Animal Crossing City Folk Makes It To The Nintendo Wii

While I played Animal Crossing Wild World on the Nintendo DS, I was so intrigued by it, that after paying off that mortgage to Mr. Nook and decorating my in game house the way I wanted it, I was left yearning for more.
So you can imagine how high my enthusiasm level must have been when Animal Crossing City Folk for the Nintendo Wii came out.
Set in real time like the Nintendo DS version, you still have to do all the initial things you have to do before you actually start playing the game. Like you still have to meet Mr. Nook, work for him for a while to get your mortgage payments going and speak to everyone in town.
And the good folks at Nintendo sort of reward you if you have been playing the Nintendo DS version. For in the Wii version, Animal Crossing City Folk, you have a DS Suitcase option that lets you choose items you like from Animal Crossing Wild World.
For example, you can get certain pieces of clothing you are fond of, like a shirt, or cap or even furniture from your DS home.
Another unique aspect of the Wii game: Animal Crossing City Folk is, you get to take your character to the city. And you do so by boarding a bus, but once you are in the city, there are lots of fun things to do.
You can go and have your hair done at Shampoodle or get a makeover. Or get both. Your choice. Also there is an Auction House where you can sell some of your stuff and buy more things from other in game characters.
When you buy items from other characters, these items will come to you via mail. So you don´t have to panic, if, after purchasing an item, it does not automatically show up in your inventory.
In addition, there is also a movie theatre or cinema where you can meet and talk to other characters. And wait until you connect your Wii speak microphone.
This operates as stated, like a microphone that lets you chat with other people who are playing Animal Crossing City Folk, such as your friends or relatives. You can connect this device via a USB port that works with an internet connection.
Also, do you remember Gracie from the DS version? She comes to Animal Crossing Wild World on certain days, but in the Wii, Animal Crossing City Folk game, you get to go to her store to stock up on her high priced line of clothing while you are in the city.
Keeping in mind that the game is being played in real time, remember, clothes are seasonal, you will see rain, or snow and there are things you can do during the day you might not be able to do if you say, play the game at night.
You can fish day and night, but can talk to most of your neighbours in the daytime. As they might be asleep or getting ready for bed at night.
In case you were wondering, yes, you do get to use familiar items like: the shovel, slingshot, fishing rod, etc. and there is a bank in the city where you can store your ´Bells´ or money.
And while you are playing Animal Crossing City Folk, be prepared for: plenty of dialogue, crisp and clear graphics and sound effects, you might have to write an in game letter or two, don´t forget to visit the city museum, but most of all, I hope you have as much fun playing this Wii offering as much as I have and I am in the process of still enjoying.
RATED E FOR EVERYONE. And can be addicting.
