I don't like talking to my games - that would be a dealbreaker, and I like Animal Crossing. It's far more fun to dig inappropriate shaped holes in the towns of people you know, and are in the same room with, anyway. The cries of woe coming from the other side of the office will live on in infamy. Harvest Moon is better though. |

You don't actually think they came up for that, do you? User was banned for: Poll: What is your opinion on the Metal Gear Solid storylines?. (Permanent) |

Which one in particular are you referring to? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1813 Joined: 8 Apr 2008     | We knew that Animal Crossing would eventually find its way to the Wii, but we didn't know it would be bringing a new gadget.. We didn't? That's not a given for a first party Wii release yet? I think Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility will be my last Wii purchase unless Nintendo surprises me in the future (and if HM ever stops being stalled one month at a time) |

E3 2008: Animal Crossing Has Something to Say
We knew that Animal Crossing would eventually find its way to the Wii, but we didn't know it would be bringing a new gadget, the Wii Speak microphone, along with it.
Animal Crossing: City Folk keeps the familiar characters, look, and activities of Animal Crossing, but expands the world past your tiny town's borders to include a bustling city. You can visit old friends like Gracie the fashion designer in her shop, or just take a stroll through the streets. You can even don a mask to make you look like your Mii.
You can also invite several of your friends to come visit and hang out with you, which is where the Wii Speak mic comes in. Using the microphone, everyone will be able to talk to everyone at once, without drowning each others' voices out (or so it seemed from the brief video we saw, anyway).
Looks like a fun way to hang out with your fellow Animal Crossing-loving friends, and the screams of horror as you destroy your pal's carefully tended garden should come through loud and clear over Wii Speak.
Animal Crossing: City Folk is due out later this year.
