Nook wants his fucking money, bitches

Animal Crossing should be more of a combination of The Sims/Viva Pinata/Harvest Moon.

At Nintendo headquarters:

Gee, guys! The revealing of Animal Crossing: City Folk managed to actually excite some gamers! How do we fix that? Oh, by selling the much-advertised part of the game separately! What's that? That's stupid? Sorry, I cant hear you over my piles of money.

[DackAttac]

Phew. I was afraid I might actually have to buy this fucking game to get to the peripheral.

The closed-door press conference hasn't shown any new announcements yet, but there are some new details on AC, including what appears to be the ability to transfer your character & items from Wild World to City Folk.

Thank god. Also, Pikmin Wii, anyone?

Actually, no. You can use your DS to take your City Folk character to a friend's house and visit their City Folk game physically. Nothing was said about connecting with Wild World. Which sucks.

That's why I said "appears". It's a running blog, so its natural to get a few things mixed up while listening and typing, especially when using a translator.

Take the following with a grain of salt:

- Halloween is returning from the original Gamecube release, as is the Jingle character for the winter holiday season. New is Easter, and a Carnival with minigames.
- WiiConnect 24 will feed players new items and surprises.
- New to 'City Folk is a city theater that puts on comedy skits.
- You can visit your friend's city without them needing to be there.
- The Able Sisters will now allow you to decorate the front, back, and sleeves of your shirts.
- 'City Folk interacts with the Photo Channel so that you can send pictures to your friends or save them to a SD card.
- If you have a friend that leaves the town, the connection will disappear for everyone...just like Wild World
- Animal Crossing: Wild World fans can transport their character to City Folk, and gamers can also transport their collections. All this requires is a visit to Tom Nook in the Wii version.
- Players without WiFi can take their City Folk character data with them on their Nintendo DS to visit a friend's town.
- Brand new (i.e. not hidden on the disc) downloadable content is being developed for the game.
- Bummer, classic Nintendo games will not be returning.
- City Folk will not interact with the Wii Forecast Channel, as has been speculated.
- Gamers within the southern hemisphere will see their seasons inverted from gamers in the northern hemisphere.

Also the City has a new clothing shop owned by that bitchy Giraffe, Gracie.

Now out with Wii Speak bundle to boot. Also option to import DS date into Wii version as well.

Why is this game popular? I honestly don't know.

It has a lot of "Sidequests" glued together, you cant die or get really hurt. It a great way to waste time and pretend you have friends. And those are all The reasons I can think off right now...

Some people don't need or want a driving plot to enjoy their games. go fig.
