Nintendo: Animal Crossing’s Tom Nook Is “Very Misunderstood”

3DS, Nintendo, , , ,

animal_crossing_tom_nook

For those who don’t know, Tom Nook is a main character in every Animal Crossing game, including the upcoming Animal Crossing: New Leaf for Nintendo 3DS. Nook is notorious for pushing players to spend their hard-earned Bells – the currency used in the Animal Crossing series – toward repaying their loans. Because Nook seems to always be after your money, some players hate him and deem him as an ‘evil’ or ‘greedy’ character. However, Aya Kyogoku, a director of Animal Crossing: New Leaf, says he thinks people get the wrong idea of Nook. According to Kyogoku, Nook just loves his business. What do you think of Tom Nook? Do you consider him evil? Let us know in the comments below.

“We think he is very misunderstood. He’s just passionate about his business. He’s not like a loan shark. He doesn’t add a handling fee or anything like that. He can wait as long as it takes for you to pay back. He’s not as bad as other people might think he is.”

-Animal Crossing: New Leaf Director Aya Kyogoku

Tailor shop managers Sable and Mabel have appeared in every single Animal Crossing game, and they will also be in the next title in the series, Animal Crossing: New Leaf. For those who don’t know, the brown hedgehog Sable is the older of the two sisters, she always seems to be preoccupied at her desk, and she initially doesn’t come off as a friendly animal. On the other hand, Mabel is more welcoming, always greets customers who enter the shop, and follow them around to see if they are in need of assistance. Animal Crossing: New Leaf launches in June at retail and the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS.sable
