If there’s one thing Tom Nook is known for in the Animal Crossing series, it’s the debts he collects. Players need to pay off loans to expand their house, which is a mechanic that carries over into the series’ latest entry. But although some may look at Tom Nook as a character primarily interested in money, the developers behind Animal Crossing feels he’s just misunderstood.

New Horizons producer Hisashi Nogami mentioned to The Verge that “Tom Nook is a very caring, really great guy.” Since he’s an adult, “he’s very careful with money.”

Before Rockstar San Diego became what it is today – with acclaimed games like Red Dead Redemption under its belt – the team was previously known as Angel Studios. At one point, an opportunity arose in which Nintendo was almost involved with one of their projects. Shigeru Miyamoto actually stopped by the studio to check out the game, which ended up being scrapped in the end.

Founder Diego Angel spoke about the experience in an interview with Polygon. The game in question was Buggy Boogie, a project for the N64. Not much is known about the project, but it was previously stated by former software director Clinton Keith that it involved “vehicles that would eat other vehicles and adopt their powers and morph.”

As for meeting with Miyamoto, Angel told Polygon:

This has been a pretty big week for Pokemon news. For those that missed it, evidence surfaced of plans for a scrapped version of Pokemon Pink to go alongside Pokemon Yellow. Game Freak may have also considered using cries from the Pokemon anime based on what was found within files of the original titles.

Early English names have also seemingly surfaced for a couple of Pokemon. Cubone and Clefairy were originally known as Orphon and Aria. 

In Cubone’s case, the initial name references the Pokemon’s sad backstory. Clefairy has ties to its signature attack Sing.
