As someone recreating my Gamecube town, I can safely say that the 42 acres in NH isn't all land. It counts the water. In terms of spaces, when I was measuring it, the NH island is shorter, but also wider. (Not counting the beaches, only grass.)
@@finestcustard5647 God I would love that. Just the ability to make my island bigger would be great. Would also make diving easier with less places for stuff to spawn. XD
@einweitereruser New Horizons is the only one that I can get any enjoyment out of. The amount of content in NH compared to all the other games is massive.
@@floofyyyI never grew up with animal crossing and haven’t played any other game in the series but the graphics going from very pixelated to the beautiful designs of new horizons in a few years is crazy
As someone who only played ACNH, I gotta say, the furniture and clothing along with customization/furniture are WAYY BETTER, but the other games seem a little more fun and adventurous than New Horizons.
they are, mainly new leaf. it has a ton of things to do and constantly upgrade one by one, and things feel a little more alive. in wild world, you can’t upgrade as many things, but it’s charming and the town is again more alive, with the snarky dialogue and the filler holidays. it’s great.
New Leaf might be small, but they did have the smarts to separate out some of the shops and buildings onto Main Street. The Main Street has the Museum, Nooks Homes, The Post Office, The Nookling Store, The Able Sisters, The Happy Home Showcase, Kicks Shoes, The Dream Suite, Club LOL and Katrina's Fortunes, along with The Garden Center before it gets absorbed into the Nookling Store. The forest section has, at most Town Hall, Town Square, Re-tail, The Roost Cafe, The Reset Center and The Police Station, along with up to 10 villager homes, 4 player houses and the public works projects. The result is that the town doesn't end up feeling that small.
Redoing the city into main street was the best idea the team had, especially since you could run right up to it, and didn't have to sit through Kapp'n singing then chatting with you, just so you could go shopping at Gracie's. I must have spent a year's income at Gracie's in both games!!
Fun fact about wild world map. The older versions only allowed for two sides and no third land mass. My cousin had a newer copy and I was so jealous of that land mass.
Those cliffs were why I hated City Folk, because it was so annoying having to follow a single route to go from top to bottom. One way to help players (and to know where to place paths) was the grass wear. It was forced to happen, because you couldn't take a different route down a cliff, you had to take the ramp. So, many players covered their worn grass with designs.
I actually really want a remaster or remake of the OG AC with some qol updates. It looks really fun, and they could add in some of the new villagers and such.
I'd say if you can get your hands on a GameCube or backwards compatible wii, that the original is still very playable today, in my opinion. The biggest annoyance to me was that you have to mail out every fossil you find and wait for them to come back before knowing what they are. The game can still be very expensive these days, so there is that. I would also love to see it in HD with some qol, but basically untouched dailogue
The original ac is the only one i had ever played before acnh. You can imagine my disappointment when discovering that the personalities in characters are lacking in acnh. Acnh is a really cool new concept and still fits the theme of ac but i wish it had more life. Og ac was way more fleshed out when it came to characters.
@@Insert.Oregano THIS. WII's are pretty cheap these days, like 70 bucks for a brand new one. You can even get a japanese one and hack it super easily if you wanna be bougie. I used to buy,hack, and sell WII's back in the day lmao. Would include an HDD with literally every wii and gamecube ever made in both english and japanese. Amazing way to make a quick buck.
@@Insert.Oreganowow I expected to say “it’s too expensive to play the original” but it’s pretty affordable. Guess you’re right and it’s a great option.
I restarted my animal crossing town on GC a lot. I had a town with 3 tiers once and a town with a small island along the beach as well! It blew my little 10 year old mind seeing the island or 3 tiers haha
I just wish Nintendo would've added Welcome Amiibo to NH. All the furniture from different Nintendo games and the furniture from the Sable sisters shop were gorgeous.
@@WS_Studios turns out that pocket camp is anonymously large, but this is due to the fact that there's mini parts of the area, so it could be unknown.🤔
@@ducklord3604 New Horizons does lack a bit of feeling that you live in a living, breathing, autonomous town with how much control you simply have over everything. It's just different, and many people love AC for letting us be part of the community in its towns. New Horizons is so much more a game of "here is a sandbox, build whatever you imagine" which is just a big shift away from what the series originally was, and what captivated fans in the past. Nostalgia is probably there for most longtime fans, but it's very shortsighted to chalk up criticism to nostalgia alone.
@@ducklord3604 as someone who was introduced to both New leaf and new horizons at a pretty similar time, and hasn’t had a enough time with either game to get nostalgic for them, I do gotta say that new leaf is a more fleshed out experience Sure new horizons has better town customization, but it doesn’t have much else over new leaf. Upon release it didn’t even have gyroids, it has less shop upgrates, lots of features like Brewster and Kapp’n were added haphazardly in updates because of upset fans, and it overall feels more hollow. A lot of the joy in new leaf came from upgrading your town and watching your game grow, while that just isn’t as present in new horizons. At least not in the long term of playing that game It’s just not as enriching as previous titles, and is completely vapid if you’re not interested in the artistic side of the game.
@@ducklord3604 Bruh, the sheer amount of removed content is insane. We literally have missing sets, and the only crossover we got was Mario- credit where due since they updated the items but still. Not even the Splatoon series made it back, which is odd since they were made by similar teams.
I played acww pretty much my whole life I’ve had the same game card since I was 5 I’m almost 22 and never knew you could have islands I’ve never had them I’m not about to reset my town just to get one though since I got the last nooks upgrade a couple years ago after my sister bought a new copy of wild world but it crashes sometimes :(
42 is too big imo! I know other people loved it but for me it felt too overwhelming in terms of travel and management. I do really think for some games smaller is better.
Tbh, I think less is more in this scenario. In both GC and NH I frequently find myself bored of trekking all over the place for different things. I kinda like having all my stuff close together.
I want them to blend all the games together. The freedom of Nh with gameplay and town like map of NL, gracie grace and a town area from City and the mean dialogue from gamecube and wild world [i might of mixed a few up]
You should see the pocket world, its tiny and its not even a town its a tent floor and a hammock. I got introduced to animal crossing from this game and I thought the rest of the games would've been just as bad lol 😭
i started playing ac at wild world, then got every game after but never played the OG i wish they'd remaster it bc i wanna play it but i don't wanna buy a whole gamecube lol
Still playing new leaf and it was the best AC ever. New horizons looks nice, but at the end it’s more a decorating simulator than an actual animal crossing game! Gameplay? What gameplay? 😅
Animal crossing is my first AC game and like… where has it been my whole life. Why bother doing productive things in the real world when I can do them in AC instead!
One of the things that annoyed me more than it reasonably should have was the map in City Folk. I can't get used to the fact that the higher elevation is darker. It just looks wrong. Great game, tho. Wish it had its own soundtrack, even if Wild World is one of my favorites. More AC music is always better
I have animal crossing wild world and Im thinking about buying city folk. I heard that the map is bigger and you don’t need online players to buy something from your village to get nookington’s and it brought back holidays AND there’s more to do in the game. Despite this people still prefer wild world and I don’t get it. Some people might be blinded by nostalgia, but can someone explain this to and if I should buy it?
I realized… On Gamecube you could have 15 villagers, wild world is 8 villagers due to ds limitations i assume, city folk & beyond is 10 villagers What a downgrade… Even New Horizons didn’t expand the villager capacity
As someone who only played GC then ACNH, I'd say yes, the game is better in general, defs more space, more customization, great, but when did they drop the animals giving you favours? In the original you could just ask if they needed anything and each animal would make up pointless fetch or delivery quests on the fly.
Meanwhile, Animal Crossing mods for Minecraft can have billions of acres and large multiplayer features despite not even being an Animal Crossing game.
New leaf is still a lot better than new horizons and I miss the old style and feel of the older games like wild world it’s lost some charm especially with the bland villagers now
