This can be easily manipulated by change your regional settings/localions/etc

This kind of thinking looks like a hammer in the search of a nail. Just because they can do it, doesn't mean it's a good idea. It might be "neat" to look at for a few minutes, though...

The environment is one of the most important and encompassing aspects of a game and its adaptability with real time weather, while a novelty, is a neat aspect that I think few would find to be ineffectively implemented.

 Shame you can't ever change your location or anything, right?

lol, i wonder if reviews for the game will take this into account. 9.0 in florida cause the weather can change hourly and 7.0 in california where everday is sunny, beautiful, and monotonous. xD

That means Arizonans will never get to see snow and hardly ever get to see rain in the game...

Funny, as I own a Japanese WII, I can set any city I want... wether its in Hokkaido or Nagano where it snows in the Winter or Okinawa where its warm and sunny or Tokyo, in between. Same for America in where you have major different weather types spread out over the country. No matter if you live in California, if you will set a state or city in where it snows in the Winter, you can still see snow in Nights ;)

No if only it was real time weather it could somehow be a more interesting feature than random weather changes.

That's a really cool feature. I hope they use this a lot more frequently.

It will be fun with the floods in my city :)
