Maple was sick with a cold on Sunday, so I gave her some medicine. I repeated the process throughout the week, since I played several days this week.
Static had asked me for some new clothes…a specific shirt, although I don’t remember which shirt it was. But by Monday, he had given up on it (as well he should). The odds of finding a specific shirt in Able Sisters on any given day are very small. And the odds of me not being too lazy to actually order it? Even smaller. So he said he’ll just wear a fig leaf! 😮
Opal was telling me about how flowers will wither if I don’t keep watering them. Oddly enough, she was standing near gold roses as she said it…and gold roses don’t wilt. But then she said I should make sure she doesn’t wither either!
Today (November 16th) is the 10-year anniversary of Animal Crossing: City Folk’s release! Unlike most Animal Crossing games (and Nintendo games in general), it was actually released in America first. Only by a few days, but still, it’s a big difference from what happened with New Leaf. Japan got New Leaf seven months before the rest of the world.
I made a special video for the anniversary, and here it is. It’s a new town tour, where I stop at various spots around town to remember events that happened at each spot years ago, during online play. Wi-Fi Moments clips are overlaid onto the screen, so you can see how the area looked then and now. I hope you enjoy the video!
I got a letter from “Mom” today, and it’s about “Dad” learning to play the accordion? Hmm, I don’t think I remember seeing this letter before.
There’s a small detail that I originally intended to be in my 10th anniversary video. But it didn’t work out, because of the bell limit. If you’re holding more than 99,999 bells, 99k will be placed into a bag and your total bells won’t be displayed on the item screen. It only includes the money bags if you go inside a shop or something, and my tour only focused on the outdoor parts of town. But if you look at my bell total from inside town hall, you can probably see what I was going for.
Maple was over her cold today, and she rewarded me by giving me a clackercart.
With today being a day of looking back at ACCF, it may be a good time to revisit my list of 11 things that you can do in City Folk, but not in New Leaf. Hopefully some of these will return in Animal Crossing Switch next year!
Did any of you do anything special for the anniversary (like checking in on your old town)? Feel free to share your memories in the comments, and have a great weekend!
Hey Jeff I was wondering is there any difference between the shopping card and the gold card?
And can you get the gold card back after you lose it?
I don’t believe there is any difference, other than the color. And I don’t think you can get a new one if you lose it. The regular shopping card can be replaced, though.
Surprised there wasn’t a segment from when you did museum tag, otherwise I loved the video! (As well as making the parts with me in it less cringey, lol)
I considered going inside the museum briefly and including a few clips there, but ultimately, I decided to limit it to outdoor clips during the tour…even though I did include a couple indoor clips during the end screen. But I’m glad you enjoyed the video overall.
