Wii music was at least different. This is a game that has been released twice already with almost zero difference in versions.

I guess WiiSpeak, A city, Wiiconnect24 capabilities and Online play are just more of the same.

 

Think the difference between Pokemon Red and Pokemon Yellow. Thats more akin to what this is like(not literal difference, obviously.) As much as I love Animal Crossing, just having a city isn't enough to warrent a full price purchase for me. DS had online.


Wiispeak is gonna be absolutely painful http://gizmodo.com/5087928/nintendo-says-f-you-with-one+time+use-wii-speak-code

 
If the formula isn't broken, don't fix it. Also about Wiispeak, why would you have to use the code more than once?

 

Exactly, if the formula isn't broken, don't fix it. Doesn't say much about change it, because if you don't change it, why not just buy the $15 AC Gamecube version if it is essentially the exact same game as the Wii Version. Thers a difference between "don't fix" and "don't change". They, apparently, chose to do neither.


And Wii Speak, what if you want to get it used? What if your Wii breaks and you need a hard drive replacement? What if you sold your Wii, and want to sell its peripherals too?

 

@tehsage: Yeah, its a pretty strange thing with me. I ove playing Animal Crossing, but I can always wait to play it. Sort of, a "I love it" but "I don't need it". Eh, yeah it is confusing...

I'm positive if you send your Wii in to get replaced, Nintendo will give you another coupon or something for your WiiSpeak channel.

 

Besides, I didn't feel like playing Animal Crossing on the DS so the Wii version was perfect for me. And they even given you the option to use your DS character on the Wii version.

I love how people said DMC4 was bad because it was the same thing with just better graphics. At least that had better graphics(new charater, story, weapons, new moves, etc...). But now they defend this saying that the formula is not broken and things like that.

 

 I never played DMC4, but I'm sure it's what fans want it to be.   Why should the formula of ANY game change for the sake of changing it?

 

 I agree with you that the formula may not change. My point is that people bashed games like DMC4 for lack of innovation and surely will defend this game.

I concur.  Is Animal Crossing different because it seems to be more like "Wii Mortgage Payments?"

 



Pixel Art can be fun.

well, how much could you expect, if Tales of Symphonia has some stupid review of 6.7 (for god's sake - it should be at least 9.0) then what will poor Animal Crossing get???

reviews suck, Animal Crossing is a game with personality (either you like it or you hate it)!!

another BAD review, the series is not improved?? how comes?
graphics are great (cannot be compared to GC, a hell of new items, customizations and so on, an extension of the city, how can it be more improved??)

also, there is motion control in fishing and some other things, i find the game awesome!! i'm totally addicted to it!! : )

and the game will have very big legs and will sell A LOT!

Doesn't matter to me. I've never played any of them. Everything will be new.

You obviously haven't played both Madden 08 and 09 to know they differences.

It matters to the fans of the series. If things worked that way, we would still be getting Super Mario Bros instead of a new Mario game, since not everyone ever had the chance to play that game.

I'm not bashing you, I know it will be a new experience for you, but for the millions of fans who played the previous games, there will be hardly anything new to get from this game.

@Pichu: The issue may be that the game hasn't changed at all, and if you have played the previous ones, there's no need to play this. That's how I interpret it.

wasn't the last 2 animal crossings.... fun? Animal Crossing is all about fun and it's aimed to those that want to continue playing this great series on the speak and looking at the new environment aka the city. and to those that haven't played it.

@Pichu, read the post I made above yours.
