Description

If life were an endless vacation, what would you do? Go fishing, collect shells or watch fireworks with friends? Build a snowman, exchange presents with family or decorate your house for the holidays? Take a trip to the city, go on a shopping spree or visit friends from all over the globe? In Animal Crossing: City Folk, life moves at a relaxed pace, but the world brims with endless possibilities.

Special Features:

  • There&;apos;s always something new to do. In the living, breathing world of Animal Crossing: City Folk, days and seasons pass in real time, so there&;apos;s always something to discover. Catch fireflies in the summer, go trick-or-treating on Halloween or hunt for eggs on Bunny Day. If you&;apos;re in the mood for something a little faster paced, take a bus to a new urban city area that&;apos;s unique to Animal Crossing: City Folk. There you can catch a show at the theater or check out the sales at Gracie&;apos;s boutique. But if you don&;apos;t show your face back home for too long, your neighbors will miss you. Up to four people from your household can live and work together to build the perfect town. Design clothes and patterns, write letters and post messages on the bulletin board for each other, or invite up to three friends to visit your town using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. With the new WiiSpeak microphone, it&;apos;s like you&;apos;re all in the same room. The microphone sits atop the sensor bar and picks up the conversation of everyone in the room to encourage a more inclusive experience. Get to know your neighbors. The heart of Animal Crossing: City Folk is building relationships with the animals in your town as well as with other players. Befriend your animal neighbors by exchanging letters, gifts and favors. Animals can also move from town to town, bringing their memories and stories from their old towns with them. And since animals are notoriously loose-lipped, they spill all the juicy details. Express your personal style. Customize your town, your house and yourself by collecting bugs, fish, fossils, art, furniture, clothes and accessories. You can also go to the salon in the city to change your hairstyle and get a Mii? makeover. Plus, if you design clothes in the tailor&;apos;s shop, animals will wear them and maybe even bring them to other towns.To play “Animal Crossing: City Folk” over Nintendo WFC, when visiting another town, visitors and hosts must first register each others’ friend codes to their friend rosters.

    What Parents Need to Know

    About Animal Crossing: City Folk - Game Only

    Parents need to know that this is a life simulation game in which you become a citizen of a small community of anthropomorphic animals. If your child is old enough to have played the original Animal Crossing on the GameCube, this game is not that different. But if they haven't played the game before, prepare for hours in front of the TV set while your children move around this new world full of funny animals. This is the first game that utilizes Nintendo's new WiiSpeak microphone, an option that lets you speak to friends and families who are also playing this game in another location. While this opens up the possibility of chat-abuse, you can only chat with people you know, since you have to have exchanged "Friend codes" offline. Online capabilities let also allow you visit towns of friends and family. Reading is a big part of this game so it is not playable by non-readers.

    Families Can Talk About

    Families can talk about their favorite animal characters. Do you like Grace the Hedgehog, who works at the clothing shop, or Katrina, the fortune telling feline? If there were any character that you could take out of the game and make real, which would it be? Did the game give you any ideas for things that you could do to help people in real life? Like what?
