A new video is now live on my channel, detailing a handful of coding irregularities in the original Animal Crossing. With this, I've exhausted my list of "smaller" information about the game that I've been jotting down for over three years. Hope you enjoy it! 🥳 youtu.be/UX-KiW-pTQ4?...

Three years ago today I uploaded my very first video to the channel. It's been a pleasure to learn and share so much information about my favorite game series. As always, I'm grateful to every viewer who has tuned in along the way. I hope you tune in this Saturday as well... 👀

Somehow, launching a random soccer game by Konami ends up triggering a special debug mode in the Japanese+ version of Animal Crossing... but, how does this work? Join me as we dive into this neat exploit in a brand new video, now live on my YouTube channel. Hope you enjoy! ⚽️ youtu.be/9-dvmJTm0R0

I was just blocked by a "copyright" issue on a lengthy segment of this video scheduled to go live today. Since it can't be easily cut, I'll need to take some time to re-record, re-edit, and subtitle this part. I apologize for another delay, but I will try to re-publish by the weekend. 🥲

In preparation for potential live-streams, channel members can now use five brand new emotes, illustrated by the very talented @ferrangr1.bsky.social. Ferran was amazing to work with, and you can find his portfolios and more information here: linktr.ee/ferrang Thank you for the support!

While I was away, devs from PlazaJapan.com were kind enough to reach out, compliment the channel, and gift me a complete set of the official Animal Crossing Happy Room miniatures. These were way more detailed than I thought and super fun to put together. Japan always gets the good stuff… 🫠

Complete set of the Animal Crossing “Happy Room” miniatures by Re-ment. On the left is the box that the miniatures come in. On the right are the miniature rooms stacked together, featuring detailed models of house and shop interiors from Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

From top to bottom, the rooms are:
• Bob’s house, with Bob standing inside
• Town Hall, featuring Isabelle at her desk
• Marshall’s house, with Marshall sitting at a piano
• The Roost, featuring Brewster serving coffee
• Whitney’s house, with Whitney standing inside
• Nook’s Cranny, featuring Timmy and Tommy

Miniature display model of the Town Hall from Animal Crossing New Horizons. Features Isabelle sitting behind her desk, the automatic Bell dispenser (ABD), and various paper-crafted items like brochures and Nook Mile tickets.

Miniature displays of The Roost and Nook’s Cranny from Animal Crossing New Horizons. The Roost features Brewster serving coffee behind the counter. Nook’s Cranny features Timmy and Tommy in their work uniforms with a teddy bear and candle for sale.

Closeup of Bob’s house from the Animal Crossing Happy Room miniature set. Features Bob and the “kiddie” series of furniture inside his house. To the right, Whitney’s house can is visible before cutting off.

I'm excited to share that I was a beta tester for the upcoming game "Pixel Pup" developed by @retrodotcards.com. This is a custom Picross-style game embedded entirely on printed e-Reader cards, making it fully playable on original GBA hardware! Such an incredible and fun little game! 🔥

A true triumph in video game history! This video uncovers a lot of pre-release 3DS demos, including the first ever look at a “playable” version of New Leaf’s 2010 E3 demo. Congratulations to James and the 3DS Challenge Team for an amazing release. 👀

Was recently gifted these amazing Pokémon Center plushes that act as card displays. While I'm mostly known for Animal Crossing, I also collect Pokémon cards and thought these were neat! Maybe I'll share more of my collection from time to time. 🤔

It's incredible to see fully independent games developed for the e-Reader in 2025, especially since these are physical cards that all play beautifully on real hardware. If you own an e-Reader, you need to pick these up! Such a fair price for one of the most impressive projects I've ever followed. 🔥
