Other Hints and Secrets
Get NES Games:
There are a few other ways to obtain NES games, but here are a few:
- When you’re done running errands for Nook, you’ll receive a “welcome package” with three items. Two of them are NES games.
- Talk to the neighbors and eventually one of them will ask you when your birthday is, especially if you choose the 2nd talk option once in a while. Tell them and, on your birthday, one of the neighbors will visit with a present for you, a NES!
- When you go to the Island (special GBA connection), give the villager a shovel and he might dig out a NES game. You can then try to bribe him with fruit.
- On Christmas’ Eve, you’ll get a NES game on the mail. Yeay!
Pick a Song from Totakeke
Fill your pockets so you can’t carry any more items. Go to the concert and hear the song. Totakeke (a.k.a. K.K. Slider) will realize you don’t have room to store his music track. Keep coming back with your pockets full and listen to the different songs. When you hear one you like, come back with space in your pockets, request the song, and when he’s done singing you’ll get the copy you wanted.
Talk to the Neighbors
Talk to the neighbors you come across a few times. They might get angry, but you’ll also find out more about them and they might play games with you or ask you to do errands for them so you can get objects as a reward.
Making Mr. Resetti Angry and meeting Don Resetti
Turn off the Gamecube without saving, and Resetti will show up to give you his lecture. Keep doing it and he’ll get even angrier! At some point, his brother Don will be the one lecturing you, and if you insist in not saving (about 60 times), Mr. Resetti will come back and kick out everyone in town to give you a lesson.
Make your Neighbors Angry
Walk into the neighbors and push them around or hit them with the shovel or bug net. They’ll become mad and steam will come out of their heads.
Changing the Clock
You can hold A and B when the Gamecube logo appears before you start any games. There you can change the date and time so you can play on a different date in Animal Crossing. The other option is to start the game and select “Before I go…” You can change the game’s clock here without affecting the Gamecube’s clock and therefore other games. Either way, it’s always best to just play on the current date and time. If you change the clock back and forth you may miss stuff like special objects, so it’s not recommended to disrupt the programmed chain of events in Animal Crossing.
Nature’s Punishment
Play your game at least once a week, or the next time you go back to it, the town will be full of weeds and your flowers may be gone or dying. Same thing will happen if you start cheating by changing the date radically.
