Nintendo commits to pre-Christmas release for anticipated Wii title, though no firm date announced as of yet
The European arm of Wii and DS platform holder Nintendo has confirmed that the Wii iteration of Animal Crossing will be released in Europe this December – along with a new name for the title.
Mirroring the recent announcement about the Australian release, the game will be called Animal Crossing: Let’s Go to the City in Europe. Also confirmed is the fact that the title will include the Wii Speak accessory, the first peripheral to allow online voice chat in a Wii game.
For the first time in the series players will be able to explore a big city as well as the usual rural dwelling. The game will also retain the successful ‘real-time’ mechanic seen in previous titles, meaning that the in-game time mirrors that of the real world. Time also continues to pass even when the game is not being played.
And considering the emphasis the brand has always placed on communication, Let’s Go to the City will wisely make use of Nintendo’s Wi-Fi Connect network to allow players to send letter, items and even visit other towns.
There will also be provisions for transferring data from DS title Animal Crossing: Wild World, and the handheld can also be used to transport characters from Wii to Wii.

Re: Animal Crossing Wii
I have a funny feeling this will be an irritating experience for anyone who doesn't hang about the house all day. The 'realtime' nature of Animal Crossing means that unless you can play during the day you will miss out of many aspects of the game.
Animal Crossing on the DS was mitigated by the fact that you could take it to work/school and check-in when you got the chance.

A point well made by poster no 2.
I loathe games such as these where developers dictate to you when you should play their game rather than you playing at a time of your own choosing.
Discarded Pokemon Gold / Silver for the same reason.
A cardinal sin in gaming if ever there was one.

i cant wait this going to one of my favriote games ever i heard that you can go to a town and get money out your bank acount and aswell theres a auction shop were you can bid and sell your items aswell and might even get a profit on your item. The only think i am wored about is that the controls may be a bit to hard as im only 9 and im not very good with nunchunks.
