Dōbutsu no Mori (Game)

Animal Forest is the name of the Animal Crossing game for the N64 released only in Japan. This game was translated and ported to the GameCube because the Nintendo 64 was at the end of its life, and because of that sales would have been affected if it were released on the Nintendo 64.
