"Not the type of game to be played for hours" Heh heh, uh, yeah! Totally not for an hour. Heh, not like i spent over 2 hours playing new leaf yesterday or anything... Heh, yeeeaaahh…
I'm curious. Did you even watch the review past the 2 minute mark? I suspect you didn't, since you thinking I said the game was bad wouldn't be in line with the video. It was #10 on my best games this year. I don't know who "most people" are, but your totally wrong. Most AC fan's wanted more depth to the game, more things to do, better online play, etc...This game is good, but it should have been better. Not just a rehash of a GC game.
Pascal- a sea otter who visits your town. He was in the DS version of the game. My first reaction when I saw him out of the corner of my eye was the same as yours. Then I was like, "Oh, it's Pascal- cuuuuuuute."
no there's plenty of new ones, and some of them have been altered a little bit. an example is the Master Sword has upgraded to a Twilight Princess style. Also, some of the clothes have been SLIGHTLY altered since you can make sleves and the back different.
the thing that makes animal crossing so amazing is that it's all about self-expression, creativity, and freedom. You can dress yourself, earn and spend money however you want, decorate your house, talk to people, and so much more without worrying if you'll "die" or "lose a life" or something. or at least that's what I think BTW say hi to Punchy for me :)
How to give ACCF more replay ability: Go into a hacked town, or hack it yourself, and you can literally see a town made from scratch. You can also do a bunch of games against your friends that you can make up yourself. Also, the game is $20 new now. Wild World isn't even that cheap.
This review is pretty much perfect. It's completely true in all respects. This is just a re-hash of the other Animal Crossing games that came before it, which is also why it is still good. I would buy it for myself if I didn't already have the GC & DS versions. btw, I love that your kids get involved in the review because it gives it a younger perspective. Thumbs up!
City Folk was basically a port of the DS version, but those two versions are quite different from the GameCube one. Plus, you can't complain about the fact that it's a remake of the N64 title, because it was never released in the US.
how is the online mode for this game? can I only meet with ppl I have as friends. or do I meet random ppl in the city? I waited along time for the gamecube version and I have it. but it turned buring pretty fast (unlike the good parts of the harvest moon series). THe DS version I probably cant get, cause the onlien feature works only on the DSi I think. I have the first DS (which is the best in my opinion) and no W-LAN in my room. is the Wii version worth it, or is it rather a single player?
@wiiviewr Sorry for replying to one of your comments, it must be annoying, but the wii speak channel is Available , you go onto the wii shop channel, then you type in a code somewhere (it tells you in the book) and you can download it
I played the DS version, but this one looks better since you don't have to wait for characters like Crazy Redd or Katrina to arrive in your town. Plus, it looks like you have access to the hair dresser from the beginning in this game, whereas you had to wait until you visited someone else's town to unlock that feature in the DS version.
Very nicely put! I love how the kids give their opinions as well! I'm getting this game for the holidays so i just wanted to see what it might be like. I'm probably not gonna get wii speak becuz a)i'm shy and b)my dog would bark at it. lol. Anyways, 5/5.
there could have been a lot more stuff they could have added other than a city, like swimming, robbing people's houses, actually getting a job to actually make money instead of doing favors and selling uneeded stuff, only get it if you are planning to play with friends because it is not as fun other wise, if you don't like to design your town, but then what is the point of designing you town if no one can see it
ok so basically all of them r the same? ok because iwanna buy another one because i lost my ds game one and i wanted tyhe same one but not sure is the wild world (lost ds game) or city fol (wii) were THAT much different reply please thanks!
I was looking forward to this review because I have online friends that have this game. I just don't like the principal of doing things you do IRL or can do IRL in a video game. I used to play Morrow wind all the time but now my video game tastes have changed. I can totally see the littlest wiiviewr just wandering around. When my cousin first got into video games he rented pokemon snap. He loved throwing apples at the pokemon and then gasing them.They got upset and he cracked up laughing.
I agree with you totally. How about some people you HAVE to visit in the city, like an orphange or something. Give us some reason to go into the city other then shopping. I have been playing my AC game daily and I can't remember the last time I went to the city.
i'm not sure whether to get this or AC wild world. i'm thinking WW because the series looks like a type of game that begs to go around with you wherever you go.
@IslandBros15 yes animal crossing have a game in nintendo 64 call doboutsu no mori and came only in japan its the same of the gamecube version only the gamecube version is the first game but with more new things in america
@benzelz He said that because if you played the original game legend of zelda for the NES the screens sort of 'slide' to the next as you walk to them, and he was giving an example of how he didnt like how both games did that.
I'm sorry, but you just pointed out something that Nintendo should have done. They should have a central hub where you could branch out and visit towns. They should also make it possible to toggle options of what can be done in your town. How about making so we can set up our own shops? As for expecting too much, when you release the game for Wii and you charge $50...then yes I expect more then a port of DS title. If they were going to do that, they should have charged $30.
Wait, so if hes a little kid that put a cap and a very unknown letter (imature) that a kid used. Im complaining that much but i just think you messed that bit up.
animal crossing for the gamecube was not a remake since Nintendo intended to release it for the American 64 but it was close to the end for the 64, wild world is a half remake but had wi-fi, new characters and the world was spherical, i never played city folk but what i think is that they may have new characters, a city to go into, and wii speak so people can talk to each other
I only played this game less than 10 times since I got it for Christmas 7 months ago. And don't get me wrong; I played wild world for over a year because I loved it so much, but this one just doesn't appeal to me after playing the previous game. Another reason is because what used to be events are now in the city, which doesn't really give me a motive to play often.
it looks exactly like the ds. you know i bought this on the ds 4 times over lol. i kept losing it (cause the disks are so small) or wanted to restart without erasing my previous worlds. can you timeskip in the wii version? since in the ds you could play for hours by completing a day then moving the clock on another day. if you can time skip i may buy it.
I loved this game when I played the first time on the DS version. It was the only time I had played an Animal Crossing game, and so it was extremely addictive and fun. But upon getting the Wii version, I was extremely disappointed in the lack of updates. And everything in the city is so... expensive. If you've played the Animal Crossing franchise before, I suggest just renting it to try it out. I don't like repeating an almost-identical game.
If you think about it, this game is quite twisted, there are fluffy animals, but it still lets you try to run around whacking your friends with an axe. lol.
this looks so good cant wait to get it, i really like the animal crossing series and this looks like a worthy addition, the game is probably quite cheap now too! :D
ok i have a question about this game. What's the process of making this game go online? cause i have to go through a whole process of like pointless stuff to have acess. i guess at the beginning of the game.
There are things in wild world that they actually took out of city folk. Like your neighbors portraits and some items plus you can't get as big a house.
3:17 Am I the only one who notices the creepiness. He's tyalking to Bill, who's a duck, which is catergorized as a bird. And in Bill's home there are two birdcages with birds inside! Perhaps two tiny slaves?
man lilwiiviewer is lucky. i would of done anything to get my dad to review games like this when i was his age. im 2 old for it now though :(. *sigh* great review :)
Animal crossing: City Folk is a lazy remake of the DS title. I'm sorry you don't see that but its true. Is the game good? Of course it is, its an AC game. However, that doesn't take a way from the fact its basically no different then the GC game...or even the N64 game.
Feng shui actually affects your gameplay. It will cause more luck with the reds (luck), you are less likely to get bees with green (health) and you CAN get extra money from your daily money rock for yellow (wealth). Plus it is pronounced fang-shway ;)
Did you ever play animal crossing on n64 didn't think so why? Cause it was only released in Japan and they felt it deserved more publicity plus u compare the japanese n64 version to the GameCube there are differences
Personally, I think this is the third best game on the Wii. My top two are of course the Zelda and Mario games. I'm glad they kept the game mostly the same and I have nothing to complain about. The camera angle is way better and I have grown so attached to my fav neighbors Joey and Poncho. Overall I give the game 9/10. :D
What do you mean 40 mins? I've played for like 6 hours once mostly online though. And also I'm sorry I don't like correcting you but I go to the city every day to change my shoes and hair :P But maybe it's just better for a girl my age?
i don't mind having all the games like when you have the ds version and theres a power outage or somthing that takes you away from the wii/gamecube you always have a fully charged ds and the same game :3
Animal Crossing 3ds is a remake of a wii game which was a ds game which was a remake of a gamecube title which was a remake of an n64 game good gravy lots of remakes
@wiiviewr Animal crossing has about 5 games. Wild world for DS, city folk, city. They are all for different different game costels. if you dont have a wii you can play on ds. Animal crossing is like for making ur own town and seeing how ur life turns out in a gameplay adventure. Also you can use animal crossing to collect items or rare things. And you can get animal crossing for £12 not 15
"Not the type of game to be played for hours"
Heh heh, uh, yeah! Totally not for an hour. Heh, not like i spent over 2 hours playing new leaf yesterday or anything... Heh, yeeeaaahh…
this is a AWESOME game! who's with me?
Me! Cus I have this game. ..lol :D
Wiiviewer : i intent to revisit this game in a couple of months .
Me : that never happened!
Their game broke and he never bought it again I think
It's not the same as wild world. Do your research. There are new stuff and villagers and there is a town centre
I'm curious. Did you even watch the review past the 2 minute mark? I suspect you didn't, since you thinking I said the game was bad wouldn't be in line with the video. It was #10 on my best games this year.
I don't know who "most people" are, but your totally wrong. Most AC fan's wanted more depth to the game, more things to do, better online play, etc...This game is good, but it should have been better. Not just a rehash of a GC game.

@IslandBros15 as wiiviewr said, its was japan only, thats why the GCN has a subtitle (population growing)
I agree. You can play for hours, or even more when you are online!
no there's plenty of new ones, and some of them have been altered a little bit. an example is the Master Sword has upgraded to a Twilight Princess style. Also, some of the clothes have been SLIGHTLY altered since you can make sleves and the back different.
@GamerCherri actually if you think about it all they added was a town and not much more. it definately needed more change
the thing that makes animal crossing so amazing is that it's all about self-expression, creativity, and freedom. You can dress yourself, earn and spend money however you want, decorate your house, talk to people, and so much more without worrying if you'll "die" or "lose a life" or something. or at least that's what I think
BTW say hi to Punchy for me :)

3:22 well there is the episodes which u can do which tells you about some of their back-stories
anyway great review i like em! ;)
@MotherBound1 I screwed up. I spelt Ness with one N on accident. "So how ya doing Nintendo Entertainment System, oink?" "Don't call me that."
Ooooh, about the begining, I'm glad you shortened it a bit. I really love the begining ^_^
I just got this game 3 days ago, been playing it on Gamecube and DS. This is my favorite, I still love this series.
JR Gamer:Do You Really like running arond Littlewiiviewer?And plus do you have all the games in the series?
I wish you could play it with a friend on the same wii with 2 remotes. In my opinion that'd be a great addition
This review is pretty much perfect. It's completely true in all respects. This is just a re-hash of the other Animal Crossing games that came before it, which is also why it is still good.

I have never played any of the Animal Crossing series, but I am probably going to get this for Christmas. I hope it's fun.
What are Mario & Luigi doing from 3:45 to 3:47 on the arcade machine?
@wiiviewr wait im condused there is a animal crossing game on the wii called animal crossing: lets go to the city, is this the same game?
@Amyyx1994 i just got this game of my friend. its alright im wondering when you do the first job for tom do you do any more other jobs aswell?
@benzelz He means that the town was seperated in blocks like the original Zelda game.
you can click your person to a spot or use the nunchuck
how is the online mode for this game? can I only meet with ppl I have as friends. or do I meet random ppl in the city? I waited along time for the gamecube version and I have it. but it turned buring pretty fast (unlike the good parts of the harvest moon series). THe DS version I probably cant get, cause the onlien feature works only on the DSi I think.

@wiiviewr Sorry for replying to one of your comments, it must be annoying, but the wii speak channel is Available , you go onto the wii shop channel, then you type in a code somewhere (it tells you in the book) and you can download it
what do you use to record your gameplay footage?
I played the DS version, but this one looks better since you don't have to wait for characters like Crazy Redd or Katrina to arrive in your town. Plus, it looks like you have access to the hair dresser from the beginning in this game, whereas you had to wait until you visited someone else's town to unlock that feature in the DS version.

ok so basically all of them r the same? ok because iwanna buy another one because i lost my ds game one and i wanted tyhe same one but not sure is the wild world (lost ds game) or city fol (wii) were THAT much different reply please thanks!
Hey man, love the videos you make, you're very accurate at this stuff. But I've seriously played Accf 1,400 hours.
I was looking forward to this review because I have online friends that have this game. I just don't like the principal of doing things you do IRL or can do IRL in a video game. I used to play Morrow wind all the time but now my video game tastes have changed. I can totally see the littlest wiiviewr just wandering around.

when they move away is the saddest part, i miss whiteny, the first villager i met
@MegaGhidorah
Yeah, plus I think I read something about him being related to this fabled demon type thing. He runs a black market too, so yeah.
i'm not sure whether to get this or AC wild world. i'm thinking WW because the series looks like a type of game that begs to go around with you wherever you go.
maybe they coulv'e had something where store owner in city will still arrive in town, but when they arrive, they give you items for half price.
alright, it's been 6 months like u said
i can't wait for it!
i'm actually so glad they didn't change it.. i REALLY freaking loved the DS version, but my DS broke, so now i'll be buying the Wii version. i'm glad.
just in time for thanksgiving
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
@benzelz the legend of zelda, the orignal one, ever hear of it or are you still trying to get past wind waker
the thing about the DS and WII is the missing NES games that was the 80% of the game right there
I remember once playing this at a friend's house. She hated it how I would always sleep in other peoples' beds.
It's been 8 months since you made this game. When are you making another one?
@IslandBros15 yes animal crossing have a game in nintendo 64 call doboutsu no mori and came only in japan its the same of the gamecube version only the gamecube version is the first game but with more new things in america
@benzelz He said that because if you played the original game legend of zelda for the NES the screens sort of 'slide' to the next as you walk to them, and he was giving an example of how he didnt like how both games did that.

Wait, so if hes a little kid that put a cap and a very unknown letter (imature) that a kid used. Im complaining that much but i just think you messed that bit up.
He wasn't on it yesterday and somebody had sent him a letter saying they were moving house. When he found this morning, he was sad. XD
even being fully aware that this is essentially just a nicer looking version of the gamecube animal crossing, i still want it lol
I never had an NES, so that took all the nostalgia out of it.
As a Muralist for the game yes I do play for many hours at a time.
@IslandBros15
It only came out in Japan.
animal crossing for the gamecube was not a remake since Nintendo intended to release it for the American 64 but it was close to the end for the 64, wild world is a half remake but had wi-fi, new characters and the world was spherical, i never played city folk but what i think is that they may have new characters, a city to go into, and wii speak so people can talk to each other
Well, in the original Animal Crossing, there was acres, and that's how you moved around. There was an odd transition from acre to acre.
Something tells me that the big Wiiviewer WOULD have chosen rent, but Animal Crossing isn't really a game that you can rent.
Is Joan the turnip peddler in the game? She still vists on sundays, right?
I only played this game less than 10 times since I got it for Christmas 7 months ago. And don't get me wrong; I played wild world for over a year because I loved it so much, but this one just doesn't appeal to me after playing the previous game.

You can point and click or use a nunchuck if you have one. c:

If you've played the Animal Crossing franchise before, I suggest just renting it to try it out. I don't like repeating an almost-identical game.
its been 2 years, when is this re-review coming out? lol
If you think about it, this game is quite twisted, there are fluffy animals, but it still lets you try to run around whacking your friends with an axe. lol.
so ACWW didn;t have nes games like the gamecube did but does ACCF have NES games?
he soooo right, the animals do grow on you and you do become sad if one of your favorite move away. :(
If I liked the first Animal Crossing but haven't played Wild World, should I get this?
this looks so good cant wait to get it, i really like the animal crossing series and this looks like a worthy addition, the game is probably quite cheap now too! :D
@TheNintendoer I noticed that as well and bought it via Gamestop online
ok i have a question about this game. What's the process of making this game go online? cause i have to go through a whole process of like pointless stuff to have acess. i guess at the beginning of the game.
There are things in wild world that they actually took out of city folk. Like your neighbors portraits and some items plus you can't get as big a house.

@erinb2422 i think its just testing out with new controlling aspects
No, there are still a wide variety of new ones... But the majority of items are from the previous games...
Animal crossing: City Folk is a lazy remake of the DS title. I'm sorry you don't see that but its true.
Is the game good? Of course it is, its an AC game. However, that doesn't take a way from the fact its basically no different then the GC game...or even the N64 game.

I have WW and I am soo excited to get CF! I'm buying it really soon, or I'll be getting it for christmas!
i love animal crossing! it is a great game and it never gets old to me
I happen to love animal crossing, so id get this one. This version and the ds are my favorites.
they changed things up in new leaf ads to get the series moving along
Did you ever play animal crossing on n64 didn't think so why? Cause it was only released in Japan and they felt it deserved more publicity plus u compare the japanese n64 version to the GameCube there are differences
He used the D-pad to quickly go through the equipment probably.
Personally, I think this is the third best game on the Wii. My top two are of course the Zelda and Mario games. I'm glad they kept the game mostly the same and I have nothing to complain about. The camera angle is way better and I have grown so attached to my fav neighbors Joey and Poncho. Overall I give the game 9/10. :D
What do you mean 40 mins?
I've played for like 6 hours once mostly online though.
And also I'm sorry I don't like correcting you but I go to the city every day to change my shoes and hair :P But maybe it's just better for a girl my age?
Man you do great reviews.
i don't mind having all the games like when you have the ds version and theres a power outage or somthing that takes you away from the wii/gamecube you always have a fully charged ds and the same game :3
@MotherBound1 I called my town on the DS version Onett too, and on the Wii version, I named my town Threed.
It's not a remake :D Have you seen the animal crossing 3DS photos ?
What if those same,reused elements are the reason you like Animal Crossing?
But yeah..I do with the townsfolk could interact more.
Animal Crossing 3ds is a remake of a wii game which was a ds game which was a remake of a gamecube title which was a remake of an n64 game good gravy lots of remakes
So, this would be a great game to buy if i have never played an animal crossing game?
Great review...love your videos.
I started playing this game like 2 weeks ago and I'm already hooked.
About 5 times because that 5th is one coming soon for the 3DS
@wiiviewr Animal crossing has about 5 games. Wild world for DS, city folk, city. They are all for different different game costels. if you dont have a wii you can play on ds. Animal crossing is like for making ur own town and seeing how ur life turns out in a gameplay adventure. Also you can use animal crossing to collect items or rare things. And you can get animal crossing for £12 not 15
you know what's funny...reggie actually said in an interview this game was directed to the hardcore gamer......yeah....*looks down in shame*
i have played the gamecube version but not the ds version so i think it will be somewhat fresh to me
