Which Animal Crossing Port is BEST?! N64 vs Gamecube | Port vs Port 

Always been blown away by the quality of the texture designs on Doubutsu no Mori N64 - easily some of the best on the system!

The 240p look honestly adds such a vibe to the game, very reflective of just how it felt to play those games on CRT, the colors in general seemed just a little less saturated and more deep but maybe I’m crazy Not to mention the textures were made with N64 in mind so a few of them look a lil more noticeably blurry on the Gamecube

One thing that stuck out to me when playing Animal Forest on my N64’s flash cart is that the N64 struggles to run it at times, it definitely has the slowdown common for games on the console, while the GameCube has no issues running it whatsoever

The e-reader did have compatibility in the prior AC GameCube before e+. I believe e+ just introduced being able to get a villager to move into your town if you have their card. e+ also let you have MULTIPLE private islands, and you don’t need to use the gba connection either! (Which… was a silly idea in the first place and was just an arbitrary paywall to sell the gba cable and gba itself. The island is always accessible whether you connect a gameboy or not. I ended up just using an action replay most of the time so I could just hop onto the ocean and walk to my island and back to skip all the constant saving and the unskippable Kappn songs.) One of the craziest things about e+ is that it introduced public work projects which we didn’t see again until New Leaf! A lot of the PWPs in New Leaf are callbacks to the e+ decorations, such as the flower clock, park clock, lamp post, Stonehenge…. Actually almost all of them returned to ACNL.

3:41 "As newly appointed mayor of your town" ??? I think you meant as the new resident, you weren't given mayor status, that wasn't until New Leaf XD

You don't get over being robbed by your villagers. Pate did that to me. I can't even remember what she took, but I'll never forget the outrage! 😂

this level of quality is kind of unexpected for a video with 32 views. great job!

Love the breakdown! I didn’t know a lot of the specifics about how special that first Animal Crossing game was!! Glad to have found your channel!

It’s kind of odd to me that Nintendo didn’t upgrade the visuals for animal crossing GameCube. It definitely could of supported more polygons. I do like the style of the game, tho I would of wanted to see what it looked like if they updated the graphics

Perfect voice over, very easy to listen to, glad I found your channel! :)

Your videos are so thorough man love it

Great video, I always wanted to know the difference of the N64 version of Animal Crossing.

Where’s this channel been all my life Stumbled upon your Jedi Knight video the other day

I searched for the English-patched ROM. I found it in a 'popular internet library'. The unpatched version was included, and it didn't occur to me I might use it to improve my Japanese. I've played Wild World and New Leaf, but find this has the clearest graphics. I can find the cracks without leaving fruit/shells as markers. The thing that's a bit of a pain (challenge?) is the lack of an inbuilt map. One needs to find the town's several maps...without a map.

This is a lovely video about info I have always been curious about. I was always peeved that animal forest never came to American N64's and first came to Gamecube, which looked dated on that system and I didn't own a GC until many years later. The main problem now is that I still can't read Japanese, despite living in Japan back in 2003, but I wish I had a copy of the game like that with an easily replaceable battery, especially with the FPGA N64's coming out soon. I also really like the old style of Animal Crossing over the newer rolling worlds that gets me motion sick sometimes. The isometric style view has always been how the game should look to me, I got used to the look though on the N3DS I used to have. I have my friends old 3DS after he passed and his animals get very excited when I show up after years to visit. I'd also love a video comparing all the different Animal Crossing games so people like myself who haven't played the game in many years can go back and choose one to pick.

Part of me wishes that there was an English N64 Cartridge (properly translated) of the Japan-exclusive expansion on the GameCube (that adds even more Villagers/Islanders and Bugs/Insects or Fishes than the actual localized GC version already had) titled Animal Forest e+, and that their proper calendar would end at 2099 rather than 2030. That would've made Animal Crossing feel like the best game to ever be playable on a Nintendo 64. And that cartridge I wish for it to exist, doesn't necessarily have to be licensed by Nintendo, as long as it imports every possible feature from Animal Forest e+ (with minor exceptions like their GBA modes, unless they could replace it with GBC) while accurately translating it to English. That would make me fantasize it as the best way to conclude the N64's lifespan in 2002 with a HQ game featuring so much fun stuff to do. Smash Remix 1.4.1 is an example of how surprisngly possible it is to create a fan-made N64 cartridge with a big handful of features collected into a single-package game! :) Sorry if this comment was longer than it needed to be, just stating why I would've been satisfied with Animal Crossing on the N64 only if it had all those 3 important changes (localization, double-expansion, and specifically for the N64).

I never nee the gc version was a port of an n64 game. The n64 really did introduce a lot of revolutionary games. Animal Crossing, Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, Paper mario etc...

I really need to get some region free systems across different consoles and get more games of different regions in different languages and whatnot. So much out there.

Good stuff

It'd be cool to see a translated version show up on the 64 for Nintendo Switch Online!

Very cute underrated video. ❤❤❤❤❤

Nice

❤❤❤❤❤ good job,!

"ACTUALLy" i love pointing out typos like a little shit >:D

I really appreciate your quality! That being said, Animal Forest is not a port, it is the original game. You wouldn't call Super Mario Bros on the NES a port of Super Mario Bros, would you? Animal Crossing is the port. Calling this series "Port Vs Port" doesn't really make sense in this case. Don't let my comment stop you from making content though, I really appreciate what you're doing and hope you continue to do it for a long time!

I didn't like the toilet paper roll worlds in the newer games

Great video, but... 😑👎🏼 Your title is misleading... Port Vs Port sound like what one have that the other don't.

Im blown away by how bad acnh is compared to any older animal crossing really.
