so, some context:

during the video his grandson posted of her showing off her town, you can see that her in-game name is Audie:

I wonder if the name is the same in Japanese (if only the localization team cared or the developers too)

Well, Audie isn't a name you see everyday. Seems like a bit of a coincidence otherwise.

In future, if the topic has a misspelling, you can report the OP and request a correction; a mod on the scene can make the change for you. :)

The first Jumanji movie was based of the SNES game with the same name.

Awww, this is wonderful to hear. I hope she got a Switch and is super excited for New Horizons.

Good on NoA for doing this. That's so sweet!

Can't remember but her grandson said people loved the video so much they sent funds so that she can get a Switch and New Horizons. Everything about this is just the sweetest.

I like that they chose a wolf of all things to represent the grandmother. Nice nod to little red riding hood.

Likely not just a coincidence either, NoA has been doing this a lot recently. Pokemon Let's Go had trainers named after YouTubers, for example.

This seems to be a only NoA thing.
She is called Monica in spanish for example (a name that i prefer, even if the sentiment of the Audie name is cool).

Good for noa and her though.

EDIT
Oops just watched the video. She says she doesnt like sassy characters. Maybe it was not a good idea to use her name in one of the most sassy characters that only wants to be a superstar lol
