For the 'Gyroid' face 'glitch' it is entirely intentional! There are variants for each face type for both genders, and separate variants for each face type with a bee sting. It was likely done to add a 'creepy' punishment for trying to be sneaky about gaming the system. The code actually executes when you board the train. It deletes everything in your inventory and changes to the 'gyroid' face in your own town's player data. If you properly travel back using the train station, this data is overwritten and thus won't be seen.
@Corina W The textures are all the same. The only noticeable difference is having a bee sting. There are unique textures for each one are due to how the game saves the original face. Also for the girl player's hair color as it's embedded in the face palette!
I'm pretty sure there's also dialogue that specifically states that you were at a different town but didn't come back, and that it tells you that your stuff is gone. It's been a VERY long time since I decided to do the glitch but kid me thought it was funny and did it all of the time, so I don't think i'm pulling it out of my ass
I found a weird one in New Leaf. I've not seen many people talking about it, but if you happen to plant a flower at the same time as a villager in an area with only one space available, BOTH flowers will spawn in the same space, even if they're completely different colors. I'm not sure if it works with different species, but it's likely. The overworld sprite looks like one flower, but walking through the flower makes it flash to the other flower that's there. Picking it will only produce one of the two flowers. I recorded and uploaded a crappy video of the time it happened to me to my channel if you want to see what it looks like.
I had the same thing happen to me, but there wasn't only one space left. We just wanted to plant something in the same spot. Also, I planted mine first, but the animation wasn't done when Maple planted hers. Mine was a red pansy, hers was a yellow tulip.
Its not permanent but it can still be done, just happened to me today. My sister visited my island to ask a villager moving out to go to her island then returned to her island and time traveled to the next day while I did not. For the rest of the day in game, the villager house remained with the message "I've moved out".
The Gyroid face wasn't a glitch, but it sure as heck scared me as a kid! My brother and I used the town visiting feature all the time, and he discovered the gyroid face. He then decided to prank me and tell me something special would happen if I reset while visiting another player's town, although he was nice enough to tell me to leave all my stuff in my town so I wouldn't lose it. I'm pretty sure I almost started crying because I thought my villager's face was stuck like that forever.
it isn't intentional. Nintendo wouldn't do that in animal crossing. Why would nintendo delete your inventory, and terrify you. sure, resetti will scare you, but he admits to joking afterwards. with this the game doesn't acknowledge it, and again, why would nintendo do that? it is completely un-intentional. it's placeholders for when you're in the train. Nintendo didn't realise you could force that state into the real game
11:30 The video of the villager running away from the train had me dying 😂 Since the train obviously wasn’t programmed to stop, it looks like Porter is mercilessly trying to kill them
6:18 I actually had a similar glitch happen to me in wild world. If you play during the summer and you get bit by a mosquito then your character is forced to scratch their head while the text box pops up, but unfortunately one day mine glitched and the text box never popped up and my character was stuck in an endless loop of scratching their head. I had to restart my game, losing my progress. I remember being so annoyed I actually did film it on my phone. Another glitch I have come across in wild world is that some of the earlier cartridges of the game have a glitch where lazy villagers cannot give you their photo, no matter how high your friendship, because for some reason they think they already gave it to you. I am pretty sure I have this glitch on mine since I have never gotten a single photo from any of the lazy personality types yet I have photos from every other personality type :’)
I can tell how annoying that would be, I never had wild world bc my mom never got me it, but yeah I won't get it now because I lost my ds but I play acnh now so yup lost all my data once somehow I saved while doing smth (idk how it allowed me to :]) but yea when I came back I had nothing saved and I had just finished a build that took forever :`)
The one with the house saying they already moved is kinda scary because they just left their house there and are just like I moved you can’t do anything
i had an odd experience in new horizons that i can only assume was a glitch that i've found no mention of anywhere online where i entered a villagers house only to find they were not home and the music was turned off. im assuming i must have entered the house the exact same time the game decided the villager was leaving? only ever happened to me once another fun glitch i had with wild world (which im pretty sure was an emulation issue but i still want to mention it bc i found it pretty interesting) was that the town bell would ring like every 5 minutes rather than every hour
I had what turned out to be a fake copy of Wild World that would chime the town bell frequently and would randomly announce events like the Bug-off or the Acorn Festival. In the middle of February, at midnight. Used to annoy the hell out of me.
@@Azira_Amane i’m guessing you got rid of that fake copy. If you still have it though, that would be interesting. But, i doubt you’d even touch it anyways. It can stay turned off.
Pretty neat video! I'd err against classifying the Gamecube AC's gyroid face as a glitch though, because it was deliberately programmed in by Nintendo and is included in their patent for online play at the time, U.S. Patent No. 10,363,481. The fact that Resetti doesn't appear shouldn't swing that the other way- Resetti simply doesn't appear if you reset during online play.
i was about to say this! resetti wouldnt yell at you during online play because you can unintentionally lose connectionso it wouldnt be fair to be berated lol

I found a glitch in New Horizons where if you talk to a villager as they lay down, they will sit up to talk to you and then repeatedly lay down and sit up in between text boxes
In New Leaf, the throwing beans item could be used to clip out of bounds also. You could get another player to push you as you spammed the animation, and it was really quick. I have a lot of funny screenshots, but the most interesting thing we found was when clipping past the trashcan that blocks the Fortune Teller Shop on main street. When clipping past the trashcan at night, the door would say that the store was closed. During the day however, the UI would disappear like an animation was about to play, but then stop itself. And yes, I had to save and quit to get back out from behind the trash can.
Nice shoutout for Jeff's channel! I'm a friend of his and he's an amazing dude 👍 Not only has he been doing Animal Crossing content for more than 10 years but he's overall a really cool and funny guy to hangout with 😊
you know that clip that he shared of glitching animals to that river, i actually linked him the trick to do that glitch! I am also a fellow friend of Jeff :) - Yann
I remember the whole star bit saga in New Horizons when the game first came out. People managed to hack in trees that would grow the stars, and sell them to other people.
I actually had a glitch happen to me recently when I was playing ACNH with my friend. I was on their island and at one point we both tried to get into the museum, and I guess the game got confused?? They got in and their game froze, showing them a never-ending loading screen, while I was stuck outside and unable to enter the museum at all. Nothing was happening so unfortunately we had to turn our switches on an off and cut the connection to go back to normal, but yeah. Really weird stuff.
Not sure if this counts, but a while ago Wolfgang moved to my island, claiming to have come from my sister's island. I sent my sister a message, teasing her about Wolfgang preferring my island...Only to be told Wolfgang wad still on her island as well as a picture of proof. We like to joke he's living a double life :P
An unidentified object has crashed in our town! An unidentified object has crashed in our town! An unidentified object has crashed in our town! An unidentified object has crashed in our town! An unidentified obj-
In city folk’s (or in my case, let’s go to the city) Nookington’s glitch, the player isn’t huge, rather they are up a height in an out of bounds space. If you do the windmill/lighthouse glitch and save whilst up there, this triggers the scorpion bite animation at the base of the tower and then you wake up outside your house. Also you could clip into darkness in the museum bottom left hand corner in the same vein as the lighthouse glitch online pushing! Great video, lots of glitching memories :)
@@STRIKER9001 There totally are scorpions! Search Jvgsjeff "Animal Crossing: City Folk - Catching My First Scorpion" for proof. Had me questioning my memory there hahah
My all-time favourite New Horizons glitch only occurred very early on, and only ever happened with one villager as far as I’m aware. If you had Claude on your island and he was crafting, he had two DIY workbenches that would clip into each other, and his crafting animation wouldn’t show. He’d still give you a DIY recipe, though. It’s not a very notable glitch, but I think it’s way too funny
I used to have trees on the 4th level. I found it very appropriate and mountainesque. No need for anything else like items up there. I planted some spruce trees and it was very nice. Then one day my mountain had no trees. very sad nintendo
One harmless glitch in new horizons was that if you time travel and one of your villagers was about to move, there was a small chance that the house did not change. Just the outside and it stays like this forever. It happened to me once and I still have this villager on my island. Even after moving the house on a different place, the house did not change
I've gotten the 'music cuts out' glitch in New Horizons as well. In addition to that, when I talked to a villager, their voice started off as one of a different personality for some reason before turning back to normal.
Great video but the gyroid face is not a glitch and it was intended to scare you into saving your game since it's the face of a gyroid, which would be what you had to save at. It's not a glitch, and it's kind of silly how long it's been called one even though the gyroid face perfectly matches your character and the texture doesn't have deformities/oddities that other texture glitches would have when they're being mapped to objects they're not suppose to.
I remember an early glitch from Pocket Camp where the entire floor turned black and a really early one where sometimes the menu screens would just completely mess up the text and a more recent one where Ankha kept appearing in loading screens when she hadn't been properly added to the game yet. Weirdest part is, they tried to patch that out, but it still kept happening afterwards it was weird
There's a patched glitch in Happy Home Paradise where if you dressed the restaurant staff with a custom design and then saved and returned, they would just look naked. Failboat found it in a stream and spent the next two hours losing his mind.
the i moved out glitch is actually a feature, because they take your villager, so obviously you can no longer visit them as they are now with the person who took them. that's why the house resets to an empty plot the next day
In Wild World, I’m pretty sure there was a way to go out of bounds and get on top of the walls on the left and right side. I am unsure how it was done though, but I remember I did it with my friend. All I remember is that we used the slingshots once we were on top of the wall because every time you used the slingshot, it would make the camera go to your location. I think somehow our characters froze, but we could continue to type.
1:00 imagine u were a kid and ur power went out when visiting ur friends town and when the power went back, you booted up the game to see ur inventory gone and also that face
i remember the gyroid face one when you dont save. that one freaked me tf out when i was a kid, i didnt know what or why that happened. lotta ppl dont know how much harsher the first animal crossing was lol, but i feel like that "harshness" is whats missing frm the current ac games, it made the game a little bit more interesting imo
The "i've moved out" glitch kinda creepy. Idk why but the fact that you just got an empty villager house just kinda scared me. But honestly it would be a good like addition to the game
5:18 I think it was just the cartridge jostling around too much, but one time while playing acnl, I was just standing by my river and suddenly I couldn't move and all the music cut, but all the river sounds where still there as my character stood frozen, starting at the screen. It was super creepy at the time, freaked me out a bunch. Again, it's not a glitch, I don't think, but it's crazy that a similar thing happened to other people on a different animal crossing game.
couple of other Wild World ones I experienced If you had a song playing in one room, then went to another room and removed that song, it will still be playing in the other room. you can't change it or turn it off... even taking the music player away doesn't stop it the other was more of a softlock, but one time at around 2am I had a villager ask to come to my house. When I was setting up the time for him to show up, he said 2:30 was too early and 2:31 was too late. There was no exit option. I literally softlocked myself and had no choice but to reset and I lost a lot of progress...
In the New Horizons segment of the video the first two glitches discussed are still in the game (glitching into objects and getting on the fourth tier). The only difference is that you can no longer place items on the fourth tier. This was not discussed in the video, but you can glitch trees to sit on the edges of cliffs but I don't know if they can still sit on a singular piece of land anymore like was shown in the video.
love the documentation on this video! all of this is very interesting also i don't know if anyone else has said this,but i'm not so sure the online City Folk glitch has a character become giant. it seems like the character is teleported onto a higher part of the indoors map, putting them closer to the camera. probably why they couldn't collide with other players
In 8:21isaw that when the guy recording moved the guy that waw big moved wierdlythen i noticed its just them being glitch up to the ceiling wichis where the camera is near and makes him look big
I remember when I was playing New Horizons at night, and all the music cut out. It was very off-putting; and my Overthinking-Brain kept saying: “It’s Brutus. Brutus cut your music off he’s coming for your data-” And I’m like “It’s not Brutus. It most probably a Glitch. 💀”
In Wild World, if you hit a villager with a net, you might cause them to become angered or sad. This obviously isn't a glitch, but every time you talked to specifically a depressed villager, their voice would get deeper and deeper. ...True nightmare fuel, that was.
Oh man they were so many glitches I did in New Leaf. I loved hanging out on the bridge, in the river… I even learned how to fall completely under the map! I’m sure I have tons of screenshots on my 3ds still from doing this. I’m sad so many of those glitches were eventually patched
I think the only suspicious thing about the "I moved out" glitch is the fact that there's literally programed text that tells you the villager moved out. As far as I know, the villager stays up all hours up until it's time for them to leave, which would be 5 A.M. the next day, and usually that triggers a whole segment with Isabelle's morning speech, so the villager would be gone after that. There's no reason for the "I moved out" text bubble to exist, but it does and I can't help but question why?
The "giant player" glitch is not actually making the charater larger. They are acually much, much closer to the camera, on top of some invisible collision geometry.
The gyroid face legit had me crying and screaming as a kid. My mom had to pretend to call Nintendo and everything. Thankfully it went back to normal after restarting the game. Also dang I wish I knew how to make my island look good xD it looks just...normal, kinda meh. I have all the villagers in a little neighborhood, and all the shops in one corner, but it's so meh compared to what ppl come up with xD
one time i had the dodo in the airport ask if i wanted online or local play, i said local, he just stared at me for like 1 minute and the music turned off, it wasn’t frozen, he was still swaying / breathing, it was kind of scary (acnh)
I’ll have to test to see if it still works but in ACNH I once got a glitch where I was trying to catch a bug and I accidentally hit a villager on the head while catching, and the bug turned into a flea
man i miss the out of bounds glitches in new leaf. welcome amiibo was fun but being able to hang out on the cliffs separating main street from the HHA showcase was even better. still got pictures of that somewhere...
So the moved out glitch, I don't think it's a glitch. They may have already talked to them and it autosaved before you disconnected. I've given villagers away and after the person left without any issues, it said that they already left until the next day.
I remember when Pocket Camp launched, there was a relatively frequent glitch where the animations for villagers would get messed up, and they'd kind of tilt and jiggle around instead of animating properly. It's very hard to explain but it always used to creep me out a little, made them look like haunted dolls.
With new horizons, what about the villager house plot if you view it on the pavement and then don’t place it. Like it’ll let you put trees and flowers on the pavement? I know it’s patches now but it could have been included
I never knew about the duplicate glitch in Wild World. It would have been helpful as a kid. I trying to get in the water by using the kink tut or whatever it's called mask cause I thought I saw somewhere that it works when you fall just right. It's a shame there's no unlock glitch since upgrading the shops requires a visitor buying from your shop. I missed out the only chance I got cause I didn't think about time travel & the shop was closed. There's ways to get the Wii's internet back up using fan services. Even has a way to do it with Homebrew & without it.(You'll need Homebrew if trying it on the WiiU though)
Resetti was actually REMOVED. And the reason for that is because he made little kids cry, because he was screaming at them for not saving properly or something. Thanks for listening.
There is one glitch found in City Folks which I call the Bee Chasing Music Continuous and it's one of the hardest ones to pull off. So in order to do this one you need of course bees chasing you and need another bug near by then you have to catch both at the same time which done right with a lot of luck the bee chasing music will continue until you go inside a building/house or quit the but other thing about this is whatever bug you catch with the bees will be the other bug not the bees. Unfortunately I can't do the glitch again because it's all about luck to do it and wish there was a way to record it too during that time.
I remember once I gave my mom one of my villagers and got the "I've moved out" message after she left through the airport, despite no disconnecting happening, everything was fine but still kinda odd
the moved out thing isn't a glitch in new horizons. Its intended. Remember autosaves, so unfortunately it must have autosaved after they talked to bob.
Players: Find a way to hide the HUD to take better pictures Nintendo: Good idea, lets get rid of the glitch and add it as a feature (New Horizon segment)
In acnh me and my friend were selling a villager and we were in the house when the talked to it and when they left there was a empty house with no villagers just box’s
I used to duplicate rare items like villager pictures and other things in acww. So that my cousin and I had them both. You need to visit them (local multiplayer) and both lay down all items or bells you want to duplicate. Then you need to head back home and while saving you have to turn off your system after the circle did the 6th round. That way you still have your inventory because it didn't save but your friend has everything as well because their game saved normally. But resetti will visit you...
this was 1 hour ago? (it says 1 hour ago for me btw.) this is very cool! I love these types of videos! I usually listen to videos like these whilst I color my drawings :)
In the game cube version of animal crossing the island is always there, get on the water and go straight down from the dock, and if it's raining or snowing your more likely to see the big fish shadow glitch.
I GOT A SHARK ISLAND! I’m not sure if it was a glitch but all the fish were sharks. If I missed, its fine. Because there were like 5 different sharks already on the island. I got a whale shark and a bunch of other sharks
there was a dupe glitch in wild world you could do over multiplayer and my friend and i would do it CONSTANTLY every time we hung out we were like "okay, do you need bells? do you want this item? awesome, let's dupe"
I have only ever played Wild World, so I'm gonna share some of my own experiences!! First of all I NEED to talk about a "softlock" (not sure if it's a true softlock, I'll get to that later) that has now happened to me TWICE in the same town, one of which was only about a week ago. I'm not the only one who has experienced this, as I found at least one message board where someone had the same issue! I feel like it's definitely a glitch, but no one ever talks about it!! It occurred after a villager would ask to come over to my house and I accepted, but then no matter what time I put in, it was either too early or too late. Literally, one minute would be "too early" and then one extra minute would be "too late". And since there's no way to exit out of the interaction once you've agreed, you're just stuck in an endless loop of inserting a time and the villager saying it doesn't work. I don't know why this happens but I have a THEORY: I THINK it happens when a villager asks to come over when it's really late, like after midnight but before 1am. I THINK villagers don't want to visit you after a certain time (I think 1am), BUT they can still ask you if it's before that time. However, villagers always want you to pick a time at least 30 minutes later than the current time (at least to my knowledge). So if it's after 12:30, you're stuck, as there's no way to back out once you've agreed to let them come over. Now, if my theory behind why this happens is correct, then it's POSSIBLE that if you put your device in sleep mode and come back in the morning, then MAYBE you could get out of it without resetting... But I have no idea, and frankly I don't really want to test it out LOL. Okay now for the actual video: 5:15 Wow I have NEVER had that happen before!! Then again, I have often played with either really low volume or no volume, so it's possible that it has occurred and I just didn't notice lol! I do go fishing a lot, though, so I'll keep that in mind and see if it ever happens to me in the future! 7:09 THAT'S HAPPENED TO ME!! In fact, it was just a couple months ago!! I saw a group of fleas in an area, but there were no villagers around. And just like you said in the video, I couldn't catch them... Weird stuff! Glad to know I wasn't just seeing things lol! 😂
I remember there was this glitch/bug I experienced when getting a campsite villager in New Horizons. I'd gotten Audie in the campsite after doing time traveling methods to get her. I was very eager to have her move in where Renee currently was. I confirmed it, saved, but then made the mistake of not waiting until the next day. I was too excited and time traveled forward (or backward, I don't remember) back to my current date and time. I booted up the day and Renee's exterior was still there, but it was Audie and her interior. Thankfully I was able to reach out to someone and moving her off of my island, onto theirs, and back again worked! Audie had her proper exterior and she's still on my island today :D
So I had a Switch Lite for the longest time and my husband recently got a full size Switch for me as a birthday present. Of course, I had to start a new island on there. I swear, I had 5 tarantulas naturally spawn the first night…🤣 Does anyone know if they changed the spawn rate again within the last several months or am I just tarantula-blessed? I remember being so mad when they originally nerfed the spawn rate to cut down on tarantula/scorpion island farming soon after release.
For the beta map glitchy names, they actually are Japanese, but sense the Japanese local is not present in the English version, it is simply gibberish. when getting the hexadecimal for the names, and using the Japanese locale, the name is actually Johnny D. the Japanese equivalent of John Doe. The more you know.
11:25 I don't know if it's documented anywhere, but if you went onto that red train bridge, and net glitched out of bounds upwards into the sea. You could run across that out of bounds sea upwards until you reach an invisible wall in front of a void. If you net glitch into the void you're technically underneath the town, and it was really cool to mess around with. Your footsteps would still appear on the sand above you and other players could see it, and if you blew bubbles or used the watering can players could see and hear that coming out of the ground too. And if someone dug a hole for you and you walk under the space it's in, you'd end up in the hole and have to shake yourself out of it like with a pitfall. And if you ran upwards and upwards all the way to the top of the map again, you'd be under under the map, and it'd just go on forever. A void under the town with never ending layers being under. And there was a really easy way to get out, if you saved and continued the game, once the game was done saving every player out of bounds would have the scorpion bite animation play, and then they'd be teleported to their house or to the town hall if they're visiting the town. I had so much fun messing with this glitch online with my friends as a kid, I miss those days. Unfortunately Welcome Amiibo patched the out of bounds net glitch and many others and most people stopped playing after that.
I actually screamed at my TV when I was younger because of the 'gyroid face' glitch, that combined with the red text when Tom Nook got upset for you not wearing your uniform made my experience of Animal Crossing as a horror game.

@@Cuyler Ohh okay, idk what I was expecting lol 😂 It would’ve been funny if we got some colorful gyroid crew!
I found a weird one in New Leaf. I've not seen many people talking about it, but if you happen to plant a flower at the same time as a villager in an area with only one space available, BOTH flowers will spawn in the same space, even if they're completely different colors. I'm not sure if it works with different species, but it's likely. The overworld sprite looks like one flower, but walking through the flower makes it flash to the other flower that's there. Picking it will only produce one of the two flowers. I recorded and uploaded a crappy video of the time it happened to me to my channel if you want to see what it looks like.

WHAT IT WOULD BE A PLAYER’S NIGHTMARE FOR THEIR RAYMOND TO MOVE OUT IT IS A SUPER RARE VILLAGER TO GET
Same when I played it I had items on the ground and had the money ordnance and sometimes they'd just duplicate
I had the same thing happen to me, but there wasn't only one space left. We just wanted to plant something in the same spot. Also, I planted mine first, but the animation wasn't done when Maple planted hers. Mine was a red pansy, hers was a yellow tulip.
I wish the "I've Moved Out" glitch was still around and permanent, it would be the perfect vibe for my Gothic horror mountain town
@amera ty! It's still heavily work in progress, but I've got it mostly figured out by now!
Its not permanent but it can still be done, just happened to me today. My sister visited my island to ask a villager moving out to go to her island then returned to her island and time traveled to the next day while I did not. For the rest of the day in game, the villager house remained with the message "I've moved out".
Do u have a dream address?
i'm pretty sure it's intentional, it stays one day while they move into their new place, and disappears once they're fully moved in
The "giant player" online glitch doesn't look to me like they're giant at all - just looks like the character got stuck super close to the camera
Yeah, looks like maybe the player is moved to an invisible upper floor
That's what it is
@@testerwulf3357 yeah
I think they just glitched to the top of an invisible ceiling
The "Crime Alert: Wii Abuse" is probably one of the funniest news segment titles involving video games
The Gyroid face wasn't a glitch, but it sure as heck scared me as a kid! My brother and I used the town visiting feature all the time, and he discovered the gyroid face. He then decided to prank me and tell me something special would happen if I reset while visiting another player's town, although he was nice enough to tell me to leave all my stuff in my town so I wouldn't lose it. I'm pretty sure I almost started crying because I thought my villager's face was stuck like that forever.
well at least your character did get their original face back afterwards. I hope.
it isn't intentional. Nintendo wouldn't do that in animal crossing. Why would nintendo delete your inventory, and terrify you. sure, resetti will scare you, but he admits to joking afterwards. with this the game doesn't acknowledge it, and again, why would nintendo do that? it is completely un-intentional. it's placeholders for when you're in the train. Nintendo didn't realise you could force that state into the real game
Aww my siblings would do that too
Not that they did
11:30 The video of the villager running away from the train had me dying 😂 Since the train obviously wasn’t programmed to stop, it looks like Porter is mercilessly trying to kill them

6:18 I actually had a similar glitch happen to me in wild world. If you play during the summer and you get bit by a mosquito then your character is forced to scratch their head while the text box pops up, but unfortunately one day mine glitched and the text box never popped up and my character was stuck in an endless loop of scratching their head. I had to restart my game, losing my progress. I remember being so annoyed I actually did film it on my phone.
Another glitch I have come across in wild world is that some of the earlier cartridges of the game have a glitch where lazy villagers cannot give you their photo, no matter how high your friendship, because for some reason they think they already gave it to you. I am pretty sure I have this glitch on mine since I have never gotten a single photo from any of the lazy personality types yet I have photos from every other personality type :’)
I can tell how annoying that would be, I never had wild world bc my mom never got me it, but yeah I won't get it now because I lost my ds but I play acnh now so yup lost all my data once somehow I saved while doing smth (idk how it allowed me to :]) but yea when I came back I had nothing saved and I had just finished a build that took forever :`)
Endlessly scratching their face? Sounds like a normal reaction to a mosquito bite to me.
@@MegamanXfan21xx YOOOOOOOOO RELATABLE
Maybe they are just too lazy to give you their photo 😂
@@taramalinen9942 that sucks, man.
The one with the house saying they already moved is kinda scary because they just left their house there and are just like I moved you can’t do anything
It's kinda like they actually MOVED OUT of the house... instead of just taking it with them
i had an odd experience in new horizons that i can only assume was a glitch that i've found no mention of anywhere online where i entered a villagers house only to find they were not home and the music was turned off. im assuming i must have entered the house the exact same time the game decided the villager was leaving? only ever happened to me once
another fun glitch i had with wild world (which im pretty sure was an emulation issue but i still want to mention it bc i found it pretty interesting) was that the town bell would ring like every 5 minutes rather than every hour
I had what turned out to be a fake copy of Wild World that would chime the town bell frequently and would randomly announce events like the Bug-off or the Acorn Festival. In the middle of February, at midnight. Used to annoy the hell out of me.
@@Azira_Amane i’m guessing you got rid of that fake copy.
If you still have it though, that would be interesting. But, i doubt you’d even touch it anyways. It can stay turned off.
I’ve heard of that first glitch a lot online! You’re right, it happens because you tried to enter at the same time they left
Pretty neat video! I'd err against classifying the Gamecube AC's gyroid face as a glitch though, because it was deliberately programmed in by Nintendo and is included in their patent for online play at the time, U.S. Patent No. 10,363,481. The fact that Resetti doesn't appear shouldn't swing that the other way- Resetti simply doesn't appear if you reset during online play.
i was about to say this! resetti wouldnt yell at you during online play because you can unintentionally lose connectionso it wouldnt be fair to be berated lol
there was online play on animal crossing gamecube?
@@piercelyq The person in the video said that if you had your friend's memory card and put it in the 2nd slot, you could access their town.
it isn't intentional. Nintendo wouldn't do that in animal crossing. Why would nintendo delete your inventory, and terrify you. sure, resetti will scare you, but he admits to joking afterwards. with this the game doesn't acknowledge it, and again, why would nintendo do that? it is completely un-intentional. it's placeholders for when you're in the train. Nintendo didn't realise you could force that state into the real game
I found a glitch in New Horizons where if you talk to a villager as they lay down, they will sit up to talk to you and then repeatedly lay down and sit up in between text boxes
My worst nightmare: exercise.
Were they trying to do push-ups, or something?
I WISH I will witness that with rod... Tho idk if he actually lays down, maybe he rests like horses
In New Leaf, the throwing beans item could be used to clip out of bounds also. You could get another player to push you as you spammed the animation, and it was really quick.
I have a lot of funny screenshots, but the most interesting thing we found was when clipping past the trashcan that blocks the Fortune Teller Shop on main street. When clipping past the trashcan at night, the door would say that the store was closed. During the day however, the UI would disappear like an animation was about to play, but then stop itself. And yes, I had to save and quit to get back out from behind the trash can.
Nice shoutout for Jeff's channel! I'm a friend of his and he's an amazing dude 👍 Not only has he been doing Animal Crossing content for more than 10 years but he's overall a really cool and funny guy to hangout with 😊
you know that clip that he shared of glitching animals to that river, i actually linked him the trick to do that glitch! I am also a fellow friend of Jeff :) - Yann
I remember the whole star bit saga in New Horizons when the game first came out. People managed to hack in trees that would grow the stars, and sell them to other people.
I actually had a glitch happen to me recently when I was playing ACNH with my friend. I was on their island and at one point we both tried to get into the museum, and I guess the game got confused?? They got in and their game froze, showing them a never-ending loading screen, while I was stuck outside and unable to enter the museum at all. Nothing was happening so unfortunately we had to turn our switches on an off and cut the connection to go back to normal, but yeah. Really weird stuff.
Not sure if this counts, but a while ago Wolfgang moved to my island, claiming to have come from my sister's island.
I sent my sister a message, teasing her about Wolfgang preferring my island...Only to be told Wolfgang wad still on her island as well as a picture of proof.
We like to joke he's living a double life :P

In city folk’s (or in my case, let’s go to the city) Nookington’s glitch, the player isn’t huge, rather they are up a height in an out of bounds space.
If you do the windmill/lighthouse glitch and save whilst up there, this triggers the scorpion bite animation at the base of the tower and then you wake up outside your house.
Also you could clip into darkness in the museum bottom left hand corner in the same vein as the lighthouse glitch online pushing!
Great video, lots of glitching memories :)
In his video the player isn't big either, ita just closer to the camera. Also, scorpion bite animation? There is no scorpions in ACCF iirc.
@@STRIKER9001 There totally are scorpions! Search Jvgsjeff "Animal Crossing: City Folk - Catching My First Scorpion" for proof. Had me questioning my memory there hahah
@@bronwynknox3605 now I'm questioning my memory. How did I forget about those!? I sunk a few thousand hours into city folk! That was my bad bro XD
@@STRIKER9001 Haha no problem! It was a long time since I've played :)
@@bronwynknox3605 yeah, it's definitely been quite a few years for me
My all-time favourite New Horizons glitch only occurred very early on, and only ever happened with one villager as far as I’m aware. If you had Claude on your island and he was crafting, he had two DIY workbenches that would clip into each other, and his crafting animation wouldn’t show. He’d still give you a DIY recipe, though. It’s not a very notable glitch, but I think it’s way too funny
Hi! I see you on maybe Salem's videos a lot 😎
@@sporkzzz oh hey! nice to see you here too ;)
I used to have trees on the 4th level. I found it very appropriate and mountainesque. No need for anything else like items up there. I planted some spruce trees and it was very nice. Then one day my mountain had no trees. very sad nintendo
One harmless glitch in new horizons was that if you time travel and one of your villagers was about to move,
there was a small chance that the house did not change. Just the outside and it stays like this forever.
It happened to me once and I still have this villager on my island. Even after moving the house on a different place, the house did not change
I've gotten the 'music cuts out' glitch in New Horizons as well. In addition to that, when I talked to a villager, their voice started off as one of a different personality for some reason before turning back to normal.
Imagine talking to a preppy villager and they have the voice of a cranky😭
I've gotten a glitch where a villager's voice cuts off while they're talking.
Great video but the gyroid face is not a glitch and it was intended to scare you into saving your game since it's the face of a gyroid, which would be what you had to save at.
It's not a glitch, and it's kind of silly how long it's been called one even though the gyroid face perfectly matches your character and the texture doesn't have deformities/oddities that other texture glitches would have when they're being mapped to objects they're not suppose to.
I remember an early glitch from Pocket Camp where the entire floor turned black
and a really early one where sometimes the menu screens would just completely mess up the text
and a more recent one where Ankha kept appearing in loading screens when she hadn't been properly added to the game yet. Weirdest part is, they tried to patch that out, but it still kept happening afterwards it was weird
wow cool
But why Ankha, specifically?
actually, don’t answer that question.
There's a patched glitch in Happy Home Paradise where if you dressed the restaurant staff with a custom design and then saved and returned, they would just look naked. Failboat found it in a stream and spent the next two hours losing his mind.
the i moved out glitch is actually a feature, because they take your villager, so obviously you can no longer visit them as they are now with the person who took them. that's why the house resets to an empty plot the next day
infact most of these glitches arent glitches lmao mostly just the out of bounds ones 😭😂
In Wild World, I’m pretty sure there was a way to go out of bounds and get on top of the walls on the left and right side. I am unsure how it was done though, but I remember I did it with my friend. All I remember is that we used the slingshots once we were on top of the wall because every time you used the slingshot, it would make the camera go to your location. I think somehow our characters froze, but we could continue to type.
Yea
duuude can you remember how to do this!!!!! please!!
you entered animal crossing ether. All that was left was your voices
I didn't think the Moved Out thing was a glitch? It kept you from giving away a villager twice or double crossing someone.
1:00 imagine u were a kid and ur power went out when visiting ur friends town and when the power went back, you booted up the game to see ur inventory gone and also that face
i remember the gyroid face one when you dont save. that one freaked me tf out when i was a kid, i didnt know what or why that happened. lotta ppl dont know how much harsher the first animal crossing was lol, but i feel like that "harshness" is whats missing frm the current ac games, it made the game a little bit more interesting imo
The "i've moved out" glitch kinda creepy. Idk why but the fact that you just got an empty villager house just kinda scared me. But honestly it would be a good like addition to the game
stopped the video as soon as he called the gyroid face a glitch, real smooth brain moment there
0:28
Tom nook,
That wasn’t weed…
Those were GY-ROIDS
5:18 I think it was just the cartridge jostling around too much, but one time while playing acnl, I was just standing by my river and suddenly I couldn't move and all the music cut, but all the river sounds where still there as my character stood frozen, starting at the screen. It was super creepy at the time, freaked me out a bunch. Again, it's not a glitch, I don't think, but it's crazy that a similar thing happened to other people on a different animal crossing game.
couple of other Wild World ones I experienced
If you had a song playing in one room, then went to another room and removed that song, it will still be playing in the other room. you can't change it or turn it off... even taking the music player away doesn't stop it
the other was more of a softlock, but one time at around 2am I had a villager ask to come to my house. When I was setting up the time for him to show up, he said 2:30 was too early and 2:31 was too late. There was no exit option. I literally softlocked myself and had no choice but to reset and I lost a lot of progress...
In the New Horizons segment of the video the first two glitches discussed are still in the game (glitching into objects and getting on the fourth tier). The only difference is that you can no longer place items on the fourth tier. This was not discussed in the video, but you can glitch trees to sit on the edges of cliffs but I don't know if they can still sit on a singular piece of land anymore like was shown in the video.
love the documentation on this video! all of this is very interesting
also i don't know if anyone else has said this,but i'm not so sure the online City Folk glitch has a character become giant. it seems like the character is teleported onto a higher part of the indoors map, putting them closer to the camera. probably why they couldn't collide with other players
In 8:21isaw that when the guy recording moved the guy that waw big moved wierdlythen i noticed its just them being glitch up to the ceiling wichis where the camera is near and makes him look big
Loving all of your videos! I’ve watched 10 so far today!
I remember when I was playing New Horizons at night, and all the music cut out. It was very off-putting; and my Overthinking-Brain kept saying: “It’s Brutus. Brutus cut your music off he’s coming for your data-”
And I’m like “It’s not Brutus. It most probably a Glitch. 💀”
In Wild World, if you hit a villager with a net, you might cause them to become angered or sad.
This obviously isn't a glitch, but every time you talked to specifically a depressed villager, their voice would get deeper and deeper.
...True nightmare fuel, that was.
7:53
I’ve been watching Jeff (plus checking his blog occasionally) for years! Deserves some recognition 😊 thanks
Oh man they were so many glitches I did in New Leaf. I loved hanging out on the bridge, in the river… I even learned how to fall completely under the map! I’m sure I have tons of screenshots on my 3ds still from doing this. I’m sad so many of those glitches were eventually patched
Just subscribed! Excited to see you make it big, your videos are great! 😄
I think the only suspicious thing about the "I moved out" glitch is the fact that there's literally programed text that tells you the villager moved out. As far as I know, the villager stays up all hours up until it's time for them to leave, which would be 5 A.M. the next day, and usually that triggers a whole segment with Isabelle's morning speech, so the villager would be gone after that. There's no reason for the "I moved out" text bubble to exist, but it does and I can't help but question why?
A little sad the New Leaf duplication glitch wasn't mentioned- then again, it is technically patched for newer 3DS models so I can see why but still.
New leaf was the best
City Folk was my first Animal Crossing game I was able to get, this video has so much nostalgia for me
Wasn't there a glitch in New Horizons that involved the unfinished puzzle item that allowed you to walk in rivers? I remember doing it one time.
You make amazing videos keep up the work
The "giant player" glitch is not actually making the charater larger.
They are acually much, much closer to the camera, on top of some invisible collision geometry.
"i've moved out" is intentional, the house stays on your island for one day while they move, and once they're fully moved in the plot opens back up
I love your videos! Keep on doing what your'e doing!
The gyroid face legit had me crying and screaming as a kid. My mom had to pretend to call Nintendo and everything. Thankfully it went back to normal after restarting the game.
Also dang I wish I knew how to make my island look good xD it looks just...normal, kinda meh. I have all the villagers in a little neighborhood, and all the shops in one corner, but it's so meh compared to what ppl come up with xD
I remember using the out of bounds glitch in new leaf, it was really fun, I still remember the duplication glitch was one of my favourite
The gyroid face isn’t a glitch. It’s entirely intentional as a method to stop people cheesing the system.
one time i had the dodo in the airport ask if i wanted online or local play, i said local, he just stared at me for like 1 minute and the music turned off, it wasn’t frozen, he was still swaying / breathing, it was kind of scary (acnh)
I’ll have to test to see if it still works but in ACNH I once got a glitch where I was trying to catch a bug and I accidentally hit a villager on the head while catching, and the bug turned into a flea
acnh was confused
man i miss the out of bounds glitches in new leaf. welcome amiibo was fun but being able to hang out on the cliffs separating main street from the HHA showcase was even better. still got pictures of that somewhere...
So the moved out glitch, I don't think it's a glitch. They may have already talked to them and it autosaved before you disconnected. I've given villagers away and after the person left without any issues, it said that they already left until the next day.
I remember when Pocket Camp launched, there was a relatively frequent glitch where the animations for villagers would get messed up, and they'd kind of tilt and jiggle around instead of animating properly. It's very hard to explain but it always used to creep me out a little, made them look like haunted dolls.
With new horizons, what about the villager house plot if you view it on the pavement and then don’t place it. Like it’ll let you put trees and flowers on the pavement? I know it’s patches now but it could have been included
I ONLY had pocket camp, ONLY.
I have pocket camp and new horizons so that if I want to play animal Crossing but I don't have my switch with me I can just play pocket camp
Love the JVGSJeff shoutout ngl
I never knew about the duplicate glitch in Wild World. It would have been helpful as a kid. I trying to get in the water by using the kink tut or whatever it's called mask cause I thought I saw somewhere that it works when you fall just right.
It's a shame there's no unlock glitch since upgrading the shops requires a visitor buying from your shop. I missed out the only chance I got cause I didn't think about time travel & the shop was closed.
There's ways to get the Wii's internet back up using fan services. Even has a way to do it with Homebrew & without it.(You'll need Homebrew if trying it on the WiiU though)
I think the music stopping glitch is the creepiest
Resetti was actually REMOVED. And the reason for that is because he made little kids cry, because he was screaming at them for not saving properly or something. Thanks for listening.
I was one of those kids.
jvgsjeff is an icon in the Animal Crossing world
Or when Leif can’t find weeds for his weeding service
There is one glitch found in City Folks which I call the Bee Chasing Music Continuous and it's one of the hardest ones to pull off.
So in order to do this one you need of course bees chasing you and need another bug near by then you have to catch both at the same time which done right with a lot of luck the bee chasing music will continue until you go inside a building/house or quit the but other thing about this is whatever bug you catch with the bees will be the other bug not the bees.
Unfortunately I can't do the glitch again because it's all about luck to do it and wish there was a way to record it too during that time.
Every time a youtuber calls the Gyroid face in AC GCN a glitch I lose years of my life. Even the slightest crumb of research would prove otherwise.
I remember once I gave my mom one of my villagers and got the "I've moved out" message after she left through the airport, despite no disconnecting happening, everything was fine but still kinda odd
One time in new leaf, my game glitched and one of my villagers was sitting on Lloyd but i was building an arch. I posted it on miiverse too
I remember first finding the glitch town on complete random in 2016 and having nightmares about it
the moved out thing isn't a glitch in new horizons. Its intended. Remember autosaves, so unfortunately it must have autosaved after they talked to bob.
Players: Find a way to hide the HUD to take better pictures
Nintendo: Good idea, lets get rid of the glitch and add it as a feature
(New Horizon segment)
In acnh me and my friend were selling a villager and we were in the house when the talked to it and when they left there was a empty house with no villagers just box’s
8:13 I think it might be that the player is on the invisible roof
I had a glitch where bones said dialogue but didn't make the speaking sounds
I'm upset that he referred to the 3DS as "back-in-the-day" because I GREW UP on the Nintendo DS, and now I feel old even though I'm only in highschool
The clickbait made me laugh haha, but this video is very well done. You've got a new subscriber. 😆👍
I used to duplicate rare items like villager pictures and other things in acww. So that my cousin and I had them both.
You need to visit them (local multiplayer) and both lay down all items or bells you want to duplicate. Then you need to head back home and while saving you have to turn off your system after the circle did the 6th round. That way you still have your inventory because it didn't save but your friend has everything as well because their game saved normally.
But resetti will visit you...
The gyroid face looks like coco from acnh
this was 1 hour ago? (it says 1 hour ago for me btw.) this is very cool! I love these types of videos! I usually listen to videos like these whilst I color my drawings :)
15:43
If that happened to me I would throw my Nintendo switch over the moon
In the game cube version of animal crossing the island is always there, get on the water and go straight down from the dock, and if it's raining or snowing your more likely to see the big fish shadow glitch.
I GOT A SHARK ISLAND! I’m not sure if it was a glitch but all the fish were sharks. If I missed, its fine. Because there were like 5 different sharks already on the island. I got a whale shark and a bunch of other sharks
I really loved this video. Thank you!
Why did I laugh so hard at 10:12 lmao just BRRRRRR 😂
there was a dupe glitch in wild world you could do over multiplayer and my friend and i would do it CONSTANTLY every time we hung out we were like "okay, do you need bells? do you want this item? awesome, let's dupe"
I have only ever played Wild World, so I'm gonna share some of my own experiences!!
First of all I NEED to talk about a "softlock" (not sure if it's a true softlock, I'll get to that later) that has now happened to me TWICE in the same town, one of which was only about a week ago. I'm not the only one who has experienced this, as I found at least one message board where someone had the same issue! I feel like it's definitely a glitch, but no one ever talks about it!! It occurred after a villager would ask to come over to my house and I accepted, but then no matter what time I put in, it was either too early or too late. Literally, one minute would be "too early" and then one extra minute would be "too late". And since there's no way to exit out of the interaction once you've agreed, you're just stuck in an endless loop of inserting a time and the villager saying it doesn't work.
I don't know why this happens but I have a THEORY: I THINK it happens when a villager asks to come over when it's really late, like after midnight but before 1am. I THINK villagers don't want to visit you after a certain time (I think 1am), BUT they can still ask you if it's before that time. However, villagers always want you to pick a time at least 30 minutes later than the current time (at least to my knowledge). So if it's after 12:30, you're stuck, as there's no way to back out once you've agreed to let them come over.
Now, if my theory behind why this happens is correct, then it's POSSIBLE that if you put your device in sleep mode and come back in the morning, then MAYBE you could get out of it without resetting... But I have no idea, and frankly I don't really want to test it out LOL.
Okay now for the actual video:
5:15 Wow I have NEVER had that happen before!! Then again, I have often played with either really low volume or no volume, so it's possible that it has occurred and I just didn't notice lol! I do go fishing a lot, though, so I'll keep that in mind and see if it ever happens to me in the future!
7:09 THAT'S HAPPENED TO ME!! In fact, it was just a couple months ago!! I saw a group of fleas in an area, but there were no villagers around. And just like you said in the video, I couldn't catch them... Weird stuff! Glad to know I wasn't just seeing things lol! 😂
WII ABUSE?! THOSE POOR WIIS

*Crime Alert*
*WII ABUSE*
I remember there was this glitch/bug I experienced when getting a campsite villager in New Horizons. I'd gotten Audie in the campsite after doing time traveling methods to get her. I was very eager to have her move in where Renee currently was. I confirmed it, saved, but then made the mistake of not waiting until the next day. I was too excited and time traveled forward (or backward, I don't remember) back to my current date and time. I booted up the day and Renee's exterior was still there, but it was Audie and her interior.
Thankfully I was able to reach out to someone and moving her off of my island, onto theirs, and back again worked! Audie had her proper exterior and she's still on my island today :D
So I had a Switch Lite for the longest time and my husband recently got a full size Switch for me as a birthday present. Of course, I had to start a new island on there.
I swear, I had 5 tarantulas naturally spawn the first night…🤣 Does anyone know if they changed the spawn rate again within the last several months or am I just tarantula-blessed? I remember being so mad when they originally nerfed the spawn rate to cut down on tarantula/scorpion island farming soon after release.
Oh wow, did not expect to see myself in this video haha 4:44
For the beta map glitchy names, they actually are Japanese, but sense the Japanese local is not present in the English version, it is simply gibberish. when getting the hexadecimal for the names, and using the Japanese locale, the name is actually Johnny D. the Japanese equivalent of John Doe. The more you know.
8:22 the character who is out-of-bounds “huge” is actually much closer to the camera’s position and that is why they appear much larger…
8:15 that’s actually on air position.
Look closely cuz when current player moving the camera the other player is not moving their legs.
11:25 I don't know if it's documented anywhere, but if you went onto that red train bridge, and net glitched out of bounds upwards into the sea. You could run across that out of bounds sea upwards until you reach an invisible wall in front of a void. If you net glitch into the void you're technically underneath the town, and it was really cool to mess around with. Your footsteps would still appear on the sand above you and other players could see it, and if you blew bubbles or used the watering can players could see and hear that coming out of the ground too. And if someone dug a hole for you and you walk under the space it's in, you'd end up in the hole and have to shake yourself out of it like with a pitfall. And if you ran upwards and upwards all the way to the top of the map again, you'd be under under the map, and it'd just go on forever. A void under the town with never ending layers being under. And there was a really easy way to get out, if you saved and continued the game, once the game was done saving every player out of bounds would have the scorpion bite animation play, and then they'd be teleported to their house or to the town hall if they're visiting the town.
I had so much fun messing with this glitch online with my friends as a kid, I miss those days. Unfortunately Welcome Amiibo patched the out of bounds net glitch and many others and most people stopped playing after that.
