Tips & Tricks had a section in their magazine dedicated to Animal Crossing for the Nintendo GameCube. The series went on for 12 months starting from Issue #93 (November 2002) and ending on Issue #104 (October 2003).

Each month would contain at least 1 "Able Sisters Designs" for the reader and 2 "Town Tunes" that you could enter as the theme of your town, and 1 section titled "Community Calendar". The community calendar would contain all special events for that month as well as giving readers information about collecting rare items, which fish & bugs can be caught, and a small description about a couple of days on the calendar.

Also one of the cooler sections has them talking about animal crossing in "real life" (outside of the GameCube) or Japanese culture, or how things in the game relate to real life treasures or events. However, this section was not in every release of the almanac.


November's Theme is about Feng Shui and Luck.

The sections covered are the following:
-The art of Feng Shui
-Bonus Bells
-Under the Claw


"Nintendo's Animal Crossing for the GameCube is a never-ending, real-time adventure with new events occurring every day. This monthly column showcases our latest discoveries, custom designs and secret tricks!"
-Introductory Quote from Tips & Tricks

I also realize that I forgot to read the "Town Tunes" section. I did include a good enough screenshot near the beginning where I start reading the magazine. I'll try to remember that for next time. BUT I will always be putting these tunes and designs at the end of every video.
