Reddit user, Infiniti_Bluecame across a simple statement in their game after Rescue Services saved them from an unfortunate decorating incident. The Rescue Service Operator commented, “So you have 'autosave', huh? Meaning you can't reset things here.” Although Infiniti_Blue was not familiar with what the statement referred to, Many commenters on the thread immediately recognized the reference to grumpy Mr..
What some may not know or remember, however, is that Mr. Resetti is currently the operator of Rescue Services in New Horizonsapparently having to change jobs with the addition of the auto-save feature, eliminating the need for his role.

Resetti makes a small return in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Animal Crossing grumpy sidekick
The grumpy Mr. Resetti is a long-standing character in the Animal crossing series from the beginning, and although his work was deemed unnecessary with the new technology in Animal Crossing: New Horizonsfortunately he was not removed from the game completely. The big brown mole used to be tasked with yelling at a player when they restarted the game or closed without saving, hence its name “Resetti” sounds so similar to “Reset”. Mr. Resetti was fired with the inclusion of the autosave function in New Horizonsbut managed to find work on other behind-the-scenes features.
In the comments to Infiniti_Blue's post, some reflect on the nostalgia for Mr. Resetti, as well as Pete, Pelly, Phyllis and other characters from the older titles. Fortunately, many nostalgic characters continue to make small appearances in the DLC or at the Brewster coffee shop.
