Animal Crossing is due for release on the 24/09/2004
I've never really been excited about this game, probably because it required importing and messing about with a freeloader. But since I’ve read The Crossing Guardian ( [URL]http://www.nintendo-europe.com/microsite/animalcrossing/enGB/[/URL] ) i can't wait to play it. It also boasts Multiplayer, which i am really looking forward to. Just a shame we have to wait another 2 and half months for something that’s been out ages in America.
Anyone else looking forward?
The villagers also say stuff like 'I've not seen you for a week, Pyon'
Of course, you can name your vilager and town whatever you want and stuff, which is nice. You can also get the other villagers to say stuff, like, after a while they'll say something like 'what are all the cool kids saying', and you can tell them something like 'bumclouds', and, from then on, they'll finish nearly every sentence with 'bumclouds', or whatever.
There's just too much to this game to say over an internet forum. You really need to play it to experience.
>In real time...
Do your animals die if you leave them for a week?
What can I say? It's the most amazing and unique ame that I've ever had the pleasure to play on my Gamecube. For the first 60 hours, the menial tasks just seem a joy, and you don't question why half the village have lent a hens gameboy, or why the police don't question you for taking everything out of the lost and found. It's just simply superb, is what I say. The NES games make it even more special, and games like Excitebike and Balloon Fight just make you feel so special - it's nothing you couldn't get on an emulator, but the fact you're playing a Nintendo game ON A NINTENDO GAME just makes it that bit more special.
It's all in real time, as well, so when it's July, it'll be summer, the nights will be shorter, the days longer, along with fishing events and such, whilst when it's Junuary, it'll be winter, and the days are shorter, nights longer, and people make little igloos to gamble with you. Crazy.
Decorating your house is quite a good time, too. Finding the right sets of furniture, and placing it all perfectly can be spent hours on, as well as teh ability to make your own wallpapers, carpets and shirts... it's just amazing.
