IGN Wii E3 Letter from Matt (Animal Crossing: City Folk)

I have already sent the new AC title to IGN, 1UP, Gamespot, **********, kotaku, nintendo's official website, and CNN is set to report it in their next breaking news segment. No pressure Kagari.
 
Take drugs instead... they'll relax you all the same but they'll kill less brain cells and do less long-term damage.

None at all ;D

Smiles and Cries, you know if you join that team we can never associate again. There's a line and if it's crossed... no turning back!

(Edit: I branded this thread for future reference and easy searching)

you hate it that much? T_T

well the next one better be good since I have no friends left :(

Well...
I can't really argue with that logic, can I...
but what about... ANIMAL CROSSING + DRUGS?

I want Endless Ocean 2
I would definitely love another EO game, as well as anything Pilotwings. I'm also crossing my fingers that we get a clue as to what direction Metroid is headed but I'm not holding my breath.

I swear I saw "Man Icarus" when I clicked the thread :lol

i edited it out, made the topic too cluttered

Shit, is that all it takes?

Sign me up!


Yeah I'll only mock you and ape your shitty taste in future threads instead!

I would take another Endless Ocean too.

Some fixers though...

1. Maybe short video clips of certain special sea creatures
2. EXPAND ABYSS PORTION
3. Perhaps have a 'hardcore mode' where you run out of air over time, or where you have to cautiously approach dangerously sea life like in real life
 
I really don't get the AC appeal. I tried to like it, and I couldn't maintain my interest.
 
I' interested in Animal Crossing Wii mainly to see if the game is the first to really justify the WiiConnect 24 feature.

A perpetual world online with no central servers would be quite cool.
 
Kagari said:
Well, Animal Crossing for Wii's full title is Animal Crossing: City Folk, if that gives you any idea...
Man, I wish people would leak this sort of information about games I'm actually interested in :(

I don't suppose you can say, but will there ever be an EBA2?
 
Darunia said:
Animal Crossing, who gives a fuck. She needs to be right about Pikmin 3. I believe though

Believe in me, and I'll believe in you~

I took Tuesday off just so I could be here.
I'll be the one who said 'I told you so!'

What's EBA?
 
I bet Tom Nook is now some coke-snorting trader on Wall Street now in the Wii version, with Requiem For A Dream 'end to end' parties in his appartment ...

Shut up with the Animal Crossing hate.
Amir0x, just out of curiosity, have you played the DS and the GC versions?


He has and he despises them almost as much as he hates Smash Brothers.


(Me personally im sitll bloody adicted to Animal Crossing DS, its the only DS game i currently still play damn mortage)


What's EBA?

Elite Beat Agents. Scratcher of DS screens everywhere.

I played the Gamecube version, and still own it due to the NES games. It is the Gamecube version that forever cemented my feeling that it is the worst gaming franchise of all time, bar none. It is the most offensively awful "game" ever developed by any company.

I purchased the DS game for my sister, and i think I visited her town once using my other sisters version of AC to pull a prank. other than that, AC DS was exactly like AC GC, except with shitty constellation drawings and no NES games, making it infinitely worse.
 
Smiles and Cries said:
I played Animal Crossing more than I played Mother 3 :D and loved it

fires up AC DS ;p
AC is still one of my all-time favorite series from Nintendo. I actually enjoyed the GC version quite a bit more due to the awesome assortment of retro games, better world layout and music (I would often leave the title screen running while I dozed off).

I would take another Endless Ocean too.

Some fixers though...

I definitely agree with all of those suggestions and would add some crazy underwater cities (imagine swimming through downtown NYC). I think the game could go more towards the Pilotwings route and introduce some specific missions like trapping some creature for research purposes, saving a group of swimmers from a group of hungry sharks, etc. Hell, they could even throw in the "swim through the rings" shit.
 
Kagari do you know of anything else besides AC and Pikmin?
 
rakka said:
yeah, pretty much..

also if AC / Pikmin are their spotlights for this e3 i'm going to be dissappointed.


Kagari said:
I'm sorry.


Wait, Do you know about everything at the conference?

So the only focus will be on Pikmin and AC, or you just know they will be a big part of the presentation?


If those two games are really it, we seem to have a showdown between you and the guy who promised Retro's new game (unless Retro is doing AC)

edit: last part was a joke
 
Animal Crossing GCN was so great because of the retro titles you could play. With the VC now, do you think Nintendo will let you play your VC collection directly in AC Wii? The only way AC Wii will be huge is if it's a MMO with voice-chat and other ideas.

I wouldn't mind a tighter mission structure.

I would like them to...

- Significantly enhance the complexity of sea tours. In sea tours, basically you can get a five star rating if you waited it out long enough and captured the one sea creature the person wanted to see. Sea tours should be based on the type of educational value you give, the type of pictures you take on the tour, etc. It should be considerably more risk-reward than it was. Add some skill. Make me feel like being a marine biologist takes fucking hard work.

- Don't feel afraid to go a little wild with the concept, I agree. Like, having a special underwater sea cave (or city, whatever) that is devoted to cryptozoological finds and another devoted to ancient sea life, like "sea monsters 3D" only actually works

- Give the Aquarium a greater purpose. Perhaps have a mini sim where you actually get funding for your continued expanse into the oceans by having an attractive Aquarium which attracts lots of visitors.
 
anyone able to tell me why I should look forward to pikmin 3 (haven't played the previous games, style doesn't appeal to me), let alone ac?

Whats the word on Retro's new game? Everything else is uninteresting to me.
yeah, pretty much. everything else thats been hinted at has been disappointing.

For all we know they could be the ones developing the new Icarus, although I hope not. I really want them to create something wholly original.
 
Fantastical said:
Are you sure that Animal Crossing and Pikmin will be the main games shown? Not that that's a bad thing, but nothing about Kid Icarus that you know?
Kid Icarus will be there in some form. Whether or not it will be playable isn't known, but expect a trailer at the very least.

I'm not saying they'll be the main games, but they will be shown.

obviously you clearly need to be playing that game and not AC, if nintendo let you play your VC games on the new animal crossing.

I'm glad to know that some people out there are as baffled as I am as to the popularity of this franchise with the hardcore.
