Animal Crossing: City Folk has a neat connectivity feature that lets you import your character from Animal Crossing: Wild World into the Wii game. However, all the hard work that you put into the DS game doesn’t carryover. You arrive in the Wii world with empty pockets. All the bells you amassed by digging up [...]

Tiny Cartridge pointed out an interview (in Japanese) with Nintendo president Satoru Iwata that I missed. In a discussion with the DSi staff he mentions some ideas he has for DSiWare applications like a Zelda Calculator, an Animal Crossing Clock, and street maps for large cities. Iwata’s idea is to sell these DSiWare toys for [...]

WiiSpeak is great for communicating online, but it doesn’t ease the chore of letter writing letters. The animal neighbors love letters. I imagine typing them with the virtual keyboard will be tedious. Fortunately, Nintendo has another option for “core” Animal Crossing players that speed up the internal clock to get more mail, Animal Crossing: City [...]

Animal Crossing City Folk's new feature is a connective city and WiiSpeak which lets people chat online. Online fishing tournaments and auctions are other connective features in the new version of Animal Crossing. Some of the items like the robot furniture and arcade machine are the same as the DS game.

Probably because there aren’t too many video game themed tissue box covers and they have favorite characters from the series like Mr. Resetti on them. [...]

Composer Kazumi Totaka worked on composing the score of first party Nintendo games like Mario Paint and the Animal Crossing series. What do the games he worked on have in common? A single hidden melody. If you go up to K.K. Slider in Animal Crossing you can get the song to play in your house [...]

Remember Kakariko Village in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past? One Animal Crossing junkie recreated the town on their DS. Ok it’s missing the chickens, but somehow sprites from the SNES Legend of the Zelda were brought into the DS game, which makes this a one of a kind hack.

  Even though eBay has been clamping down on Gamestop pre-sale orders one person managed to sell a Playstation 3 for a cool million dollars…. sort of. Just because it is sold doesn’t mean that the greedy eBayer is going to get the cash. The buyer, one “thomnook” from Animal Crossing, has zero feedback and [...]
