{{nihongo|'''''Dōbutsu no Mori'''''|どうぶつの森|'''Animal Forest''' in English}}, is the name of the first installment in the {{SER}}. It was released only in Japan for the [[Nintendo 64]]. It was later remade for the [[GameCube]] in 2002,  and released worldwide as {{PG}}. This game is compatible with the Expansion Pak and is displayed in a higher resolution when it is used (640x480 as opposed to 320x240). People have made fan translations, which translate some important parts of the game, including [[Tom Nook]]'s dialogue, but villagers and many other NPCs do not have translated dialogue.


==GCN Port Differences==
[[Image:0BellShrine.PNG|thumb|left|The '''Bell Shrine''' in Animal Forest.]]
*The real-time clock was a new feature for the games.
*[[File:Herabunafishyfishy.png|thumb|A player catches a [[Herabuna]], an Animal Forest-only fish.]]Questions are asked to determine your look.
*The [[Able Sisters]] and their shop are not in Animal Forest; thus, designs are not available.
*When fish are released in the [[N64]] game, they bounce along the ground and into the water instead of diving straight in.
*Insects are not restricted by acres and can freely wander into other acres. Banded Dragonflies and similar airborne insects cannot fly too far out to sea in the [[N64]] game, but in {{PG}} there is no limit.
*Some of the wallpapers and carpets from Animal Forest were redesigned or removed in {{PG}}.
*Some of the clothing from Animal Forest, for example, the N Logo shirt (G Logo in Animal Crossing), are redesigned or removed in [[Animal Crossing]].
*Two sets of stationery from Animal Forest, the New Year's Card and the Fortune Paper, are redesigned.
*The [[holidays]] from Animal Forest are either changed or removed in {{PG}}.
*[[Tom Nook]] wears slightly different uniforms.
*The [[Wishing Well]] from {{PG}} is a '''[[Wishing Well|Bell Shrine]]''' in Animal Forest. On New Year's Day, instead of tossing a coin in the fountain, the player shakes the thick rope in the middle and the bells ring.
*The input keyboard from {{PG}} is a dial that contains the letters, numbers, and symbols that appear on the screen in Animal Forest.[[File:NINTENDO64--Animal_Forest_english_translation_Sep26_20_42_44.jpg|thumb|The dial input system in ''Animal Forest'' (taken from a fan-translated copy)]]
*In {{PG}}, [[Gulliver]] would give the player a rare furniture piece for saving him. In Animal Forest, he gives the player a random furniture piece.
*In {{PG}}, three items could be stored in container furniture such as dressers, wardrobes, etc. In Animal Forest, only one item can be stored in these kinds of furniture.
*In {{PG}}, a player's initial home had a wooden box that had a college rule journal on top. In Animal Forest, this is not included, so this means this feature was either not included or both items have to be bought from Nook.
*In {{PG}}, the catalog has a section called "Handhelds" where umbrellas, pinwheels, fans, balloons and tools could be ordered. In Animal Forest, this section is called "Umbrellas" and only umbrellas can be ordered from that section. This means pinwheels, fans, balloons, and tools cannot be ordered from the catalog.
*In {{PG}}, the player could store multiple airchecks in Stereos, Radios, etc. In Animal Forest, only one aircheck could be stored in them.
*Buildings such as [[Tom Nook|Tom Nook's]] shop, the [[Post Office]], and the [[Dump]] have slightly redesigned logos in {{PG}}.
*There is no [[Museum]], thus there is no [[Blathers]]. The [[Faraway Museum]] still exists, and fossils can be sent there for identification.
*Taking a trip in Animal Forest requires the player have one Controller Pak to save travel data on, and two Controller Paks are needed to travel directly. In {{PG}}, an extra Memory Card is used to save travel data, and the player can travel directly to the other town if two Memory Cards with town data are in use at the same time.
*e-Reader support was added to the Japanese and North American releases of {{PG}}.
*[[Mayor Tortimer]] was not a character yet and no gifts could be obtained from him.
*During the [[Cherry Blossom Festival]] all the villagers sit on mats.
*[[Katrina]] wore a white headband instead of the normal veil that she wears in {{PG}}.
*Instead of buying stationery as a pack of four, only one piece of paper can be bought at a time.
*In {{PG}}, a [[Money Rock]] appears for every player in a village each day. In Animal Forest there is only one money rock per town per day, no matter how many people are playing.
*There was no tropical island and there was no Kapp'n.
*[[Villager]]s were not affected if a player hit them with a net.
*[[Blanca]] did not exist.
*The live version of several K.K.Songs have been changed. [[K.K. Ballad]] has a different melody in the main verses, while [[DJ K.K. (song)|DJ K.K.]] uses a different set of guitar riffs, which were most likely changed due to their similarities with the song "Get Ready for This" by 2 Unlimited.
*Items look different when on the ground. Stationery is a paper bag with a leaf on it, clothing are treasure chests, and tools are toolboxes. These aesthetics were later re-used for {{WW}}.
*Mystery items for sale at Nooks. (early January?)
*[[Bluebear]]'s and [[Stella]]'s original designs were also slightly different than now, and their appearances were tweaked to the current design in {{AF+}} and {{PG}}. Some of the other villagers have under gone these tweaks as well.
*There were no [[coconuts]] in Animal Forest.
*When getting bad fortunes identified by [[Katrina]], slightly different effects happen. This can include tripping and falling half as frequently or less malfunctioning of the [[friendship]] of other villagers.
