I feel like the "to discolor" meaning is a bit more likely lol

Right, people on my Japanese ultimate team would often say "nuke" (ぬけ) when someone was subbing out of the playing line.

​@@YeahImRose Hmm...that’s technically possible...? But I can’t confidently say that one might use the word 抜け by itself (without mentioning 色) to mean discoloration. Normally you have to say “getting COLORS out” (色を抜く, 色が抜ける) to mean it.

@@user-oc5mw3fe3x Yeah but consider they're just making a variable name, they're gonna shorthand stuff one way or another usually

​@@YeahImRose As a native speaker, that interpretation didn’t naturally come to mind, but I don’t deny the possibility depending on the naming scheme. Maybe some dictionaries list “to discolor” as a possible translation but I’d like to make it clear that _nuke_ 抜け itself just means something (occupant/member/part/soul/filler/ingredient) becoming absent or getting removed from inside something, not specifically colors.

omg hi dino i'm subbed to you i loved your tomodachi life video it's how i found you :)

About that...

We may all be different, but we all suffer from the wrath of resetti. 😂

oh hey wsp? my sis watches u sometimes :)

Is the English translation any different for the PAL versions? I know some Nintendo games have different English translations between the NA and EU versions (Tomodachi Life is a major example of this).

​@@bigbangbot-SuperSqankit's probably a little different, but given it's directly based on the American version and not the Japanese version, it's probably not that different.

​@@bigbangbot-SuperSqank it really varies. We have English and all the common languages in one game and I can't speak for every country but in Australia, you'll often open your australian game case to reveal a UK, German or French disc/cartridge instead of an Aussie one and regardless of what version you get, it defaults to English and asks for your language. The PAL localisation is based off the US one as it's already translated to English. Sometimes it's identical and sometimes there's changes made as PAL releases are usually done after the NTSC release. These changes are sometimes bug fixes, translation/spelling errors, censorship often due to some innocent things being slang for highly inappropriate things in the UK (don't think they care about Australia but our inappropriate slang is very similar to UK slang), often things involving WW2 and Germany are highly censored, some names may be changed to reflect the Japanese version or due to censorship and legal issues (Star Fox becoming Lylat Wars is a good example) sometimes we actually get things that were censored in US releases restored in our release. So overall while it can vary, a majority of the time it's identical save for the odd censorship or bit of slang that makes no sense here. We also get our own versions in Australia sometimes. Ratchet and Clank 3 in Europe is just called that due to censorship, however in Australia we have the original name "Up Your Arsenal". Another example is Pokemon Crystal has some changes over here when compared to the UK release and looking at my save when dumping it from my legit cartridges (my brother has had them brand new since 1999 and 2000 and I still have the manuals for them so I know they're not counterfeit), Pokemon Yellow and Emerald (I purchased a few years ago when I lost Sapphire but have opened it up to replace the battery and confirmed it's legit) also have Australian roms but I have no clue if they're any different to the other PAL games as I haven't played them

I know it’s a case by case basis and it is a tossup whether Australia literally gets the EU version of a game or a unique release (as a separate point). I was mainly curious about Animal Crossing specifically (more specifically the English translation for EU/AUS, not the differences between the two from each other). I know the EU and AUS versions of the game differ a bit.

@@bigbangbot-SuperSqank if there are differences, the cutting room floor usually lists them. I used to just browse games I like on that website to see unused content, region differences and anti piracy measures. If there are text differences documented, it would be on tcrf/the cutting room floor. Take a look and hope you find what you're looking for or other interesting things!

Only country to have ever been nuked by another country. Technically, you can say that the US, USSR, UK, France, China, India, Pakistan and North Korea have also been "nuked" (by themselves)

Didn’t the USA bomb themselves (bikini akoll)

​@fuseegelee by that logic, every country with nukes has nuked themselves

​@@fuseegeleeMany hundreds of nuclear weapons were dropped on America main land. New Mexico got hit hard.

Basically the game allows for special e-Reader cards which contain character data to be scanned, and it will read that data (name, textures, house, etc) and put the villager in your town. All the characters new to e+ work this way, you have to have their card. One neat thing is a Japanese magazine actually held a contest to design a villager who would then have an official card distributed for them, Nindori. Because the game's just reading villager data, we can take advantage of this feature and, because the format has been figured out, use Cuyler's program to create custom villagers.

​@@Chubby_Bub it's pretty crazy that they basically added a modding API to a gamecube game

I want to hear more about this too! a full video on it would be great, i've always thought custom villagers is a cool idea.

GameCube Raymond when

@@sheepuff5999 the dam has collapsed, the beans are spilling 🤯🤯🤯

Not just an entire game, freaking *animal crossing* of all things. A game so large in scale that 20 years later, fans still haven't completed a full complete English translation of e+.

It was a different villager that handled the save data

That's why smash is the city folk villager, not the original.

EDIT: You’re correct. Some interviews were a bit overzealous with NoA’s actual contributions to implementation, and it seems Nintendo of Japan largely handled the implementation themselves in collaboration with NoA’s localization notes.

There's an interview with a couple of the localizers where they basically confirm this. The work they had to do is still incredibly impressive, especially considering how much inherently Japanese cultural content is featured in Doubutsu no Mori+, but essentially they came up with the items, holidays, etc and then had the Japanese team develop it. They also say they worked directly together to create the summer camping tents at E3 2002, which is interesting because it’s only a few months before the game released!

Outside of the language support, the EU and Australian releases are practically identical to the North American version, so I didn't spend too much time there. One of these versions may be important later on though...

@@Hunter-R. Ah, fair! European version is more personal to me really since I recall eagerly waiting for that back in the day, genuinely felt as if it was never coming out here. Huge respect though, I am looking forward to what animal crossing content you're planning in the future! ✨

it's a shame community subtitles got phased out, so it's always appreciated when channels take the time to put their own subtitles

@@Safyire_ Why would KZfaq get rid of that? 😢

@@ZimriYT I think their original claim was that the feature was abused too much, but I think it was just a cost-cutting thing. Huge shame because it was really useful for foreign language videos (anyone can add their own language as captions) and for people with hard of hearing

Tbh the auto captions work really well now, so if a video doesn’t have manual captions, I’d recommend trying the auto generated ones

@@halami2149As someone who often has to use them for medical reasons (sounds make my migraines worse), if the speaker has a heavy accent, doesn't enunciate enough for the program (which is not the same as not enunciating!), or there's multiple speakers, the autocaptions are absolutely worthless. Even native English speakers get put through the mangler if they don't speak in the very specific way the auto translate needs.

I’ve been thinking about eventually getting into live-streaming, but I’d have to wrap up a few projects first before I look into it. Animal Crossing GCN generally isn’t a super popular game to stream though, and I wonder if I’d be able to be entertaining enough in a live setting lol 🤔

@@Hunter-R. I'd watch!

@@KaidenAC count me in too!!

I never knew you liked animal crossing!

@@Hunter-R. Maybe when Cuyler gets around to finishing the e+ translation?

I'm looking around online for a fan-translation right now! There's also demand to bundle the HD texture pack with it, which would be awesome if I can run it on my Wii or on a custom Gamecube disc. I'll get back to you shortly about what I've found ^_^

Just learn Japanese. I wavered on it years ago when I was a middle schooler and wanted to play e+. It will take you a few months of dedicated study to be able to play the game reasonably comfortably. And by study, I mean playing the game itself and trying to read everything.

There is! Though, the last update I've heard of was over 2 years ago at this point. Not every text has been translated yet, and it uses the japanese keyboard rather than the international one. Just google "doubutsu no mori e+ english patch"

There is a fan translation available, but it isn't complete so some text is still in Japanese. I still recommend trying it out if you want to play the game in English.

@@Ohrami it's that easy. not hard and sluggish at all, and so so so easy

Beat me to it!

It's really eerie. The name doesn't help either. It obviously was a joke but it's creepy either way lol

"but putting a whole console in the controller was a loophole" Reminds me of how the PS2 was sold in Europe with a disc that had a BASIC interpreter on it (Yabasic), so they could claim it was a home computer for tax purposes... Not only did their argument not work, but it later turned out that Yabasic could be exploited to soft-mod the PS2...

no european languages though 😢

@@Larry_Danger sadly

Yes, I imported it because it came out over a year before the European release!

that is already possible by extracting the virtual memory card save and inserting it into a real memory card with 'gcmm'

If I recall correctly, the Zelda 64 engine is actually a heavily modified Mario 64 engine that they say took about half of OoT's development cycle to make. Mitamoto said in an interview about it that he wanted to use that engine more, so that would explain wanting to use it for Animal Crossing.

@@Aasoko wasn't OOT ones based on Star Fox 64?

@@LaFu3000 I'm not sure. When I looked into it, I found this quote from Miyamoto. "We were using the Super Mario 64 engine for Zelda, but we had to make so many modifications to it that it's a different engine now. What we have now is a very good engine, and I think we can use it for future games if we can come up with a very good concept. It took three or so years to make Zelda, and about half the time was spent on making the engine. We definitely want to make use of this engine again." It's possible that they used a modified Mario 64 to do Star Fox and modified that for Zelda, but this is the info I found.

Ah, I suppose that would make sense considering the town is frozen and converted to a "husk" of itself.

I also just wanted to write that comment! Nicely spotted c:

The only ocean fish was the coelacanth with a 10% spawn chance while raining

is the translation finished?

There is one being worked on! It is not finished, but may be in the near future.

@@Doge_OfficialAccount that's so cool!!

@@11th.death.kause.of.tamari I also have a custom villager i made in there too, if you want it.

There is a partially translated one by Cuyler. The villagers sometimes randomly speak in Japanese but it's entirely playable, and any dialogue you need to actually play the game is translated.

@@Chubby_Bub Ah I see, better than nothing I suppose. I'd still want a full translation but that'd take years with how many lines of dialogue are in the game.

Sadly this is just false. "Endings"/"Tail phrases"/"Catchphrases" were a staple feature present in the original game. Its plausible that some of them were updated when re-translation occurred to e+. However, they've been editable since Doubutsu no Mori on the N64!

@@CuylerFascinating. This was spread around a lot years ago, man you're debunking all the things!

@@Cuyler that definitely makes more sense, since "verbal tics" tend to be a more common trope in japanese stuff, nya.

I'm pretty sure there was actually an interview with the person who translated it - and it was pretty much just one person who did the entire port, with its thousands of messages, I think... An incredible amount of work, like so much of what iQue did, and massively underappreciated by Nintendo and its fans.

🤔

You can visit the surveillance center in the 3ds version, is just not always available Also you can screenshot the game with L+R (from what i can remember)

@@KARLOSPCgame I knew about the screenshot thing, but how did i miss the surveillance center for 12 years? XD
