I love all the small details in ac games. It shows how much work they put into the game. I thank you for sharing I don’t think I would have noticed if you hadn’t.
Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition
- Thread starter Romaki
- Start date
Some of you already know this, but others probably don't: If you live in North America, Spork is called Crackle in English PAL regions, and vice-versa. It's been like this since City Folk, and it's interesting that "Crackle" was once again kept for this game. The NTSC and PAL cards also show this difference.
The GameCube Animal Crossing has his name as "Spork" in both regions.

I did not know that :OOO
I have Spork in NL. I have nothing against him, but I’m surprised he hasn’t asked to leave yet.

It seems like the Shamrock Wand DIY is only available by balloon in the week of Mar. 10th-Mar. 17th??? Are there any other DIYs that are limited to a single week that I should be watching out for?!
So, Sylvana's shocked reaction apparently has her pupils shrunken and cross-eyed instead of being centered like most villagers whose pupils normally rest left or right, such as Katt. I've never had her as a villager or encountered her in HHP, but seeing that for the first time kind of surprised me.

So cute! 
I've only been playing this game for 3.5 years. 
Today (well, a few hours ago, rather) I learned that Timmy and Tommy have awful names in Spanish. 
Were they always called Nendo and Tendo or whatever it was?? (i get the pun, but still...) I'm a proficient Spanish speaker, but since I had to restart my New Horizons save file for certain reasons, I figured I'd play it in Spanish this time 'cause the villager dialog sucks Zipper T Bunny eggs, 
so maybe reading it in a different language would help. 
It'll take some time getting used to these name changes.....

So, with the handheld camera, I already knew that with the arrows you can go up and down for a better angle.
I did not realise use the right and left arrows on the left joycon to tilt the camera! Found out when I taking pictures of the blossoms trees at night!!

There's other fake art that can appear unusual at certain times if placed. For example, the Scary Painting can have the guy either smiling or frowning. These scenarios can be seen in Redd's boat as well if he's trying to sell them, though not all fake art have traits like this.
Well, guess that gave me inspiration to go film an Animal Crossing remake of Battlefield Earth...So, with the handheld camera, I already knew that with the arrows you can go up and down for a better angle.

I already knew you could tilt the camera in handheld mode, but I really wanted to make a terrible movie joke lol
You so lucky I can't bonk people anymore XD

Wowzers!
TIL: If you do the Fishing Tourney with multiple players the 500 bell fee will be waived and there's a 5-point bonus if 5 or more fish are caught between them. I haven't done actual multiplayer yet (beyond trading) and I just learned through here: https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Fishing_Tourney#Multiplayer
Now I want to try this out tomorrow!

As an update to this post:
With the fake ancient statues glowing “face” and floating ability, I made a bunch of Flying Saucers and have them scattered around my island with a LOT of the fake statues to look like an alien invasion. (I’ve been stalking Nookazon to load up on the fake statues!)
My villagers seem to love this, as I’ve seen a number of them touching the statues to make them float, and taking their phones out to take a picture!

Apparently, there's a cherry blossom Kappa island that's separate from the spring-variant Kappa island. I know that the spring Kappa island is only available if you play through the end of spring so I was very surprised to see cherry blossom trees when I arrived. I guess that the maple leaf Kappa island is probably separate from the fall-variant Kappa island too, right? I haven't encountered any differences in the summer and winter Kappa islands.
As far as I know, Kapp'n islands like that tend to appear out-of-season. For example, you may get a winter-themed island if your own island is experiencing summer, and vice versa. It's a nice way to stack DIY materials out-of-season, but you've got to get lucky as only one island can be visited a day.
I already knew these nit bits, but essentially, in HHP:
- If a villager determines that you put effort into their home (aka spend more than about 15 minutes decorating or remodeling), then there's a chance that you can randomly obtain a wallpaper or flooring item from their house if you talk to them at the archipelago. It's another way to obtain otherwise hard-to-find wallpaper and flooring that you can only get through Saharah.
- You can still talk to the villagers that are on the floaty rings out in the sea. Just go directly straight in front and hit A. You won't obtain anything from them for obvious reasons, however.
- This one's kinda obvious, but you're not limited to creating houses for villagers only found on the beach. You can go into any of the facilities and create houses for villagers that may appear randomly.
- You can collect and keep the glowing moss and vines that are seen North on the archipelago. They'll grow back over time, as they act like weeds otherwise.
