“And when we were workshopping the fish jokes, someone pointed out that, as a joke people were going to see many, many times, generally along with disappointment they didn’t catch something better, maybe it would be better to spin it positive,” Heiret tweeted. He said he originally went with C- for the line, but that changed somewhere during development. September 22nd was established as National Elephant Appreciation Day in 1996 in honor of the largest land animal in the world. Heiret posted a Twitter thread this weekend to explain the joke. New Horizons localization writer Rob Heiret - the guy who wrote the joke - is already tired of it, too. For New Horizons, Nintendo dropped the not again! for a pun, and that’s where the C+ thing came in. It’s been joking about the fish’s prevalence since Animal Crossing: Wild World: “I caught a sea bass! Not again!” This continued into Animal Crossing: City Folk and Animal Crossing: New Leaf, too. Every time I see a large shadow, I get excited maybe it’s a shark! But every time, I’m let down. They spawn everywhere, all day and all year. If you see a large shadow in the water, it’s probably a sea bass. IGN gave the game a 7.5/10, claiming that while the design of the game is sound, they believed it was too much like its predecessors, calling it 'a blending of the GameCube and Nintendo DS. The Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu gave it a score of 33/40, lower than the 37/40 scores of its predecessors, while Nintendo Power gave the game an 8.0. The thing with sea bass in New Horizons - and Animal Crossing, in general - is that they’re common. Animal Crossing: City Folk received mixed reviews. I caught the most fish in the tournament, but everyone was so annoyed with me at the end that they refused to give me the prize. You know the one: “I caught a sea bass! No, wait-it’s at least a C+!” I dreamed I was participating in a real-life fishing tournament - like the ones I participated in as a child - but every time I pulled something up, regardless of species (most often, sunnies) I shouted the line. After Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ first fishing tournament, I started dreaming about sea bass.
