Eight Years of City Folk

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!

Savannah flips as she gulps down her medicine.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…

Bluebear: Jeff! Guess what? I've TOTALLY decided to become a mermaid!
You a mermaid? Sorry, I just don’t sea it.

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. 😉

Opal: I love the sound of it... oh pal! It's like a magic word that makes me irrestible, oh pal!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.

I took the picture a bit too early. Oops.

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!

  1. Ah, I get the Opal joke. xD Good one.

    Congrats on 8 years! CF is a great game. Have you tried Wiimmfi? It’s a Homebrew that allows you to play online again, so you can have people come to your town! 😀

    1. Thanks. No, I haven’t tried Wiimmfi. I’m not interested in messing with my Wii U, and my old ACCF friends don’t use it anyway. I’m just hoping we get a Switch version of Animal Crossing and that some of my old ACCF friends get back into the series.
