An interview was published with Leslie Swan who was the localization manger for dozens of Nintendo games, including Animal Crossing and played a part in its history.
The whole interview is very interesting (she voice acted Peach in Mario 64!), but of course I really recommend the part about Animal Crossing!
Interesting that the reason “Forest” was taken out was due to legal reasons. “Animal Acres” would’ve been a fun title too if it had worked!
I was always interested in the process behind localizing GC since it became so different from the original so I’m glad I could have so many questions answered in this.
Here is the full article!
