With Animal Crossing: City Folk hitting stores November 16th this year, I am sure pre-ordering it ahead of time is a must. The game looks identical to the Gamecube and DS version, but the framerate is a lot better which in turns gives the game a much sharper look to things. Also, instead of the usual town, it is now a full blown city; including a hair salon, fashion store, an Auction House, the Happy Room Academy, a theater, and much more. The theater is a great place to go to check out some shows, either alone or with a few friends who you are playing online with over WiiConnect24. The same problem we had with the online multiplayer DS version of if the person hosting the game loses connection then all the players get booted and nothing is saved will still be present, but Nintendo is trying to make up for that with more options and happenings within the multiplayer aspect of the game.
One of my favorite additions is the fact that you will be able to transfer your DS AC character over to City Folk...and ALL of your belongings, but not your bells (money). This announcement alone, makes me very excited...all of my hours and hours of collecting and hard work will not be lost. Also, you will be able to use your Mii's head as a mask for your AC character, I think it looks quite creepy, but to each his own. You will also still be able to design your own shirts, hats, and other accessories. It doesn't stop there tho, this time around instead of only being able to design the front of your shirt, now you can design every last portion from the front, to each individual sleeve and even the back.
I am very excited about this new installment to the Animal Crossing universe. I cannot wait to see how far this game can go. I will see you in Animal Crossing this fall!
