- Can't get enough of New Horizons? Neither can we, or anyone else. That's why we're back to help you make your island even more stellar with 107 more facts about
Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Find a comfy mum cushion or
tire toy to settle down on, and let's get started. - [Adrian] Sydney, don't forget to mention that there was an announcement yesterday for Animal Crossing, but since it was yesterday, we couldn't put all of
the stuff in this video, so we're just gonna have
to make another video. You already know New Horizons
was a huge hit for Nintendo. But just how huge? In just its first week, New Horizons sold 13.1 million copies. That's more copies than
Wild World and New Leaf sold in their entire life spans. And New Horizons still has
a long life ahead of it. Ever since Leif showed up on Nature Day, he's sold six different types of shrubs, camellia, azalea, hydrangea, hibiscus, tea olive, and holly. Each shrub comes in two colors and has a blooming period of about a month and a half to two months, and their blooms don't overlap. Shrubs are cool and everything, but Leif's real blessing
is the flowers he sells. After over a month, players could finally get flowers that weren't native to their island, and without having to visit someone else! And if you're really strapped for cash, Leif buys weeds for
double their normal price! Yes, you can sell them to him
for 20 bells instead of 10. My loan is as good as paid off! Redd is also back! This time he's re-branded
himself as Jolly Redd, and runs his shop out of a boat. That Treasure Trawler always docks at that weird, secret-feeling rocky beach that every island has on its north coast. Redd has been in every
single Animal Crossing game, but to get him to appear in New Horizons, you have to donate at least
60 items to your museum. I mean, that includes everything, fossils, fish, and bugs combined, so you were probably well past this point by the time Redd was introduced. When Redd first shows up, Isabelle will alert
you that a shady figure is roaming around your island. If you buy a painting from him, the first painting is
guaranteed to be genuine, and you can donate it to the
new art gallery in the museum. But don't get used to it. Like always, Redd is trying to pawn off fake art as the genuine article. Once he sets up his Treasure Trawler, there is literally no
chance that all four pieces he's selling are real. There's a 50% chance that he's selling three fakes and one genuine work, but that number shifts
every time he visits. There's even a 10% chance he's selling one fake and three reals, or four fakes! Even if you spot the real deal every time, it's going to take a while
to fill your art wing, statistically speaking. There's only a 20% chance that Redd will be selling a real
painting or sculpture that you don't already have. Yeah, don't think New
Horizons wouldn't give you the same real painting twice. It would, and it does. Remember, you can only buy
one piece of art per visit, and of course, Redd will quickly
state there's no refunds. Blathers won't accept
fake art into the museum, and Timmy and Tommy won't
even buy them from you! At least you can decorate
your house with them, right? Just don't invite any art critics over. Every painting and statue in New Horizons is based on real-life artwork. You can tell the art is fake
because it makes changes to the piece that it's based on. Some are pretty obvious, but others can be pretty hard to spot. That art history degree
is finally paying off! Look at me now, mom and dad! Some paintings even have
more than one fake version. I know, I know, I'm also sweating bullets every time I visit Redd. But just remember that
there are a few artworks, like Van Gogh's Sunflowers,
that are always genuine. Buying fake art is bad enough, but some of the fake art is haunted. Yeah, haunted! If you interact with them at night, they freaking move, or grin, or blink, or seep through the canvas. If you don't want to risk
buying haunted artwork, you can still buy two pieces of furniture on the Treasure Trawler. While they're a bit overpriced, Redd's furniture will be in rare colors that usually aren't found on your island. There is one other way to
get artwork in New Horizons, but it's even less reliable than Redd. Very occasionally, one of your villagers may gift you some art in the mail. But that doesn't
necessarily mean it's real. In fact, the current hypothesis is that a Smug villager
will only give you fake art. If it's a clear night on your island, there's a chance that
Celeste may come and visit! And she'll definitely show up
if there's a meteor shower. Talk to her to get one of her exclusive, coveted DIY recipes, which come from one of three sets, wand recipes, astrological
recipes like the Taurus tub, and space recipes like the flying saucer. The recipe you receive
will be randomly selected. You can craft the astrological
recipes, AKA the Zodiac Set, with special Zodiac star fragments that only fall during that
Zodiac sign's calendar dates. And each fragment has their
own special furniture! For example, the Taurus
fragments only fall between April 20 and May 20, and you can use them to
craft the Taurus bathtub. I'm looking forward to that Scorpio lamp! Also, quick quality of life tip. You can mash the A button to make that crafting
animation much faster. It's a godsend when you have to craft, like, 10 fish bait in one go. Celeste won't appear on
a dark, stormy night, but there's a chance
that Wisp will show up any time the sun goes down. He might even be there
the same night as Celeste! When you talk to Wisp, you'll scare him so
bad that his ghost bits will scatter randomly around the island. You might have to run a
few laps to find them all. Once you've returned all five pieces of Wisp's spirit to him, he'll offer to give you something new or something expensive. Pro tip, always get something new. Wisp even admits he's not all that good at good at gauging an item's value. Like, one player chose something expensive and then got the game's default wallpaper. So, just save yourself the trouble. If you're a sadist, you can collect all of Wisp's pieces, run back to him, and then refuse to cough them up. But don't push him. If you taunt Wisp enough,
he'll warn you one last time, and then he'll just repeat himself until you give him the pieces. I guess being stuck in a
purgatory of looping dialogue is its own punishment. Because CJ and Flick refer to each other as partner, many players have hoped that means more than just business partners. The jury's still out on that one, but the New Horizons
strategy guide does mention that CJ and Flick are roommates. It doesn't take a genius to
figure out what's going on. Despite their beautiful bond, it seems like Flick's
bias for bugs over fish stands out in his statues. For instance, his atlas moth statue is a majestic and giant grand atlas moth. It's bigger than the actual bug! On the other hand, his statue for the-- - [Electronic Voice] Coelacanth. - [Sydney] A fish that's
bigger than your villager, is just a pitifully tiny statue. Whether you're in the Northern
or Southern Hemisphere, CJ has already hosted a
fishing tourney by now. The tourney happens once every season, which means once every three months, on the second Saturday of the month. You can participate in the fishing tourney as many times as you want, and you'll earn points depending
on how many fish you catch. You can trade 10 points for a variety of fish-themed prizes, like a fishing cooler,
a fishing rod stand, and even a fish wand! Once you've gotten every item once, you'll start getting the
same prizes over again, so keep fishing if you
want enough drying racks for your fish market! C.J. keeps track of how
many points you've earned, and will give a trophy if
you reach certain thresholds. 100 points will earn you
a bronze fishing trophy, 200 gets silver, and 300 points nets you the golden trophy! If you didn't manage to
win every trophy last time, then don't sweat it! Your point total will carry
over into the next tournament, so you'll eventually earn that gold with enough hard work and fishing rods. Flick's Bug-Off only kicks
off during the summer, and then happens on the
fourth Saturday of the month for four consecutive months. If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, then that means the Bug-Off is June 27th, but those of you in
the Southern Hemisphere have to wait until November. The Fishing Tourney and Bug-Off work essentially the same way. You'll pay 500 bells to catch as many bugs or fish as you can, which earns you points
that you can then exchange for exclusive prizes. And yes, you can still sell your catches to CJ or Flick for the usual 150% price. Everybody knows that you can only catch-- - [Electronic Voice] Coelacanth. - [Sydney] In the rain, but the highly-priced fish
has another requirement, too. Even if it's raining, it
won't spawn in the rain unless you've made at least 100 catches. Now that summer's here, in the Northern Hemisphere at least, you can catch sharks to
make some serious bells. Most sharks are only available between 4:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m., but you'll have a better
chance of catching them on a Mystery Island! You may even land on an
island that only has fins! Yes, you can always tell a fish is a shark by the fin sticking out of the water. But don't get your hopes up too much. Instead of a great white, it could be a suckerfish that only sells for a measly 2,500 bells. There's plenty of new river fish, too! You never know when that
shadow could be an arowana. That'll earn you a nice 10K. And there's no mistaking the colossal shadow of the arapaima. This river monster is
also worth a cool 10K. New fish also means new bugs! Keep an eye on your coconut
trees for goliath beetles. You can sell them for a solid 8000. Just don't do what I did and release them to make room for rainbow stags. Those rainbows were worth 10K in New Leaf, but now they're only worth 6K. Do your research. I mean, that's why, that's
why you're here, right? I mentioned Fin Island before, but there's also a new Mystery Island that's a haven for catching
those tree-dwelling bugs. It's basically Bamboo Island, but with regular trees instead of bamboo. There's also a version that has cliffs, but both are perfect for stocking up on those valuable goliath
beetles and rainbow stags. Also, every Mystery
Island with normal trees has a piece of furniture
waiting to be shaken out. So, make sure you shake every tree to get it before you head back home, and have your net equipped. You never know if you shake
a bunch of wasps loose. Thankfully, the wasps in New Horizons are much more forgiving
than the old angry bees of past Animal Crossings. No joke, I once shook a wasp's nest loose, ran a few steps, switched to my bug net, and still managed to catch
them before they stung me. Summertime also brings a
slew of new DIY recipes. The big ingredient this summer
is, fittingly, summer shells. You'll find them along the
beach with other shells, but you can tell them apart
by their distinct blue hue. You can use them to make
stuff like a shell wreath, a shellfish pochette and
an underwater flooring. Mabel and Sable's sister Label will occasionally visit your island, too. Since New Leaf, she's started a career
as a fashion designer with her own label, Labelle. Label will ask you to build an outfit around a particular theme, and she'll even give
you a piece of clothing to get you started. The more correctly-themed items you wear, the better your reward! Just wearing the item she gives you will get you a single Able Sisters coupon. Two will get you two coupons, and three will get you the coupons and a Labelle item that
she'll send in the mail. Every player has different colors, but Label give you the
same color every time. For example, I have a purple Labelle coat and purple Labelle sneakers. But don't worry! The more themed items you
build into your outfit, the more your friendship
with Label will increase. Once that happens, the Labelle items she gives
you will start popping up at the Able Sisters in different colors. Label's great and all, but do yourself a favor
and make friends with Sable by talking to her every day. Even if you don't care about
her family's life story, you heartless monster, you'll still get access
to some exclusive patterns that Sable designed herself! May kicked off, appropriately
enough, with May Day. You got a special May Day ticket that you could use to
go on the one-time-only May Day Island tour. The whole island was
organized like a maze, and you had to use the limited
resources on the island to make it to the end. At the end of the maze,
you got to meet Rover, a long-time veteran of the
Animal Crossing series! He even gave you a reward, his briefcase! If you perfectly navigated the maze, you could also pick up a
number of bell vouchers for some easy cash. International Museum Day ran
from May 18th to the 31st. The bug, fossil, and fish
exhibits in the museum each hosted a Stamp Rally, and your reward for finding all
three stamps in each exhibit was the corresponding plaque. You could do the Stamp Rally every day, if you wanted to for whatever reason. The reward was the same every day, but I'm not gonna judge
if you really wanted, like, 10 golden bug plaques. I mean, you do you. Immediately after Museum Day was over, New Horizons entered its longest-running seasonal event to date, Wedding Season. It runs for the entire month of June and takes place in
Photopia on Harv's Island. The seasonal characters for Wedding Season are Reese and Cyrus, who debuted in New Leaf as the co-owners of the Re-Tail store. Cyrus is still making furniture, but now they're celebrating
their anniversary and need your help
crafting a romantic photo. Reese will rate your photo, and depending on your score, you will receive a certain
amount of heart crystals. You can take those right over to Cyrus in exchange for exclusive
Wedding Day items. There are 26 items in all, including a freaking pipe organ. Reese and Cyrus will give
you a different prompt every time you visit, like the Wedding Ceremony
or the Wedding Reception. If you return every day, you'll get more than just heart crystals. For hitting certain day milestones, you can expect rewards like a photo plate, a DIY recipe for a wedding
fence, and even a wand. Having a wand is great, but you don't need one to
change your outfit on the fly. Just carry around a storage type item, plop it down, and you'll be able to change your wardrobe right on the spot. Nothing beats taking
your fridge to the beach to change into a bright red froggy suit. In addition to all of these NPCs and seasonal characters, you can encounter another
kind of special being in New Horizons, aliens! If you watch your in-game
TV at 3:33 a.m. on Saturday, you'll see static and
a mysterious broadcast that's exactly one minute long. Aliens aside, whenever you turn on a TV, you'll be treated to a
completely functional television channel. It's got a set 24-hour schedule
with all kinds of programs, including a kid's show, a drama, a cartoon, a documentary, a variety show. There's even tons of commercials, including a seasonal commercial! What's more, if you turn on your TV on a weekday at 6:30
p.m. or Saturday at 6:45, you'll be treated to a weather forecast. That doesn't sound like a big deal, but the weather forecast will tell you if there's a meteor shower that night! There's tons of villagers in New Horizons, but they can each be boiled down into one of eight different
personality types. Male villagers can be
Cranky, Lazy, Jock or Smug, while female villagers
can be Normal, Peppy, Snooty or Sisterly, also known as Uchi. Each personality type has a set catalog of DIYs they can give
you if you walk into them working at their workshop. To maximize your options, make sure you have one of
every personality type, and snoop around three times a day, the morning, the afternoon, and night. That way, you'll get three
different DIYs every day, hopefully new ones! Getting the reactions is a bit more of a grind than you'd think. Beyond the first four reactions, all other reactions can
only be taught by one of the eight villager personality types. For each personality type, there's a reaction that
can only be learned once you've attained a
high level of friendship with that type of villager. There's a lot to that
friendship metric, too. All the villagers start at level one, and each new level comes
with a new benchmark action. For instance, at level four, you can change a villager's catchphrase. At level five, they can gift
you a photo of themselves. At the highest level, level six, they can trade furniture with you. You can increase your
friendship with villagers by talking to them every day, agreeing to sell them an item, catching their fleas,
and giving them gifts. Different gifts result in
different amounts of points, with furniture being worth the most. Wrapping a gift and/or giving something worth over 10,000 bells results in an additional point, too. Another pro tip. Giving a villager clothing
always gets you one point, but if you want the full two points, make sure to give them
something they'd really like. For example, give the
Jocks like your boy Flip a soccer uniform. There are ways to lower
your friendship level, so beware! If you gift a villager garbage, push them, or hit them with your net, they'll become upset and your score will actively
dip a couple points. We've all got that one villager we want to move out. There's a common theory
that ignoring a villager is the best way to make them move, but that's actually not the case. You get a point for talking
to your villager every day, but points don't get subtracted
for not talking to them. Basically, avoiding
them is a neutral move. While a villager with
a low friendship score is a little more likely to move out, the hard truth is that it's pretty random. High friendship only makes
it slightly less likely that a villager will ask to leave. My best, best boy Flip has
asked to move out twice. Both times, the answer was no. There's a few other factors at play. A villager can't move if
they've had their birthday within seven days, if their house is being moved, if they were the last villager
to pop the moving question, or if they were the last one to move in. And no, talking to Isabelle
has literally zero effect on whether your villager will move out. If you use an Amiibo card
to invite a villager, you'll be able to manually
choose who they replace. However, if you invite
someone from your campsite, the villager the camper
replaces is selected randomly. If you don't like the pick, all you can do is immediately
shut down the game before it saves and try
again and again and again. Between Amiibo, Mystery
Islands, and campsites, villager turnover has hit a
new level in New Horizons. A whole vibrant community has popped up that's centered around trading villagers to get exactly who they want. Everyone's trying to trade
bells and Nook Miles tickets to fill their island with dreamies, AKA, their personal dream villagers. In every Animal Crossing game, certain villagers are
more popular than others, but no one was ready
for this Raymond fever. He debuted in New Horizons as Animal Crossing's first Smug cat, and he has a black market all on his own. Really, look it up. He is worth millions of bells and/or hundreds of Nook Miles tickets. None of the villagers
exclusive to New Horizons have Amiibos yet, and that's part of why Raymond
is in such high demand. I mean, there's also his eyes, and his willingness to wear a maid outfit. In fact, one popular black market site says half of all total
inquiries are just for Raymond! However, one noble hacker decided this whole Raymond
craze was getting a little dark, so he offered to give
Raymond out for free. He estimates he gave
out about 30 Raymonds. And, yes, it's too late now. There are definitely more villagers who are wildly popular, though. Expect to shell out some serious bells if you're looking for
Marshall, Audie, Ankah, Bob, Merengue, Coco, Stitches, Beau, and Fauna, for example. Due to all this demand, Amiibo and Amiibo cards are now fetching a ridiculous premium price. Some villagers' Amiibo cards are going for 100 real-life dollars! There's also an underground
scene of bootleg Amiibo cards. Other than eBay, a few websites have popped
up to help the community exchange villagers,
items, and DIY recipes, usually using bells and/or
Nook Miles as tender. The most known and reliable
are nook.market and Nookazon. Nookazon in particular
has 270,000 users per day! With that many people online, you don't know who's willing
to do what just to get Raymond. That's why you should protect
yourself with Express VPN. Express VPN encrypts your data and reroutes your internet connection through a secure server, so you can safely browse any and all Animal Crossing markets. It even masks your IP address, so you don't have to worry about
the more rabid Raymond fans DDos-ing you to get a competitive edge. Even Dodo Codes are being
linked back to your IP address, so make sure your connection is protected. I've never heard of an
Animal Crossing DDos, but you don't wanna be the first. And since Express VPN
hides your IP address, you can use it to access
region-locked content. For example, I always put
Netflix on in the background when I play Animal Crossing. Trouble is, I can't watch
Rick and Morty on Netflix since I live in the States. Well, when I use Express VPN,
I just say I'm in the UK, and boom, I can fish for
sharks, hunt for scorpions, and watch Rick and Morty
until I fall asleep. - [Adrian] Also, don't forget, ExpressVPN works on your router, too, so your Switch is protected! - [Sydney] Wanna try it yourself? Find out how you can get three months free by clicking the link in
the description box below, expressVPN.com/theleaderboard. Villagers aren't the only thing changing hands in New Horizons. There's also a booming Stalk Market. Thanks to dedicated websites like turnip.exchange and Twitter, you can always find out when someone else has a high turnip price. Like, players started
to expect a ridiculous 500% return on their turnip
investment every week. That's unheard of in the
older Animal Crossing games! Between turnips, time-traveling, and making your own tarantula island, the economy of New Horizons
became noticeably inflated. Nintendo tried to balance
things out by lowering the interest rate on a player's
in-game savings account, but it was definitely too late by then. Farming tarantulas or scorpions now got even harder with
the Nature Day update. Sure, water bugs were bad enough, but the spawn rates of
scorpions and tarantulas are now less than half
of what they used to be. Even other moneymaking bugs like atlas moths or emperor butterflies now appear less often. I'm sure you know that NPCs or villagers will respond to you when
you use your Reactions. But Orville has a completely
unique possibility. If you use the Apologetic
reaction near Orville, he may start crying. That's because, quote, "He never wants a patron of
Dodo Airlines to feel unhappy." Too bad there's not a hug reaction. I'm still collecting those 30 rusted parts to make that awesome robot hero. Only one rusted part only
appears in your recycling bin after Gulliver shows up on your island. Gulliver rarely visits, but there is a way to
get more rusted parts. If you're willing to
sacrifice your souvenir, keep Gulliver's communicator
parts in your pocket overnight. They'll turn into rusted
parts the next day! Aside from souvenirs and rusted parts, helping Gulliver eventually pays off. After you give him a hand 30 times, Gulliver will send you one
of the most sought-after items in the game, the DIY recipe for a golden shovel! For the record, golden tools
are different in New Horizons. They do eventually break, it just takes way longer
compared to the normal tools. Getting the golden axe is a lot easier. All you need to do is break 100 axes. And that can be any kind
of axe, even flimsy axes! So, if you're dying for the golden axe, just craft a bunch of flimsy axes and start chewing through some trees. Once you've shot down 300 balloons, a golden balloon will eventually float by. Shoot it down, and your gift from the sky will be the DIY recipe
for the golden slingshot! Luckily, it's easy to track how many balloons you've shot down. It's also a milestone in the "It's Raining
Treasure!" Nook Miles goal. But what if you miss the golden balloon? Does that mean you have to
shoot down another 300 balloons, or maybe you'll never
get the golden slingshot? Okay, don't, don't panic. The golden balloon will show up again. It just may take a few days, but it will eventually come back. The recipes for the golden fishing rod and golden net are simple to earn, but unfortunately, much harder. You'll have to complete your Critterpedia for fish and bugs, respectively. And then there's the golden watering can. One beautiful day, you'll ask Isabelle about
your island's rating. She'll let you know you've
finally achieved five stars and she'll give you the DIY recipe for the golden watering can as a token of your achievement. With the golden watering can, you'll be able to water
nine flowers at once! Just stand on one, have two on your sides, and six in front of you. Boom, that's nine flowers in one go. It sure is an upgrade from that pitiful, flimsy watering can. The golden watering can is awesome, but it's not your only reward for getting a five-star island. A lily of the valley, also known as a Jacob's
ladder in previous games, will bloom. The more days in a row that you can maintain a five-star rating, the more likely that another will pop up. So, how do you get that five-star island? Well, no one knows for sure. Data miners have guessed that you have to unlock some basics. Terraforming, the Able Sisters, and the upgraded Nook's Cranny. Many suspect that you also
need to have 10 villagers, but I got a five-star
island with only nine, so take that with a grain of salt. One thing's for sure. You need to have a variety of furniture spaced neatly all around your island. Isabelle tells you this straight-up. Right now, dataminers estimate you need roughly 50-ish DIY-made items, 20-ish Nook Miles items, and 40-ish items you
can get from the store. Oh, and at least 50 units of fencing. Of course, you won't get
that five-star island without some greenery! We're talking around 250 blooming flowers, and about 110 trees. But beware, your island
score can actually go down if you have too many trees, namely 220. Isabelle will let you know if
you need to do some logging. Any flower counts towards
your island rating, but you can get some cool
colors from flower breeding. Some colors are pretty intuitive. For example, red and white
tulips make pink tulips. Same goes for roses, cosmos,
lilies, hyacinths and mums. Thing is, not every flower
follows that same kind of logic. To get pink windflowers, you need to breed orange and
red windflowers together. Like, why? I spent the first month on
my island scratching my head, wondering why my red and white windflowers apparently just didn't want to breed. Then I looked it up. And you can't even get pink pansies! Not every flower comes in every color. Only four flower breeds
will produce black flowers, cosmos, lilies, tulips and roses. To get black flowers, you just have to put a bunch
of red flowers together. It's simple enough, and it'll make your haunted cemetery feel that much creepier. Out of all of those black flowers, black roses are especially valuable. If you put them together and water them with the
golden watering can, there's a chance that you'll
breed some golden roses! You can sell them for 1000 bells apiece! Blue roses sell for just as much, but getting them is more complicated. The key is to make hybrid red roses, which you can get
through cross-pollinating purple and orange roses. The red roses that result from
those purple and orange roses are hybrid red roses, and cross-pollinating them
gives you a small chance of spawning a blue rose. I'm not gonna go down the
hybrid breeding rabbit hole. Just know that every flower
breed has its own set of rules. Like, you need two hybrid red
pansies to get purple pansies. And you need two hybrid
purple mums to get green mums. And you get the hybrid purples by breeding two hybrid yellows! Basically, Nintendo wants to torture us. And here's the best part. Sometimes, flowers might not breed at all! But, you can increase your chances by inviting friends to your island. If you water flowers yourself, there's only a 5% chance
a new flower will pop up. But that number goes up with every friend who waters a flower, all the way up to 80% for five friends. If you play solo, don't sweat it. You can still improve your odds by one, just planting a ton
of different flowers, and two, planting them in
a checkerboard pattern. Gotta leave a spot or those
new flowers to grow in, you know? Thankfully, if you just want
more of the same flower, you can just water a single flower, and it will eventually
create a clone of itself. There are no limits to how many flowers can spawn a day in New
Horizons, so go nuts! Don't think that you'll be able to breed Lilies of the Valley, though. Not like they have a lot of use anyway. They don't come in different colors, you can't wear them, and they only sell for 222 bells. Nowhere close to the 1K that blue and gold roses will fetch you. All of those community watering bonuses emphasize the important of connection with your fellow players. When one player's island
had high turnip prices, she tweeted a Dodo Code. Standard practice, right? Well, she got an unexpected guest, Mr. Frodo himself, Elijah Wood. And yeah, he had lovely manners. Elwood isn't the only
famous New Horizons fan. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez opened her Twitter DMs for four minutes to allow people to slip
Dodo Codes into her inbox. The Congresswoman then went
around making House calls and visiting islands. One constituent even taught
her about the Switch app! The next day, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez visited an epidemiologist's
graduation ceremony and gave her first-ever
commencement speech, all in Animal Crossing. Screenwriter Gary Whitta
took things a step further. He created and streamed
a full, in-game talk show called Animal Talking, complete with a drum set-playing sidekick and celebrity guests like T-Pain, Danny Trejo, and of course, Elijah Wood. In case you were wondering, T-Pain got into Animal Crossing because his daughter likes it, and he tries to keep up
with what she's into. He recently gave a reporter a tour of his island and his house, which includes a race car bed, naturally, a sweet arcade, and a
studio in his basement that he's nicknamed The Lab after his real-life basement studio. While we wait for the fall, our friends in the Southern Hemisphere are giving us a taste of what's to come. Look forward to different
kinds of mushrooms popping up on your island, as well as maple leaves! The New Horizons Strategy
Guide seems to hint at the eventual return of
the much-missed gyroids! With the exception of Lloid, gyroids have been totally missing. The guide suggests that, like
in past Animal Crossing games, you'll be able to dig
them up after it rains. What else can we look forward to? Well, according to one dataminer who has already predicted
updates with shocking accuracy, we can look forward to Brewster's
return with a museum cafe and another upgrade to Nook's Cranny, and diving, and vegetables. In the meantime, New Horizons is still a creative haven, especially when it comes to island layout. One player recreated the map from The Legend of Zelda:
A Link to the Past. That's impressive, but only slightly less impressive than turning your island
into Danny DeVito's face. I can't wait to see Danny
DeVito's face in the fall, but what are some changes that
you are looking forward to in Animal Crossing: New Horizons? Let me know in the comments, and be sure to subscribe
to The Leaderboard. From Indie to Triple-A, we
love the games you play. I'm your host, Sydney, and
thank you for watching. (upbeat music)
