Animal Crossing: City Folk overview

I wrote this overview for The Nintendo Pipeline, thought I'd post it here, because I did promise an overview once it was revealed.

There were some announcements today as E3, but few stood out as much as Animal Crossing: City Folk for the Wii, apparently coming sometime this year.

Animal Crossing: City Folk, as the name implies, adds a City to normal gamplay, where you can go to see The HRA Building, Gracie's fashion studio, among other things.

AC: CF brings back some of the classic holidays we missed in Wild World, such as Halloween, and brings back an updated version. Other holidays include Bunny Day, where you dig up eggs. And of course, New Years was also shown.

A new element of online play, Wii Speak, was introduced. Wii Speak is a speaker that goes on top of your sensor bar, rather than a headset, which lets everyone in the room talk into it.

On the subject of homes, there probably is a home for every playe, like there was in the origianl. My inference coming from the bedroom only has roomfor one bed. From what I've seen, the size/shape of the homes has stayed the same, and that probably means no backyards. Or, at least none in the house they showcased.

Sadly, there was no glimpse of Tom Nook's store in the showcase, but there was a brief glance into the Able Sister's, which sadly hasn't changed. Also, you can buy masks that look like your Mii.

You can look forward to Animal Crossing: City Folk sometime this year.

E3 2008 - Soon!

So, E3 20008 starts Tuesday. I already made my predictions, but I'm sure there will be more. Like a new peripheral (Balance Board, Wii Wheel, Zapper) or something. A peripheral would be cool, if they could think of anymore. Plus, some new Wii channels would be nice, if they have anymore ideas. Right now, I'm even hoping for a few channel update, hopefully for the Mii Channel. WE NEED MORE OPTIONS. Even Gameboy being added to the VC would work.... actually, that'd be a pretty cool idea.

Maybe a Mario game, some Mario sports games, whatever. They know we really want Paper Mario 3. Some people, including myself, would like to see a Luigi's Mansion 2, or even a longer remake with Wii controls. Paper Mario DS would be pretty neat, too. Or if neither Paper Mario happens, maybe Paper Luigi? A whole new story would be nice, or even the Waffle Kingdom story would sort-of work. Also, Super Mario Sunshine with motion controls would work. There was a mini-game of it in Wario Ware Smooth Moves, and that worked out pretty well. Or a Super Mario Sunshine 2 (Like, not called Sunshine, but it would have FLUDD in it.) work be nice, also.

I'm also hoping for a Zelda title, whether it be DS or Wii, but Wii preferably.

Some news on Professor Layton 2 may be announced- we already know it's coming, but a release date would be nice.

It has been confirmed that Animal Crossing Wii will be announced, so 'll worry about that after it is.

Wow. Longest article I've ever written.

Rambling Over.

Another Animal Crossing Wii idea

Yay, another Animal Crossing Wii idea.

Museum Gift Shop

So, what if the museum had a gift shop? You would be able to buy things exclusive to the museum. Posters of dinosaurs, fish, and more! It wouldn't be just posters, though. Also shirts and some exclusive furniture!

More Animal Crossing Wii Ideas

1. Hey! Look! Up there!

In Animal Crossing DS, you were able to see the sky. So, why not have a way to just turn the camera up to look at the sky?

2. Look! Up there! On the ceiling!

You can have lights on the floor in the first 2 Animal Crossing games. Yay. But now, what we need are lights that hang on the ceiling!

Will add more as I think of them.

Animal Crossing Wii Ideas

Yay, 10th post. So, here are some ideas for Animal Crossing Wii.

1. More in depth Neighbors.

It would be pretty cool if some of your neighbors were rich, and could upgrade their house. I'd also like to see neighbors shopping. Also, animals need to have different things to talk about, instead of all repeating the same things.

2. Mr. Resetti's House/Animal Island

In the Japanese versions of Animal Crossing, you could go to Mr. Resetti's house. but English? Nooooooo.

Also, Animal Island was a cool feature in the GCN version, so why not bring it back?

3. Visit Other Towns

In my Pokemon Ranch, people programmed into the game will come on random days to ask you if you want to come to their Ranch. So, why can't characters come to your town and invite you to their town?

More as I think of them.
