I need new animal crossing players to know about this man who was laid off between New Leaf and New Horizons

This is Resetti (Mr. Resetti if you’re nasty) who used to come and YELL AT YOU if you turned off your game without saving it. See there was no auto save in previous game, so if your console got turned off, you lost all your progress. And if you ended the game without first saving, when you started the game the next time, and exited your house, Resetti would be there. 

This dude would burrow from underground in front of your door and you’d have to listen to his lecture of the importance of saving before you could proceed with anything. You had no choice but to sit through this. And the more times you did it, the angrier Resetti would get! 

And in the gamecube version, if you reset your game too many times, he’d eventually get to a point where he just SNAPS. He will at some point make you type out a message saying that you are a bad person or that he is a great person or something along those lines (it changes). If you KEEP doing it, he will be yell at you that he’s had enough and that since you love resetting so much, he’s going to reset your WHOLE TOWN. 

AND THEN HE TURNS OFF YOUR GAMECUBE

Or, it really really looks like he turns off your game cube. The screen remains black for several seconds and then the game returns and Resetti is all “GOTCHA” but it is HORRIFYING to experience that for the first time, because it genuinely appears that the gamecube turned off. 

I highly suggest watching video of it because its one of the great, truly wild things that animal crossing brings. Jump to about the 11 minute mark to see the mole truly SNAP.

From what I understand, he IS in New Horizons, but you likely won’t encounter him unless you use the rescue services, so just remember Mr. Resetti and his brother Don who lost their jobs and are just trying to make ends meet, I assume. 

I hated/was terrified of this mole as a child but I do wish that he would yell at me if I reset my game (he won’t I checked) in New Horizons.
