Features from older games that you wish returned in New Leaf?

[Katie1313]

There are a few features from the older games, that I wish returned in New Leaf. One of which, is being able to have 15 neighbors in the game. You'd obviously need to have a bigger town which I wouldn't mind, but then there's hardware issues... I also wish the "ball" would come back from the original Animal Crossing. I honestly don't know why this feature was removed... It was so fun! Recently, now that I started playing the original, I've been constantly playing with the ball.

Another things I liked were the ramps (slopes). While there IS one in New Leaf, it's only there for the beach. I guess it was just too small a town to add ramps...

In Wild World, I liked how there were more events that weren't the fishing tourney, or bug off, but weren't holidays, either. Like Yay Day and the acorn gathering event.

I also wish Serena returned in some way. Mostly, because no matter which game I played I never got to meet her. Maybe you could build a special type of fountain where you could meet her. While we're on the topic of special NPCs, I wish Redd had his own shop like he did in City Folk. I'd much rather he had a shop than Katrina. It would make getting paintings and statues a lot easier, meaning you could unlock the second floor of the museum, and cafe easier.

I know I listed quite a lot, but are there any features you wished returned in New Leaf?

I agree with the Redd Shop and a Serena fountain! I also want the constellation feature of the museum back! I was pretty miffed when I saw that Celeste was just downgraded to gift shop girl in new leaf. I miss the morning workout feature during the summer in the gamecube game as well! It always got me super excited to be up in the morning so I could workout with my villagers!

 

[Skyfall]

I liked the feature where you could send mail and gifts to other towns.

 

[GirlPolarBear]

I adored City Folk and Wild World. I kind of liked that the museum wasn't in a town centre? And it was set up somewhere in the town. That was cute, some may disagree.

I don't really think they brought back Redds store because, the villagers would take a good while you send you that invite thing.

I loved making contellations with her!

I really miss the morning aerobics along with the sports fair. It was so cute watching the villagers play tug-o-war, ball toss, and the foot race. I hope they do more fun events like that in the next game.

 

[Athelwyn]

Yay Day! It was very sweet, and funny depending on the compliments you gave out.

I also miss being able to decorate the private island hut (in ACG). I preferred the private island over Club Tortimer, just because it was so relaxing, and I remember it being a really special thing at the time to compare which island villager you had. (I had O'Hare, back when he still had his deep voice!)

 

[BuckOfTheFawns]

The only ones I can really think of is no animal tracks, sending mail to your friends, and Sprocket the ostrich.

I guess it would be cool if your house started with a few items and a second floor.

 

[Chris01]

I wished they changed it back to one house that all four characters live in (Like in Wild World) not 4 separate houses, it would give you alot more room for PWPs and such.

 

[Mink777]

I wish they brought back Wisp from CF and I believe he was in Wild World. I also wish they brought back more old villagers.

 

[Gir]

I really liked the random ball around town in the gamecube game as well. I wish they'd add that back, but maybe change it by also making it a mini-game. Like how villagers can ask to play hide-n-seek, they could ask you to bring them the ball, which would activate a little soccer mini-game or something like that.

Also I miss the gyroid collection with Brewster, the marquee where you could see Frillard, and when villagers wrote on the bulletin board saying they buried random items around town.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! That was a thing?! I'll have to try that out!

 

[Mary]

The animals used to be a lot sassier. They'd talk about wanting to punch each other.

 

[IWantPeanut]

I miss the Red Turnip D:

 

[Wholockian]

Ah! The Wishing Well
I loved that so much... Especially the whole apologising for not doing tasks

 

[korumi]

I really miss how there were so many more events. The Flea Market was one of my favorite parts of Wild World. Also they got rid of the UFO, Wisp, messages in the bottles, the fact that neighbors will not be able to be convinced to stay once they are in boxes, and the gyroid storage.

 

[Dolphishy]

I liked the ball in the Gamecube version, and though I didn't play a lot of Wild World, I liked the constellations with Celeste!

 

[3skulls]

I remember a holiday on the Gamecube version where all the villagers where at the big tree and Copper was giving all the villagers a workout. I would like to see that holiday return.

 

[guardgirl]

I really would have liked to see more of the original game cube special events transferred to new leaf. The morning aerobics, especially. I'm pretty sure it's the Mush T.V. that plays the aerobics song with what looks like a workout tape.

Along with the morning aerobics, the spring and fall sports fairs were so much fun. I used to go to the able sisters and make my own outfit to match the color of the team uniform that I wanted to play with. It was cool to play (what was the closest thing to) a minigame with my villagers.

The journal is a feature I really miss as well. You could write yourself little reminders, and it also had a calendar that would show when every event was.

Inputting codes into Nook's store was cool.

The 4th of July fireworks were so beautiful to sit and watch. My mom always worked on the 4th, so I'd end up spending the holiday watching fireworks with the villagers. It was cute how the little items sold for the holiday changed by the year too. One would have pinwheels, one would have balloons, and other things like that.

I remember in the original, one of the rooms in my house was decorated with the town models to look like my town. It had the train station, grass, the police station, etc.

Sending mail to other towns was pretty useful too.

The dump was great because I could throw away trash, pick up new items, and when there was a ball in town, I'd try to get it in the dumpster.

I have just realized the extent of how easily amused I am.

 

[Ghost Soda]

I never played CF, but apparently you could send mail to other towns without actually going there. I don't know why they got rid of that.

I preferred the private island over Club Tortimer, just because it was so relaxing, and I remember it being a really special thing at the time to compare which island villager you had. (I had O'Hare, back when he still had his deep voice!)

I like Club Torty but it'd be nice if they added in your own island house onto it like back in GC.

I miss the Acorn Festival in New Leaf so much!!
