nintendo forgot about these animal crossing characters

Having Pelly, Phyllis, and Pete reduced to a terminal and a postcard rack has got to be one of the saddest downgrades in the history of animal crossing

I would literally pay anything, just to have Phyllis, Pelly & Pete back in my game 😭💐✨

Its kinda ironic how many characters Wilbur and Orville killed off since they're an extinct species

For Frillard, I'm pretty sure there's a very rare line from Shrunk in New Leaf where he mentions his "old mentor" who's no longer around - which strongly suggests he was no longer alive.

I still can't believe they didn't add Digby to HHP. Why introduce so many new characters when they knew fans were waiting for the old ones? Even in New Leaf the poor guy was just standing out in the rain day and night 😭

ACNH should have brought back tortermer's island. I would have fit so perfect. I miss playing the mini games with friends

I'm sure Nintendo removed characters like Joan, Nat and Chips simply because they did not fit the "cute" aesthetic Animal Crossing is now known for, just look how they were replaced with cute young looking characters. Its rather sad.

I loved Blanca SO MUCH as a kid. It was so fun trying to draw the weirdest face possible.

we deserved gracie and her store, she always made me feel so official as a child

If you go to Harv’s island in the fall, sometimes Tortimer will be wearing the Cornimer mask, implying that they are one and the same.

I miss Digby so much 😭

I miss Shrunk so much in NH, and subsequently miss Frillard. Same with the old bug-off and fishing tourney hosts, should’ve had flick and CJ be random visitors but kept Chip and Nat for the tourneys themselves

I miss the obscure NPCs like Wendell and Phineas.....Phineas I'm SUPER confused about sense....his scout badges would've been PERFECT for new horizons somehow...even if it was just 5 or 10 badges they still could've made Phineas work....Heck they honestly could've made most the NPCs work in the game if they just.....put more effort about it? Not saying that to be mean but there's so many left ot NPCS that easily fit in with New Horizons island theme that are just gone or NPCs that can still work with new horizons if they just thought about it some more-- Edit: also ID LOVE TO SEE THE OK MOTORS TRIO IN MAINLINE GAMES and Bring Blanca back 202k--something...

i hate thinking that some characters got replaced and i just like to think they retired and their family took over like in the case of joan and daisy mae. like cj and flick are related to chip and nat. i just want to draw connections and keep the family involved instead of thinking they got cut entirely. keeps things hopeful that way almost lol

its kinda a bummer you dont see Rover alot anymore, itd be actually cool if you could have him as a villager.

I genuinely still don't understand why New Horizons made so many characters cuts :/ its really really sad

Maybe one day, there will be an Animal Crossing game that will have every single character including the characters that Nintendo forgot. Who’s knows when. We’ll just have to wait and see for ourselves.

I really wish Rover had more participations on AC games, i always wanted him to have his own events so he would visit the island and see how the player is doing.

I still also think Celeste could easily have a spot in the museum across from the cafe

Gracie not being in New Horizons was honestly pretty disappointing to me. Even if her clothes and furniture were very expensive in the older games, many of the things she sold were my personal favorite clothes and furniture sets, especially the Gracie clothing set itself, so said items being expensive was honestly worth the extra effort to try and get them in my opinion.
