Animal Forest, known as Dōbutsu no Mori in Japan, is a life simulation video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 console. Released in Japan in 2001, the game allowed players to live in a virtual village inhabited by animals, engaging in various activities such as fishing, bug catching, and decorating their homes. Despite its popularity, the game was not officially released in English-speaking regions. However, through the efforts of fans and the ROM hacking community, an English translation of the game has been made available.
