Series figure Mr. Resetti will have to find new work in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons project lead Aya Kyogoku has confirmed via an interview with Mashable that series staple Mr. Resetti has been fired from his traditional Animal Crossing role and will be assigned new duties in New Horizons.
For those who don't know, Mr. Resetti first appeared in the original Animal Crossing for GameCube. Since then, his main job has been to lecture players who reset the game without saving first. Players who fail to save before resetting multiple times would receive increasingly longer speeches from Resetti that could not be skipped until they were completed. Some of those lectures would even require players to repeat certain phrases.
So why won't Resetti retain his position in New Horizons? Well, it seems that evolving technology has rendered his job irrelevant.

I have a bit of a confession to make: I have a little gaming addiction problem. I recently got over a long dependency on the horrible wonderful Nimble Bits' game "Tiny Tower" - something that was spurred on by Multiplayer's former Editor. Everyday I would open up "Tiny Tower" multiple times, and build another floor, try and get everyone their dream jobs, and then build another floor, until I ran out of things to do. That's right, I effectively beat "Tiny Tower" - that is, until they updated it.
A few days later I had "beaten" it again - until the next update. This happened more than a few times. I would keep going back every day to collect coins and Tower Bux to build more floors, until I topped out at 179 floors, and that's when I had to stop.

One of the signature features of the Animal Crossing series, since its original release back on the N64 in Japan in 2001, has been its cast of colorful characters. Over the franchise's handful of releases there have been hundreds of friendly villagers for players to get to know. With each animal having its own unique look and personality players are bound to have their favorites. Whether it’s the talented musician, K.K. Slider, the humorous Kapp'n, or the polarizing Resetti, there's always someone that appears in your town that's refreshing to see. We recently had a chance to ask some of the developers of the latest "Animal Crossing" game, "New Leaf," who their favorites were, both from the franchise and from the latest game, some of their answers may surprise you.
