Are the town layouts all disjointed? I hate the ridge and the disjointed river-- it makes it a pain getting around my town.

Did they fix the mail system? When someone mails a letter can it now travel to a house in another town?

I don't think mine is? I'm not sure what you mean, but I don't have problems getting around.
Ok, for everyone who hasn't played the DS version, the amount of new content you'll find is actually sufficient, well at least for me. Quite a bit of new things, the stargazing, you can pick up flowers off the ground and move/wear them.
You can browse furniture sets in the city ($250,000 for the first one I saw), the Happy Room Academy has been elaborated quite a bit, there's quite a bit more activities. Even get a vibrating controller this time around (missed out on that with fishing with a wavebird).
There's even some new writing in the animals dialog, the occasionally odd but really funny conversations and one of the animals asked me to ask relay a message to another player, and upon doing so, the other player was quizzed and given a reward.
Found an elegant mushroom tonight, figured it'd go for $500 seeing how the normal ones go for $2-300. Nope, way off, 10,000 coins!

I think so, when you mail a letter, you are asked what town you want to send the letter to (the town is listed next to the person's name anyway). You can even send your future self letters, I guess to remind yourself or clear up inventory?
I'm massively impressed by Wii Speak. A buddy and me were communicating a few minutes ago. It was basically crystal clear. I didn't have any issues with hearing myself over his Wii Speak, or his game music, or anything. He briefly heard a blaring siren through mine, but hey, I live right next door to a fire station. I can't do anything about that.
Audio quality is leaps beyond my launch-era X360 headset, and Wii Speak is infinitely more comfortable as well.
I'm just surprised it works so well. And the blue light is cute.

Wow, they have come a long way from the Wiimote speakers.
Oh, and the download code for the Wii Speak Channel that comes with the Wii Speak hardware is already live. In the mean time you can only download a placeholder channel that'll update and tell you when the channel goes live. But the codes are already live, and you only need to input it once. Once you have the placeholder channel, you're a quick update away from the real thing. You won't need the code again.
What's up with this not being in widescreen? That's just weird... I like the text though, nice and big and easy to read. I knew there wasn't a visual upgrade from the earlier shots and stuff, but it's still kind of shocking at how samey it looks. Oh well, my girlfriend loves the game and she'll enjoy it, so no biggie.

Hmm, quick question...anyone know where you get centipedes? I got a request from my sister's game (I guess she asked me) and I never heard of those...thanks!

I've started it and have enjoyed several hours on it thus far. Animal Crossing really rounds out the experience of the system it is on, and it's a welcome edition.
On the DS, I used Animal Crossing as a community hub and as a stepping stone for other online games. For example, I'd invite three other of my friends to the cafe, talk a bit, and use a second DS to play Mario Kart, Pokemon, etc. What unique uses for Animal Crossing have some of you devised?
I use to organize vast communities, everyone would have everyone elses friend codes, and I would schedule a community gathering. Since you could only have four to a visit, it was carefully organized so that people would switch and have the opportunity to play with someone different. I may think about doing something similar. It's great way to just hang out, get other friend codes for different games, and just generally relax.
A few tips:
1) Write interesting things on your town's bulletein board. I like to check it when I go to other people's towns.
2) Don't wander around when some one else visits your town or when you visit theirs. Stick together! Otherwise, it's rude and annoying!
3) Let someone know well in advance when your gates will be open. Let them know when you'll be playing, and perhaps they'll drop by.

Yes, we had a 1/2 Something Awful 1/2 Neogaf party in my town tonight, and a goon swapped codes with a GAFer.

Online worked perfectly for me last night. Now it doesn't work for me at all tonight. I got stuck with Inquiry hell whenever I tried to roam (3 minutes or so of Getting Inquiry... before giving me back control) and whoever tried to join me got error codes.
So, I finished this

I bought it. It's quite nice, especially since it's 20% off from Gamestop if you buy the game from them. Even at full price it's worth it I think just to have everything cataloged and accessible. It also has a calander and a list of each animal's birthdays as well. Of course you could get all this stuff for free online too, but it's nice to have a physical copy too.

I only ever played AC on the GameCube and things got real boring after awhile. How many more items/collectibles are in this one compared to the first?

From the OP:
25% more than Wild World, but I don't know the total bump up from the GCN one.

That's par for the course when it comes to anamorphic widescreen. The game is in widescreen, though a few things like the virtual keyboard look like they weren't compensated for and look a bit fat.Meier said:

Yup, I don't want to share my rooms. There are too few of them to share though.:Motorbass said:
What about visiting friends Town! Can you visit the Town, not the village, of your friendlist friends without them being online? Its kinda sad you cannot visit the village though. they said it would be possible at e3 if I remember correctly
So I bought this along with a new Wii yesterday (yes, I love the Wii, but I had some money issues this past summer). I hate that stupid glove thing Nintendo packs with it now. You can just take it off, but they even use that glove in the Wii remote animations in-game and stuff. Looks dumb.
And I hate how they changed the strap on the remote too.
Figured I'd get my nitpicking out of the way before I dig into the game after work today.

Yes. I did it twice actually. ^_^;;
Here's some pictures I took using the in-game camera...
That's me and my fiancee standing on the beach in my town
And here's me paying off my first house remodel...
And here's one of me standing next to my two favorite items that I dragged out of my DS Catalog.

I don't know that they talked about it at this E3, but it was one of the early examples they gave of the advantages of WiiConnect24 back in 2006.Caesar III said:

In AC GCN and Wild World you could change the background of your item menu by dragging a shirt to a 16th item slot that wasn't visible on-screen. I've tried dragging shirts to various on-screen locations outside of the 15 item slots, but have had no luck getting the same effect in City Folk. Anyone else?
