The game is releasing first in America (and Japan later in the week) so I'm surprised at the lack of an English one. Maybe they still have to translate it and they didn't wait on the JPN end.

Don't we tend to get Iwata Asks for the game a bit after the game's release? The only one I can remember exactly is Brawl, and I know that came out before the game's US release, but I can't remember for any other games.

I remember when I saw the first playable of Animal Crossing Wii. I said, "Hey! This is really similar to Animal Crossing DS! What did you guys do with the money I gave you?"

Katsuya Eguchi:
(laughs)

Iwata:
At first I was really upset, but then I realized it would make a lot of money anyway.

Katsuya Eguchi:

It's called a freaking joke, and a hilarious one at that I must say.

EDIT: Don't you just love GAF? Three replies almost instantly all saying the same thing in three different ways :lol

Oh jeez, it was a joke? I was laughing anyway...

I was expecting it to get quoted all over the place, and now I'm hoping people that don't read much still quote it around anyway.

Because the first game was based on 64DD tech, and this one seems to be using DS tech.

Show me one texture or character/object in this game that doesn't look doable on the Nintendo DS.

By standing still. The world moved forwards, they stood still, so in effect, they ended up going backwards! :)

Edit: Also, the loading noted above and not sure what is meant by cliffs.

Cliffs. Obvious loading.

Also, moving things away from the town into the city for the purpose of making the city area seem more important.

... How are cliffs going backwards?

Well I'm kinda doing a "recurring characters" section with descriptions and pics, which is taking some time....

But I suppose I could add it later. I'll go pony up some screenshots and have it ready in an hour or so. :D

Please forgive the delay~

Hey guys, I need your help. I am reviewing the game and I can't find anyone to play online with (gotta love the friend codes!).

Anyway, if you happen to have the game, please post here or PM me so we can get together and play.

Thanks!

Oh, and a Q to those that have the game: I've read you can have six players now (as in, six player-made houses / save files). Is this true?

So, what we've learnt today, is that it isn't just like Animal Crossing DS as they "decided to forget the previous titles and start in a flat state." Mysteriously that flat state seems identical, and that the big feature is making paths when you walk.

GOTY.

I guess that's an unpopular opinion, but I never liked how they served no purpose in the original AC, and instead just made it more awkward to get around your town if you didn't reset and reset until you got a "good" layout.

If you could find caves in the cliffs like in that AC animated movie, that would change my mind. But instead they just serve as yet another blockade in your town when trying to go from A to B.

Is it just me or does the game look worse than the GCN version? I don't want to be a troll, but it looks like a cheap cash-in.

I think it gives the town a much needed sense of variety. Besides, in Animal Crossing you're not supposed to be running around like a crazy person- you're supposed to take it slow.

Wild World was much too flat.

Animal Crossing is next week? Costco (here in Merced, CA) had it yesterday for the Wii. I looked at it but didn't pick it up. I had thought it came out this week.

Was it the bundle, perchance? Could save myself some cash on Christmas.

Kyogoku:
When an animal moves away from the town, a rectangular patch remains in the place where their house used to stand. When you see that and realize that this animal has moved away, it really makes you feel sad!

Moro:
But of course, little by little, the grass will grow back, and as the traces of where the animal's house used to stand disappear, your memories of that animal will also fade.

Kobayashi:
So by the time the grass has fully grown back, you'll have completely forgotten that anyone used to live there! (laughs)

All:
