E3 &quote;08: Animal Crossing City Folk Announced

The hot prediction of Animal Crossing Wii is no longer just a prediction. While the familiar town will be back in, you'll also have a new city section to explore mainly revolving around shopping and communication. While it's going to be coming with full WiiConnect24 support the biggest announcement is WiiSpeak, full voice chat in the game. WiiSpeak will be pushed more as a room microphone rather then a single person headset, aimed and getting large groups of players communicating.

Update: After going through the lovely fact sheets Nintendo has sent us, a few more key details and additions have come to light.

-Mii's will play a part with character make overs, no more boardline bobble heads!

-Days and seasons will all be passing in real time, and there will be a greater focus on various holidays.

-You will be able to transplant existing animal characters from town to town, it's not known if this will be some kind of migration option or something that will just happen on the fly.

What do you want? How can they improve? This IS Animal Crossing. It will never look any different. As long as the graphics are net, clean, sharp and maintain a good frame rate then who cares?
You said "why bother improving the game" - that doesnt mean changing the graphics.



How can they improve it? I dunno make it not look like an N64 game? Round out the player models, cel shading, make it look more like a cartoon? Bit of creativity can go a long way which the AC team is clearly lacking and it shows through the presentation of the game and the clear lack of anything substantial being added to the experiance for people who have played the other 2 games.

No real new gameplay features, new fish, furniture etc is not new gameplay features already had similer experiance with the first games.

4 player online? uhh....how about increase it to 8 maybe?

Allow players to visit your town even when your wii is off (although active through wiiconnect24) was an obvious feature and somthing alot of people were wanting, nah sounds like to much work don't bother.

Improving the game means more features. More fish, more bugs, more furniture, more shops, more holidays, more clothes, more things to do, more animals. More things to create, customise. The DS made everybody share a house where as its better when everybody has their own. So its also about fixing things like that.

Changing the graphics will not determine whether or not this game is a hit.

You know, thats the first time ever somebody has mentioned graphics when talking about the Wii
Who the hell cares about the graphics? Do you think Im not going to play it because it doesnt look like GTA IV?




I've never been bothered by the graphics in most wii games but I expected big thing from animal crossing.

GC animal crosing was essentially a port of the N64 one so it was understandable.
DS well it has similer power to an N64 so again understandable.
