Suffice to say, I can never unhear Tom Nook sounding like Patrick Warburton after this.
Hey Peter you got to pay some bells!
Guess I wasn't the only one who notice this
Is that Joe Swanson’s voice actor? If so, I fucking agree
@@JackRookPatrick Warburton voice's Joe Swanson (Family Guy), Kronk (The Emperor's New Groove), Brock Samson (The Venture Bros),
@@DAVID-ANDERSON Now I’m completely sold.
I think folks forget that bells are theoretically more based on Japanese Yen, not USD
Technically, the original animal crossing first debt is only about $200, after all conversions done
So *that's* why the fruit is 100 bells. Being around a dollar makes much more sense
I’ve been playing Animal Crossing since 2007 and had never once considered this 😂 I just accepted that “Bells aren’t Dollars and therefore they can charge me whatever they want 🤷🏽♀️" 😂
@@Scarylyn14That is also most likely the case, if I'm honest
But, the logic makes sense that Nintendo, a Japanese company, would work with currency they were familiar with, even if subconsciously
By the way, this is no coincidence, Matt, Pat, even did a theory where he found out that it was one-to-one with ¥ by looking at the switch in game and real life prices
@@SirRias That's just basic economics. I used to live in a ranch with guabas, tamarinds, onion, tomato and raddish galore, literally anyone could pick a basket of market discarded procude for free and take it home. The overproduction and easy access to a produce makes it virtually cheaper or less valuable.
The "An Town" is like filled to the brim with fruit that anyone can just pick. Like lucky Tom Nook even gives you a mere bell for something he could just walk and pick up.
"Spent $50 on a 20 year old game"
Remember when buying retro games used to be fun and cheap?
Why would they be cheap? You're buying a sought-after 23 year old product that isn't being produced anymore, obviously it'll be pricey.
@@tubsy.Consoles and games from previous generations used to be super cheap before so many people became obsessed with collecting them.
@@KingC89 Yeah, but as you've said that was "before". Van Gogh's paintings were cheap too when he made them in 1885. But as time goes on the product becomes more and more rare and desired, obviously. Sure, consoles and games that are 10 or 15 years old aren't that special. They're still relatively recent. But when those things become 30-40 years old, obviously the price will rise. In fact, the age of a game is such an important aspect of the price, that people will literally give hundreds of dollars for a bad game that nobody wants to play, just because it's old.
The only time they were cheap was when they weren't "retro"
@@KingC89 still remember when i got mario 64 in the box for like $20 at a game store like 10 years ago 😔
One of the things I like about the original Animal crossing is that you’re not some pillar of hope coming to reshape the community for the better, you are just some nobody that rolled into town. Nobody knows who you are so they aren’t overly friendly, like how normal people would act towards a new person in their community. But over time you learn these villagers quirks and behaviors they start to feel less strange and more like neighbors and you become apart of the town. Not a mayor, not head of community development, but a neighbor.
I think that's what I love the most about the original game. While the loss of the QoL changes over the years can definitely be felt, it's nice just being another face in the village rather than a paragon of change.
Yes! I miss this! my problem with ACNH is there's WAY too much responsibility. Everyone always decorates their island like crazy, I just leave mine as natural as it can be, cause that's how it was.
You didn't even play long enough to get to the parts where you pay off your debt, and Nook responds by upgrading your house and giving more debt for it, whether or not you want him to.
Or forgetting to save and getting yelled at by Resetti. I was 8 years old when I got the GameCube version of Animal Crossing. The first time I saw Resetti show up (at least I think it was the first time), I literally ran to my parents crying XD. It is amazing that I continued to be an Animal Crossing fan up to today after that event lol. I continued to have a love-hate relationship with Resetti. I remember intentionally quitting without saving on Wild World to get him to pop up just for me to troll him with my answers. He would insist that I do write the message that he wants, or something like that, and I would write something entirely different on purpose. Ahhh the good ole days. It is probably for the best that they toned him down in later games, but man, I wish he had more presence in New Horizons, because you do not really encounter him, beyond hearing his voice. I understand that his services are no longer required now that the game can autosave, but man.. The dude is iconic
Tom Nook : oh yea, its all coming together!
4 years later, I easily played off my debt, helped friend pay off theirs with 8 million bells in my bank, and now my island is over run with flowers to the point where the frame data drops in some spots, and I only finished my fossil exhibit. Meanwhile, I still haven't paid off my original home from 2001... Good luck in An Town
The Original Animal Crossing Was Definetly Brutal. Resetti Is Terrifying
don't tell him about it!
I almost cried because of him and I wuz 6 ok
Terrifying, resetti made me laugh my ass off lol-
We need our boy ressetti back
ressetti was great, I miss him
Fun fact: Animal Crossing is basically an N64 title running on the GameCube, originally released on the N64 in Japan under the title Animal Forest. The game is less than 32MB in size (a GameCube disc holds 1.46GB), which is so small that you can remove the disc after booting the game and it will continue to play using the console's internal RAM.
It wasn’t just the OG Animal crossing that didn’t have character creation, it was every single game that was formatted this way. You’d talk to Rover or Kapp’n, they’d ask you a few questions, and poof, your character. In some games, other elements would later become customizable. For example, in WW, they introduced Harriet, who used a similar question system to give you a haircut. In later games you could apply your Mii’s face to the player character, which looked incredibly cursed. You NEVER knew what kind of haircut you were getting, and kind of just had to live with it until the next day. You’d also have to cough up around 3k bells each time. Also, they had no definitive way to choose your skin color. You’d literally just have to sit out in the sun on a clear day to obtain a “tan” that would darken your skin. It was *so bad* that they never even introduced alternate skin colors until New Horizons, almost 20 years later. In the OG version, you could technically change your face to a horrifying gyroid expression if you dared leave your friends town without saving, but this isn’t permanent IIRC. The first Animal Crossing game released in the US only had shirts and umbrellas. The shirt would be a bit like the basic custom design shirt you get NH. It was one parttern pasted across every axis, and would be replicated on the non removable hat given to the player character. Every AC game came with a new accessory. wild world, they introduced hats that you could actually remove, as well as accessories like face wear. In City Folk, you could technically get new shoes and socks. You’d have to go to the city (the gimmick of the game was a new area called the City with a few new shops and places you could visit. The game is known as being the weakest in the series due to its notable lack of additions.) and ask a skunk, Kicks, to shine your shoes. This would also present a random combo each time. He also wasn’t always there, so it was a really big gamble. In New Leaf, Kicks finally got his own storefront where you could actually buy socks and shoes. They also made the player character taller, allowing for pants to be added, as well a full body costumes. In NH, there wasn’t much left expand on cosmetically, so tote bags, hand bags, an backpacks were the only “clothing” item added. So many character items have been sadly replaced or lost. Pelly and Phyllis being the first two who come to mind. Blanca, Resetti, Dr. Shrunk, Tortimer, Booker and Copper, Lyle, etc. have all been removed or delegated to very small roles comparatively. So many classics lost imo.
I actually loved City Folk and the new city area. Yes, it was basically Wild World, but I was also ok with it at the time. This one time, I played with someone online and he gave me a hacked axe that looks like an electric guitar. I am pretty sure I still have it to this day. Granted, I haven't touched City Folk in years. I am sad that they got rid of a lot of the OG characters, but the one I am the most sad about is Resetti. I had a love-hate relationship with the guy and he tormented me, and I trolled him back, but man. That dude is iconic. I am pretty sure Lyle can be seen in New Horizons right? Or maybe that was New Leaf and Happy Home Designer.

That Patrick Warburton impression is crazy impressive. Literally could’ve actually been him
This makes me chuckle. I grew up with Animal Crossing starting from this one. Back then, back in the ol days of OG Animal Crossing, you didn't have the chance to minmax or do all of this utilization of time and resources and talk to friends online about turnips (cell phones were a rare commodity back then!). You just literally enjoyed the game and goobered around while paying off your debt and see the BIGGEST variety of personalities in your villagers.
The Internet was already a huge thing in 2001, I remember reading all about this game on GameFAQs, there were already guides about how to do anything.
1. HOW do so many people forget that Animal Crossing bells are 1 to 1 with Japanese Yenn since that's where Nintendo is. The first loan isn't $19,800, is 19,800 yenn in 2001 money which was around $160 in 2001 and around $300 in today's money. That's incredibly cheap for these houses.
2. If you buy and sell enough to/from Nook, his store will expand & there will be more for sale. There are 3 expansions: Nook n Go, Nookway, and if you buy something in a friend's nook shop, Nookington's where Timmy and Tommy make their first and only appearance.
That's because bells are not Yen. They are 300:1 US dollars
The Yen exchange rate is 148:1 us dollars
@CornerstoneMinistry316 In today's money. Either things have changed or Nook has gotten more generous since the first title.
It isn’t that we forgot - we never knew in the first place!
Fun fact! Pate's name is probably pronounced pa-tay since it is a reference to the French food pâté, which is a meat spread traditionally made from the fatty livers of waterfowl like ducks and geese! Kind of morbid, in my opinion
It’s clearly a reference to the food pâté, but since there are no accents, it’s safe to assume her name is pronounced like Payt
The original had 2 neat features they've never brought back:
Playable NES games as gifts and things you can have
Chores for neighbors and being paid with cool stuff.
Yeah I really wish they had brought the NES games back, or even SNES games now would be even cooler. But I guess they thought it might be a conflict of interest with Nintendo Online.
I love that your Rover is Troy McLure and your Nook is Patrick Warburton, something about that made me giggle.
More episodes of this please. I want to see how he manages to clear his debt.
I wanna see his reaction to resettii!!
He was born in 1996 if he was 5 in 2001. So this means he is 28 years old in 2024
That would make him 7 years older than me.
@@33pandagamer that makes him 11 years older than me 🎭
And only a year older than me 😅 I'm tired of getting shocked that so many of the creators I follow are around a year or two from my age, it's crazy
I turned 22 in 2001 and was in college. This really makes me feel old. I will be 45 this year. Lol.
I've owned my Gamecube since 2002. Was thinking about picking up this game as I didn't get it back in the day.
@@snkfan7506We are the same age 😂😅
The villagers talking like this about Nook (buying more so the store expands) is literally a nudge to the player - you buy a lot and the store expands. It's built in instructions :D
Somehow that "I'm scared" managed to make me laugh every time
I'm always happy once FootofaFerret uploads
Same
This is gonna be sad, but he used to work for matpat. Now he’s leaving. Matpat, not FOAF
@@tntkaboom-ym1vv ik bro, don't remind me
Can’t wait to see more of An Town
Oh, the nostalgia! I still have my copy of AC for gamecube and the memory card. Unfortunately, my gamecube broke long ago, but it's a nice memory, at least, lol.
@Linky52691 I know. I used to have a wii but I don't anymore. But thanks for the tip though!
I love the clip of you saying "So I'm scared" from Game Theory lol
Tom Nook is the ultimate capitalist overlord, luring us in with promises of cozy island life and then plunging us into a debt spiral! But hey, at least I got to experience the joy of free shrimp Fridays before I became Nook's indentured servant.
He literally gives you an interest free loan that you never need to pay off, he probably doesn’t even expect you to pay it off.
@@vanthemanproductions9185And the loans are super cheap given that bells are just Japanese yenn.
Phyllis even scoffs when you start paying it off saying "I didn't think anyone paid these off" I really don't think the game expects a pay off 😂
piracy isnt a crime in my book 🔥🔥
Gokai change motherf**kers!
How
It’s not a crime when it’s triple A devs or when the game has been discontinued
Make sure you support indie creators tho
He isn’t commuting piracy he is using a REAL GameCube and REAL game bought on something like eBay.
@@HxdrxYT yeah I know
MY BRAIN CRAVES FOR MORE OF AN TOWN,but if needed take your time?
This was the first game I ever “played.” When I was a baby, my mom would plug the GC controller into the second port and tricked me and my brother into thinking I was helping her while playing the game. I literally cannot remember a world without Animal Crossing existing. It’s just been… there… my entire life. So it’s interesting to see people who have never played the first game before react to it, or to speak of it in the way they do. It’s so surreal to me, lol.
Bro has been working on a Patrick Warburton impression.
And it's pretty damn good.
3:30 that's some might fine shade you're throwing there, Ryder. 🤣
“oh roald.. oh you poor sweet idiot” 😂
You can't leave it there!! I demand a part 2! How did you get out of debt?
1:12 THE MEMORIES ARE FLOODING IN!
Animal Crossing: Wild World was my first Animal Crossing game. I played it on my DS and loved it. It was actually so similar to this original game.
On Saturday mornings, my sister and I would play together and visit each other's towns. Oh, and Mr. Resetti always terrified me. 😂
Future Animal Crossing titles may have their strengths, but the 1st game Peaked in terms of the Villagers Roasting you.
2020 was certainly.. a year and I feel like animal crossing was the thing that healed everyone for a good while
OG Animal Crossing will always hold a special place in my heart. Back when the villagers had souls. Imagine a game with the mayor system from new leaf, the freedoms, design and gameplay of new horizons, and the writing, music and atmosphere of the original game. Would be perfect
The 4th anniversary of Doom eternal is coming soon too
I can’t believe so much time has passed that now we’re re-discovering and explaining what Animal Crossing had ALWAYS been until New Horizons 😂 At 22, I’m officially OLD! I will never skip an OG Animal Crossing video ❤
6:48 editing was perfect lol
OG Animal Crossing remains my favorite entry. The soundtrack, the slightly surly attitudes of the villagers, the atmosphere, it's all sublime.
I swear these videos end in a heartbeat 💀
Man you really had the best character design you can get (imo at least)
I can't lie, that transition to the sponsor segment was smooth af
I love to see a sequel video to this!
This music is still my favorite, the 3pm meow is always the best because that’s when I would get on after school ❤
He needs a restraining order from Rover
This game was my life growing up. Rented it from BlockBusters and was instantly hooked because of the active real world time gameplay.
I just bought Animal Crossing on Switch in end of January of 2024 and my mom got jealous and a Lite with Anaimal Crossing included and now we're addicted to it
Please continue this classic! There’s so much more to see and do that’s (somewhat) different from the newer games.
Your Tom Nook impression is also a fantastic Patrick Warburton impression.
I actually used to have Alli in my New Horizons island (she moved away), and she was REALLY NICE! Just goes to show how big if a change in personality these characters have gotten over time.
The original Animal Crossing on GameCube was the first game I ever played. My brothers and sister played it as well. My oldest brother was the first to pay off all debt, get a gold statue, catch all the fish and bugs, and complete the museum.
I had played it on my own when I was a little older. Had my own town, Liz (a pink alligator) lived there.
After a few years, I had everything I wanted in my house, even a full T-rex skeleton. I was BFF's with Liz and was racking up bells.
One day I boot up and the game and I'm greeted with K.K. turns out my memory card got corrupted and the only way I could play again was to delete my town. At least, at the time, I was not aware of any other way to fix this.
I cried for a good hour to lose part of my childhood, my NPC friend that I knew would never be in my town again, and losing my fossil collection/house.
As much as I love all of the Animal Crossing games in their own way, the original was a big part of me growing up. As clunky as the original is, and as much as I love New Horizons, the original has a special little place in my heart. I'd probably still play if my original file didn't get corrupted.
The original animal crossing characters were more aggressive, but they feel more rewarding to befriend because of it.
Also why does everyone rag on my boy Rover? He's just trying to be friendly!
Why does rover sound like Willem Dafoe?!?!?
The og blows new horizons outta the water imho. In charm and personality at least. If NH had this personality I would enjoy the game a lot more.
I WAS LITERALLY WATCHING YOUR ANIMAL CROSSING VIDEOS YESTERDAY 😦 YIPPEE‼️
Watching this while I wait for Animal Crossing to download on my switch. I finally decided to buy it this morning, and it's taking forever to download.
Tbh i miss 2020, when we could all just sit on our phones and devices all day witout having to go outside, it's hard to believe that it's already been 4 years.
It is hilarious to see people play the original Animal Crossing because it is so different from what we have today with New Horizons.
I grew up with Animal Crossing on the Game Cube and it was a blast! It still is!
I personally prefer all the older Animal Crossing games compared to New Horizons. Yes, the customization is new and amazing. However, I liked the feel of the old games and how rude villagers could be. Haha!
I mean, sometimes it was unintentional when a villager was rude. It gave the villagers so much more character though!
I hope that more people will explore the older games. They are so much fun.
Roald may be lost in the sauce, but I love him 😅🤣💙
The OG animal crossing was such a different game compared to New Horizons. I miss it.
Theres no way this just dropped after i finished watching the compilation of all the other AC videos, now i can continue to watch Kronk Nook terrorize people yay!
Footofaferret posts!! well that just made my week!!
Aww, your character looks just like my first Animal Crossing character did! 😄 I played the hell out of this as a kid, it's definitely harder compared to the quality-of-life changes in the newer games, but there's a charm to the original that I don't think has been fully replicated since. I do think my favorite villager interactions were in Wild World, it's a happy medium between the snark of the original and the over-friendliness of New Horizons 😆
Looking forward to more adventures in An Town!
I played this game so much as a kid!
That music is so nostalgic for me
I'm so amused by your interpretation of this game. It was my first Animal Crossing, and skipping over an entire generation (from DS/Wii to Switch), plus New Horizons being the first AC game I know of where there isn't a pre-existing town to move to, meant that my very different experience of the game was the other direction.
The bit that Roald said about buying more shit from Nook is a hint towards game progression. Nook's store expansion is conditional on spending a threshold number of bells there.
It’s so interesting seeing people’s reactions to the original game 😂 as someone who’s played every game it’s jarring seeing the game change as it did
Nice transition!
2020 was a crazy year but hey at least we had Animal Crossing to chill out with
Was hoping for the return of An Island but this is good, this is also good
yo new animal crossing video, that series was epic!!
I never played the GameCube version, so this was very fun
They are all so mean in this game. I love it so much
I wouldn't say I didn't expect this video, but I didn't expect it so soon
Idk if you meant to make Rover sound like John Mulaney. But I found it hilarious
and nook sounds like joe from family guy
God I feel old. Lol. I was 18 years old in 2001. I adored my Animal Crossing on GameCube.
Yes more animal crossing videos how I missed this
Love this series! ❤
I'm pretty close friends with Patrick Warburton and I'm so tempted to get him to read some Tom Nook lines for me lol
4:43 was awsome
the fact that i grew up on this game and dont have any traumatic memories from it
I remember playing the first one on game cube it was fun
I can't wait for Footofaferret's reaction to Sonic the hedgehog 3 movie in December!!
FINALY MORE ANIMAL CROSSY
@3:45 is that a Scott the woz reference
I was a nurse during the pandemic and I actually think that playing animal crossing was the only thing that kept me from completely sinking into depression
Foafy is back with animal crossing stuff?? Wowzas
also they just released animal crossing lego sets of all things, so I guess there was kind of something new
All of the DOOM crossover memes will always hold a spot in my heart.
Well done getting Patrick Warburton to guest star on your video.
ANIMAL CROSSY!!!!!
My first experience with AC was actually with the original animal crossing when I was a small child so I am weirdly desensitized to how absolutely brutal it was. Though I was also very dyslexic at the time to I might just not have realized what was being said to me....
An town is love, An town is life
.... Tom nook with Warburton's voice is.. Something else
I love his animal crossing videos
Free shrimp Fridays
YAYY MORE ANIMAL CROSSING!!!
Roald is the man!
free shrimp fridays...
