For instance, in the original Animal Crossing title, a bunch of villagers would send the player Valentine’s Day letters along with gifts based on their mutual friendship level. Meanwhile, in City Folk, players witnessed a brand new mechanic. Brewster would sell hot chocolate as a Valentine’s Day special instead of the regular coffee at his famous Roost Cafe.
Finally, these features carried over to New Leaf along with some additional ones. Besides experiencing the aforementioned Valentine’s Day activities, players would receive a letter from Isabelle with a chocolate cake and a present from their mom.
