan, cotton towels made out of the fibres. Also very popular in Africa and can be fount in most grocery stores around the world.

me who never played new leaf: interesting…

This is somewhat unrelated but my 3ds Xl (the snes skin if that changes anything) camera isn’t working, my sd got corrupted a while ago but i replaced it. My inner camera doesn’t work still, outer does. I can’t open “Camera” “AR games” but I can play face raiders (since it’s only inner camera). Does anyone know how to fix my outer camera? At this point I already got my photos off from whje I was younger but I just want to be able to use my camera again. Summary: can anyone help fix my 3ds camera EDIT: I modded it to have homebrew but it was wayyyy after the camera broke so that didn’t break it . It broke 2020 ish and I modded it like a couple weeks ago

Marshal sent me actual LOVE letters DAILY in New leaf. Safe to say I ador him.

A mocha with no milk or sugar would be made with a sugar free dark chocolate sauce and hot water and depending on the store and size of drink either 2 shots of espresso or 4.

I actually have pashmina on my new leaf account, she’s one of my fav villlagers

Frita is my best girl! Her fry-styled wool is so charming.

6:32 Just opened Pocket Camp and Pashmina is now available lol

IS THIS A 100 DAYS IN NEW LEAF FORESHADOWING

Wait, so I won't be able to go to Tortimers island?!?!??!!

In Germany we dirst celebrate Karnival, which is what festivalé is based on, after that it's 40 days fasting time, which ends with easter. So yeah, makes sense.

I miss new leaf. I wish I still had a 3DS :(

Rocket Elijah has a DA in ACNH

Wow now I REALLY miss NL.

I knew I had a perfect fruit... I sold it

It's kind of weird that in a video about new leaf most of the video footage and some facts are about new horizons

New Leaf is still my favourite, hands down.

13:30 i don't think kicks is connected

Festivalè is just Carnival and the Carnival Monday is 40 days before easter. Don't you have Carnival in the USA? In Germany, especially around Cologne, it's a very big thing. In Germany Festivalè is just called Karneval (Carnival in German).

please please please make a video about fake animal crossing rumors / leaks i wanted to watch a vid ab that but couldnt find one …

Good night

The guide is partially lying, what it says about Carnivale is based on what some NPCs say about the date being 40 days before Bunny Day. This is because Carnivale is based on Mardi Gras, the real world event that takes place about 50 days before Easter Sunday (including weekends). So, in practicality, Festivale is almost certain to take place during the week of Pancake Tuesday in the newer games due to the AC games sticking fairly tightly to real world holidays.

does kap'n not count as mythological 🤔

24:22 Shino is a demon

I just got a lemon from Tiffany for some reason because Bruce wanted to give Tiffany a shirt, apparently lemons are delicious 😐 Edit: 2 months later Tiffany moved out, I feel bad

I want to ask, am I a bad or morally inferior person for liking how nice the villagers are in this game? Am I a bad person for liking the calm and cozy nature of Animal Crossing New Leaf? I've seen so many messages talking about people who like nice villagers like they are objectively bad for doing so and that they should feel like bad people for the villagers being nicer in the later games. I can't even escape my curse in a series like Animal Crossing, and I'm getting tired of feeling like I'm perpetually a bad person for enjoying anything.

The best animal crossing game I have played it is a good game I recommend it unfortunately online multiplayer for new leaf and wild world will be shut down in April 2024 but local and street pass multiplayer will remain

Nintendo 100% owns Monolith Soft

26:30 New Leaf did not sell 100 million copies. It only sold 13 million worldwide.

I love random and stupid game facts

New Horizons is good, but man they fumbled quite a few features from New Leaf. Especially amiibo functionality. RIP RV's and Crossover Villagers (except the Sanrio ones). You are missed.

Happy Toy day ❤

now play 100 days in this game

why do you always accent the NEW in new leaf instead of the LEAF in new leaf. it makes it sound like there’s an “animal crossing leaf” that you’re trying to differentiate it crom

A lot of people are talking about how they like New Leaf better than Horizons. And that's fair, I'm not gonna argue. Just thought I'd toss my opinion out there too. For me, I much prefer New Horizons over New Leaf. Sure, there's aspects about New Horizons I don't like. I hate tool durability, I'm not fond of how nice and friendly villagers are 24/7, and I still hate that there's no way to force the shops open 24/7. I also wish there was a way to take every shop that can spawn on Harv's, and move them onto your island as an actual placeable shop, woulda been nice to make a proper Main Street. BUT.... There's so much going for New Horizons for me. I liked New Leaf, don't get me wrong, but like every other Animal Crossing I've played before it, I ran out of things to DO. It didn't take very long for me to run out of things I really needed to get done. So I'd load up my game when I woke up, get my money rock, check the shops and beach, find the fossils and donate 'em, sell whatever I don't need that I've picked up, do whatever I need to do for that day (like buying clothes or talking to someone), then turn the game off until the next day. There just wasn't much to keep me IN the game after a bit. With New Horizons, there's more to do. Right off the bat, you have Nook Miles. Unlike the Meow Coupons in New Leaf, they infinitely generate and you can grind out miles if you want. Having Nook Miles also means more to buy and buying more often. Nook Miles also leads to the Mystery Islands and Kapp'n's boat rides, so that's more to do. Add in the outside decorating, which can add SO much more play time for someone that enjoys decorating and building like myself. Sure, building and decorating can get to a point where you run out of stuff to build and decorate, buuuut, it's still gonna last way longer than New Leaf's just house building. And then even more... Add on the Happy Home Paradise DLC and hoooo boy. Now you essentially have Pocket Camp mixed with a Creative Mode, and 30 houses to decorate however you want, with new tools and decorations to play with, all of which get unlocked for your main island use. And you get all the items and stuff that comes with the DLC too. Plus eventually being able to re-decorate your villager's homes. Like, the amount of just pure STUFF to keep the player from turning the game off, is ridiculous, and WAY more than the previous Animal Crossing games have. Do I think New Leaf, and even other AC games did some stuff better? Yeah, sure. Definitely. But I don't think those negatives knock New Horizons down a notch for me. It's still my favorite because of the sheer amount of stuff to do. I can keep playing it, I don't have to just stop because I ran out of stuff. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure eventually I'll get to a point where I'm low on things to do, and get bored, and I'll stop playing for a while like I did with New Leaf. But it's gonna take a lot longer for that point to come.

Fun fact: Dodo birds existed at one point, but they went extinct Probably because they ate rocks and couldn't fly due to eating rocks

anyone wanna play new leaf? I got it 2 days ago

Dodos are real! They went extinct in 1680 😢

Hey Elijah, love your videos… that’s not the reason for Easter 😅 please don’t mention things you don’t know about.

Not first

First????
