Well I've been waiting for someone take make a thread about this but never saw one happen. So I decided to make one.
Well anyways this is where you talk about the new Animal Crossing game coming out for Wii called Animal Crossing City Folk. Fell free to post videos, pictures, etc about the game.
Oh and as a added bonus I found out that Mario and Luigi (A.K.A Charles Martinet) guessed stared in the E3 Gameplay Demo (from a diffrent demo booth of course to show off WiiSpeak) while people played the game.

Oh also if someone already did make this and I didn't notice it please don't flame me for not looking, just simply close this thread.

Ha, Mario and Luigi converation. This game looks great so far
-
AWW man! I dont have the wii yet. This game look awesome I wish I could have the chance to play it though.
:(
-
I like how the game is going to so far but it seems like all they did was took Animal Crossing Wild World and added to it by making some motion control (which could actually be the touch screen control with some tweaks to it) and better lighting effects. So basically it's just a Wild World expansion pack disguised as a new game for Wii.
I don't hate the game or anything infact Ill probably buy it, I'm just saying that it looks to much like Wild World.

[10:57] <+BoostPower> The new Animal Crossing game should have a FIGHT CLUB in the basement of the museum
[10:58] <+BoostPower> You fight other players/townspeople with whatever (shovel, axe, chair, fish)
[10:59] <+BoostPower> And if you have some coffee at The Roost first, the caffiene gives you extra strength and speed
[10:59] <Rodan> that would ruin the child-friendliness
[10:59] <+BoostPower> Uhhh hello
[10:59] <+BoostPower> These kids just MOVED AWAY from their families to live alone in a town full of talking animals
[10:59] <+BoostPower> that takes guts
[10:59] <Rodan> hahahaaaahha
[11:00] <+BoostPower> Game needs more action. Wild World has become boring, so I can only predict City Folk will too.
-
I like how Wario Ware: Smooth Moves had us fishing (pull back on the Wiimote when you feel the rumble).
I want to do more of that.
-
The motion control will be great for fishing, bug-catching, etc.
...Although, considering the title, maybe you'll use the motion control to swipe credit cards.
-
Sadly the only Motion Controll in the game is pointing and clicking just like in Wild World where you would put the pen somewhere on the screen and your charicter would go their.
-
I did not like AC on the DS pretty much, I have to admit. It felt slower. I had hours upon hours of fun with the GameCube version, though. Judging by the videos, the Wii version looks like it's more fast-paced, which I like. Pointing and clicking always feels faster to me than dragging with the stylus or moving with the control stick.
-
I'll get this game if the ratings are good, and I hear that it's better than the others.
-
Wild World was underwhelming, but I know I'll always have the original to fall back on if this disappoints (to be honest, I don't know a whole lot about this game, at least in terms of what it looks like so far. I've been gone, and my home comp's dial-up isn't exactly eager to show pictures and video very fast).
And I know it's part of the series, but... man, I'm sick of fishing.
-
Fishing=the only way to pay off your mortgage effectively...
Also, I thought that while WW was a bit lacking in the graphics department, I liked how you could customize your character beyond what shirt they wear (haircuts, hats, accessories, etc.)
-
Fishing? I'm in the fruit business. I plant all sorts of fruit trees that aren't from my town and earn near 70,000 a day, every three days.
-
Foreign fruits work too, but it's faster, easier, and more profitable to fish, IMO.
-
Does anyone know how much the WiiSpeak michrophone will cost? I want to get AC:CF, but I'm not sure about said accessory.
-
Fishing=the only way to pay off your mortgage effectively...
No, I meant in videogames in general--especially considering how fishing simulations and the Wii are drawn together like N/S magnets.
Well, I saw the trailer (or whatever you want to call a promotional clip of semi-unrelated game footage), and I must say... looking good. Granted, it's Animal Crossing, so we can't expect City Folk to perform a gigantic leap--either graphically or feature-wise--over the original and WW, but what I've seen and heard so far is pleasing.
-
The graphics for fish and bugs could use some work, though...
And make the characters more customizable.
-
I think I heard you can design the front, back, and sleeves of your shirt separately now. Now if we can just design pants too, we can finally make semi-realistic naked people.
-
Ah, an admirable goal.
The graphics for fish and bugs could use some work, though...
It's that important to you? I mean, no offense if it is, but the only time you see bugs and fish up close is upon catching them/viewing them in the museum.
-
I don't know, it's just... sometimes, when I catch a fish/bug, I, for some reason, stare at it longer than usual and think, "Those are some sloppy graphics for the GCN..."
-
Well, so far, the Animal Crossing games have been a port of a Japanese N64 game and a DS game, respectively, so their true graphical potential has yet to shine. Then again, the style of the game is its visual simplicity.
-
Simplicity doesn't mean it has to have disgustingly blurry pixels in all its textures. Look at the Animal Crossing trophies in Brawl.
-
OMG if it uses the friend code system......
-
...then I will murder someone.
-

What, you think I was sticking up for bad graphics? I just mean that the game doesn't have to look like SMG or Twilight Princess or something.
-
It should look like a fantasy version of real life, since that's what it is.
-
It looks allright based on the video.
-
It looks pretty good, if you ask me. I hope for more things to do in this one so that it won't become boring and repetitive like the first two.
It's about time they made Wii Speak. Only problem with it is that Everyone in the same room can speak through it. Atleast it doesn't come bundled with Animal Crossing so it'll hopefully be used in future games,
-
I thought it was bundled with Animal Crossing?
-

Nope, which is good because if it was bundled with it, it would probably mean that Nintendo only intended to make use of it in that game.
-
This game is going to ruin Nintendo! They are betraying their loyal hardcore fans, only to please that worthless casual scum! O Nintendo WHYYYYYYY!
Just Kidding.
I think I will get this game. I liked the one for the DS but I abandoned it before completely paying the house.
Also. ANIMAL CROSSING IS HARDCORE!11 Not that that matters.
-

I guess you could say it's "bundled" with it in spirit. Nintendo can barely make a single release without simultaneously hawking some new white-plastic gimmick that three or four games will use.
On the other hand, why would you assume it would only be used in that game if the mic was bundled with it? The Wii Fit board came with said title, and other games are set to use it. That, and the bundle cost would've been through the roof. Also, Nintendo certainly wouldn't want to suggest that they're encouraing people to use modern gaming technology.

I was preparing to go into harsh rebuke mode after reading the first two lines.

So was I!

I am curious... What were you going to say?

How could you think that this game is going to ruin Nintendo??? Do you even know what game were talking about!! Animal Crossing City Folk is going to be one of the best games coming out for Wii in 2008!! How it the WORLD could you think that this game will not be COMPLETELY AWSOME!!
-
Maybe he just doesn't like Animal Crossing/isn't a total sheep?
-
Let's review:
So far, Animal Crossing has been at best somewhat interesting and never completely awesome.
Logic suggests that this new game will not blow your mind either.
"Awsome" is not a word.
-
1. Awsome is a word. Somthing that is awsome usually has great might or is Godlike. Of course I used it in the wrong context but you knew what I meant.
2. I think that Animal Crossing will be completely awsome because I didn't even have the wi fi on my DS and I would play it for hours! Theres alot to do. Even my sisters that don't play video games tried it once and started playing for hours! You have to customize your house, customize your town, win contests, celebrate holidays, stop people from moving, check your mail, send mail, design clothes, become friends with people, fish, plant, harvest, dig for treasure, and more. With City Folk you can now, talk to people with Wii Speak, Auction off your items, play games with them and probably alot more that I haven't mentioned and don't know about yet.
and much more.
3. I never said anything about the game "blowing my mind". You must be refering to someone elses post.
Anyways don't you agree it will be fun at least a little CW?
-
1. Awsome isn't a word. Awesome on the other hand, is a word.
2. You would play it for hours, not us.
3. You were acting as if the game was the greatest thing ever conceived. The rest of us don't share your sentiments.
-

Huh? HUH??

Not 100% true. AC: GC was the Japanese port, but the DS one was made specifically for the DS. It had slightly better graphics with a lower frame rate. Hopefully the frame rate will be fixed in AC:CF.
BTW, even though the visuals are pretty simple, that doesn't mean that can't be good. Basically, the simplicity part means "easy on the eyes". Right now, the graphics for the game are really good. And another thing is that they series (unless they are on some amazing future system) will also have fake 3-D in some places. For example, the trees are fake 3-D because if someone had 100 trees, that would be 100 models at a time, making a terrible frame rate. (Even though ironically a past-gen system can have 128 Mario running around the screen at the same time).
Scratch that. They might make them have 3-D trees, since both past games were running on N64-style graphic engines.

Huh? HUH??
What's your point?
-
My point is that theres alot to do in this new AM game. It's gonna be really fun!
-
You were saying "huh?" to your own post..,

Having a lot to do = automatic fun?

Well, given the enduring popularity of minigame collections...
1. Awsome is a word. Somthing that is awsome usually has great might or is Godlike. Of course I used it in the wrong context but you knew what I meant.
It took me a little bit to realize he wasn't being sarcastic here, considering he also left the "e" out of "something".
AC: GC was the Japanese port, but the DS one was made specifically for the DS.
Well, I know that. I meant the first game was a port, not the first game and the DS sequel.
My point is that theres alot to do in this new AM game. It's gonna be really fun!
"AM"?
Also, I do believe I will get--and, hopefully, enjoy--this game.
-
"AM"?
Sorry, AC is what I meant. It's awEsome that you corrected that for me!
-
My point is that theres alot to do in this new AC game. It's gonna be really fun!
Nothing that's really different from past AC games, however, even the minor stuff is good.
-
Looking at the trailer again, there's finally something (unless it was already in the original games) that is used to treat bee stings. Perhaps now there'll be a better use for the umbrella: if the player stays out in the rain too long, he catches a cold (with a messed up face), and requires the medicine to treat it.
-
The medicine could heal bee stings in AC:WW.

To that extreme?
