[GAMING] Animal Crossing: City Folk & Wild World
I know it’s been some time since I’ve made my last post; I’m not abandoning my blog, just experimenting with code lately and playing my latest addiction. The first time I saw this game, I really didn’t want to have anything to do with it because I thought it was just weird and I already had Harvest Moon to work with. So I let Animal Crossing just slide me by without giving it much thought. Well, this one girl I met told me about it and how she’s played the DS version — Animal Crossing: Wild World for some time now and I couldn’t resist. I love the fact that it does use real-time and the fact that you can get stung by bees or get sick is an added bonus to the craziness LOL!
Another feature available on the Nintendo Wii is Wii Speak, which comes with Animal Crossing: City Folk. So if you’re playing with friends and want to travel to another town, you can schedule through Wii Speak and go from there. But you’d have to speak with Booker in the Town Gate to access the Nintendo WiFi. Animal Crossing: City Folk also let’s you upload some of your content from Animal Crossing: Wild World.

Aw, it sounds like a mini-version of The Sims. So it’s online, right? Real-time? The world sure is shrinking these days.
In respond to your comment: I actually don’t even know the correct name of that Chinese dish in English, and let alone the recipe. All I have for reference is a picture and a dad who is very fond of secret family recipes. Though, I’m pretty sure almost every Chinese restaurant serve this dish. :P
You can play Animal Crossing: City Folk or Wild World both offline and via wi-fi on the Nintendo Wireless Connection. All you need is a friend’s code registered into your game, and you can ask one of the gatekeepers to either invite friends (up to 3) to your town to play with you, or visit some place else. That’s what the Wii-Speak feature is used mainly — for conference and scheduling online play-time together.
It is like the Sims, but you don’t have to worry about feeding them or making them fulfill their needs. The game also uses the 24-hour clock, so there’s always something going on and it celebrates holidays (and birthdays) specific to your region (based on your Wii settings). The only thing that’s not recommended to do is resetting the game because it messes up the outcome of your day (and Resetti will lecture you for doing so).
