I'm wondering, I'm curious! If you're a fan, don't flame me. I'm ambivalent towards the game right now but I hear no chatter over City Folk or any excitement for that matter pertaining to the next installment in the series.

Is this being passed over? Is this going to be swept off store shelves due to the desperate need for people to have a Wii game that's good. What do you guys think?

And cue Al3xand3r...

I really want it to be great.

I honestly do, because it's pretty much the only thing Nintendo has. Sure, there's Madworld and Pikmin 3, but they're just not enough.

See, while someone like Miyamoto is sitting in his office, smirking gallantly thinking of which boring, mundane real-life activity he can poorly mimic next, someone like Cliff Blezinski or Ted Price is figuring out how to make their games bigger and better.

I never was interested in the Animal Crossing games myself... not really my thing.  I do expect some more chatter about the game and a review from Jeff, probably the biggest Animal Crossing fan around here.

And it will be swept off shelves.  It's Nintendo.

I am looking forward to it.  Only Wii game I have any interest in, but it still looks like a lot of nice, harmless fun.

No, i've never been a fan.

Yeah, I love Animal Crossing. I enjoyed the GameCube version much more than the DS, though. This version will probably be another nostalgia trip. I hate the casualizing of the user interface (a weak argument, but it still irks me..). The motion controls also don't do anything for me. I guess I want innovation but not too much to stray away from the genuine formula. I don't know if I really want to lay down 50 kahunas on this..

I love Animal Crossing. I skipped the DS version and I'd get the Wii game but I already pre ordered Left 4 Dead and Banjo. I might get it next year... It might take up too much of my time.

I never played Animal Crossing before. I want to try it.

"I never played Animal Crossing before. I want to try it."

I really want to.. but it just feel like the same old stuff. I really wish they would have changed it up more by added new game play mechanics or maybe changing the graphics (I always thought this game would be good cell shaded)
I think if I didn't play Wild World between the first and this I might be more excited.. but I'm kinda of worn out on it now.

You should pick up the Gamecube version if you have it or a Wii, its truly something special."

I really can't wait. It's the only game all of my family and I can play together.

Why wouldn't I just get the Wii version, since it seems to be the same game?"

I'm sure there are plenty of people looking forward to this game. I was/am a huge fan of both the GC and DS versions, but I have absolutely no interest in this game at all.

No. I am Playing Animal Forest Plus. I am taking pictures of all my cool neighbors... j/k I got sick of it after Wild World(?). Nothing new but I did like the series.

I'm not very excited about it because it seems like the same game as the other two. Does anybody know what the actual differences are between City Folk and the GC/DS games?

Not in the slightest bit.

I hate Nintendo and Animal crossing, because they're dissapointing. And I will be dissapointed again. But yes I will get this game.

no.

I was until I saw the near complete lack of change over the previous games in the series during the E3 showing. This was one of my most anticipated games of the year, but it seems they haven't really added much of anything to it or really made any improvements. For a game that you need to invest such a large amount of time in, I see no point in bothering when I've already made so much progress in the GC version and this new one is almost the same game. I sure hope I'm wrong and it offers plenty of new stuff to keep me interested, but from what I've seen, it sure doesn't look that way.

I still have not justified my Wild World purchase so I doubt I will be getting this one anytime soon. Played the life out of the original on the cube and got the second when it came along, but it turns out I never played the thing at all. I have tried making a town like 3 times now but I always get bored a few days in...

I don't think there's a lot of hype because Nintendo knows that all the people who've bought the last two games will surely buy this.

Don't be afraid, I won't flame you. I am a fan of the DS version. So addictive!  And so I am looking forward to this and Wii speak.

Yes. Even Jeff cares about this game, and Jeff is king of all giant bomb. You should bow down to him and Animal Crossing!!!!!! (I'll stop exaggerating now)

Animal Crossing was the reason I got a GameCube originally. I was intrigued by how things could change like things change in real life, and that there were creatures to give me free food, furniture, and make fun of me (reminds me of my parents). I played the game religiously for months, but eventually grew tired of it and moved onto other titles like Super Smash Brothers Melee, Chibi-Robo, Wind Waker, Tales of Symphonia, and Pikmin.

Ultimately, the game felt a bit empty with only myself running around in town. When the DS one came out, I watched my other friends play it and tried it on my sister's DS. It didn't seem different enough for me to want to play it.

Now that it's coming out on the Wii with sound capabilities and what seems to be identical gameplay completely all around, I don't think I'll get the title. What I need to buy it is the following:

• More variant townsfolk (meaning more species, characters, and more personalities rather than only the existing cardboard cut-outs, though I do love those).
• More things to collect (not just furniture, wallpaper, and floortiling wise. Other things to get. More NES games, new things, too).
• More events.
• More things to do with the villagers (don't go thinking any beastiality ideas. Maybe shooting them down, but no sex)
• Maybe bigger towns
• How about an icecream parlor that gets me icecream in my own living room? Ehy? ;)
