Daily Easter Egg #11: Animal Crossing's Alien TV Channel

That's not Gulliver...

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, various shows or "channels" will appear on T.V.s in the game at certain times. If you watch T.V. at 3:33AM on Sundays and Mondays, an alien message will appear on screen. It only lasts a minute, and will revert back to static at 3:34. If you want to see the strangeness for yourself, click here.
This isn't the first occurrence of aliens within the Animal Crossing universe. In both Wild World and City Folk, Gulliver would ride around in a UFO and appear in the player's town.

Daily Easter Egg #2: Totaka's Song

This simple song can be found in many games that Kazumi Totaka composed music for

The first time I heard this little tune was in the original Animal Crossing. It appears as K.K. Song in every Animal Crossing title, and everyone's favorite musical doggie K.K. Slider (or Totakeke, his Japanese name) is named after Kazumi Totaka himself. As it turns out, this song doesn't only appear in Animal Crossing games, but in a slew of other titles as well. It can be heard in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Mario Paint, Luigi's Mansion, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Pikmin 2, Yoshi's Story, and in many other games too. It is still being determined whether or not this song is in more recent titles Totaka has worked on. Usually the song is pretty well hidden within certain areas of the game and will only play after a certain amount of time has passed.
