Yep, that's me with my brand new Hotdog Hat! And yes, that is a dog eyeing it down... It's the current downloadable content item for the Animal Crossing on Wii (July 4th - July 18th). I guess since it's a North American distribution that makes it only for City Folk, and not Lets Go to the City players

Oh well! If your North American friend has the hat, they can order you another one from Nooks! haha! YES! Anyway read more... for the details to get the letter from Nintendo with the hat included as a present.

For those of us still playing Animal Crossing on the Wii, this is awesome! For those of you who haven't visited your towns in a while, stop in and check out your sweet bed-head and then log on to WiFi because today is the last day to get your Shamrock Hat! It almost slipped by!

Also in extremely related news, there is an official North American site dedicated to telling us about the DLC offer! Check it out!

N+ UPDATE: I guess this picture will automatically update when the new item is coming out! Kicky Sweet!

Welcome to N+. This December we bring you a header of Animal Crossing goodness... with Holiday festivities! This header wasn't created by myself. It wasn't created by the Cap'n. It was created by Jayvee! I'm not sure what everything is! I've never played Animal Crossing, but it sure looks weird and nice!

+Update: The wallpaper and the screenshot are now in effect! Thanks for Jayvees great effort in making December festive and Animal Crossy!

The official website for Animal Crossing: City Folk has been updated and you can now check out all of the goodies. The coolest thing to get from the site is a free downloadable calendar application (Mac or PC) that displays all the special holidays in the game, like when the next fishing tourney is, or the next "Bug-Off" competition.

It looks like anyone who gets the game Sunday, and not somehow earlier is going to miss a special fishing tourney that is going on Saturday! It looks like there is going to be a special fish to catch, and not just any fish for size.

One cool thing about the game that I recently discovered is that you can take pictures at any time and save them to an SD card, so you can mail it to your message board or friend's message boards. You can mail letters to emails and phones, but the game doesn't promise that everyone will recieve these pictures if you go that route.

- Woooo! I love my new town "Rosewood"!

Animal Crossing Wii, as a matter of fact is STILL freaking me out with anticipation. A lot of you, mostly kids, were pissed about what Nintendo showed at E3 on this game. This series is one of the best to keep to its original nature, and not wander too far off, because then it becomes something different entirely, and different is sometimes good, but not always. The sweet stuff that vanished from the DS version is back, like holidays, and animals doing other things than walking when outside are back. The new voice chat thing which is sweet, and a couple new newsifiers, like how the city area will show people you have registered as Wii friends when they are online, downloadable content that DOESN'T cost real money, screenshots from game to Wiiboard or Email, USB keyboard functionality for writing letters, Mii masks, and the new juicy-tasty part about the DS/Wii connectivity:

You can move the characters from Wild World into the Wii game (not sure about items/bells/clothes)
You can also move your travel data to the DS (Hmmm... what does this mean?)

Sounds good right? Right!? Awesome! The one downside is that the new microphone will NOT be packaged with the game, it will launch on the same day for $30.USD though. $30!? Still though, I am so busy thinking of my new town name I forget to tie my shoes sometimes
"Robotown? Rockwater? Robert Downey Jr.Ville?" - the possibilities!

I was playing DS on the train on my way home from work and I thought I'd share this Animal Crossing reference hidden in Hotel Dusk.

Nice.
