(8-bit notes)
- Ooh.
Ooh.
Ooh!
Wow!
Oh wow!
Wow! Oh!
Oh! Ooh!
Aah! Oh.
Oh wow.
(sighing) Got some decisions to make.
(tropical music)
- [Narrator] Ah, Animal Crossing.
The perfect escape from the dreariness
of everyday life.
(halting record scratch)
But what good is an island paradise,
if you have no one to share it with?
Today we're giving our bachelor Ify Nwadiwe
two Nook Miles tickets to two beautiful
islands, each designed by two different bachelorettes.
After a tour of each island, Ify will select
one lucky lady to go on a date with him
back on his own island of Gumpa Land.
Will love succeed like a perfectly timed fishing cast?
Or will it burst like a balloon over moving water?
(electronic hip-hop beats)
- Oooh, I like this.
This is a nice garden, with a fountain.
Color coordination...
I don't think I've reached that level.
Oh oh oooh!
Got the outdoor jam sesh.
Yeah!
All the trees are segmented specifically.
I was like 'oh wow.'
Oooh, hold up, secret pathway.
Oh wow!
Look at this. I love it!
Oooh, okay.
It's easy to tell you're a big fan of music.
(sighs)
Ooh, (laughing) okay!
Building beats in here.
Ooh.
A little coffee station.
I love me some coffee so I'm a big fan.
Ooh, this is such a cozy room!
I see yourself in this island.
You got the music, great style, color coordination.
Better than my island. (laughing)
When y'all see my island, y'all gonna be like,
"Why is this guy even starting to try and judge?"
But you know.
I keep it simple.
(bouncy drum-and-bass music)
I mean right out the gate.
Just...
Wowzerino.
Ooh.
Got a little juice bar!
Okay, (laughing) this is intense!
Oh wow.
I feel like I'm not worthy.
Wow.
You gotta hit that, that clappage. (laughing)
Wooow.
Oh! There's a lil' turt!
Whoa!
Me lovin' up on this tort, right there.
Oooh.
Oh, got the gold plaque too.
Oh wow.
Oooh.
Got a little vaporwave action in here.
I'm kinda speechless.
Oooh.
Wow. Wow.
Wow.
I feel like...
I have ascended.
Oh, and then there's more.
Don't wanna crush the flowers.
Oooh.
She has a theme park.
Oh, and some gifts!
OOH!
She has a giant kaiju.
I have a giant kaiju.
I don't know, is this symbolism?
Am I the kaiju and her the teddy bear?
♪ You're gonna love me ♪
♪ Yeah, don't let me down ♪
- [Ify] Both of them had amazing coordination
with the colors, and like thought out choices.
Like, my island doesn't even have that yet.
If I had to choose...
Which is the hardest thing to do,
because both islands are better than mine.
They both seem like amazing people,
and I'd love an Animal Crossing date with them.
But...
The one I'd have to choose, would have to be Rianna's,
because she has a kaiju and that was
an auto-win in my head, that I never said.
That if they had a kaiju or a Metal Hero,
you automatically win my heart, my rose, my shell.
It really felt like going through
each and every layer of, not only
her island but even inside her home,
I was like learning more about her
personal style and touch and care.
It's amazing, honestly it's inspiring me
to get to work on my island.
(upbeat acoustic guitar and orchestra)
- [Rianna] Hello! I'm doing okay.
How are you?
- Good, good!
And you know, I'm feeling good.
I already am embarrassed of what you're gonna see
in my island, cause it's not as good.
- The Iron-Blooded Orphans' hat is really
what made me want to continue the date so...
- (laughing) This is Gumpa Land.
This is our national flag.
Then we got Metal Hero and see, I have a kaiju
but mine's blue.
So if you come over here, you'll see,
everything, pretty basic.
Got a flag.
Got a butterfly.
- [Rianna] (laughing)
- But you know, there are little design notes.
Like making the Nook's Cranny a beachside front, you know?
- [Rianna] That's nice, nice beachside town, the whole town.
So what's you're natural fruit?
- My natural fruit is the orange.
- And you have Tangy, that's really good.
And Merengue!
Ah!
- [Ify] (laughing)
- That's really lucky.
- (laughing)
- I'm so jealous right now.
- Oh, hold on, let me try and get this beetle real quick.
Your soul is mine!
All right...
- [Rianna] Did you get it?
- No, I didn't.
- Okay, you got the vagina couch, that's nice.
- (laughing)
Much like my own home, my living room
is filled with toys and video games.
So you know, I wanted to keep that going.
But this, this is the dream portion in here.
Got a home gym.
- [Rianna] This is a pretty good gym, dang.
Oh, and you're swole.
- Keep all my games, on the board.
- Just got Ring Fit and it kicked my ass,
and I was like boy howdy.
- Ring Fit is not a joke.
I don't have a tub yet, so you know, we got
a classic tub going.
- Yeah, but you actually have a toilet,
whereas my bathroom is aesthetics only.
Everyone makes the right room their kitchen.
- Oh yeah, you're completely right.
- A chocolate kitchen will be cute.
- I feel like in the real world,
if you were on a date and you went to someone's
fridge and it was empty, that'd be a red flag.
But, you know...
- [Rianna] No, in there when I opened it, it said
Mad Max costume, so that's another plus.
- [Ify] Oh really? (laughing)
- That's cute.
- Oh wow, okay.
This is the best.
That is Super Sentai Hero.
But yeah, as you can see, your island is
way, way better than...
- [Rianna] Aww, very lovely of you to say.
It was the depression.
- [Ify] (laughing)
- [Rianna] Me not working for like two months,
and I got Animal Crossing right when it started.
Oooh boy.
This was a lot of fun.
- Yeah!
I know this was a good time.
They definitely need like a hug emote.
- [Rianna] Yeah, I had a lot of fun.
I hope you can come back to Lady World sometime soon!
- Yeah, I'm down!
I'll see you later!
- Bye!
- The date was a lot of fun.
I liked talking to Ify, I think he's a really cool guy!
Pretty cute!
His island kinda sucks, but that's fine.
I mean, not everyone has way too much time on their hands.
So maybe that's more of a point in his favor.
That he isn't like me, who just spent all this time
on their island.
But, honestly I would love to, Animal Crossing or not,
probably go on a date.
I would be super happy to do it again anytime.
