I Spent 100 Days In Animal Crossing...on the Nintendo Gamecube 

I miss the villagers starting off indifferent or outright mean in the older games, made it more satisfying to become friends with them

My sister was maybe 6 or 7 and she wrote a letter to Kiki. But because she was so young, the letter was a mess. In English, it would look something like "helo kiki i hop you wil like my gifft" We played this game for years, and every once in a while, I'd talk to Kiki and she would be so excited to show me this really sweet letter she got. It got to the point where my sister was older and would be embarrassed to see it. But there was also something deeply charming, like Kiki just kept this three years-old letter with her at all time because she liked it so much. She also stayed in the village forever, and was one of our favorites to talk to. Fast forward like 15 years, and Kiki was one of the villagers moving in early in the game on my island in ACNH, and it felt like stumbling back on an old friend. She doesn't have that letter anymore, but I remember my sister on speakerphone, visiting me from her Switch, and just SCREAMING when she found out Kiki was here. And she's still as sweet. So yes, please do protect Kiki at all costs.

Lol Marcy moving in and then immediately moving out happened to me, but with Pierce. eight year old me was so offended. i was like, "ohhhh i get it!! my town isn't good enough for you, IS IT?! IS IT?!"

I giggled when I heard "We got Redd on our island" we've been so conditioned from news horizions 😆

Did you know your Villagers can just plain rob you in this game? They can see something in your pockets and then FORCE you to give it to them, and there's no way to back out. IIRC they do give you something in return but still. So, imagine this. I am playing this game and I didn't have a bed. I really WANTED a bed, my poor villager was sleeping on the floor. One day I walk into Nook's Cranny, and I see it, a bed. I finally get my bed after weeks of sleeping on the floor. I buy it instantly. I then walk around town, none the wiser to this little feature. I come across Bunnie. She runs up to me suddenly, and forces me to give her my precious bed. She already HAS a bed. I want to keep my bed but I am given no choice. I have to give up my bed to Bunnie. I stare at my screen in shock and horror. I have to wait for Nook to sell another bed. Again. My rage for Bunnie increases. Hatred, Malice, all in my veins over this fictional rabbit. This virtual THIEF. She then starts singing and dancing, the little swindler is proud of what she did. My contempt is now permanent. I hate this rabbit so much, You don't need another bed Bunnie I know you don't have a boyfriend, girlfriend or any kind of partner, you just wanted the light to fade from my eyes you cruel fiend. Anyways the Gamecube game is probably my favorite, even though I started with New Leaf (and its many QOL improvements)

Man I love the older animal crossing games. They made it so clear that the place exist without you. You are new here and you better try to fit in. They don't need you. I love that. New Horizons turned you into a god and everything is at your will. It took away to much personality from the game.

The non negotiable hats are such an interesting choice

I love how the entire video he refers to his town as an island, despite the island thing not being around until the newest entry 😅

The spikes in this game are set to be 8x the buying price! So if you really want to gamble, it's definitely worthwhile to go in on the expensive turnips - that's why it was so high here

I like the older games because the Villagers actually get mad and can be quite rude, which is great, because that breaks up the monotony.

As someone completely new to the franchise, I can say I absolutely adore this game! When I heard about AC I decided to start at the beginning, and I'm just a little over my first 100 days. It's so quirky and unique and the absolute best de-stresser when I come home from work.

“Nook is buying bells at 60 bells a pop” 🤔

its really funny to me how his skin color just changes like 42 minutes in

I just reached the letter part of the video and I think I remember that you have to write full sentences back then, no slang, no short letters, you basically had to write little essays otherwise they would react like they did here. The original AC was absolutely wild but it's always so nostalgic to be back. Makes we want to get out my GC and visit my town from 2004 with its 4 paid off houses ... I have an AC problem XD

The GameCube is amazing I can’t even begin to expect explain how nostalgic this game is for me! Ahhh I’d do anything to go back to those simpler times. Playing early Saturday mornings at my grandparents house. Smell of Coffee and cinnamon toast filling the air. My grandpa playing the guitar with animal crossing music going on in the background. Sunrise peeking through the window. Grandma said friends can spend the night and we can order pizza!! Make a fort out of pillows and play animal crossing all day n night long ♥️

26:42 I loved the mean characters. When you became friends with them it felt rewarding. In real life, people also start becoming nicer to you when you are nice to them. In Animal Crossing New Horizons, they act like you're a celebrity, an icon or a pop culture figure, which always felt wrong to me. You could do anything with the villagers, they seemed to have the same individualism as a computer. Which is a shame, because imo Animal Crossing used to have so much personality in each character back then.

12:39 I think a Pokemon Pikachu was this weird Tamagotchi thing that encouraged walking

100 days? Cute. I spent my whole childhood in this game. 😤

6:50 bro when you said "island" just broke my heart... *all the way up to new horizons they have been called towns*

Ngl hearing you drop everything off to your wife, who can appreciate the game at its fullest, it's super heart warming.

I wish villagers in New Horizons could at least have some sort of personality. I would love to have a villager that absolutely hates me "A saturday summer night in the summertime" lol

I love the original GameCube Animal Crossing, I used to play it all the time Thanks for reminding me of those good memories

I love this! I never had a gamecube so I missed out on this piece of history. But I still have my copy of wild world from when I was a kid and this makes me want to go back and play. So quiet and simple and the animals are so fun to talk to. I love how mean they are. I hope your wife enjoys the town!!!

idk why it's bugging me so much that you didn't seem to know this trick, but you should have kept four letters in your mail section of your pockets so you can store your tools in them and use the extra space as, you know, Inventory. Keep the letters ppl have sent to you so you don't accidentally mail your shovel to the museum or something. Anyways, great video! Take my likes and may many more come your way as well.

26:11 I remembered back in the days. I used to bring the coconuts back home, planted them nearby the beach. Then make some random separate save files and travel to different towns and bring back home the foreign fruit trees to make bank.

An amazing series! I’m still shocked how the turnips was 1004 bells/turnip! Anyway, thank you for letting me experience this retro throwback! 🥰

I played the gamecube AC as a kid for over a YEAR before I even learned fishing rods were in the game. Nook never sold them. I refuse to forgive him for that. Love the video!

Dang Luigi doesn't get his own name used. You out here just calling him green Mario. Like there is an entire L on his hat. Whoo this cracked me up 🤣😂. GREAT video!

Bro the Gamecube logo looks so good it looked like it was edited in at first XD

I played Animal Crossing on the GameCube when I was very very young, and when I was still young I played New Leaf (never exactly the same but very similar). Watching his video made me feel so nostalgic… remembering all the little details missing from New Leaf. God. This video made me feel quite happy.

congrats, you've made me a boomer at age 22, because i now know what 60 year olds feel like when they see infants get confused by old technology

oh damn, all the nostalgia coming back. i grew up on this game. I think I was like in 4th or 5th grade when my parents bought me a game cube and this was the first game they got me. i remember all the commercials they had promoting it lols!

so much nostalgia for this game although it doesn’t have as much that makes all the fun things that do happen that much more special. I’m only 17 but ACGC was my first Animal Crossing and my first video game and ive been hooked since quite honestly I was so surprised when New Horizons shot up in popularity even more so than new leaf did it bring more people to the community : ) also imo the music is the best in this one 💃🏼

You're better then i was at bellmaking, as a kid i just grinded catching red snappers and zebra fish until i was at the end

So cute for you to do that for your wife

I'd think it'd be cool if you made a video talking about the upgrades & features added from game to game. Its interesting seeing the progression of this series. As a bonus maybe even mention what features were dropped. Your videos are a lot of fun to watch, keep up the great work. 😃

I found a little money making strategy in this game that few people seem to know about. If you set your time to early or mid April, you can fish up mostly Red Snappers and Barred Knife Jaws in the ocean and make a pretty good profit from fishing. Sea Bass become much less common durn this time. Not sure if this was intentional or a coding over sight but it's great!

Every time he referred to the town as island, I just smiled. Brother loves New Horizons 😂😂😂

Your story telling is just great! You manage to make it neither obvious whats next nor make one feel misguided while being so interesting. Fantastic content! :)

This is why I don't do turnips. It's too much of a gamble so I just sell bugs, fish,fossils and maybe ore (for new leaf) to make bells

I've been going back to play the gamecube version a bit lately (actually made a new villager so I could preserve my childhood save while still starting anew) and it's really been so much fun just rediscovering it all again absolutely loved this video!

This video just so happens to've been uploaded on the day I started playing Animal Crossing. Kinda cool seeing the game's roots. The differences remind me of differences in The Sims 1 and 2 compared to The Sims 3 and 4. More edge and quirkiness, although the later games have personality and lots of gameplay too. Obtaining stuff you needed was way harder. The character creator/customization and building mechanics weren't as fleshed out as they became in later games.

Animal Crossing is a popular video game where players get to live in a virtual town with animal characters. In the game, players can go fishing, catch bugs, and decorate their homes. They can also make friends with other animal residents and participate in various activities. Overall, Animal Crossing is a fun and engaging game that allows players to create their own virtual world and enjoy a relaxing gaming experience.

This man legit spent 2400 hours in animal crossing… that’s dedication!

The best way I found as a kid to make bells was fishing for red snappers and barred knife jaws. Or if you know how, the duplication glitch

Randomly started by stumbling onto the wild world one which made me a bit nostalgic and i got this game in my childhood too but more after. Been a blast. 🥰

This was actually so fun to watch. I never got into animal crossing but now I really want to.

Nook gets a bad rep but the dudes a hero!, Interest free mortgage with no upfront deposit after zero credit checks and he even offers you a job. My guy sees a stranger without a penny to his name and takes a chance on you! Who would do that for a homeless dude IRL?!?

18:30 iirc, spikes in this game are always 8x the amount joan sold the turnips for. so it's actually better to buy high if you want to make a large profit.

I had no idea turnip spikes could be over a 1000 bells. I still haven't picked my jaw up off the floor from seeing that.

This was so relaxing to watch! 🥰

I remember feeding the island villager through the gameboy (with coconuts) made it poop out bells. No idea how I remember that years later but yeah

Amazing video dude. Love to see it. Surprised it doesn’t have that many views though. Maybe just need to promote this channel more on rocketsloth. Tbh I wouldn’t mind if this was just on your main channel 😊

I love this video a lot and watched it all the way through! Your content is great keep it up!

Omg, the responses to letters killed me!!! I want these sassy villagers back !

Going to have so much nostalgia watching this. I can remember that intro train like it was yesterday

Did you know that the oldest animal crossing game is actually not the gamecube version but the Japanese exclusive that was named Dōbutsu no Mori (lit. "Animal Forest")

It was kitty who burried the live Hamster, once you dug up the evidence they had to flee the crime scene 😂

Please keep this kind of gameplay going!! I love AC

This is the first game i ever played back in the early 2000s. So many great memories

Stationary is crazy valuable in Population Growing. Getting it as a reward for errands is great.

Elijah:nothings gonna distract us were paying things off Also Elijah:ooo Tom nook is selling a tv 4:00

Who else was yelling “sell the shells!!!!” 😅

"What's a Lil Bro shirt? WHAT!? Clever I'm green Mario now! "💀 😂😂😅

Still my favorite game in the series. There was just such a unique charm to the first Animal Crossing. I wish certain stuff carried over to the later games like the journal, playable game consoles, and random sports balls you can kick around. And I wish the villagers still had unique personalities and a variety of interesting dialogue. Now a days they’re just bland, repetitive, and serve as more of a decoration to your island than an actual fun npc to interact with. I still want to one day play the game everyday for an entire year. The closest I’ve gotten was 7 months.

The playability in this version was never owning the $60 guide book and having to figure out as a child that new stuff came in and out of the game every month, fish, bugs, vendors, etc. Then you had to try and finish the collections at the museum. I remember having to barrow a cable from my friend to connect my GBA to the game cube just to experience "coconut island". I would time travel to the new year event just so I could get mailed 10000 Bells. Once you found out you could catch coelacanth and how much they would sell for??? rainy days were the best days. No other game at that time worked on "real time" or had changing seasons. It was a real game changer back then

Leaving your AC world to your wife was really sweet. They really need to bring back those playable NES games though

Loved the video. Your grind to becoming a bellionaire was quite the journey. So much fun seeing the little nuances of the original title. Writing letters and taking them to the post office had so much charm to it.

Dude when he said "I'm green mario now" I started cracking up lol i had a gamecube since i was like 1-3? idk but i never had animal crossing on it.. now that i know that there is animal crossing gamecube i am buying it now

A really cool challenge would be getting a BRONZE statue. That would require paying off three full debts. I've never even seen the silver statue. It wouldnt be 3x as hard tho since your money goes up exponentially with the stalk market

the little "who are you? ... okay hi" everytime he sees a new villiager is really adorable :D

Animal Crossing was originally released (in Japan only) on Nintendo 64. 15 seconds on Wikipedia would have been enough to verify.

I just found your channel and I'm loving the content. The Stalk Market was a wild ride. Tank is my favorite villager, I love that cute little swol rhino.

It's so nostalgic seeing og animal crossing game play

Y'know, 100 days doesn't seem like that much at first because most 100 days videos go by in-game time, but then you realize that Animal Crossing synchronizes the game time with real time. So this video probably took over 3 months to make😨. Props to Elijah for this

A little off topic, but Quetzal and his design is so cool! I wish he returns to recent games.

I love how this game was real with it almost a bit like in life. As in not everyone is instantly nice to you.

Your Definitely Underrated! You deserve more Viewers for this good content 😤

New Horizons was my introduction to Animal Crossing so I never saw any of the earlier ones. I love that you left your island for your wife.

it's called fishing at night, stocking up on red snappers and paying off all your debt in a few weeks tops xD But this was entertaining

I really like this video. It pisses me off that they left this game rot on the GameCube and N64. I really wish I could have experienced it. Something about it just seems simpler than New Horizons. And it’s always nice to start with simpler games, learn the mechanics and whatnot and then just keep adding to that knowledge as subsequent games come out.

With ACNH being my first game in the series, and with Mallary being one of my favourite neighbours (who greets me with "well met, darling") and especially in light of how much I thought I wasn't gonna like her, it's so weird seeing her be this unpleasant.

The actual odds of a money tree producing money is so low in this game that it's never worth it to plant them. The fact that he was able to get so many to produce bells is a statistical anomaly

This was a great journey seeing you play 100 days one the GameCube and I hope you'll do something like that to other animal crossing games, keep up the good work!

0:02 ah yes, my favorite part of new leaf.

I actually got the gold statue on my GameCube game. Slowly paying off my other 3 loans on the other games I have 😅

My first Animal Crossing game was New Leaf and I used to get proper scared when Resetti told me off... I was like 14 or 15 then... jeeeezus, if I'd played the original AC I would have shat myself 🤣🤣🤣

I found a hamster in my recycling bin on acnh. These villagers are sick 😤

This was my first gamecube game. We got it with the special memory card. This game was legendary to me as a kid. It sucks to see the personality fade in it over the years.

Theres a lucrative way of making bells if you have a gameboy and an adaptor. If you plug it into the gamecube you can go to a island and drop fruit on the island. Then if you leave and play on the gameboy when you head back to town the islander can eat fruit and if they like it if they eat enough they drop bells.

Elijjai: *goes in nooks store* Nook: cualssy has the master sword

Every time he called it an island a notch of my spine got atomized…

Ahhh the good old days; ❤ this makes me want to replay the old titles ;;

I'm glad there's an active decompilation project for animal forest for the n64 so we can get a solid English translation of it. The current one doesn't work properly 😢

"Don't make Nook break your thumbs (0:20)" It's Tom Nook a relative to Duolingo ????

People have figured out that turnips in AC:GC spike up to 8x what they were on Sunday

OG animal crossing villagers are straight up vicious and i miss it sometimes

fun fact: this isnt first animal crossing game, there was one for i think n64 that was just made in japan

Planting a shovel in the golden light thing makes a good shovel tree which makes money trees grow better

Props to this man who had to spend 100 real life days in animal crossing
