Thanks for sharing! I'll need to dive into Minecraft at some point to try and check out the official Simpsons content (somehow), so will give this a go too

If there's one thing you can say about Acclaim, it's that they were very ahead of their time

Yeah that's the most sensible explanation. Lisa's saxophone is pretty big though, sure they could have made it work with a bigger bag.

I think the Fortnite version is based on the Season 14 version but with colours closer to the Arcade game and a smaller bag.

It's such a minor detail but it bothers me that I can't find an explanation. The changes in Fortnite must come from somewhere right? Not just an artist dropping the ball?

The Simpsons vacuum doesn't have a consistent design but there's an updated version of the red vacuum in Season 14. This has both the handle at the top, the black handle on the front and the light on top, but there are white strips and the bag is normal size.

The black handle could come from a design from the older episodes like in Moaning Lisa, where Bart is using a red vacuum. I would guess this is were the original dev team for the Simpsons Arcade got the design from.

I can't help but shake the feeling that they've used a different reference point for this vacuum than the in-game one for the Simpsons Arcade.

If they took the time to recreate it and used the game as reference, then why would it have so many differences?

Keeping up with Fortnite really feels like a job.

The video is going well though, got all the footage of the island and done the write up. Looking to be another 2 hours video depending on the rest of the seasonal updates.
