Remember some of the classic aninmal crossing characters? Why weren't they included in animal crossing new horizons? Who all got left behind? Let's look.
Having Pelly, Phyllis, and Pete reduced to a terminal and a postcard rack has got to be one of the saddest downgrades in the history of animal crossing
The worst part is that I never saw anyone complain about how their existence was too tedious in past games and that they needed to be removed. If anything, people complain about them *not* being included in New Horizons. They easily could've been added in a separate room in the airport so people can send their mail to villagers and friends
For Frillard, I'm pretty sure there's a very rare line from Shrunk in New Leaf where he mentions his "old mentor" who's no longer around - which strongly suggests he was no longer alive.
I still can't believe they didn't add Digby to HHP. Why introduce so many new characters when they knew fans were waiting for the old ones? Even in New Leaf the poor guy was just standing out in the rain day and night 😭
I think espiecally because with the prmise that you could "build your own town" people expected that they could pick you know where the post office etc would go only for there to only be the really basic houses. But I think they were afraid to limit certain stuff to shops again, like mail or hairstyles
I was never able to play the mini games with friends in new leaf as I could hardly connect with the friend I currently have (the only one who plays animal crossing) but I do think it would be a fun way of connecting. Still new leaf also had its issues and I solved a major one for me by buying the new 3ds so I don't have to worry about villagers leaving without me knowing. It may not sound like a big deal but, I spent hours time traveling for certain villagers and then, finding out they just left when, I've been talking to them every day is crushing. Now I have that and a way to use amibos in new leaf.
Yeah. I was going to say I understand why she wasn't in new horizons but then I remembered they gave her a completely different role during the April fools event in new leaf. Plus, it's a handy way of earning villagers pics from villagers that aren't quite close to you yet.
I didn't get why Blanca were removed too, it was a funny thing They removed all the multi-player fun stuffs : Tropical Island game, Blanca, Katie and the bottle letters
I'm sure Nintendo removed characters like Joan, Nat and Chips simply because they did not fit the "cute" aesthetic Animal Crossing is now known for, just look how they were replaced with cute young looking characters. Its rather sad.
Exactly what i thought, its kinda frustrating to see Nintendo changing iconic parts of animal crossing just to fit to the more mainstream cuteness, since it just removes a lot of the diverse and unique character designs and even personality to just be cute and friendly
I miss Shrunk so much in NH, and subsequently miss Frillard. Same with the old bug-off and fishing tourney hosts, should’ve had flick and CJ be random visitors but kept Chip and Nat for the tourneys themselves
I miss the obscure NPCs like Wendell and Phineas.....Phineas I'm SUPER confused about sense....his scout badges would've been PERFECT for new horizons somehow...even if it was just 5 or 10 badges they still could've made Phineas work....Heck they honestly could've made most the NPCs work in the game if they just.....put more effort about it? Not saying that to be mean but there's so many left ot NPCS that easily fit in with New Horizons island theme that are just gone or NPCs that can still work with new horizons if they just thought about it some more-- Edit: also ID LOVE TO SEE THE OK MOTORS TRIO IN MAINLINE GAMES and Bring Blanca back 202k--something...
I really wish Rover had more participations on AC games, i always wanted him to have his own events so he would visit the island and see how the player is doing.
Maybe one day, there will be an Animal Crossing game that will have every single character including the characters that Nintendo forgot. Who’s knows when. We’ll just have to wait and see for ourselves.
i hate thinking that some characters got replaced and i just like to think they retired and their family took over like in the case of joan and daisy mae. like cj and flick are related to chip and nat. i just want to draw connections and keep the family involved instead of thinking they got cut entirely. keeps things hopeful that way almost lol
It's actually pretty wholesome if you're lucky to get either one of their cards (chip or nat) they'll invite the other and then talk about how proud they are of their sons. Strangely though, they are still being used for tourneys in pocket camp from time to time. Like this event. Nat is the host and Chip was in charge of the fishing event.
Gracie not being in New Horizons was honestly pretty disappointing to me. Even if her clothes and furniture were very expensive in the older games, many of the things she sold were my personal favorite clothes and furniture sets, especially the Gracie clothing set itself, so said items being expensive was honestly worth the extra effort to try and get them in my opinion.
What about the villagers you got for scanning Zelda and Splatoon Amiibo in New Leaf? As far as I know they are not in New Horizons, I would have loved to see them again.
to be fair with Rover, we only saw him once usually so I think his appearance in acnh is pretty nice. we get to see him once a year which is more than we got with other games
he failed to mention HARRIET. ik shes at harvs island, but the fact her entire career was first replaced by a MIRROR was heartbreaking to think about. she does still give unique hairstyles for everyday you visit her, but once you have them all, she essentially does nothing for the rest of the game.
I used to hide in the other room every time my brother opened City Folk for fear of Resetti 😅 But it means I have rather fond memories of him. Or I guess he’s nostalgic. Either way, I miss him a lot.
At least joan, Chip, and Nat got replced by by their relatives so it hurts less. Plus i wish gracie was added to maybe change the colors of clothes. I don't care if it made no sense logically, its annoying to only have one color of the shell dress and the able sisters refuse to sell the other colors. Like come on. And i also wish Reese would give you diys (minus the ones Celeste gives you) that you dont have as, the game loves to give you ones you already know to "share" with others. Which is annoying if you can't do that or don't know anyone to give them too. Why couldn't they just have it where new diys take priority over ones you already know? And in the dlc, your cook will give you new recipes first and then after you have them all, it will then repeat. Why couldn't they do it for the main diys?!? Like I'm pretty sure I'm only missing a gold rose wreath and i can't get them because my villagers keep giving me the same thing over and over and then, be surprised that i already knew it. They could have had Reese be the one to fix this. But no.
I would absolutely love for kappns family to return!!! They gave tortimers island so much personality, really id like to see tortimers island as a concept return, i miss all of new leafs minigames qwq
I'm alright with the characters cut from New Horizons, it's nice to think that they've gotten a chance to retire and settle down. I personally just really miss Pelly Phyllis and Pete. I'm sure an island souvenir post card station in the museum would've been nice :(
I weirdly miss washing Gracie's car and I don't like dealing with the 3rd able sister. I ignore her every time she comes to my island. I miss all of the old characters. They had so much personality. You know who would be fun too. Copper and Buster. They were just funny. Resetti was my boy. Definitely miss the post office characters. We should at least be able to visit them.
id love to see all my favorite forgotten boiz back in the game. but tbh in new leaf I got SO EXCITED every time i saw Phineas because I knew the badge man would give me a badge uwu
I literally somehow replaced my memory thinking Rover greeted you on the airplane to the island in New Horizons lmao. I guess I thought he should have so hard I made in reality in my head😂
It's sad how many interesting Characters New Horizons cut out. Sure, the game wanted you to focuse on building stuff yourself but that gets old pretty fast. I rather want to visit a shop every day and being excited about new Items I haven't seen before, giving my whole bells for it. or just wanna interact with interesting Characters instead of being at home, crafting the same fishing rod over and over again
In the roost Digby mentions working at an academy and the academy is actually the Happy Home-Room Academy from pocket camp where he’s one of the judges, so if you want more Digby then he is in pocket camp, not a big role but he’s there! Another thing is that Pete is still the postman in pocket camp as well
you forgot about Meow and Bow from Animal Forest E+, Meow sort of returned unofficially using a New Horizons mod, anyway I wanna see Meow and Serena return so they can be alongside my other favourites like Mitzi and Rosie and even Tabby, yes, I see adorableness behind Tabby's face, she's a sweetheart so don't judge her face
new horizons is just so empty feeling and i believe it's because of the lack of focus on the actual characters in the game. reducing them to cameos or just mentions, its ridiculous. They didn't even go about making new characters to "replace" most of them. Besides Daisy Mae and the other kids.... It goes to show how much content has actually been removed from the game.
0:16 lol it cracks me up every time you use this clip of this French acnh commercial in your videos, it’s a cringy ad with a pretty famous tv show host lol (the guy with white hair)
It really doesn’t make sense of how the happy home paradise cut Digby off and replaced him with a monkey. I mean Niko’s cute but like he wasn’t the before and Digby was there way before him and Lottie and Lyle are still there so why isn’t Digby there?
Meanwhile, Meow, Bow, and Tarou from Doubutsu no Mori E+: 💀 They’re three of my many favorite villagers, and i’m so sad they got pretty much erased after E+
I just repurchased a switch just too revisit and replay animal crossing as here lately I’ve been in such a acnh binge. But after doing so much watching of how new leaf was, city folk, and the very first game, makes me want to purchase a GameCube, a DS, and a Wii again to play those that I have never played. I’ve been interested in all the characters and the lore, and dark theories to the franchise. I’ve gone down such a rabbit hole here. Lol
They did my boy Rover dirty, HE HAD MORE SCREEN TIME IN MARIO MAKER 1 THEN NEW HORIZONS. AND IN CITY FOLK HE WAS AT LEAST THE SAVE FILE GOD WHEN HE WASN'T IN THE INTRO.
I remember in To the City (City Folk for yall non aussies) I had the guidebook of the game and always wanted to unlock Serena, For ages she's been my favourite Animal Crossing character even though I never unlocked her (Cause I was too young and dumb to know how to unlock the fountain in my town lol), so it's sad to see that she only showed up in that one game...
This is weird but the part where the villager is hitting the rock by the dump. It’s the exact same layout as my town only the grass is different. I thought it was footage from my ACGC gameplay lol
Resetti is still in game he works for rescue services wendell is still in game too he explores the dream world u just need to find him natt still exists the bug off celeste visits at night but i have seen pete b4 but it was rare
im so annoyed about kappn's family. i was so annoyed, in fact, that i scanned in his amiibo so i could have him and his family on my happy home paradise so i can go visit them. i did the same with joan (and daisy mae), and with wendell, and phineas..
The island in new horizons is so big, I would have loved to see more buildings. Being able to build up a whole city district and customize it would have been amazing. Even if you wanna say that it’ll ruin the deserted island feel, you could at least bring back the post office. And yeah, put Digby in the DLC
I would die to have Serena back on animal crossing! Like she’s so pretty. Girl literally looks like a princess. She needs to be back in animal crossing!! But how come she wasn’t big in the animal crossing community?? She needs to back in the game rn!
tHonestly now that you mentioned it, the mystery island update is kind of underwhelming. It feels like people mostly forgot about it except for the gyroids but really, that's all there is. Kappns family would have been so great to see, just in general Acnh left so many characters out of the game... When thinking about the old games and characters, acnh feels almost empty to some degree
I think Daisy mae says that She was helping out with the family business, I also think she mentions her grandma used to do it, Maybe Joan is Daisy’s grandma? I don’t know, i’m a new player for new horizons. Edit: She may have also mentioned that she was old enough to help out. They also look relatively similar. Also looking young, i noticed that from a youtube video.
