I'm pretty excited for this animal crossing the holidays make a comeback which is nice I read on Amazon.com information on this animal crossing it has this.. "Play at different times of the year to experience different activities, holidays and seasons. And when visiting a friend in another country, experience the holidays native to their culture."

That sounds very interesting if you can do that also if you buy both animal crossing city folk and wii speak at amazon you get it for $75.48 instead of $79.98 not a bad deal I guess if you intend to get both items, but I'm sure other retailers should have specials with AC:CF and wii speak when it comes out..

I plan to order both animal crossing and the wiispeak on amazon plus the $10 towards a game purchase is nice too I can't wait to play this new animal crossing only 21 days to go it's too bad I don't have wifi right now, but I hope to have it by early 2009 when I do I'll be playing brawl and AC:CF with friends like crazy. :bouncy:

They really dropped the ball by not having any motion controls, I mean you can make it optional so those who like playing with more traditional controls can turn it off.

I know some people liked playing with the stylus in Wild World, while others preferred the d-pad. I just like having the option.

lilboo

10-27-2008, 07:32 AM

^ I agree. You'd think they'd have you walk over to a tree equipped with an Axe, hold A+B and swing to chop it down.

Or something along those lines.
Still, <3 Animal Crossing and I can't wait to get my insane addiction back. :(

More like $10.00, why would you buy it separately when you would be getting Animal Crossing anyway? Just pay $60.00 and get the bundle.

I cannot find any concrete info that the bundle actually exists aside from that rumor a little while ago.

Here you go:
http://wii.ign.com/articles/915/915864p1.html

IGN: Sounds good, but you're also packing WiiSpeak with Animal Crossing, right?
Cammie Dunaway: We are going to do a limited edition bundle with Animal Crossing that will run for $59.99 and will come out on the 16th as well.

Strell

10-27-2008, 10:59 PM

Doomed is somewhat right. I couldn't find a bundle on Amazon, and you know those ninjas do how they do.

You could buy both together for $75, which Amazon proudly declared allowed you to save 4.98!

yukine

10-27-2008, 11:00 PM

Well I heard rumors that it is going to be exclusive to certain retailers , most likely Gamestop since they mentioned it during a manger conference.

It is strange though that we can't even pre-order it yet, the release date isn't that far away. I wonder how limited this bundle really is going to be?

theflicker

10-27-2008, 11:58 PM

I'll get this game and enjoy it, but part of me wishes there was a little more to this game. Maybe a more robust city section.

BlueLobstah

10-28-2008, 01:31 PM

I'm just hoping I can pick this up at TRU, as I have a placeholder set aside for the bundle. Not sure what I will do if the bundle is exclusive to GameStop...

meerkatgamer

If this Limited edition is $59.99 I hope I'll be able to get it and the release is only a few weeks away I hope there's something announced soon. :bouncy:

There's a theatre in the city for facial expressions I think I wish they included the animal crossing anime that was released in Japan in this as a option to watch once you get all the facial expressions..

But what other game can keep you engaged for a year? Besides an MMO, I certainly can't think of any. My wife and I played the first AC for nearly a year (playing a few days every week) and I played AC:WW for around 6 months pretty actively before losing interest.

If you are into this style of game, I can't think of many games that give you the bang for your buck that AC does.

That isn't saying that they couldn't have beefed up the feature set or substantially changed the gameplay, I certainly think they should have, but this iteration will sell like gangbusters just like the rest and I believe it is worth the money.

I think if you own a DS you can use it to put your character into it via download play and then take it to friends house to play also no need for the AC:WW game for it too I think that's how it works..

A year of playtime for $50 is pretty good by my standards. I'm already burnt out on Brawl and it hasn't been a year and I'm more than satisfied from my purchase. Of course, I've never played any Animal Crossing games before, so all the better for me.

On another note, I've seen several locations where the Wii Speak bundle was announced for $59.99 but like others have yet to see anyone offering it up for pre-sale. I'm hoping this isn't a GameStop exclusive...

My roommate is getting this, so I don't need to worry about purchasing it myself. I just don't know if I should play AC again, since like many people have said, you'd get sick of it after a while, and I'm still kinda sick of the GC version. It's been like what, 4 years?

VioletArrows

10-28-2008, 05:57 PM

But what other game can keep you engaged for a year?

Ocarina of Time's replays have kept me busy on and off for 7. Link's Awakening for 10. Sonic (pick one) for at least 5, Dungeon Keeper II (make a p2p to play my boyfriend) for 8, and Kirby's Adventure for 13. I have at least 10 other games that have been faithful friends for a LONG ASS TIME. *pets her Intellivision, inherited from her grandmother*

When I get games, I fully intend to keep them and play the living hell out of them (or at least until they fall apart, then I download).

But if you mean new content constantly, then you've got a point. But that's why I have free MMOs.

And people keep comparing it to the GameCube version. I got sick of that in about 3 weeks and gave it back to my roommate. Harvest Moon lasted about 2 days.

leveskikesko

10-28-2008, 06:08 PM

It all depends on your tastes. Funny how you mentioned free mmos, all of them bore me within minutes.

I think as gamers some of us have this tendency to finish a game as fast as possible and disover everything ASAP. AC can't be played in this manner. I don't play it every day, or even every week, but the times I do play are fun because I get to see how the little town is adjusting.

I couldn't play it every day though, but that's not a bad thing in my opinion. Basically, avoid the temptation to discover everything in one sitting and you'll like this game more.

I'm not getting this game though. Looks like more of the same, so instead I will play old AC again.

This.

I was probably the only one in my base camp of friends who was playing this after everyone else had gotten rid of it, because I wanted to see if there was anything else to get. I was mistaken, and that was the end of my 4-month AC run.

There was Dōbutsu no Mori for N64 (only in Japan), followed by Dōbutsu no Mori Plus (only in Japan), then that was translated into Animal Crossing that we all know and love, then Nintendo of Japan loved all the new features in the translation and used them in another game, Dōbutsu no Mori e-Plus. Note that even e-Plus has features not in the US version, for example visiting the store after hours and visiting Resetti. There was an excellent article about all of the features not found in Animal Crossing, but a search on "The Google" yeilds nothing. :-( That followed by Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk leaves us at Animal Crossing +++++, with Dōbutsu no Mori being the first game.

I don't get what I'm so wrong about. Unless you are implying I didn't know there was an N64 version, which I did. Hence why the GC version is sort of like an AC+ version, and then the DS version is basically just a slight extension of that.

You think I'm using the plus signs to denote pure number, when I'm using it to talk about features present in each successful build. Further, from an American standpoint, there are three titles in the series, which is more what I'm getting at. And finally, since this version looks identical to all previous versions, which is just ridiculous.

While I haven't played an Animal Crossing game yet, I'm a little disappointed in the bundle because that was actually a big draw and would have been a good move for Nintendo. I was all over, "Buy Animal Crossing and get Wii Speak for $10!", but $20 kind of feels like a bit of a rip off when I already own a good high quality headset/mic.

But considering I already have placeholders for games at TRU, they already have me hook, line, and sinker. Damn you Nintendo! *shakes fist*

I have this preordered at Blockbuster and if they don't have it day 1, I'll get the bundle from Gamestop if they have any in. Blockbuster won't have the bundle version of course. I'm tempted to preorder at Gamestop to secure one, but then I'm not even that sure I want voice chat in AC... Seems wrong, you know? I guess the $10 makes a big difference - at $60 I'd preorder at Gamestop for sure, but at $70, meh, I'll leave it up to chance (BB doesn't get my preorder day 1 and GS has the bundle for purchase means I get it).

Just saw the commercial for this, and it was terrible.

I somehow knew what it was without knowing what it was beforehand, and that scares the shit out of me given the nature of the advertisement.

I wonder if Nintendo is dumb enough to make it such that if two people were playing online, and one has WiiSpeak and the other doesn't, that you can't actually send voice messages in-game unless both people have it.

In other words, does the WiiSpeak itself generate the voice messages, or are they filtered through the game's audio? I guess I can't imagine the former being true, but Nintendo does amazingly dumb things sometimes, and I could see this being the case.

11-12-2008, 07:19 PM

^^ Oy, that never occured to me, but, damn, you may be on to something there. Nintendo does do some dumb stuff so it wouldn't surprise me at this point. Actually, I see it as a "security" thing they may want to enforce - if you don't have Wii Speak then that means you don't want to hear all the foul language generated by the other people (despite them being on your friend code list ;)).

The catch is that it's a one-time code, so if you end up picking up a used one, chances are you'll get one without the code or with a code that's already been used."

The funny part? The Wii Speak Channel was pushed back to December, apparently since there's no place to enter the code in the US Wii Shop Channel (The Japanese Wii Shop has had the code area for some time, due to Daigasso! Band Brothers DX and its Speaker Channel using the same process).

From what I've heard: Due to it originally being an N64 game, the GC version was still small enough to fit the entire game in the GC's RAM, thus resulting in little to no load times.

The GC version didn't support simultaneous local multiplayer, and I haven't heard anything specific about City Folk supporting it, but it does have DS Download Play for "visiting other players' towns," so it might have some sort of simultaneous local mode.

NinYENdo it is. Thanks for helping me continue to stick it to the man.

All rebellion aside, I'd love to get this but there's no way I can afford it at the moment. I wish I could buy retail games with VC points.

If you want to get it early, you can check walmart like someone else here said. I looked at the online stock locator and one place around Columbus, OH has it.

I called one store that was closer and got an indian man on the phone. I asked if he had Animal Crossing in and he said "It does not sell wil Sunday." I felt like being an ass and said "But do you have it in?". And he just kept saying "Sir, we can not sell it until Sunday"

That's my story.

i happened to be at 2 other walmarts today and passed by video games to see if i got lucky or it was widespread... but nobody else had animal crossing out. or wii speak.

i found mine at the eastchase walmart in arlington, TX for those interested in jumping in early.

i played a little bit last night. i knew it LOOKED exactly like all the others, but i was still expecting something new and cool when i started playing. like, maybe the videos didn't do it justice. nope, the videos are dead on. except for a some subtle visual changes and a screwy menu system, there's little to distinguish the wii version from the gamecube version.

I picked it up today after work ad my favorite mom and pop shop. After playing it for an hour I had a few thoughts on it. This is coming from only playing the GC version.

The flowers don't die when you run through them!
I like where you can pick where your house is.
I like how you can have the WiiMote in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
This is my kind of gaming.

Argh. My Wal-Mart is always stuck up when it comes to release dates. Even if they can sell it, they won't.

Anyway, seeing the posts here show me that no Wii Speak at Wal-Mart? Damn. Doing a quick search of their site, they have it marked as "Not sold in stores" which may explain it.

Hopefully GS will have the bundles even though they don't even show up on their website.

I went to my Walmart last night and saw both the game and WS in the glass case. No bundle, but they should be selling both.

I debated getting them right then and there, but ultimately CAGness won out and I decided I could wait a few days to save a few bucks.

Well I know for a fact that only certain stores are getting the bundles. From what I'm seeing, the only website I've actually seen them for sale on is Amazon. GS and Wal-Mart have them as sold separate and no bundle listed.

Other retailers should get them, but my search so far has only turned up Amazon.

I don't really care to much for the room chat thing ( i forget what it's called), but I will be getting the game. Honestly I'm not into buying all these peripherals for these games that don't use them other then for one game.

They have way to many accessories for the Wii.

I am personally a great fan of Animal Crossing games, although the DS version did not really satisfy me to much, as much as the Gamecube version did.

11-15-2008, 06:51 PM

It's cheaper to buy the bundle because buying the game ($50) + the Wii Speak ($30) = $80. While the bundle is $70 instead.

Yeah that's true. Honestly the quality of that mic is probably not going to be the best, and I bet you have to be very close to the TV to talk. I'm not going to get it, it's 30 dollars more for a mic. Maybe if it's good quality, and it can be used for the PC, like Sony's Eyetoy was used for a Webcam.

11-16-2008, 02:16 AM

Does anybody happen to know if the game that comes in the bundle has a standard barcode on it? Or is it one of those wonderful "not for resale" jobs like they put in other bundles? (Guitar Hero, Warhawk, etc.) I've got the game pre-ordered for my wife at Gamestop, but I know she wants the stupid wii speak thing, and I'm trying to anticipate Gamestop not having the bundle available (although why they wouldn't is beyond me. It makes me think Amazon's bundle is make believe). I'm not paying $30 for the freaking mic, so if neccessary, I'll order the bundle from Amazon, and then return the sealed game with my Gamestop receipt. Anybody know?

I'm a fan of the GC animal crossing and the DS animal crossing was ok, but I got kinda bored of it I didn't like the made up holidays, but the wii animal crossing has the holidays back so that's good.

One thing I liked bout the AC:WW is that I could change the look of the town by putting putting my designs on the floor can you do that on the wii game too if not that's ok..

I plan to get just the game the wiispeak is nice and all, but only games to use it now and in the future is animal crossing and the conduit so if I do get it I'll wait for a sale on wii acessories or some type of coupon..

Supposedly, the game audio is filtered through itself to knock out any in-game sounds. By all intensive purposes, it seems like the mic picks up audio pretty well but I still question whether or not the purchase would actually be $30, much less $20 if you pick up the bundle.

I plan on trying to pick this up at TRU sometime this week, although my local TRU tends to be fairly slow with new releases, so I may not be able to pick it up until later in the week.

Just picked up a copy from Best Buy about an hour ago. It looks almost exactly like AC:WW but with higher rez textures.

I thought my 3 year old daughter might like to play it but then realized/remembered how text heavy the game is. You can navigate the entire game with just the Wiimote which is nice. So she can move her little girl around, but she doesn't want to listen to any of the animals yapping at her.

Oh, and I passed on the WiiSpeak bundle. $70 is just too much for me. Best Buy had a ton of the bundles.

11-16-2008, 02:12 PM

Well, last time I read up about the WS mic, it's apparently attached to a really long cord so you can sit it right next to you as you play, I guess.

I don't know if I want to get it right now or wait for BF for a better deal to pop up - I do want the WS mic, but I feel that $70 for the bundle is a bit too much - I thought it was going for $60 in some places, but I don't know where.

Correct. I was just playing with someone who doesn't have it and they said they could hear me loud and clear. So even if only one person has it, everyone in the game can hear them.

(It's actually... different. Using Wii Speak seems a bit more "relaxed" than a normal headset for some reason. I guess it is because it isn't hugging your ear or head. But that's just my opinion...)

lilboo

11-16-2008, 05:48 PM

Well that's good to know.

So I played for like 3 hours already (...::checks into rehab::..) and yeah, it's Animal Crossing. I am liking this better than Wild World. For some reason, WW sounded good on paper but IMO AC doesn't feel like a good PORTABLE game. But again, that's just IMO.

I put Waaaaaaay too much time into the GCN version, and I can see myself doing MORE than WW, but not as much as the original on this. I already went to Animal Crossing's website and printed out November's calendar of events..:lol: so I'm siked!

Here's what I really am liking so far:
-It's Animal Crossing. The gameplay is the same and they pretty much only ADDED. So that's always solid.
-AC was never meant to be a graphical delight, and it still isn't. However, it DOES look pretty nice. I def notice a significant difference between this and the gamecube
-The City def adds something else to do. Even though it's not huge, it gives you a change of scenery and new people to meet 8-)

..And that's really all I was able to do :lol:

Is the Island in this game?! I hope so!...anyone know how to get to it? :-s
Not that it's a big deal, but I kind of wished we were able to name the City. It's not a big deal, but it would have been nice.

Now that Gracie, Redd, and Katrina have their shops in the city..will they still come to your town and set up? :-s

That's 2 other people with cherries?! I thought I was all like, special and rare, :(

Both of you need to start a new game. [-(

Nessa has cherries too. Come on- someone get some Oranges!

This game is going to be/ and is epic. Graciegrace has the most outrageous prices I've seen... 124k for a carpet?! I thought Redd's prices were bad, but this...

I spent all my hard earned money today on a BREATHE TAKING ELEGANT HAT 8-)

Just wanted to tell everyone, my Nook's is selling a froggy chair, and some ugly wallpaper and flooring, if anybody wants to buy it, LOL. Oh, and a watering can, haha :)

Droenixjpn

My Tom Nook was selling a Shovel, Fishing Pole and a Net. All profit making items... Sweet! I remember from the GC version how everyone in the town would get mad at you if you wrote a letter to them. They always wondered what your letter said or was about, lol.

I actually like the city, and I wonder what the Shoe Shine boy will eventually become? Because the city folk said that you didn't have to wait in line... Hmmm. He's also sitting in front of a abandoned place. I bet he'll own that place and own a shoe shine business, lol. So... Pay him his 500.

I wish I had a router to connect to right now, maybe later on.

Droenixjpn

11-16-2008, 08:39 PM

Just stick with it really, starting over always make me not like the game. Like in Pokemon I start over and start to dislike doing everything over again. Just stick with it. I always find it funny how the bridges for the rivers are always weird. The loading times could be better, but whatever it's still a epic game. Always funny to see the bus do a wheelie, lol.

I did like my DS AC's town and don't remember how I felt about the GC version at first, but I know I liked it.

I don't think anyone will be transferring their DS data. I like to start fresh every Animal Crossing game as it gives me a sense of awesomness, lol.

The only bad I could find for this game is loading times, everything else is pretty awesome.

In ACWW I didn't add people's names or towns right and it fixed itself as soon as one of us visited the other.

Good:
Very few jaggies, I've seen like two very minor ones.
Seems to be more items (duh)
More stuff to do (city)
USB keyboard support worked the first one I tried
Stays true to ACWW and AC
Changes for the better in Nook's Cranny (3 tools per day)

Bad:
Not that much new as far as I can see
WiiSpeak being $20 or $30

So far it was worth the $50.

1 town per system, and 36 blocks! :shock:

Oh, that's not bad at all. I was expecting 128 blocks or something. But one town per system, eh? That means I need to hash that all out now with my kids before they start. It needs to be a name we all agree on ;).

I watched the whole 2 hour marathon around 3 hours after they finished it, since I was out to eat, so I wasn't there. It totally seemed like a worth it game to me. I haven't played any of the other games, but when I get the Wii/Game, I'm going to pick up a copy of the GCN one too.

Filler2001

11-16-2008, 10:42 PM

Ok, Master FC list complete, also, check to make sure I got correct info, so people are adding the right stuff. Soon I hope to make a part where it says:
Keyboard/Wiispeak: yes/no or something like that. If you feel the need to tell me, make a new post and dont edit old ones, as I doubt Ill be going back to those.

lilboo

11-16-2008, 10:42 PM

There's really no point in that, IMO.
All 3 games (GCN, DS, and Wii) are pretty much the same. The DS was an upgrade over the GCN, and the Wii version is the upgrade to the DS.

lilboo, there isn't any way to change your face in the other games, but in ACCF you can use a Mii mask I suppose.

How was everybody's first day? Besides not being able to visit you guys, it was awesome. Made a dent in the museum's emptyness and paid off my first debt. Only thing that sucked was I didn't get my shoes shined, which probably has some signifigance.

Also, for those new to AC Talk to Sabel, the quiet one in the Able Sisters store and buy coffee from Brewster in the museum's basement daily to befriend them.

My town's not that bad actually. The buildings are all close to each other, and the bridges are very well placed. I have a ton of damn trees though, and no axe. I regret picking the ocean house though. It sucks having to go out of your way just to see a new piece of furniture.

I've already paid off the initial debt, and I'll be getting my upgrade tomorrow. The museum is full of fish, and there's a few bugs. I got my shoes shined, and did a few errands.

The only problem I have with the game, besides the controls, is that you can't just ask for errands. I don't want to have to spend 30 minutes trying to find a job to do.

Does anyone have a Hippo named BITTY or a dog named MADDIE in their town? If so, please, invite me. I have to re-meet these guys in hope they will move back.
Long story short: In the original AC, I had these 2 as neighbores and I loved them. Maddie was SO nice and Bitty was such a fat asshole..but she held a special place in my heart.

OH BITTY, WHERE ARE YOU.

i feel ya man. i bought the game at 9am when toys r us opened. i didnt have a town that i liked until 1130 am. i just kept resetting the game if i didnt like the layout. sure it took 2 hours to find one, but for a game that ill be playing for a year (more likely longer) it was worth finally getting one i like. my advise is, if youre not happy with it start over before you get in too deep because after a few weeks youll be too invested to start over.

You get to skip the personality quiz at the beginning of the game, and your catalog at nook's store is transferred into the game. No money transfer, no items. I was kind of sad about it. I have seen a couple of times when the game has referenced that i played AC:WW.

according to gonintendo- you can get your ribbons (from donation), and you can transfer over some of the nintendo items- like the master sword, arwing, etc (not the mario furniture set).
