Nintendo unveils Animal Crossing Wii News
Wii News by Dan Pearson
Nintendo has just unveiled Animal Crossing: City Folk for Wii and said it will be released before the end of the year.
Creator Katsuya Eguchi lifted the lid on what looked like business as usual for the series, with lots of collecting at the core of the game. But the big improvement is to be made is in interaction and communication.
The biggest is WiiSpeak, a microphone that sits on top of the sensor bar and lets you - or anyone in the room - talk to other people over the internet.
We also saw an on-screen keyboard and were told you can write letters and attach pictures to send to the Wii Message Board, mobile phones, PCs and other towns.
Other details were vague, but fans of the previous outings should be excited. Look out for more details soon.

Hmmm, as much as I enjoy animal crossing, I think its time has been and gone.
The only way this could be interesting enough to buy is if it had some way to move stuff over from the DS to the Wii and also let you pay visits to a friends town over the internets. Otherwise, its a pass for me. |

"loved the GC version, loved the DS version even more, but not sure if i can be bothered doing it all again... "
Having it on the DS made it more accesable, it held my attention a lot longer than the Gamecube, simply because it was easier to play every day. Plugging in my Gamecube, finding the disc and loading it up, just to play for ten minutes because a waste of time, eventually, and I fear the same thing will happen with the Wii version here. I'm also disappointed at just how similar this looks. The city looks great, could the whole game not have taken place in the city environment instead this time, it at least would have been different. And I'm very pleased to see they've brought back the holidays. But their main focus here seems to be multiplayer, and from what I can tell, there's still absoloutely nothing to do. I remember inviting a friend to my village in the DS version, and once we did that, we kind of ran around for a bit, looked at each other and just said "now what?" There needs to be mini games, activities or something to keep it interesting, but from what they showed, it just looks the same. And fishing with a few friends there is not as exciting as they made it out to be. |

The highlight of a disappointing conference. Really looks like they've beefed things up, and finally broken their duck on voice chat to boot. This'll be a sure purchase for me...

There's a video here if anyone's interested. I'd be more excited if it didn't look so similar to the DS version...

Sadly one of only two games I'll be buying this year from what was shown today. Where was Starfox, Pikmin or Kirby? I was also confident on seeing a Zelda for 2009.

Like some of the above, I loved the GC version but it was a chore playing on the home console every/every other day. The portability of the DS made it the only thing I played for about 3 months, when the novelty inevitably wore off. I can see the Wii version being a hit but I've already put my heart and soul into the series.
Having said that, if I hear of my favourite animals re-appearing (Bones, Chevre), I'll be first in the queue!

bunglebonce: Ah, Chevre...I spent weeks cultivating my friendship with her, only for the flighty goat to abandon me unannounced and move in to my best friend's town. Harsh, harsh life lesson, it was. :(
Now, I'm all about Nan. :) Nan for AC: City Folk! Or I'll cry! |
