9 Animal Crossing E+ features that never made it outside of Japan (Ft. StarlitGlitch)
There are a lot of differences between the Japanese (Doubutsu No Mori E+ / Animal Forest E+) and English Port (Animal Crossing: Population Growing)of Animal Crossing. In this video, I hope to explain and showcase those differences.

I feel like the island resort is actually related to Animal Crossing New Horizons! Tom Nook finally has the budget for the resort and has sent you there for testing. Eventually more people (the villagers ) move in and it becomes a booming success! I believe the island in New Leaf isn’t Tom Nook’s... But the island in New Horizons is!

They didn’t remove the island on the English version, just changed how you get access to it. I remember you had to have a GBA and a link cable, but not specifically what you had to do with it.
@TStodden

I can concur that Animal Crossing did have "Animal Island" in it. You just needed to connect your GBA to your GameCube without a game in it to have Kapp'n to appear at the dock. If it was your first trip there, you got to name the island. The contents of the island is virtually the same (1 islander chosen randomly, a blank flag & a community hut with 2 blue + 2 red Hawaiian Shirts inside & perpetual summer). Since the island is community property, ANYBODY (& I do mean ANYBODY) can modify the island however they like. One extra feature is that you could upload a copy of your island to your GBA & play with the islander as you leave. This was a way to get some exclusive items (there's 2 NES game one-sided this way) & allows you to take the island to a friend's town. When they hit the dock, the game will download the current state of the island on the GBA. If it was your native island, the changes become permanent. If it was a guest island, you have to re-upload the island back to the GBA & return it to your guest to update things in their game... OR NOT & have that version of the island vanish like a dream (potential duplication abuse here). The Island was a nice side thing that you could play with outside the game (just like borrowing the pattern tools from there Able Sisters).

This is a great video. I especially loved learning about the island already existing so much earlier than New Leaf! It even had the song! Really neat stuff. Also waking up Tom Nook was adorable.
This is so cool, I can’t wait to play the translated version once it’s finished! Something I find interesting is that, in the original dobutsu no mori, there wasn’t an able sisters or a museum.
I'd love if that E+ version of the title screen was activated when you got a perfect town

I remember always visiting that island, it is weird how much different the method of getting there is in this version. That was like the only thing I used my link cable for.
That’s fascinating how the international version ended up being different enough that Nintendo decided to sell it to Japanese audiences. And now we have international audiences translating it again!
A bunch of cut characters were actually added back with New Horizons, which is pretty awesome
I remember, as a kid, reading about a lot of these mechanics online except people were passing them off as features of the english release. I always assumed they were all fake since I grew up with pokemon and got exposed to plenty of false rumors already through that medium. Really cool to actually see them shown off like this. Great video :)

Thank you for all of that information!
There were a couple of the features in the American version but most of them are long gone
Would the two unused seasonal pallettes happen to be called "nuke" in the game's data? I ask because they look a lot like what I've seen of a special e+ feature, where you can actually save a copy of your town to an SD card via the official memory card slot adapter, and then lend it out to someone either physically or over the internet. They can then play around in it to their heart's content and then return it to you. In other words, it's like an inverted version of the travelling mechanic, where instead of your character temporarily leaving your save file, it's your _town_ doing so. You can technically still visit your town while it's lent-out, but it'll be frozen in time and, if I heard right, limited in functionality since the system has no way of knowing what changes the person you lent the town to have made to the town until it comes back. While in this frozen state, where even the ingame clock doesn't move a tick, unique lifeless pallettes are used as a constant visual reminder that your town not currently "alive" on your system at the moment.
I might be a redundant comment here but I'm pretty dang sure that black ladybug is in the NTSC Animal Crossing...
