Animal Crossing 64 wasn't released in the west due to the difficulty of translating all the references to Japanese holidays IIRC. I don't think that's a game you localize without a plan to release, even back then.Or maybe there's an official and never released english translation
I would play the fuck out of N64 Animal Crossing back to back with New Horizons.
EDIT: By the way, i remember Pokémon Stadium 2 also using the rtc, right? Unless it depended on the Game Boy cart connected in the transfer pack, but i don't think so.
We do know the expansion pak is going to be used sometime shortly for Majora's Mask. It doesn't strike me as odd that that's here.This is interesting. It looks like they've experimented with features which aren't being used for anything right now - including the expansion pak.
The controller pak and transfer pak are still intriguing to me.
