| − | Different textures and models are used for trees, fruits, flowers, and houses. Furthermore, all models use very different lighting than their final release counterparts and the sky notably lacks any clouds. [[Public works project]]s had stone underneath them, much like key buildings do in the final game. Some flowers, particularly tulips. appear to have much more detailed 3D models than in the final game. | + | Different textures and models are used for trees, fruits, flowers, and houses.

| |
| − | The game, while not quite finished, looks much closer to its final state. Lighting has been substantially improved and the skybox now has clouds. Fruits and houses look very close to the final game, although the tent has a bundle of wood that was later removed. The small walkway previously seen remains, but appears to have been redone. The stone underneath public works projects has been removed, bringing them to their final appearance, and it is shown that villagers can sit on benches.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Trees and flowers have been redesigned, still appearing similar to what was shown in E3 2010 but with redone models and textures. Cedar and palm trees are first shown, the former featuring a significantly different design than in the final game and the latter appearing identical to the final save for a slightly taller trunk.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Text boxes have been slightly redesigned, with the speech bubble replaced with a rectangular label and the color changed from blue to the light beige used in the final game's dialogue boxes. The label color now matches the final game, although with a gradient effect on it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Wet suits make their first appearance in this trailer, seemingly identical in functionality to the final game. Notably, the dock has a different design and does not have a [[Tortimer Island]] box. [[Kapp'n]] is also not present but may simply not be unlocked yet. The beach also no longer has the slight slope seen in previous media.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Various other things are shown for the first time; including [[Isabelle]], mushrooms, sneaking with nets, and furniture on walls; all appearing similar to the final game.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | The trailer is in Japanese, with dialogue revealing that the player is the mayor. It begins with the player deciding where to place their house and talking to [[Tom Nook]], who looks the same as he does in the final game. Later dialogue with [[Isabelle]], then called Hisho (Japanese for secretary) rather than her final Japanese name of Shizue, shows a player deciding where to build [[The Roost]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A number of additional features are shown, seemingly functionally identical to the final game. This includes the ability to sit on tree trunks, custom furniture (in the form of a player character placing down a [[Cabin Series#Animal Crossing: New Leaf|Cabin Couch]] customized with the [[Suit Shirts#Animal Crossing: New Leaf|Heart Tee]]), and multiplayer.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It also appears that tulips were redesigned between E3 and this trailer, as they much more closely resemble the final game.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | After the conference, Nintendo posted a Developer Roundtable to the Nintendo Channel.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-HIlN9bnj0</ref> In it, {{NL|nolink}}'s lead developers displayed concept art and mentioned a few features that had not been shown in video yet. These included [[Main Street]], the existence of a [[Re-Tail|"furniture shop"]], the ability to customize the house exterior, and the [[Happy Home Showcase]].

| |
| − | The blue argyle tank is a fully functional item that has existed since the initial version of {{NL|short|nolink}} and is unobtainable in-game. The item is a unisex tank top that has the basic style and the blue and gray colors. It can also be sold to [[Re-Tail]] for {{Currency|Bells|1100}} or [[Timmy and Tommy's store]] for {{Currency|Bells|880}}. The item belongs in the same source group as distributed items in {{NL|short|nolink}}, suggesting it was planned to be distributed.

| |
| − | Beginning in the {{NLWa|short}} update, there is an unused menu, internally named <code>census</code>, that tracks various statistics about the player and their town. The menu can be enabled by setting a single flag in the save file; when enabled, it appears between the [[town initiative]] and [[Town Pass Card]] menus. While the tracked statistics are shown, the labels for what the statistics represent are missing.

| |
| − | Although not in {{NL|nolink}}'s files, there appears to be a remnant of a planned swimming pool [[public works project]] in {{HHD}}. Although available in-game as a standard furniture item, the corresponding file is titled <code>fobj_pool.bch</code>. All other furniture with the <code>fobj</code> prefix were originally public works projects in {{NL|nolink}}, while standard furniture instead uses the <code>int</code> (interior) prefix.

It looks nothing like the final cover, but bears a resemblance to that used for "[[Hypno K.K.]]" It appears to use the model for K.K. Slider from {{CF}}.<ref name="The Cutting Room Floor"/>
