Animal Crossing City Folk

There's a new Animal Crossing out on Wii! Is anyone getting this? I'm interested in playing it, but its going to be basically zero fun if I don't know anyone else thats playing.

The game really is perfectly suited to the DS. But hey, if its still a fun game, it doesn't matter where it is.

I'm probably going to get it for my daughter. Never actually thought of playing it myself. I don't see the appeal, but I haven't actually tried the series.

Animal Crossing is a Nintendo franchise where you move into a town inhabited by anthromorphic animals and spend the rest of your time there doing random things. Its a very relaxed game with few actual goals, but it is a ton of fun if you have other people playing as well. There is randomness that goes into the game like what kind of fruits grow in your town and what items get stocked at the store, and there are player-made outfits and flags and such that can also be shared. Everything moves at real time and there are events that occur on specific days and at specific times, etc.

Its a very chill game. It isn't something you can play for hours on end, but at the same time its a game you will sometimes want to just wander around in for a while doing nothing.

If other people get it, I'll be getting it as well.

The Wii speak thing would be cool if you could use it for Smash Brothers.

I'll wait after some more reviews come out. I'm curious to know if unit has to be supported by the game in order to work.

It does. As of now, Animal Crossing is the only thing that supports it.

Reminds me too much of My Sims for the Wii - my daughter was bored of that pretty quick. Looking to pick up Rockband for $99 from Buy.com I think.

(EDIT: Amazon)

MySims tried to copy Animal Crossing's design but it did a failtastic job of it. However, if the choice is between AC and RB, the choice is clear. Rock Band ftw. Rock Band 2 on Wii allows for DLC as well iirc.
