Animal Crossing

[Anonymous No.8074609]

What does /vr/ think about the first Animal Crossing? Do you think that Nintendo would have localized the N64 original, had it not been ported to the Game Cube by the end of 2001?

The Gamecube was made because there wasn't much of a market for N64 games anymore, and there'd have been even less of one when an eventual English version would've come out. So probably not.

>Do you think that Nintendo would have localized the N64 original, had it not been ported to the Game Cube by the end of 2001?
No. There were only a handful of N64 games released in 2001, and the Gamecube had already been announced back in 2000. If the Gamecube version was being developed for Japanese markets already I think it made lots of sense to hold off.
On top of that, the higher-than-average amount of text in the game means it would take longer or be more costly to localize then a lot of other games they might have chosen instead.

It's amazing how much of the grind goes away when you just go online for turnip trades and whatnot. NH and NL were clearly designed with this in mind, so trying to play the game in a single player environment makes it feel really sluggish.

I've actually been replaying this for the past couple of weeks due to getting bored of New Horizons. While I love the dialog and the feel of the game, I do sorely miss the little quality of life features, certain villagers not being there, and less stuff to collect for the museum. There's other minor nitpicks, like the e-reader stuff not being accessible at all, and the island having no real purpose, but it's been fun. Makes me wish that the newest Animal crossing had the dialog, music and such of the original, but with most of the new mechanics intact.

I think it's due to Nintendo Treehouse doing an excellent job on translating Animal Forest. In the Japanese version there is not much text to it, and is normal. Nintendo of Japan liked the Treehouse dialogue so much that they did add their stuff in with Doubutsu No Mori E+ as an update. If anything you perhaps could do that in the future when New Horizon becomes moddable one day. Much like others have been to have these things in the game.

[Anonymous No.8077246]

>>8077118
The problem with future releases is they became static up until New Leaf and Horizons. Wild World kind of had a neat concept for the DS version and had some new events and random things happening especially shooting down a balloon etc. City Folk for Wii was basically Wild World and Animal Crossing on Gamecube combined, but kind of had less to do with the characters and interactions. New Leaf had much more to do with the towns, Horizons gave you so much to do with towns, characters etc and feels a lot better overall rather than just small things added. A lot is customizable in that game. The only thing i think they are missing is some of the neat hidden events like in the Gamecube version with the lighthouse, characters having better dialogue when writing you back, and also Gyroid's have been diminishing where there is only one much like it was in New Leaf and even sadly 3 in the Wild World version. Gamecube ended up having more varied Gyroids.

I blame people who are desperate for translations than those who make the Patreons. Customers need to demand updates every week and progress notes. They also need to make sure they give money to those who know how to do it and have a track record than those who say they know Japanese and it's obvious MTL work. There have been many such cases of this sadly. I would rather pay someone who lived in Southeast Asia to translate for me than any of the Narcissist Sociopaths we have here in the West. Because although it has sentence structure issues at times at least they are not going to milk you for money for years. They just get up and get it done. Your money goes further there than here.

i recently imported どうぶつの森 on the n64 and have been really enjoying it. only things that are sorely missed are the museum and able sisters, but everything else is still pretty solid. if i can ever find a jp gamecube i'll probably import どうぶつの森+ because I never knew it had additional content compared to Animal Crossing.
Also, I'm not normally a fan of using the shitwords like "soul" but the n64 game and by extension gamecube game have so much style pressed into them, it creates such a great game atmosphere. its lovely

I've recently been playing it again. The atmosphere is unmatched, and the graphics are mostly timeless aside from some face textures. It's been super cozy the past few days with the in-game thunderstorms.
I'd say the original is the easiest to come back to since it feels like a lived-in place. New Horizons is too much of a decorating sim and the crafting shit and breakable tools just ruins the relaxed vibe of the game

Why go through the trouble to translate another Game Cube game that already was translated, for the sake of the extra content? If someone translated the N64 game, at least it would serve a historical purpose. Easy to patch and load the rom to a N64 game, than burn a Game Cube disc image, apply the patch, and to deal with Game Cube emulation. Is doing N64 easier or harder than doing Game Cube emulation?

Considering that e+ has a lot of dialogues unique to it since brand new features were added in, there is some virtue to this.
Although, many of the villagers talking to each other dialogues are shared with Wild World, so that could possibly eliminate the need to translate some of those outright too if a correct comparison/copypaste could be done.

I think it's a grey area.

It's the best in the series. Wild World is okay, but the others are shit. The newer games don't even have mean villagers. I used to think it was so funny when one of them would call you fat or they'd paint your roof behind your back or some shit. Now they're placid and boring, and the games are full of crafting and farming mechanics. I said this in a thread a while ago: the last couple of animal crossing games have bored me because every time I'd boot it up I'd be knocking off a checklist of all the shit I felt like I had to do that day. The first game is simple, you can just chill and fish, catch bugs or fossil hunt at your leisure. You could have up to 15 villagers at a time, which still hasn't been matched by any of the later entries, and the music was the best. Animal Crossing GCN is the only game in the series which I bother to get a perfect town and revisit from time to time, all the others bore me in a few days.

Kids probably cried because a villager called them ugly or lazy so hey can't say shit now. The new games have loads of content bloat because people will whine that there isn't enough to do if you trust them to make their own fun with the content in the game, which is the point of AC. They don't have NES and SNES games so they can resell them to you or make you subscribe to an online service to get them.

Only snooty villagers do that? I had Yuka in my town when I played CF on Wii, i just hated her arrogance. Not a single snooty fuck on my island in New Horizons.

Funny enough, all villager types do and say mean shit to you in the original game. Snooty and Cranky insult you, Peppy villagers can choose to steal shit from you (Including all your bells if you're really unlucky). Lazy villagers tend to forget your name, or occasionally say your name is odd. Normal villagers can act passive aggressive, and Jock villagers get upset with you if you you say your don't like exercise.

One that caught me off guard recent was a snooty getting upset and saying something like "Who cares what you do, all you do is pop warts off your ugly face." because I didn't want to do a job for her. As silly as it sounds, I can imagine a modern audience getting up in arms about such a silly sentence rather than laughing at it.
