Description
Animal Crossing, known as Dōbutsu no Mori (どうぶつの森, Dōbutsu no Mori? lit. Animal Forest) in Japan, is a life simulation video game developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo. It was first released in Japan for the Nintendo 64 on April 14, 2001. Due to limited sales because of the drastically decreasing N64 market, the game went unreleased for the N64 outside of Japan and was ported to the Nintendo GameCube in Japan on December 14, 2001; North America on September 15, 2002; Australia on October 17, 2003; and Europe on September 24, 2004. The Japanese GameCube version lacks e-Reader support, a feature found in the North American and Australian versions. A version of Animal Crossing was released in Japan with e-Reader support on June 27, 2003.
A Nintendo DS follow-up, Animal Crossing: Wild World, was released in December 2005. A second follow-up for the Wii, Animal Crossing: City Folk, was announced by Nintendo at Nintendo's E3 2008 press conference, and was released on November 16, 2008.
History
Dōbutsu no Mori Plus, the Nintendo GameCube version of Dōbutsu no Mori, was released on December 14, 2001, eight months after the original game. This version contains extra features that had to be left out in the Nintendo 64 version, and also utilizes the GameCube's built-in clock to keep track of the date and time. The Nintendo 64 version utilised a clock internal to the game cartridge. With the use of the GameCube's clock, time passes in the game even when the game is not being played. This led to the game's slogan, "It's playing, even when you're not". Dōbutsu no Mori Plus (for the GameCube) cost 7,140 yen and sold 92,568 copies during its first week of sale in Japan.
When Nintendo decided to port Dōbutsu no Mori to the Nintendo GameCube, the American version, Animal Crossing, had much more text than the Japanese version, Dōbutsu no Mori Plus, in part because of the immense translation that Nintendo undertook when translating Dōbutsu no Mori from Japanese to English. Not only did thousands of lines of text have to be translated, but the translators had to create new holidays and items. Nintendo Japan was so impressed with the results of the translation done by Nintendo of America's Treehouse division that they translated NOA's version back into Japanese and released it as Dōbutsu no Mori e-Plus. Dōbutsu no Mori e-Plus was released in Japan on June 27, 2003, and sold 91,658 copies during its first week of sale.
