After much anticipation, Nintendo FINALLY announced Animal Crossing: City Folk, which is the Wii version of Animal Crossing. I am STILL a big fan of Animal Crossing: Wild World, even though I have pretty much done everything that I could do in this game. You can imagine how eager I am to play Animal Crossing: City Folk. For more information about it, here is the Wikipedia entry:

• Animal Crossing: City Folk – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The primary new addition to Animal Crossing: City Folk is a new city area. Accessible to players by bus, the city offers a variety of activities. In the city, players can shop for clothes and accessories at Gracie Grace, a fashion boutique shop, and can redo their hairstyles at Harriet’s hair salon (like in Wild World). Players can even choose to replace their face with that of their Mii’s. Other activities available at the city take advantage of the Wii’s Wi-Fi capabilities, such as an auction house, where players can auction off items to other players via Wi-Fi connection, an office for the Happy Room Academy, where players can see how well other players’ towns are progressing, and a theater to learn emotions. Redd is back, but you still need to know a password like in Wild World.

Here is a video (the demonstrator and interviewer are BORING, but they show you a lot of cool stuff) that shows you a lot of the city:

Here is the Nintendo announcement about the game at E3 this month:

I’m glad to see so much of what I loved about the game has returned better than ever. I can’t wait until November when it’s available!
