'''Camping Season''' is an event in {{PG}} and {{DnMe+}} where villagers will set up a tent or igloo for a day. In the summer, villagers will be in tents, while in the winter, they will be in igloos. The tent or igloo will be where a signpost usually resides in town. The player can play games with the campers to win unique items, found nowhere else in the game.
 
  
==During summer==
+
===SD card support===
[[File:Inside Camper's Tent.png|thumb|left|200px|Patty camping in a tent]]
+
Photos can now be taken in-game and are saved to an SD card using the Nintendo GameCube SD Card Adapter. From there, the photos can be transferred to a PC and edited or printed.
In the summer, a random villager who is not currently living in the player's town will set up a tent where a signpost would normally be. A villager can only visit the town as a camper once; however, in the event the player has had every villager visit as a camper, the pool of villagers chosen from resets. If talked to, the camper can offer to play a game with the player, which can result in the player receiving unique items. The camper can gift the player either furniture, wallpaper, or carpet, and if gifted furniture, there is a 20% chance of it being a unique camping-themed item that cannot be obtained elsewhere.
+
 
 +
Travel data can also be written to the card, transferred to a PC, and then sent to another player. The receiving player can visit the town, save the modified data, and return it to the original player. This allows players to visit other towns without the need to acquire other memory cards.
 +
 
 +
===Town migration===
 +
A [[player]] can migrate to an existing {{DnMe+|nolink}} town as long as there is a vacant [[House (player)|house]] for them to live in.
 +
 
 +
After the migration, the [[player]] will retain their name, appearance, and birthday. They will also carry over their encyclopedia, custom [[design]]s, and their [[catalog]]. They will lose all savings and inventory items, as well as the contents of their house, and effectively begin again as a new character.
 +
 
 +
{{DnM+|nolink}} save data is unaffected by the migration; the original town and player characters remain available to play as normal.
  
==During winter==
+
===Town Decoration===
[[File:Samson igloo.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Samson camping in an igloo]]
+
Unique [[Town Decoration|structures]] can be built around the town by [[Tom Nook]] and take the place of one of the [[Signpost]]s in town. A random set of three decorations is chosen on town generation. Many types of structures that can be built could only be unlocked from [[Redd]] via passwords on the game's official website. The service to generate passwords is now discontinued, however. [https://github.com/Cuyler36/Object-Delivery-Service-Tool/releases/latest Object Delivery Service Tool] is a tool that replaces the functionality of the original service and can be used to generate passwords indefinitely.
[[File:DUMMY PG Icon.png|thumb|right|150px|The beta "DUMMY" item]]
 
In the winter, one of the villagers from the player's town, will set up an igloo where a signpost would normally be. If talked to, they can offer to play a game with the player, which can result in the player receiving unique items.

Nook will be in his pajamas and allow the player to shop, but he will move much more slowly, sale prices are inflated by 40%, he will purchase items for 20% less, and the catalog is unavailable. If the store has been upgraded to [[Nookington's]],  [[Timmy and Tommy]] will also appear in their pajamas after-hours.

*[[Animal Island]] is no longer accessed by connecting a [[Game Boy Advance]] to the [[Nintendo GameCube]].

 +
*It's no longer possible to request errands from [[villager]]s. They can only be received randomly from general conversation, as is the case in all subsequent games.
 +
**Pursuant to this, when working for [[Tom Nook]] he no longer instructs the player to perform errands for the town's [[villagers]] in between the jobs he assigns.
 +
*The player can now eavesdrop on conversations held between two different villagers.

*New villager dialog is included that is conditional on the player's accomplishments, e.g.,. the size of their house, whether they own an island, the size of [[Tom Nook]]'s store, etc.
 +
*Villagers can become ill and require to be given [[medicine]] to treat their illness. Medicine can also be used to treat the player's [[bee]] stings.
 +
*When delivering gifts as an errand for a villager, the request-giver may ask the player for the recipient's feedback.

 +
*During the [[Fishing Tourney]], [[Chip]] will now give the player a free [[Fishing Rod]] if they do not have one in their inventory.
 +
*Holidays are now identical to those in ''Animal Crossing'', with Japan-exclusive events removed. However, [[Parents|Mom]] will send the player letters about Tanabata (Festival of the Stars) and Mamemaki (Bean Throwing Festival).

Revision as of 02:47, August 20, 2020

Doubutsu no Mori e+[nb 1] is an expanded version of Animal Crossing released on the Nintendo GameCube exclusively in Japan on June 27, 2003. In addition to all content from Animal Crossing, the game features new villagers, items, gameplay elements, and expanded e-Reader functionality.

Development and release

Nintendo Japan, impressed with the Nintendo of America's localization efforts of Animal Crossing,[citation needed]retranslated the game back into Japanese and released it with additional new content.

Doubutsu no Mori e+ was released in Japan on June 27, 2003, and sold 91,658 copies during its first week of sale. Doubutsu no Mori e+ was not localized in North America or Europe, possibly because the e-Reader saw limited success outside of Japan. Despite this, many features and changes introduced in Doubutsu no Mori e+ have returned in subsequent games. Several fan-translation efforts for the game have been made by the community in recent years, though there is yet to be a complete translation of the game.

New content

e-Reader support and new villagers

File:E-reader.png
The Nintendo e-Reader can be used to move villagers into a town by scanning their e-card.

Doubutsu no Mori e+ expands the previous game's support for the e-Reader with the introduction of 60 new villagers and 18 new islanders. Villagers can be invited to move into town, and islanders to the island, by scanning their e-card. The ETM is no longer present in the town's Post Office as all e-Reader functionality is now accessed from the Wishing Well. As well as villager cards, there are music cards and new minigames that can be played on a Game Boy Advance. The game comes packaged with an e-Reader+ and five cards.

The newly added villagers and islanders are as follows (names in italics denotes characters whose names have not since been localized):

Normal Peppy Snooty Lazy Jock Cranky

Items

The following 21 furniture items have been added, none of which can be reordered from the catalog.

  • Apple Box
  • Scarecrow
  • Joumon Vase
  • Bathtub
  • Basketball Hoop
  • Mummy's Casket
  • Mandarin Box
  • Jumping Boy Sign
  • Fire Hydrant
  • Dogu
  • Pinball Machine
  • Drum Set
  • Wooden Crate
  • Rocking Horse
  • Shower
  • Helm
  • Dart Board
  • Canopy Bed
  • Paw Sign
  • Display Dish
  • Nook's Billboard

SD card support

Photos can now be taken in-game and are saved to an SD card using the Nintendo GameCube SD Card Adapter. From there, the photos can be transferred to a PC and edited or printed.

Travel data can also be written to the card, transferred to a PC, and then sent to another player. The receiving player can visit the town, save the modified data, and return it to the original player. This allows players to visit other towns without the need to acquire other memory cards.

Town migration

A player can migrate to an existing Doubutsu no Mori e+ town as long as there is a vacant house for them to live in.

After the migration, the player will retain their name, appearance, and birthday. They will also carry over their encyclopedia, custom designs, and their catalog. They will lose all savings and inventory items, as well as the contents of their house, and effectively begin again as a new character.

Doubutsu no Mori+ save data is unaffected by the migration; the original town and player characters remain available to play as normal.

Town Decoration

Unique structures can be built around the town by Tom Nook and take the place of one of the Signposts in town. A random set of three decorations is chosen on town generation. Many types of structures that can be built could only be unlocked from Redd via passwords on the game's official website. The service to generate passwords is now discontinued, however. Object Delivery Service Tool is a tool that replaces the functionality of the original service and can be used to generate passwords indefinitely.

Gameplay changes from Animal Crossing

Doubutsu no Mori e+ features many differences from Animal Crossing, largely with the addition of new content and refined gameplay mechanics. Although the game is primarily based on Animal Crossing, it does retain some Japan-exclusive content from previous games. This includes the dial-based typing system, certain furniture, and katakana characters on the Town Tune board. Additionally, Jane retains her original appearance from Doubutsu no Mori and Doubutsu no Mori+.

Interface

  • Doubutsu no Mori e+ uses a total of 72 blocks of data on a Nintendo GameCube Memory Card. 57 blocks are required for Town Data, 5 blocks for saved letters in the Post Office, 5 blocks for saved designs at Able Sisters, 1 block for NES game save data, and 4 blocks for travel data if this feature is used.
  • The player can adjust their fluency with kanji from the options menu.
  • The ink meter when writing letters or posts on the Bulletin Board has been removed.
  • Diaries that are dropped on the ground now appear as envelopes instead of brown paper bags.

Locations

  • Tom Nook can be woken after-hours by hitting the shop doors three times with a shovel. Nook will be in his pajamas and allow the player to shop, but he will move much more slowly, sale prices are inflated by 40%, he will purchase items for 20% less, and the catalog is unavailable. If the store has been upgraded to Nookington's, Timmy and Tommy will also appear in their pajamas after-hours.
  • Tom Nook sells party poppers in the latter half of December in anticipation of New Year's Eve. He also offers a greater variety of items during his sales, such as party poppers, fans, balloons, and pinwheels.
  • The Reset Monitoring Center can be accessed after encountering Mr. Resetti twice. Once a week, a random rock around town will become the entrance to the center and can be broken with a shovel. Mr. Resetti and Don Resetti can be found here.
  • Animal Island is no longer accessed by connecting a Game Boy Advance to the Nintendo GameCube. Instead, each player must now first purchase their private island from Tom Nook (after paying off all house loans) to access it. Players can visit another player's island after the other player has repaid their loan.
    • The island initially does not have an inhabitant. An islander must be introduced by scanning their e-card, which makes them wash ashore. The player can revive them, and they will then move into the smaller bungalow on the island.

Villagers

Paolo speaking to the player, having contracted fleas

  • As with Animal Crossing, the memory card that comes with Doubutsu no Mori e+ contains a grab bag with two NES games and a song from K.K. Slider. In Doubutsu no Mori e+ however, the grab bag arrives in a letter from Mom.
  • The amount of debt that the player owes Tom Nook for each house upgrade has been altered. The final repayment is for the purchase of a private island.
