It had been a while since I last checked up on my Animal Crossing GameCube town, so I made sure to do that today. When I started the game up, I saw a goodbye letter from Roald the penguin. He was pretty cool, so it’s sad to see him go already.
After shopping at Nookington’s, I saw a new house that was in the same spot as Roald’s. Buck the horse has moved into town. He lived in my City Folk town once before, so I’m quite familiar with him.
Genji wasn’t far away, and I spoke with him on this rainy evening. He was trying to clean up his house a bit, so he asked me to buy his Keiko figurine for 1,450 bells. I didn’t really need it, but I bought it anyway, just to be nice.
I had a lot of weeds to pull, so I tried to take care of them as I made my way around town. When I met up with Static, he pretended to not know who I am.
And down by the ocean, Ursala wanted to buy my Keiko figurine for 1,710 bells. That was even more than I paid for it, so I gladly sold it to her. But she seemed to think I only sold it to her because she’s so irresistibly cute. Ha!
Closer to home, Emerald was telling me how she would sometimes bury items in the ground to hide them, and then later she’d forget where she put them. She asked if I had the same problem, and I said no. That seemed to set her off, because she got furious and considered that an insult! How rude!
After that, I stopped at the post office and then returned home for the night.
You may notice that my screenshots don’t look quite as good as usual today. For a while now, I had been playing on my Wii. I have a component cable for my Wii, so that allows higher-quality screenshots than the standard composite cables. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get my Wii to read my Animal Crossing disc. My Wii’s disc drive has been slowly dying for years now, and it now seems to have reached the point of uselessness.
So I had to play the game on my GameCube today, and I only have a composite cable for it. Component cables for GameCube seem to run around $150 on eBay, which is craaazy! I’ll give my Wii another try next time, but I may be out of luck.
Hey! Buck is in my CF town, too!
