The latest Animal Crossing: New Horizons crossover creation comes from the official Jersey Shore Twitter account. In the video posted, villagers recreate a memorable scene from the television show inside the game.
In the three months that this game has been available, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has inspired many incredible fan creations as players transform their favorite moments from other franchises inside the game. From Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away to The Shining, Animal Crossing players have created a trend on social media by remaking memories from different movies, shows, and even other games. Jersey Shore is no different, and the show’s official Twitter account decided to get in on the fun with their very own Animal Crossing remake.
The official Jersey Shore Twitter account posted a video of recreating a scene from the show inside Animal Crossing. The video is overlaid with audio from an episode in the 2018 line up of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, which the Animal Crossing scene aims to remake. Villagers have been casted to play the parts of Vinny, Ronnie, and Paulie, while the playable character performs the part of Mike.
The scene recreates the “bromitment” of Ronnie and Paulie D’s bromance at a wedding chapel in Las Vegas. As the two friends exchange their vows in front of an Elvis impersonator, Mike eats the cake that came with the ceremony. In the Animal Crossing recreation, the player character Mike sits in the pews while he watches the ceremony and snacks on the cake. The Animal Crossing emotes also work themselves into the scene that flows well with what’s happening in the video.
The Animal Crossing remake stays true to the original scene and is sure to entertain fans of both franchises. The many tie-ins to different media representations speaks to Animal Crossing’s popularity which has spiked dramatically since its release. Some of that popularity can be attributed to the coronavirus and how Animal Crossing: New Horizons allows players to connect over long distances, but it also speaks to the quality and flexibility of the game that allows all of these fan recreations to be possible.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now on Nintendo Switch.
