Animal Crossing/Trivia

The Games

 * Remade for The Export: The Game Cube game is an enhanced version of the Nintendo 64 version and was the first game in the series to be released outside of Japan.
 * Sequel First: As stated above, the N64's Animal Forest never left Japan, while the GCN's Animal Crossing was the series international debut. But the GCN game isn't exactly a "sequel" in the sense that the DS game is a sequel to the GCN game.
 * What Could Have Been: There was an unused character in the first game, presumably a special character since her clothing doesn't change (that could be due to coding though) among with a sickle item. The sickle's removal could probably be explained by the fact that its use would be cutting smaller (i.e. excluding non-sapling trees) plants (e.g. weeds, flowers, or saplings), but in the final game digging them up is possible so having two tools to get rid of weeds, flowers, or saplings would be redundant, especially since weeds can be removed more quickly without a tool (though since picking flowers wasn't possible until later games, digging up flowers is the only way to get rid of them) and dead saplings disappear the next day if they aren't dug up manually.

The Anime Movie

 * No Export for You: The movie has not seen an official release in North America.
 * Talking to Himself: Unavoidable with the fandub, considering they only had a small group to work with and a lot of characters to voice. Still, they manage pretty well.
