Animal Crossing: New Leaf is the fourth major installment in the Animal Crossing series, with new features like being the mayor, new villagers, customizable furniture, the island, the wet suit, and the cutest mayor's aide ever. And how could we forget the Shrunk Funk Shuffle?

The game got an update in October 2016, four years after the original release date, with the primary focus of adding support for those darned Amiibo Cards, which were released in late 2015 for Happy Home Designer (and a few select amiibo Figurines). With the new amiibo functionality, it was a last ditch attempt by Nintendo to make the darned amiibo Cards useful, and they succeeded in the end. This updated version was also re-released on cartridge as 'Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo', and it drastically changed the game's file system. Quite a bit of the unused content seen below was removed for the 'Welcome amiibo' release.

Unused Areas

It was possible to go out of bounds in various areas using one of a few glitches in the game before the 'Welcome amiibo' update patched a lot of these glitches out. This grants access to an area commonly referred to as 'the Abyss'. The Abyss is an empty area that connects the top and bottom parts of a level, creating a cylindrical loop. Each of the three Happy Home Academy showcase areas features two small squares of grass in their respective Abyss regions. The image above shows a player standing directly above a square piece of land. These squares are almost a full body's length beneath the player, and they match what the current season is. The two pieces are also horizontally adjacent to each other, suggesting that they may have been used for measurements. As mentioned above, these exploits to get to the Abyss have since been patched out in the 'Welcome amiibo' update.

Unused Graphics

E3 Leftovers

There are a few leftover graphics from an E3 2011 demo. The in-game screenshot shows early designs for a house, trees, shrubs, and flowers. Internal names for the four images are as follows: 'garden_image400x240_05', 'im_Garden_TitleLogo2', 'Upper_ThankYou_01', and 'Bottom_Thank'.

Miscellaneous

This dummy door texture is similar to one of the final designs.

An early design for the K.K. Swing album cover. This looks similar to the final DJ K.K.(called in Japan as EUROBEAT) cover, based on the e-Card from the first game.

A guideline for designing clothes.

A scrapped interaction icon. This graphic (without the X) is also present in Animal Crossing: City Folk, when choosing a bed to sleep in the attic.

A main dummy texture that can be found in many different archives.

Various dummy textures. The second pair can be found in Gracie related files. The third pair are labelled as Carpet Dummy and Wall Dummy respectively. The fourth set relates to shoe textures.

This unused door is a scrapped version of the final Shampoodle door. Both textures share the same internal name, 'cmn_dobj_cut_door', and the .bcres files that each texture is contained in have very similar names, both with the _cut postfix that is used for Shampoodle related files.

The design of each is completely different, making it a very interesting change, and suggests that Shampoodle was originally going to have a less 'modern' design.

Unused Models

Debug

Inside a directory named 'debug', there are four files: debug_sphere, debug_cylinder, debug_cube, and DebugFile.bin. The .bin file contains a bunch of placeholder data, which consists of the letter 'a' repeating over and over. The sphere, cylinder, and cube models have no associated textures.

Test

Inside a directory named 'Test', there are two variants of the villager Bob, named animal_model and sample10. The model remains the same on both, but one has a dummied out running animation.

A test version of the villager Cesar named animal_model2.

Simply named gpu_test, this model is a female villager's head. The model is internally named 'girl04a', and it contains textures for a variety of expressions. The skin tone and hair color for villagers is specified in-game, and isn't done via textures. This is why the model appears all-black. A mockup with edited textures is presented above to better visualize how the head looks. It's mostly the same as the final version of this female villager head style, except the GPU test model contains 21 more vertices.

This model pack contains two sets of textures: standard textures and [stripped] textures. The [stripped] textures have been modified to remove their alpha channel data.

Unused Text

code.bin

These strings are located in the game's code.bin executable file.

Starting at 0x7DD430 in the USA v1.5 code.bin:

Japanese text translates to 'forgotten', and 'static light parameter file'.

Starting at 0x80C9A8 in the USA v1.5 code.bin:

Each line of Japanese text translates to '[name] bank in use - skipping destroy' for banks 'mouth animation', 'eye animation', 'item', 'hat', 'accessory', 'shoe', 'leg', 'tops', 'bottoms', 'head', 'face', 'body', and 'MII'.

ScriptMSGVERSION.TXT

'PadReplay' folder

There is a directory named 'PadReplay' which contains four .bin files, two of which were intended for E3: GardenReplayBeachForE3.bin, and GardenReplayFlatForE3.bin. Garden is the internal name used for Animal Crossing: New Leaf. These files currently can't be viewed.

Miscellaneous Oddities

Public Works Project on the Beach

Normally, it's impossible to take Isabelle to the beach when building a new Public Works Project. When approaching the slope, she'll say that you can't build on sand and you won't be able to go further. If you do manage to glitch her into being on the beach with you, and you try to build something there, she'll say that the Public Works Project is 'too close to the cliff' to build there. This could indicate that building on the beach was once planned and later scrapped.

Unseen Tortimer Texture

The mayor's office in New Leaf has a fixed perspective, meaning rotating the camera manually isn't possible. Viewing the office in a model viewer reveals that the computer monitor on the desk actually displays Tortimer on the screen! This texture is exactly the same as the Tortimer portrait on the wall behind the desk, which can be normally seen in game. It is stretched to fit the monitor, and horizontally flipped.

Hidden Totaka's Song

'Totaka's Song', a short melody composed by Kazumi Totaka, is hidden in nearly every game he has worked as composer for. Usually, the song is literally hidden, with the player having to do something unusual to hear it. Animal Crossing makes it available as one of the K.K. Slider songs under the name 'K.K. Song'; New Leaf is no exception. However, another version of Totaka's Song is also present, and this one is hidden in traditional Totaka's Song fashion. To hear this hidden variation of the song in-game, a player needs to remain on the Club Tortimer online loading screen roughly 2 minutes and 30 seconds. This is only possible if the player has a horrendously awful Internet connection.

Welcome amiibo Unused Content

Bash Stackdump

A stackdump from a Bash crash, located in ItemModelbash.stackdump. This file was included in the 1.4 update.

ScriptMSGVERSION.TXT

Removed Items

The names of 22 items appear to have been removed late in Welcome Amiibo development, but can be partially restored from remnants of data.Some of these include removed daruma and OK Motors furniture.Anything with a sell price was likely intended to be possessed by the player. OK Motors appeared only in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, but the music by K.K. Slider would later appear in New Horizons.

OK Motors camper

An OK Motors camper appears to have been planned to appear as a random daily camper. It would be inhabited by Giovanni from Pocket Camp, and references to Giovanni's codename 'cwa' can be seen in the game files and folders relating to the campsite, though all related strings have been removed. A character model of cwa even exists, though it turns out to contain a duplicate Isabelle model. Melodies also seem to have been prepared for Beppe ('cwb') and Carlo ('cwc').This camper would likely be the source of the OK Motors jacket, cap, garland and sign items.

The camper texture has surfaced in the files of Pocket Camp.

Census Menu

The Census Menu is a scrapped menu that was introduced in the Welcome Amiibo update. The name 'Census' comes from it's filename, 'm_pcensus.arc'. 'm_p' is a prefix for the various TPC files, leaving 'census'. The menu lists various (~30) player-specific stats, such as the player's bank amount and money earned, which also further strengthens the name. While the menu displays various values, there is no corresponding text for these, and there is no evidence of them in the game's files. What every value represents is therefore not currently known.

A video showcasing this menu can be seen here.

Regional Differences

The banking machine has a different name across the Japanese, European, and North American releases. Bellpoint is a play on cashpoint, commonly used in some English-speaking countries. ABD is short for Automatic Bell Dispenser.

Animal Crossing New Leaf Amiibo Card Codes Free

As in Animal Crossing: City Folk, SMPTE Color Bars are used in the Japanese and North American version, while the Philips PM5544 test pattern is used in the European version.

Revisional Differences

As mentioned above, The Welcome amiibo update released on November 2, 2016 adds amiibo support, new items and characters, a campground, the ability to link a save file of Happy Home Designer to New Leaf for extra items, and two minigames obtainable from Wii U and New 3DS fortune cookie items. Decorating your house got a bit easier too, with the furniture arrangement functionality from Happy Home Designer being blatently copied backported into this game. Minor gameplay adjustments include rocks and pillows are now finally able to be sat on, as well as the area required for projects being a tad bit more lenient when near water or other houses. The internal code name used for this update is GardenPlus.

Internal Project Name

The game's internal project name is 'Garden', according to multiple strings. This is also reflected in the game's two-letter code 'GD'.
