Note that I am aware of the existence of third party servers and external modification to restore some "lost" features. After all, I went through the trouble myself to create a few tools to restore some e-Reader functionality. This video only covers official, vanilla versions of the game just to give a setup on things that are “gone” from these games.

    I still think about the year 2031, when Animal Crossing will no long follow the time of the current hour as 2030 is its maxed-out date on the GameCube. In a sense, I guess that will become lost content.
  • This channel is like the equivalent of a kid going into a candy store for me… animal crossing, lost media, and glitches… I’m in heaven lol

    11:06 Fun fact: That isn't the only Japan exclusive 7/11 collab in a 3DS game! Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia had a 7/11 collab in which you could get an exclusive sword, shield, and food items
  • New Horizons actually does have lost content! Pre-2.0 you had to upgrade your museum in order for it to have art. Before the art upgrade it was grey and after it was brown and had red banners. After 2.0, however, building the ACNH museum leads to you getting the art and the red banners right away, to account for the fact that the museum now has a different upgrade, The Roost. However, if you didn’t upgrade to have the art exhibit before 2.0 came out, you can still have the original bannerless museum on your island.

    I’m a little surprised you took a sponsorship from a meal company. I would have expected you to be a Hunter-gatherer.
  • I have a really weird memory of when I hacked my Wii and played City Folk... with lightsabers? They were essentially just axes, but with a custom model. Now I'm wondering how people back then got custom models into the game, or how I got them into the game.
  • when u brought up the animal crossing calculator app near the end, i screamed because i still have it!!! i transferred it from my dsi onto my 3ds where it currently is today. 11 year old me thought it was novel, and now im glad to say that, over a decade later, im the proud owner of a piece of lost content

    11:37 reminds me of my vacation to Oslo and Stockholm last November. Both Norway and Sweden are home to 7-Eleven, which makes them the first and so far only countries I've been to which have 7-Eleven. The very first time I ever went to 7-Eleven was in Oslo... on November 7th, which can also be written out as 7/11. This was completely unintentional and I only realized when I saw posters at a different location later that day with text along the lines of "Happy 7-Eleven Day!" So the TLDR: the first time I ever went to 7-Eleven was on 7/11 and I didn't even realize when I did it.

    Animal Crossing had a track in Mario Kart 8, if you wanna count that in "AC content on Wii U"

    When Hunter last uploaded, I stopped mid-performance to watch his video. This time, I'm not on stage, I'm laying in a bed at my grandma's house. There is a strange wind noise, there's a mysterious red light, nothing feels right, it's all weird. However, Hunters uploaded so its fine so yeah thanks hunter love you pookie <3
  • @sebiai6161
    I like how you paused for the (no name) name at the patreon credits
  • @skittycecil9786
    Great video as always, but you forgot one thing (or rather, two); Katie and Kaitlin! Another thing I found interesting after reading about the monkey distributions is that after receiving the data, you’d also get a message in a bottle from Katrina that’s specific to each Monkey. Also, they’d say they moved directly from Nintendo!

    2:07 This save data has been preserved on the internet and can be reintroduced to the memory card, and can be edited to give a player any item in the game provided you know how to create the checksum.

    i've been an adult for so long i was starting to forget what it was like when i was a child but videos like this and actually the channel as a whole reminds me of the days of strolling about AC Fansites
  • @raph.404
    Hopefully the 2.0 update for NH will be put onto carts, otherwise we'll be stuck with only half a game when the update servers get shut down
  • It’s very difficult to remember any of your life problems when you’re watching Hunter R.
  • @herodoesstuff
    new leaf online is the most devastating part abt 3ds losing online. esp considering online in new horizons has literally nothing fun to do unlike new leaf :(
  • @JoshuaPeisach
    I’m glad at least that pretendo (should) be able to bring up ACNL

    When you mentioned shiny Pokemon events, I had a flashback to how I played Pokemon alone for so long and never looked up anything or interacted with the community, and how I only learned shiny Pokemon are a real rare thing super late in playing. I'd encountered one or two and thought it was a glitch, knocked it out, kept going. Only years later I realized I missed a cool rare thing.
