Not all change is for the better. Animal Crossing: New Leaf is, in my opinion, the best Animal Crossing game in the series. That said, there is one holiday in the game that I absolutely do not like at all.
I don't like the Harvest Festival.
I use to love the Harvest Festival in previous Animal Crossing games. It was so much fun.
Basically, in previous Animal Crossing games, you had to hunt down a Turkey named Franklin. Franklin hid all over your town. It was like an advanced version of hide and seek. That turkey could really hide! Once you found him, you had to keep taking him knives and forks in order to get him to give you the entire Harvest set. Doesn't necessarily sound fun right? Well it was a ton of fun. One of the big things that made it fun was all of Franklin's funny dialogue. He was really nervous turkey!
I always looked forward to playing the Harvest Festival on Thanksgiving. It was just one more great thing about the holiday.
And then...
Nintendo changed it for New Leaf. And they ruined it.
Now, I don't usually like to talk bad about Nintendo. I love Nintendo. I love Animal Crossing. But...this was a huge mistake!
The Harvest Festival in New Leaf has Franklin as a cook now. He's trying to get you to make an alternative meal for Thanksgiving. But you have to collect a bunch of stuff before the day: fruit, mushrooms, fish, and give it to him. So the Harvest Festival has been turned into a collect-a-thon now and the reward for doing all this work is nowhere as good as the reward you use to get. You can buy all of the Harvest stuff at the Nooklings store now. Thank goodness I suppose.
This new version of the Harvest Festival is just awful. Its not fun at all.
I really miss how the holiday use to be.
I hope Nintendo brings back that old version of the holiday in the next game. I know they didn't have it in this one because you're the mayor and you wouldn't invite the turkey to town to be eaten and neither would Isabelle. The solution in my opinion? They could have had someone anonymously invite him to town! It could have been left a mystery.
Anyway, I never play this new Harvest Festival. I always just turn City Folk for the Wii on and play the old hide and search version. Thank goodness the Wii U plays Wii games!
Have you played the new Harvest Festival on New Leaf? What do you think of it? Please let me know in the comments!
