Today (November 16th) is the 8th anniversary of Animal Crossing: City Folk’s release. And since I purchased the game on the first day, it’s also the 8th anniversary of Forest. Of course, that means it’s also been eight years since a proper Animal Crossing game was released on a home console, but I digress.
I found my favorite villager Savannah in her house tonight, sick with a cold. So I bought some medicine for her. Get well soon, Savannah!
I met up with Bluebear outside, and she told me that she decided to become a mermaid! Her story sounded a bit fishy, but she wanted me to catch her a barred knifejaw so she could become queen of the ocean. I don’t think that’s how that works…
Opal asked me for a new catchphrase, and I told her to say “oh pal.” Whether you dig it or not, I think it’s a gem. 😉
I spotted a balloon present tonight, so I got out my slingshot and shot it down. I thought it would be fitting if it would somehow be an appropriate anniversary gift. But it was just a neutral corner. Not exactly what I hoped for…but it does have a bit of a ring to it.
Anyway, I hope you all had a good City Folk anniversary! If you’d like to re-live my first moments in Forest, here’s a video showing the very beginnings of Forest.
Or for a list of all my ACCF videos (all 117 of them), here is the full playlist. If you’re wondering, I will make my annual slideshow video, but it’s not ready yet. So stay tuned for that.
Have a great day, and I’ll see you all next time!
