Prima Games is a company that makes official strategy guides for video games, having made hundreds over the years. It is a division of Random House. They have made a guide for Animal Crossing, Animal Crossing: City Folk, and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. However, they have made many mistakes and errors, making some of the information in the guides false. One such example was in the City Folk guide, where it was said that the Walking Leaf can be found on trees, when it is really found on the ground.
On November 8, 2018, publisher DK announced that the Prima Games imprint would be discontinued in spring 2019 due to a large decline in strategy guide sales[1].
Mistakes
In Prima's Guide to Animal Crossing
- Farley is not listed in this guide.
- A character named Mr. Racketti is listed alongside Mr. Resetti; this is presumably meant to be Don Resetti.
- Lists a Hoe as being a tool in the game.
In Prima's Guide to Animal Crossing: City Folk
- The bug guide states that centipedes are found on flowers. In reality, centipedes are found by hitting rocks with a shovel.
- It says if the player donates 10,000 Bells to their account, they get a Box of Tissues instead of a Shopping Card.
- If the player donates 1,000,000 Bells to their bank account, they get a Piggy Bank. However, this is wrong because they get the Piggy Bank when they reach 10,000,000 Bells.
- The Model Houses in this guide are mislisted as Spotlight items.
- The New Year's Shirt 2011 shows the picture of a Frog Shirt.
- The section on crossbreeding flowers are wrong.
In Prima's Guide to Animal Crossing: New Leaf
- The tools guide states that the Silver axe is unbreakable. However, it will break after some use.
- Some of the villagers' Coffee preferences are incorrect.
- Some clothing genres are incorrect.
- The guide mentions that Kicks is a fox, but he is actually a skunk.
- A few images are wrong.
- Certain selling prices and Happy Home Academy themes are also incorrect. For example, the throne is listed to cost 8,000 Bells, but it actually costs 800,000.
- To hybrid the Blue Rose, it says you simply need a Purple and Black rose, where you actually need two Red roses that were spawned by breeding an Orange and Purple rose.
- Some Bug, Fish, and Deep Sea Creatures have incorrect months & times.
- Most furniture bell value is incorrect.
