'''''Dōbutsu no Mori+''''' (どうぶつの森+, lit. Animal Forest+), often referred to as '''''Animal Forest+''''' in English, is an updated version of ''[[Dōbutsu no Mori (game)|Dōbutsu no Mori]]'' for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] released only in Japan on December 14, 2001, just nine 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. With the use of the GameCube's clock, time passes in the game even when the game is not being played. This led to the game's slogan, "It's playing, even when you're not". Dōbutsu no Mori+ cost 7,140 yen and sold 92,568 copies during its first week of sale in Japan.
 
 
 
During Dōbutsu no Mori+'s localization process overseas as ''Animal Crossing'', there were many changes that not only involved immense translation from Japanese to English, but also replacements of many cultural references as well as brand new content, including new holidays, new items and new or altered events. After the success of Animal Crossing, Nintendo of Japan was so impressed with the results of the translation done by Nintendo of America's Treehouse division that they translated NOA's version back into Japanese and released it as Dōbutsu no Mori e+. Dōbutsu no Mori e+ was released in Japan on June 27th, 2003, and sold 91,658 copies during its first week of sale.
