Animal Crossing Comes to Wii
Nintendo has announced that Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City, the first of the franchise to appear on the Wii, is set to hit store shelves on December 4th, 2008.
Animal Crossing is well known for its unique and addictive gameplay as you build up relationships and work together with other characters.
Up to four people in your household can live and work together to build the perfect town, or you can invite up to three friends to visit your town using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The Wii Speak accessory (broadband internet connection required) allows you to talk to your friends, no matter what their location. The Wii Speak accessory sits atop the sensor bar and picks up the conversation of everyone in the room. As you talk to your friends via Wii Speak you will even see their character on your screen.
With Wii Speak comes a code that allows you to download the Wii Speak Channel at no charge. Simply visit the Wii Shop Channel to download this feature. Wii Speak lets people in up to four locations who have traded Friend Codes chat with one another at no extra cost. When you use Wii Speak in real time, your Mii appears on your TV screen and mimics your chat. You also can leave audio messages for your friends and family members or use Wii Speak to narrate captions for your photos.
In Animal Crossing: Let’s Go To The City days, months and even holidays pass just as they do in the real world. Go trick-or-treating in late October, catch fireflies in the summer, play practical jokes on April Fool’s Day, or hunt for eggs on Bunny Day. If it starts raining, you’ll even need to make sure you have brought an umbrella, and if you want to catch a show at the theatre, you’ll need to make sure you purchase a ticket and come back at the actual time the show starts!
Animal Crossing: Let’s Go To The City and Wii Speak are also sold separately, or alternatively you can purchase both products together as a bundle. The title will be available from December 4th.
