'''''Doubutsu no Mori+'''''{{Note|{{Nihongo foot|どうぶつの森{{tt|＋|プラス}}|Doubutsu no Mori Purasu|Animal Forest+}}}} is an updated port and expansion of {{DnM}} for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. It released only in Japan on December 14, 2001, just eight months after the original title. This version contains extra features that had to be left out of the [[Nintendo 64]] version, and also utilizes the GameCube's built-in clock to keep track of the date and time while dropping the Nintendo 64's original system that utilized an internal clock built into the game cartridge. {{DnM+|nolink}} cost 7,140 yen and sold 92,568 copies during its first week of sale in Japan.{{Citation Needed}}

Compared to {{DnM|nolink}}, {{DnM+|nolink}} adds a significant amount of new content, including a [[museum]] for donating collectibles (of which there are also more of), a [[Able Sisters|tailor]] where players can create custom designs, many new special events hosted by [[Tortimer|the town's mayor]], and, with a [[Game Boy Advance]] connection, a [[Animal Island|tropical island]] where players can help a local [[islander]] furnish their house linked to [[Animal Island (minigame)|a special minigame]] on the GBA. A series of [[e-Reader card|cards]] for the [[e-Reader]] also released specifically for the game, featuring [[secret codes]] used to obtain items.{{Note|The connection between the e-Reader and the GameCube was not introduced until {{PG|nolink}} due to the technical capabilities of Japan's first e-Reader.}}

Due to featuring many Japanese cultural references, {{DnM+|nolink}} was extensively localized by Nintendo of America's Treehouse division, becoming {{PG}}. {{DnM+|nolink}} and {{PG|nolink}} are generally considered the same game by official Nintendo sources, but they have notable differences; many aspects of the game were altered or removed to make it more accessible to international audiences. {{PG|nolink}} also added a significant amount of new content, such as new dialogue, items, and holidays. Nintendo's main Japanese branch was so impressed with the localization of {{PG|nolink}} that they used it as the basis for {{DnMe+}}, which released in Japan on June 27th, 2003.

===Other events/visitors===
*Travelling to another town is done with GameCube memory cards, and the train ride between is seen, where either [[Rover]] or the newly added [[Blanca]] will appear.
*[[Gulliver]] gives the player unique world-themed furniture instead of a random furniture item.
*The player is now able to participate in the [[morning aerobics]].
*[[Redd]] sells [[fan]]s, [[pinwheel]]s or [[balloon]]s at the [[Fireworks Festival]] instead of Totakeke's songs.

===Items===
{{Research Needed}}
*Two shirts are unique to {{DnM|nolink}}, having been redesigned in later releases:
**'''{{I|I Love 64 Shirt|Doubutsu no Mori}}''' (redesigned as '''{{I|I Love GC Shirt|DnM+}}'''  — Worn by [[Paolo]])
**'''{{I|N Cube Shirt|Doubutsu no Mori}}''' (redesigned as '''{{I|G Logo Shirt|Animal Crossing}}''' in ''Doubutsu no Mori+'' and ''Animal Crossing'' — Worn by [[Cube]])
*Two paintings are exclusive to the N64 game: the [[Dreadful Painting]] and the [[Novel Painting]], which are not obtainable in the normal course of play in later versions, likely due to the source artworks still being under copyright at the time.{{Note|''{{wp|The Scream}}'' and ''Composition with Red, Yellow and Blue'', the respective basis for the Dreadful and Novel Paintings, would eventually enter the public domain in 2015 alongside the rest of {{wp|Edvard Munch}} and {{wp|Piet Mondrian}}'s portfolios.}} These items also exist in the code of the Japanese release of {{PG}} and can be brought over from an N64 save file via Nintendo's now-discontinued [[Data Moving Service]], but cannot be added to the [[catalog]] in the GameCube game. (In the international release of {{PG|nolink}} and in {{DnMe+}}, the items are removed entirely, with their index numbers instead pointing to duplicates of the [[List of prerelease and unused content in Animal Crossing#DUMMY items|DUMMY]] placeholder furniture.)
*Ten more [[NES games]] are added, and now have their game title as names instead of just being called "Famicom".
*[[Golden tools]] are added, and the standard {{I|Axe|PG}} is now breakable.
*The "Items" section of the [[catalog]] now includes tools and other handheld items in addition to umbrellas.
*Some non-furniture items, such as tools, appear as sprites inside [[Tom Nook's store]] and the player's [[Player house|house]]. In all later games, they appear as 3D models when placed in interiors.
*[[Secret code]]s are added; they must be mailed to villagers to redeem them.

===Bugs and fish===
*When releasing a [[fish]], the fish dives directly into the water like in all later games, instead of bouncing on the ground once.
*[[Insect]]s can roam between acres, but not out to sea. This is reversed in ''Doubutsu no Mori+'' and ''Animal Crossing''.
*New fish can now be found in the sea, river, and holding pond: the [[Sea Bass]], [[Red Snapper]], [[Barred Knifejaw]], [[Jellyfish]], [[Arapaima]], [[Crawfish]], [[Frog (fish)|Frog]], and [[Killifish]].
*New insects are added: [[Pill Bug]], [[Mole Cricket]], [[Mosquito]], [[Pondskater]], [[Ant]], [[Bagworm]], [[Spider]], and [[Snail]].
*The [[Coelacanth]] appears from 4 PM to 9 AM instead of just 4 PM to 9 PM and 4 AM to 9 AM, and no longer can appear in [[snow]], only rain.

===Game Boy Advance connectivity===
By connecting to a [[Game Boy Advance]] via a [[GameCube – Game Boy Advance link cable]] players can access the [[island]], play [[NES games]], and scan [[Animal Crossing-e]] cards with the [[e-Reader card]] to access special items, patterns, and mini-games. Certain NES games can be transferred to the Game Boy Advance to play on the go, and the island can be downloaded to a Game Boy Advance to play after returning to the player's town.

===Other changes===
*A white Nintendo logo is displayed upon starting the game instead of the Nintendo 64 cube logo.
*Three items can be kept in a [[storage unit]] as opposed to only one.
*Only all [[aircheck]]s can be stored in a [[stereo]] instead of just one at a time.
*[[Stationery]] is sold in packs of four for {{Currency|Bells|160}} instead of individually for {{Currency|Bells|60}}.
*The player can only hold a maximum of 50,000 Bells rather than 99,999.
*Multiple items can be selected when selling at [[Tom Nook's store]].
*Most items dropped on the ground outside appear now have more specific sprites, such as the individual tools, instead of the few common ones from {{DnM|nolink}}.
*The game now utilizes the GameCube controller's rumble feature.

==Development==
{{See also|Animal Crossing/Staff|label1=List of Animal Crossing staff}}
In a pre-E3 interview published in the July 2000 issue of [[Nintendo Power]] magazine, {{Wp|Shigeru Miyamoto}} mentions that he is working on launch titles for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], stating: ''"One title is really a new genre of game—what we are calling a "communication" game, which we hope to finish this summer."'' That game, {{DnM+|nolink}}, would be released a year and a half later in December 2001, two months after the launch of the GameCube in Japan, and eight months after {{DnM|nolink}}. When questioned about upcoming [[Nintendo 64]] games in a separate E3 2000 interview with IGN, Miyamoto states that he hopes to have ''"...a couple of new games for Nintendo 64 by the end of the year. These are not standard action-type games. We are calling them 'communication games'."''<ref>{{Cite web|author=IGN|date=June 5, 2000|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010821065247/http://ign64.ign.com/news/20423.html|title=Interview: Miyamoto and Aonuma|site=ign64.ign.com|archive-date=August 21, 2001|retrieved=May 1, 2021}}</ref> This would suggest that {{DnM|nolink}} and {{DnM+|nolink}} may have been developed concurrently.

Despite being released near the end of the [[Nintendo 64]]'s lifespan, {{DnM}} sold through its entire print run. The success of the game, paired with the inability to produce enough cartridges to meet demand, encouraged the development team to port the game to the [[Nintendo GameCube]] with minor enhancements under the Japanese title {{DnM+|nolink}}.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Wired Staff|date=April 7, 2006|url=https://www.wired.com/2006/04/interview-the-w-2/|title=Interview: The Wild World of Katsuya Eguchi|site=Wired|retrieved=November 8, 2020}}</ref> Taking advantage of the greater memory capacities of the GameCube, the team included new features that could not be added to the original game, such as [[Animal Island]]. The North American localization, {{PG|nolink}}, was released eight months later.
