Tom Nook & # 39; s Animal Crossing legacy: A greedy businessman or a generous provider?

amp, Animal, businessman, Crossing, generous, Greedy, Legacy, Nook, provider, Tom


Tom Nook in opposition to the face of the Animal Crossing Franchise. He may not be as revolutionary as The villager or as good as Isabelle, but he gets things done done. It is his company, Nook Inc, that has led the development of this beautiful new island New Horizons, after all. We stand for everything.

Nook is introduced as a passionate and generous businessman who donates most of his profits to charitable organizations, wants to help the player create a beautiful town, and quote to his young nephew. Sometimes Nintendo will represent him in a democratic way. In Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, Nook is literally resting in a tub full of Leaf Tickets. It's funny, confusing and funny.

But the players have never indeed honest Tom Nook. The raccoon you are quoted has been controversial since his time, and it is impossible to stand by it New Horizons.

Age Animal Crossing

Not to bring everything back “to my day,” but it's real Animal Crossing you might be ugly. It turns out, of course, that famous Mr. Resetti, an angry molecule would come out if a player tries to get their game back (or simply forget to save.). The kids who ignored Resetti are very angry with him, and he will reach the point where he will yell at the player and force them to type statements such as "I am a fool."

Random animals around the island can get annoyed and tell the player, especially if the player offends them by constantly interacting with them or by shoving them (which is fine).

Back in my day, not one was SO good.

Tom Nook never participated in the worst. He never openly insults the player or intimidates him. Instead, he is like a business. The new player is given an apron to wear, a list of tasks to complete, and a large loan to pay. Once you have paid off your first loan, it gives you another one. The loan is free of interest, and Nook upgrades your house before taking out a loan, and yet has made some fans salty.

Nook is fascinated by the whole process, but that's almost as bad. As a kid, it turned out that Tom Nook was forcing me to work, and he didn't the need to be cruel about it, because he was almighty. Mr Resetti was a real beast, of course, but perhaps Nook had a leash.

I'm not alone in this description. The Crossing Animals wiki He notes that "at the 2003 Nintendo Power Awards, Tom Nook was named one of Nintendo's top performers, though he was never a poor person." In 2008, a KituAwful user named Chewbot created Litter & # 39; s Play called Let & # 39; s Play The Awesome Secret of Crossing Animals, where the presence of Tom Nook's game is interpreted as a controlling force whose danger is overshadowed by a small veil of social good.

Before I even walk out the door, Tom Nook looks at me like a cross between a used car salesman, a lawyer and a German shephard, even though he's dressed like a raccoon on a goddess's plate. (…) That son of a band played last and within seconds I put on a work uniform and put big bags of fertilizer on the door.

It was after I started planting my third ingredient the panic it put in. There is something wrong here. Why are there no other camps? Why did Nook say "everyone who works here is wearing a uniform & # 39; no other employees? Was he talking about the past? If I work for Tom now, why can't I sign any books?

The redemption of Mr. Nook

Tom Nook who is portrayed as a dictator in charge of the labor camp was probably noticed by Nintendo. In response, Tom Nook has found two other nephews, Timmy and Tommy. The actor has been able to talk to him a lot in subsequent games, where he has revealed how much he loves his family, and how much he loves to give away his immense wealth to orphanages.

This redemption has been extended to game products. He does not give the player a task to complete. Instead, they can wander around the city and focus on making money from their time. He is the new redeemed Tom Nook.

Tom Nook also comes with a great support rope. Compared to the zealous Isabelle, or Lyle the otter (who sneaks directly into your house while you sleep counting all your belongings), Nook experiences a great deal of fun and adventure.

Has this strategy worked? Is Tom Nook now considered a misfit, trusted by sportsmen?

Well, no, not really.

A controversial tanuki

Tom Nook is still involved in controversy and debate. Some fans totally buy into his redeeming arc. Or Chrissy Teigen to explain them as someone loyal to Tom Nook. But Nokok has been called up years ago, especially with the establishment New Horizons, as number of colonies invading the island and complete it with his own community.

Even the Bells, Leaf Tickets, and the new Nook Miles are considered suspicious. Are these real investments, or the things Nook did to maximize his economic power over citizens?

It is easy to get into the heated arguments that Tom Nook is dirty capitalist or a good small business owner who helps low-income employers. Called Tom Nook anarcho-capitalist, a painter, and great evil. To the best of his ability, Nook is shown to be suffering from a late-life problem.

It is at this record level that Nintendo games usually do not integrate. Even characters who are guaranteed to be killers and dictators, such as The Legend of Zelda & # 39; s Ganon, enjoy the most resilient art of beloved fans. Tom Nook has never killed anyone (as far as we know!), But the public has treated him worse than your average Bowser character.

The will New Horizons finally give Tom Nook the credit he deserves? Probably not. Already, fans are suggesting that Tom Nook should not be in control of the economy on the whole island. Tom Nook's new wave of hate can be overflowing New HorizonsDeliverance.

Nintendo games are fun, confusing, and controversial. It's exciting to see Tom Nook's meta narrative emerge during this period of franchise life. People are willing to compromise on their interpretation of Nook, and that is the record level that other entities under the Nintendo umbrella simply can't put together. The end result adds a little spice to New Horizons, and I'm excited to see how the new game transforms the Tom Nook zeitgeist.
