Content from the Animal Crossing series

Tom Nook, K.K. Slider (referred to by his Japanese name, Totakeke), and Mr. Resetti are featured as trophies. The description of the trophies lists their game of origin as "Future Release", while it is listed as Doubutsu no Mori in Japan. Additionally, Tom Nook and Mr. Resetti use their original Japanese designs as Animal Crossing had not yet been released internationally.

#	Name	Image	First Game	Unlock Criteria	Description
267	Tom Nook		Future Release (Doubutsu no Mori in Japan)	Collect a total of 1,000 coins	"This guy's the friendly neighborhood shopkeeper who kindly helps the player set up his or her first house. He has a nose for business, and his customer service is second to none. During the course of the game, his store starts as a corner shop, expands to become a convenience store, and finally becomes a thriving supermarket."
268	Totakeke		Future Release (Doubutsu no Mori in Japan)	Available in single-player modes or the Lottery after playing 200 VS matches	"A wandering musician whose daily life is a bit of a mystery. He plays in front of the train station every Saturday night starting at 8.00 p.m. He has a large repertoire and plays both old and new hits from all over the world. His music is so ingrained in the villagers that it's impossible to imagine them living without it."
269	Mr. Resetti		Future Release (Doubutsu no Mori in Japan)	Defeat 5 enemies on Cruel Melee	"Prepare to receive a really long talking-to if you reset this game: the next time you play, Mr. Resetti will be waiting to deliver his best scolding. No matter what your intentions are, pressing the RESET Button will bring you face-to-face with this fervent character. Sometimes the only way to shut him up is to apologize."
