Touring My Island 2 YEARS ON: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZraBmad_19SogXU.html

Turns out the Tip Jar is actually a change tray, and that tipping isn't really a thing in Japan. I appreciate all the comments pointing this out, and looks like I learned something new myself!

Timmy: “This is an extremely valuable recipe.” Also Timmy: 200 bells take it or leave it.

The tray next to the till is actually a change tray. In Japanese stores, they're common so the cashier and customer don't have to touch hands while change is being handed out. In Japan, tipping can actually be seen as rude, because it implies that the cashier doesn't make a liveable wage.

My favourite: if another resident is looking at something, as if deciding whether or not to buy it, go buy it right in front of them and watch them be shocked at your nerve 🤣🤣

It's not a tip jar. In Japan it's almost rude to hand the cashier money, especially change. Trays are used to hand over money. You put your money on the tray, cashier takes it and gives you your change back on the tray. :)

I always loved being in Nooks Cranny 10 minutes before closing. The background song changes to something cool only heard in that building for 10 minutes until they kick me out. Timmy and Tommy must hate me as a customer, though! 😎

Another small detail is that on Timmy and Tommy's normal hats is that the yellow clip on the back is actually a bell! (as in the money)

"Your paying extra bells to get a different aesthetic" Yes. Welcome to my life.

With the special tools, such as outdoorsy/ colorful, etc., You can customize them after using them awhile. This doesn't just change their color, it resets their durability and makes them new again. So the extra bells are worth it!

"You're paying extra bells for a different aesthetic" Yea, everything has to be pink and cute

The extra bells is worth it because the Outdoorsy tools can be Customized...which also resets their durability...which makes them virtually priceless. Virtually priceless because Customization Kits cost Bells, but are relatively cheap compared to how many times you'd be buying another standard tool or crafting another standard tool with materials you could easily sell for enough Customization Kits to more than offset the amount if standard tools they'd craft.

It is possible to stay in Nook's Cranny after hours. Just use the 'Sit' reaction before 10PM, and you can stay as long as you want. Apparently the Nooklings respect a sit-in strike...

2:08 Actually, in City Folk on random nights you were able to go to the reset surveillance center where Mr. Resetti and Don Resetti pretty much lived. It was in the city going to the right side where it's usually closed off. Also in New Leaf if you decide to add the RSC public works project. If it rained or snowed the day before, and it's clear the next day, you could visit between 9PM to 12AM. After 6 or 7 visits, you would get both of their pictures.

I love the dialogues when villagers browse at the most expensive item on sale. Uchis will be like "who even has that?!" Crankies will say daylight robbery. Lazies will say that's so much worth of snacks or smth like that. If it's a large 2x2 but inexpensive item they will also comment on how they have no space at home for it.

I hope Nintendo make an update for another Nooks Cranny update. I would love for a two story building

Didn't know about the tool durability, so thanks for pointing that out! I love the seasonal changes to the storefront and outfits/hats Timmy & Tommy wear throughout the year.

Me, who's been spending my money on the different tool this whole time thinking it'd last longer:

Today I learned: Ive been scammed on tools for over a year 😭

Don’t be that rude customer who stays past closing time. Let the twins clock out for the day

You should do “8 secrets of the Tailor Shop” if you havent

The little tray is a change tray!

Keep up the secret/hidden details series! I love them🤣

Honestly for the tools thing, it only really applies to the slingshot, as the other tools are the base "flimsy" versions and will break in 10 uses (though I think it's a little more for the Flimsy Axe) instead of 30, so the cheaper price makes more sense in that regard. It makes me wonder if there was concept of a "flimsy slingshot" before the final release, and that's why the regular slingshot is placed and priced with the "flimsy" tools

One thing I love about Nook’s Cranny is that if you travel to the island of someone who speaks a different language, the Nook’s sign will be in that language.

Was villager hunting while watching and ended up finding Bob! I took that as a sign that he had to come to my island. Let's go Bob's gang!

The tip jar would be such a good way to have more conversations with timmy and tommy. If you tip it makes them talk to you or something.

I didn’t know about the tool durability being the same. Thank you for helping me save bells going forward. 😀

Didnt know which video to comment these 2 unique dialogue things on! 1. If you try to invite an amiibo to your camp site WHILE they are moving in, you get redirected to their answering machine voice mail 2. If you try to fly out while wearing your construction gear, the dodos talk about being made fun of if they didnt ask you to change 😁

5:35 If you look SUPER close at the plant in the left window, it grows and dies with the seasons too

I actually like this building, I wouldn't want a masive store in the island, it would look kind of out of place Xd

I didn’t know if this got fixed so I tried tonight; you can stay in Nook’s Cranny after it closes if you use the sit down reaction. Once you stand up though, they kick you out.

I don’t think that’s a tip jar btw. In Japanese culture, it’s very usually to put a customers receipt in a little cup and transfer it over to them during their transaction. So I think that’s what it’s actually for.

I so want another floor! And I want to be able to customize the exteriors of my shops and Resident Services! And I want more customization options for my house! … I want a lot of things 😂

Not me tricking myself into thinking the fancy tools had more durability…

If you do the sit down reaction before they close and wait until ten, they won’t kick you out. They’ll just stare at you.

Okay this is unlikely: BUT WHAT IF THAT STAIRCASE WILL LEAD TO BREWSTERS COFFEE SHOP?! Like you have to upgrade the store somehow and there’s a little cafe up there?! That would be so cool!!!

Actually, I think customising the special tools resets it's durability

I used my side characters to make houses for the Nooks, Isabelle, The Dodos, coming soon the Ables, and an inn for visiting NPCs because I think the upstairs is just storage for their merchandise.

There's still a reason to buy the fancy item when it comes to the utilities. With the printed shovel for instance, you can customize it which gives it its full durability back. Customizing it is only the cost of one kit. You can't customize the plain ones.

I had to turn on subtitles for a while since i had to be quiet, and at 6:23 it said nukes cranny instead of nooks cranny 😂

6:58 I definitely knew that and last night I discovered another similar secret that I don’t think anyone knows and I can’t confirm, but last night at 9:59pm seconds before it changed to 10:00pm, I heard strange music in Nook’s Cranny that I have never heard anywhere else in the game!

There's a poster for Jozo the Elephant, a real life styled elephant, not a villager elephant on the far western wall that seems to be advertising a circus, part of me theorizes that maybe the Nooklings were found by Tom Nook at the circus and they were performers there. Next to it appears to be a vintage style advertisement for a gumball machine but that's more of a guess.

Oh my gosh number 3 totally shocked me I have always bought the more expensive ones thinking they were more durable

I knew the one where they kick you after closing times, the one where they say wait.. when you sell them the items they gave you and the seasonal shop decorations. Im also a big fan of them aswell btw

I shot like Hundreds of Balloons every Month I play Animal Crossing. And I always thought that the Colorful and Outdoor Slingshot is better than the normal Slingshot. But wow, I was so wrong. I guess there's a saying that looks ain't anything. I mean I'm not acting greedy but why would you buy a more expensive good looking slingshot oppose to a cheaper wooden slingshot that has the same durability? Maybe that's why I don't ever consider using Golden Tools because they do break eventually and finding those Gold Nuggets too are such a pain to deal with

I loved the ear hats during Halloween! When I saw them the first time I kinda squealed from them being so cute. lol

With the new dlc coming out, it would be really cool if some of the final levels would be spent decorating or upgrading a living space for the NPCs!

At minute 05:00 that is actually not a tipping jar In Japan it is common to not give the money directly into the cashiers hands or the counter top but to put it into such a little bowl. Since Nintendo is located in Japan I asume that's what it should resemble

You can make them engage in some little actions using Reactions (like, taking a photo of them or clapping) and their animations are the cutest 😳

Oh! I wanted to tell you. One of my friends saw this weird feature of the music. It sounded like a forest pond with fireflies and mushrooms at night. Kind of like something you would get from disney. By the way, it was 9:56 in the game and the rest of the days didn't have the same music.

Human being: Nook's Cranny Captions: *NUKES CRANNY*

The benefit of the more expensive tools is goh can customize them to reset the durability. One customizer is 600, and you can do this indefinitely. Which I'm sure saves you money in the long run.

here in japan, people don't tip. it is actually frowned upon and that little tray is what you put the money in and give to the cashier :)

Actually i love the radio if u set it next to your crafting bench you can listen while you craft

Thank you for the tip with the slingshot! I actually kept buying the more expensive one because I thought it lasted longer! (I think this is the case with the shovel and the axt so I assumed it would be the same with the slingshot) From now on I will save money on that slingshot, thanks!

2 of my friends gave me the golden tools yesterday as well as the recipes if I get them again I'd give them to my nieces who play thanks to my friends and Nintendo support I was able to get my island back after my switch factory reset on me earlier this week 😊💖

I wish our characters would hold the shopping baskets by the tip jar/change tray, that would have been neat

5:35 I’ve always known that and thought every already knew about it so I didn’t make a video on it!

That blue thing isn't a tip jar, in japan they use these to set cards and money on so everyone can know exactly how much money is being used, and where the money is

7:20 they are Tom Nook & Redd! It’s so adorable seeing them like that

6:48 Also remember that if you enter the Nooks Cranny building between 9:50 to close, there will be different music playing in the shop. It is like this somber string piece. It shocked me when I found out about it at first, but it is a nice little piece.

Great wee video. I found that Timmy and Tommy won't kick you out at 10pm if you are sitting down. You can sit for quite a while!

4:42 this kind of "tips Jar" in Japan is for money trading, in Japan we don't have "Tips", we use this plate just for trading money instead of using our hands

For 1: I kept mine and decorated my campsite with them!

i noticed the exterior changes for holidays, but i hadn't noticed the general seasonal ones! this will really help me out on my new island since i set it to the opposite hemisphere to help ease my seasonal depression. if i ever forget if the season has changed over yet i can just look at nooks lol

When you access the cabinet on your controller you push the R button it will let you look at and buy walls and flooring. I myself have gotten kicked out of Nooks and Cranny, I found it funny. Most of the information you mentioned I knew thanks to watching videos like yours. Thanks.

the blue tray isn't a tips jar in japan we use it to put money in because the bottom is usually bumpy so its easier to pick it up and so it doesn't get dirty or cross contaminated

Hey, they won't kick you out if you're sitting And they won't kick you out if you invite a friend (online, not local) and you're both in it

Timmy and Tommy scamming me the whole time….. WITH A SMILE 👁👄👁

the lil halloween hats timmy n tommy wear actually made me cry the other day bc of how cute it is :’)

People saying ir wouldn't make sense to be able to go into their bedroom's so we won't be getting it in an update, but in New Leaf you could unlock the inside of the RSS where Resseti and Ron lived.

These are such fun videos. Thank you. I love all the details. I like the seasonal items that tie in with events or the season. Also, if you find a villager in the shop and buy what they were interested in, you'll make them so happy. Also, Bob's Gang.

Lol I set up a campsite with those items you get at start so I never would’ve saw that 😂 that’s hilarious

Not sure if anyone has mentioned, but the bulletin board outside the shop has the hot items of the day listed. Thanks for your video!

They also change the music before they close :)

I only liked the hats Timmy and Tommy wear because I can tell who's who! 😂 Great video, I didn't realize most of this! When I sold my tent stuff, I sold things in the recycling box and thought that's why Timmy made the reaction. When I got the Nook's Cranny update, I noticed the stairs and I was creeped out. 😬👍 On my island, my daily routine is: Step 1. Visit The Able Sisters Step 2. Talk to my villagers. Step 3. Look for any balloons in the sky Step 4. Change my outfit (I visit The Able Sisters WAY to often 🤫). Step 5. Enjoy my island life and do whatever

For some reason you can use the sitting reaction to avoid getting kicked out from nooks cranny but when you get up they will kick you out

I saw the latter too I didn't knew they had a bedroom upstairs

Bob's Gang in the comments! I think they're a little put off that you're selling them something they GAVE you. Like how dare you profit off their generosity. Oh! I loved the reaction you got to you selling the Golden Net recipe. I enjoyed seeing all four of the facades at once, so you could see all the differences. I hope Nook's does get a bit of an update, I loved the way it was in City Folk, with it's changes, even it's hours of operation, based on it's current level. This was a super cute video, thanks!

Never knew we could get kicked out of the shop...I have to try it!!😄 Loved the video and I love Timmy and Tommy they are super cute.

I just restarted my island on my switch lite to try to reignite my passion for ACNH again since I've been ignoring it for a while so I'm enjoying this video.

It’s actually Spring down here in the Southern Hemisphere, and Nook’s Cranny has the pumpkin decorations out for Halloween.

OMG- ON THE LAST ONE, DID YOU SEE THAT STRETCH TIMMY DID- AWWWWW

the music in Nooks Cranny changes to weird ominous music at about 9:55 PM.

I loved the video ! just one thing curious about the tip thing. I can tell you is common in Japan to have that thing on the desk of shops and is only to drop the money instead of giving money hand to hand which is not polite in Japan :)

Crossing channel: they are actually scamming you. Me: buys 50 duck fishing rods

Despite playing for a year, the way I’ve just always assumed and purchased the different tools, because I thought they lasted longer LOL

Well, with the nooks cranny variants there is a Halloween one, the pumpkins are there alot like the fall one but carved, the window’s background is purple instead of brown and there are bats instead of leaves on the top!

Timmy and Tommy are adorable and I will protect them with my life

0:18 Timmy and Tommy bopping along like “Go white boy go”

Timmy and Tommy have some cute hats! Tho I'm concerned that it resembles Crazy Redd

That's honestly so cute that they want to have a perfect bedtime

Ya missed something ; the nooks cranny before closing song, it changed at around 9:50 - 9:52

Bob's Gang: My human mind was thinking that square dish was an *GASP* ashtray. My bad.

If you go sit in Nooks Cranny , you can stay until you get up. Then Timmy or Tommy will kick you out.

For you selling the items they gave to you… I think it’s more of… “we’re loosing money by selling this thing that they got for free from US,” I think it’s more that they’re seeing it as kinda rude, since it was a gift from their uncle and company they work for

I never knew the tools one I'ma keep that in mind. Thank you!!

does anybody else talk to Tommy first because he usually just echoes whatever Timmy says? i always feel like he can never get a word in lol

Pretty sure that’s not a tip jar. I think it’s a tray that you put money on to pay for stuff. This is a common thing that happens in stores in Japan. You don’t hand them money directly, but you put it on a little plate and slide the plate over to the cashier
