* NewbieBoom: ''New Leaf'' caused a rather noticeable one, introducing a lot more people to the ''Animal Crossing'' series than previous installments had. While ''Wild World'' was already the BreakthroughHit for the series, ''New Leaf'' granted it so much further popularity that it became a flagship IP for Nintendo on par with its better-known franchises.

* BreakthroughHit: While ''Animal Crossing'' never failed to turn a profit for Nintendo, it spent most of its existence up until ''New Leaf'' lingering on the sidelines as a cult hit that never really stood tall against bigger first-party [=IPs=] like ''Mario'' or ''Zelda'' but at the same time was never '''un'''popular enough to warrant abandonment. That all changed with ''New Leaf'', which gave the ''Animal Crossing'' series an unprecedented amount of attention and led to a massive NewbieBoom that resulted in it becoming a mainstream success and a flagship series for Nintendo (the fact that the series had previously been represented in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' via the "Smashville" stage and a large number of trophies-- way more than what ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee'' had-- [[ColbertBump certainly didn't hurt]], either).

** The museum claims ''Stegosaurus'''s plates were covered in thick skin. Preserved stegosaur skin imprints showed that the plates were covered in horn.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Originally, the ''Welcome amiibo'' update for ''New Leaf'' was going to be released with a linking feature to allow it to communicate with ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossingPocketCamp'' to obtain special furniture. But the latter game got stuck in DevelopmentHell, so the update was released with the feature scrapped.
