Animal Crossing: City Folk

"City Folk certainly looks like the Animal Crossing we all know and love, but perhaps a bit too much so. The game seems to carry over a lot of the DS version's great aspects, but also a few of its shortcomings."

When you get bored of life at home, you can hop onto a bus and go downtown, hence the "City Folk" moniker. While in the city, you can go to various shops to buy furniture, clothing and other accessories.

"The most obvious addition to Animal Crossing: City Folk is a separate town square area away from the main village (the titular city, we presume), where you’ll find a small selection of attractions."

"As budding designers, we love being able to dress up our characters and then take a photo of them to send to someone else or to put on an SD card."

"IGN Wii: How is work on Animal Crossing for Wii progressing and what can we expect from the final product? Katsuya Eguchi: Right now we're currently considering our options in terms of what we can do with the various features of the controller and through WiiConnect24. With regard to the controller, basically it could become potentially your axe, your shovel and your fishing rod. You can imagine what can happen there. Again, we don't know if this will happen for sure because it's kind of a trial and error process. With regard to WiiConnect24, you could have someone visit your town even when you weren't actively playing and maybe leave you a letter or a gift. Also, through Wi-Fi Connection, players could play simultaneously."
