Behind 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Animal Crossing: New Horizons' most infamous fish joke, there's a story of🐎 developers trying to make the game wholesome and heartwarming in every way possible.
Nintendo of America localizer Rob Heiret shared a Twitter thread over the weekend talking about his role helping to bring the game to English-speaking audiences. Heiret said he and the rest of the localization team joked that they were "building the next 5-10 years' worth of memes" while they worked on New Horizons, but that they never could have predicted how the COVID-19 paꦍndemic has made the game a source of comfort to so many people.
Though Nintendo couldn't have foreseen the circumstances around N♚ew Horizons' launch, it did already put in the effort to make sure the game always felt as warm, comforting, and encouraging as possible. That's where the story behind the infamous fish joke - "I caught a sea bass! No, wait - it's at least a C+!" comes in
And when we were workshopping the fish jokes, someone pointed out that, as a joke people were going to see many, many times, genera🔜lly along with disappointment they didn't catch something better, maybe it🌞 would be better to spin it positive. Make it a C+ instead.
Anyway, my point is, we were doing our very best, down to details you mi𒊎ght not have considered, to make this the most positive, comforting, funny game we could.𒉰 And I know the dev team was doing the same.
Even if you're as tired of the sea bass joke as Heiret is, hopefully now you'll have a little extra appreciation for the thought process behind his fishy wordplay. I don't know about you, but I'd rather caꦜtch a C+ 🦩bass 8,000 times than a C- bass.
Later in the thread, Rob says it's to be a small part of a game that's turned into a global phenomenon. He also hopes "we don't need the eventual next game in the franchise quite so muc𒊎h.🦩"
All that in mind, it's probably no coincidence that Animal Crossing: New Horizons has the best early sales of any Switch game.
