Old School AC Week: Old School Homage Photo Event

[Blood Eclipse]

Here's my homage to the original Nook's Cranny from Animal Crossing for the GameCube, complete with Nook in his adorable apron. I actually made the QR for Nook's outfit myself, although it's based on one I saw online.

And a bonus picture because I couldn't get the clock in the shot with everything else.

This is the original interior design of Agent S from Wild World.
She is one of my favorite villagers and I even dressed my mayor like I always
had her dressed in Wild World!

 

[Verecund]

I loved the Bright Nights event from Wild World because the houses looked so pretty! Although you can't put lights on houses in HHD, I gave Bree, who won Bright Nights in my town this year, a brightly lit front yard and made the house similar to how one of the villager house styles looks in WW. Also featuring a trophy for the win and my character wearing the blue retro shirt, which was one of my favourite shirts in WW but is no longer available in newer games now that the pattern is only on a dress.

I do not own chief's amiibo card so that is the best i can do. Made an easel with chief drawn on it. I'm not dressed correctly as me in Wild World but i havent really play HHD for a while, so that the best i can do with clothing
it may look simple and easy to make but it gives me many memories

"Rain, sleet, snow, or hail,
we'll deliver what you mail!"

Recreation of the post office in ACGC. Remember when you had to mail fossils to the museum to get them analysed? Thank you Blathers.​

 

[MatchaMoonlight]

I tried to recreate the GracieGrace store from City Folk using Happy Home Designer. I used similar wallpaper and flooring, and I featured items that might be sold there during the spring.

 

[Maiana]

In my town, I have a game dream visitors can play (to the right of my train station.) I thought it would be nice to pay homage to the Treasure Hunts that were featured in Population Growing! They were one of my favorite's growing up and it was always nice when I was able to dig up the treasure! (i hope nobody did this because I didn't look at everyone's entry asdfghjkl)

 

[Hat']

As I am very original, I decided to recreate Celeste's observatory in Happy Home designer! I also added a little room for her and Blathers, as they live together. I made it quite simple and modest looking with what I had.
I also chose Celeste and her observatory because I love space and I adored her little observatory in City Folk. I thought it was just so cozy and cute.
Here are my entries!

My entry:

Recreation of my very first house from the game cube times, when I got my first furniture item, a green bed.
(Had to use this bulkier item as the small cardboard box, since there's no much closer resembling box in my HHD catalogue yet, same with journal calendar.)

 

[Lavamaize]

Here is the Bus Stop from Animal Crossing City Folk! It's shows the bus stop sign and the place where you stand, as well as the bus! I also added a busing station just to make it look more like a bus stop!

 

[SensaiGallade]

Wild World was my first Animal Crossing game, so to be able to pay homage to the game that let me fall in love with the series means a lot. Here I've recreated my favourite villagers house, Bunnie, with a birthday twist. I used to always make the effort to spend time with Bunnie, mailing her the lovely series, doing all her chores and eventually getting her picture!

 

[Stella-Io]

My little homage to AC:City Folk! I decided to recreate Gracie's shop since I would shop there so often. I made the furniture display featuring some of her autumn collection, autumn inspired clothes -since many of her clothes do not appear in PC; the witch dress and hat is a reference to the original witch's robe and hat- and even had to include her signature display, featuring her Gracie pattern. I even made my character look like my City Folk character.

At first I wanted to recreated the post office because they removed the trash and back in the day I looked daily if there were new items, but Pocket Camp didn't have the items I needed, so I went with something else/simpler (Pocket Camp is the only new game I own):

Spoiler: Entry pictures

I recreated the bedroom/attic from Wild World (top, 4 beds) and Lets go to the City (bottom, one bed). I played both games a lot back then, so I recreated both, even tough I had the lab bench as my bed in both cases, but unfortunately I wasn't able to find it in Pocket Camp. I really hope they make a return in some kind in New Horizons!

 

[Holla]

My picture pays homage to Wild World (also City Folk, but I didn?t have wifi back in the day so local wireless in Wild World was the only time I got to use the town gates). As you can see, I designed my villager?s shirt to look like Copper?s and Booker?s gate guard outfits (you can see what they looked like in the current banner at the top of the page for comparison).

While dressed like this I had my villager visit Copper who is currently working at the police station in New Leaf. He really seemed to appreciate the throwback to his Wild World/City Folk days. ^_^

 

[MasterM64]

When I think of old school homage, I immediately think about Animal Island in the GameCube AC. The beach set that is found in every AC game was originally attainable from this island by connecting your GBA to the GameCube and I finally was able to make a complete room of it on New Leaf! Due to that, I feel like this room pays homage to the GameCube AC in my mind (I even have K.K. Island playing in the room which is based on the Animal Island theme ).

EDIT: Whoa, I just realized I captured this picture at 8:28 on 8/28!

 

[The Pennifer]

This is a great homage, MasterM And incredible timing!!!

 

[ZetaFunction]

When I was younger and played AC:WW all the time, I would always end up taking long breaks from the game, and my town would end up messy, villagers moving in and out, and weeds up the wazoo. My town was pretty much always constant chaos in WW, but it was still really peaceful and relaxing in a strange way, and I still would say it's one of my favorite games I played as a kid.

In respect of WW playing a big part of me getting into games as I got older, this is a homage to my old messy WW town, and I think I might actually keep a part of my NL town (and future NH town) purposely messy and ugly af like this to honor it.

Hopefully I got the image in on time! It's based on the Town Gate from Wild World and City Folk. It's simple but I think it's effective. The suits of armor represent Booker and Copper.

Spoiler: Town Gate Scene

What it's based on:

Unfortunately 3DS Image Share has stopped working for me, so I was forced to take a picture with my camera instead. To clarify, this is a photo of my 3DS in a dark room in the 3DS Camera application viewing a screenshot I took of this event. I hope this is okay, because it's really my only option at the moment.

"Remember, citizen, it's important to rehydrate after exercising! Which drink would you like?"

When I saw this challenge, the morning aerobics from Animal Crossing back on the GameCube came to mind. We might not have that feature anymore, but that's no reason to neglect your fitness!

Hopefully this counts, considering it seems pretty different from a bunch of the pictures others posted. Unfortunately we can't do the emotes in the RVs, or else I would've made it look a bit more energetic.

Sorry for the late posting, I've had a busy week and only just got around to being able to do this.

 

[will.]

heres my scene!! yes it looks like it took no effort but believe me, i spent many days trying to come with an idea!

anyway heres my explanation:
i was still in elementary school when wild world came out and i had just gotten my nintendo ds lite in probably 1st or 2nd grade. so my parents bought me wild world for one of my birthdays and i wasn't too excited. i remember playing it, but being EXTREMELY confused as to what on earth is going on. i remember riding in the car to the city, and i remember naming my character and all the stuff and i got to my house and i just didn't know what to do. i literally just sat in my house for AGES trying to remember what to do. so this picture represents me opening up wild world for the first time, being overwhelmed by what this game was, and closing the game and never opening it up again until a couple months ago!! i actually really enjoy that game now, but playing the first time was no fun for me lol.
