Ive been seeing alot of DS users around Ichigo's for a while now and I was wondering if Animal Crossing: WW was on your buying list?

If so, we can play together! Ive been sorta behind on my DS studies, but I found this at Nintendo.com



Players: up to 4 players
Release Date: Dec 05, 2005

I know Nintendo said the release date for Animal Crossing: WW was in November once, October another and even July, but December seems more reasonable.

Also, I was thinking we could start an Ichigo Clan :)

Lolz, an Ichigo Animal Crossing Clan, sounds good to me :)
Thing is though, I don't have wireless in my house:sweat:
I guess the only way for me to use it is in an Internet Cafe because they have hot spots.....

EDIT= i am buying it when it comes out =D

Yes! Another one in the bag!

Confirmed Features!

Perhaps the biggest change to AC:WW is the ability to connect to the Internet using Wi-Fi. For AC:WW features using Wi-Fi, see below and make sure to also take a look at our very own Wi-Fi guide.
There are many characters brand new to the world of AC:WW. Some of these characters are villagers, but many are characters to run new buildings and services.
However, many of your favourite villagers will be returning to the world of Animal Crossing for a brand new adventure.
It has been confirmed that there will be a hairdresser, and a barber shop. The barber shop will be located next to Nook's Cranny. It will be run by a character who appears to be a pink poodle. On your trip to the barber, you will be able to get a new hairstyle, and even a new hair colour!
You will be able to change and make your own constellations by visiting the Observatory. The Observatory is located on the second floor of the museum, and is run by what appears to be a female version of Blathers. -When you talk to her, you will be able to draw and create your own constellations to be seen by everyone who visits your village during the night. The moon will also go through different phases throughout the month.
From now on, when you visit The Able Sisters, you will be able to do more than just design and create clothing. You can now buy accessories such as eye patches, glasses, and scarves.
You will arrive in your town in a car, which could very well be driven by Kapp'n judging by his new outfit. You will choose your house, and house location by talking to a green duck instead of Nook.
A new item has been confirmed, a watering can. You will be able to take water from the ocean, and use it to water plants and trees.
It has been confirmed by Nintendo that there will be no NES games in Animal Crossing: Wild World.
The villages in Animal Crossing: Wild World have a more spherical look, almost like a small planet.
There is a special machine in Tom Nook's store. Every time you buy an item, it will add points. As your points accumulate, you will receive special items. This seems to be adding to, or replacing the lottery system the original AC had.
The stylus plays a big role in AC:WW. You can use it to move, talk to villagers, go into buildings, make textures, and sort through your inventory. Everything you need to do you can do with the stylus.
You can have up to four people living or visiting in a village at once. It has been confirmed that all players in the game will have to live in the same house, and have characters on the same game card.
As characters pay off their debt, their houses will grow, and have expansions that can house up to four different people in different rooms.
Many popular furniture sets will make a comeback in Animal Crossing: Wild World.
K.K Slider will no longer play on a box in front of the now non-existent Train Station. He now has his own café, which seems to be run by a bean-looking character.
Holidays are no longer a reflection of our holidays, they are completely made up by the designers and producers of AC:WW.
As of today, AC DS will not have Pictochat capabilities built in.
Animal Crossing: Wild World is scheduled to be released December 5th, 2005, and is rated E for Everyone (online experience subject to change)

Some new scans I found somewhere. Very nice stuff too! Shows the great graphics and what-not B)

I'm liking it a lot ^.^
Finally your character hasn't got horns anymore! This is sounding really good I can't wait!
I can't guarantee that I'll play you online though, but I will try :D

This is making me feel like playing it now actually, can't wait till Halloween because of the Halloween AC event =)

I'll be getting it, and I do have wireless.

Shiggity-shiggity-shwa.

Exciting stuff.

Yes! Thats 3 people altogether! We can have parties on holidays or just becuase! :)

BUMP

According to 1up who got a hands on try out of AC, you can teach your neighbors to swear.

I am so getting that. It's been on the top of my list for some time. I'm an Animal Crossing fanatic. So count me into the Ichigo's clan!

OH! Im making my town communist! Ill give out gray clothes and kill off trees out of my property line and make people act all mean! HAHAAHH!

I'm getting it! I would to play it with anyone from Ichigo's! ^_^

OH! Im making my town communist! Ill give out gray clothes and kill off trees out of my property line and make people act all mean! HAHAAHH!
Well, my town's going to be ruled by me, the all-powerful tyrant. I'll make sure to decorate my house like a palace and enlist all of my villagers into my army. Then I'll take over your town.

*FREAKS OUT!* I have to atleast try! ^_^ Good luck for everyone who enters! ^_^

I can't wait. I already have my money ready for the game.

Me too! But im so tempted to spend it on MKDS...

Anywhom, im a bit flustered. At NWC's site, it says my router needs the newest firmware to connect to the DS. But Im not exaclty sure its that easy. I hope getting a firmware for my router isnt hard..

EDIT: When I was doing some looking around for any new DS games, I ended up looking at some ACWW screens. Now, if your worried about the DS and its graphics dont. Its capable of doing better then the N64. I dont think the DS uses AA (or it doesnt alot) but sense the screen is so small you cant notice unless you actualy stop playing your game and bring the screen up really close.

I cannot wait for ACWW!

*steals a copy from NOA HQ*

And thus Animal Crossing WW is up and running. Anyone in Japan playing it?

December 5th, right betwixt my Finals.

Fantastic. -_-

A forum that im a regular member at has just posted a first impression of the NWC play for Animal Crossing. Be warned it contains spoilers..


The events that happen in "passby mode" (known in Nintendogs as bark mode) also happen when you play with someone over WiFi. I got a new constellation in my sky from one guy (let's call him M), and a message in a bottle washed up on the beach. First of all M came to my village. He chatted with the animals and we then arranged to go to his village. When we got there M had a letter in his postbox. It was from my neighbour animal Bianca!

Also, we left messages on each others' town notice boards for posterity. There is NO OPTION to erase messages on the board, so you can't undo any silliness that you try out when you get the game!

A third person, "E"', joined us in M's town, having read our forum post. We all went to E's town. I was comforted to see that E had also written a little "Yay, I got the game" type message to himself on his notice board

After connecting to Wifi for the first time I got a letter in my postbox from the game staff thanking me for playing the game on the very first day of release. A message from Nintendo also appeared on the town notice board, telling me about how today was Labour Thanksgiving Day.

I read in previews that the game's annual holidays were not going to be related to one particular country, but today is in fact Labour Thanksgiving Day in Japan. I also noticed there was a spelling mistake (in Japanese of course) in the message! Way to go Nintendo!

Contrary to reports, you are able to chat with people when they go inside buildings in your town. I watched a video preview on Gamespot or maybe IGN, which was being presented by a Nintendo employee, where he specifically said that chat was equivalent shouting something while outside -- it would be "inaudible" indoors. This simply isn't the case in the Japanese version. I was pleasantly surprised, but it makes a lot of sense. I wanted to go round and talk to E and M's animal neigbours, in the hopes of getting a letter from them someday, and I would be "off the grid" for chat whilst doing so, so unable to hear their plans etc.

Chat is fairly easy to use with the stylus, but one flaw is that there is no chat history display as in Pictochat. You can only see the last line each person said, and that stays on screen for about 30 seconds. So if you were doing something else and failed to notice the little bell noise that signifies a chat entry, you might miss out on some conversation.

A few things that were weird at first but I worked out later: if the host player presses Start to save the game, everyone's game gets saved on their respective cartridges and after a brief delay you continue playing online exactly where you left off. However, if a non-host player presses Start whilst visiting a host town, that player speaks an automated chat line which says "I want to save!". I didn't know this and thought the Japanese guys were just telling me this, and I was thinking, why don't you just save then? But when I later pressed Start myself it became clear.

A similar thing happened when both me and M lay down in the big bed that one of his neighours had. If you're on a bed or chair or similar you can't send chat messages. But what if another player stands in front of you and blocks you from getting up, and they don't realise they're in the way? Well, press A, B, X or Y whilst on a bed your chair and you get four different auto-chat lines: "Get out of the way!" "I can't get off here!" "Sigh..." and something else I forget. A handy little feature that shows how well-thought out the game is, but it's confusing if you get a message like that from another player without knowing they're automatic, or how they're activated.

There is a lot of stuff about the town you live in that changes from person to person (something I was able to confirm by playing on Wifi, because I don't know anyone in real life with a DS...) The layout always has the same buildings, but in different locations. There is always a river that flows out to a beach, and the lower edge of the map is all beach. Here are some examples of what varied between player villages (I didn't play the GameCube game much so sorry if these are all to be expected from that game):

-- the fruit on the trees (mine has cherries on a few trees, M had oranges galore)
-- the animals living in the other houses
-- the tune of the clock chime (which is also customisable)
-- the t-shirt design you start out wearing (mine says MVP, M's was "No. 1")

Customisable elements include the town flag, which is flown by the gate where you enter to play Wifi. You can also swap patterns between your clothes and the flag. Patterns cost a few hundred bells to make at the Able Sisters' shop, but you can make an umbrella, wallpaper, floor covering or an easel-painting out of them for free, and any number of those can be done simultaneously, not just one item per pattern. You could draw a design and apply it to you walls, floor, shirt and hat.

The player character's appearance has two basic forms, boy or girl. Accessories aren't customisable in a Sims way (which I thought they would be), but rather you get them from the other animals as presents for doing things, and I suppose the items you get will differ from village to village. So when you play online, it's doubtful two players will have the same look, but not because they designed a whole look when setting up the game.


Conclusion: this is gaming crack in its purest form. But you can play it anywhere. I organised the Wifi play on the Japanese forum at 6:30pm, and we started at 7pm precisely (my town chime rang as I was entering the gate!). Before we knew it it was half past nine. And this was playing with two guys I have never even exchanged an e-mail with before. Also since we had all by definition just started playing the game hours before, our villages weren't even that interesting yet. But it was still incredibly fun.

I can see myself taking the game to work,playing a little on the train in the morning, and at lunch break, just to get some stuff to sell and use the money to buy stuff for my house; or to water the flowers or think up constellations to draw and messages-in-a-bottle to write. Then at night try to find people to play online with and go to their villages to get items I don't have at mine.

Must-buy when it comes out in your respective countries.

This game sounds like so much fun! Like Mario Kart DS, I'm getting this the first day it comes out!

You mean the second day. Stores may get it on the 5th, but very rarely do they sell it on the same day..

I will find the game ASAP!

Also, if you need a good help faq for the game anytime, contact me because I know of a great one.

I was one of the first people in Canada to get Mario Kart DS because there was some guy whole just started working in the store and he sold it out of the box a day early.

^^ Hopefully that guy's still there!

http://www.animal-crossing.com/wildworld/

Whet thine apitites, O vociferous ones.

7 more days untill I get ACWW

Ah-ha! Animal Crossing has been out for 2 days now :p

*planning to try and mooch money of me mum and get her to bring me to the store later*

It comes out on the 7th for Canada...


...But I got it a day early! Whoo! I'm one of the first Canadians to get it. My brother had to pull another stunt but I have it.

My nickname: Wyvern
My town: Dragoda
My code: 1933-3420-3352

^_^ This should be fun.

I dont have a friends code yet (still looking for some info to regester for NWC) But heres some info on my town.

Nickname: RadDream
Town: IchigoWW

Yes, you heard it, my town will be dedicated to Ichigos in anyway possable. Watch out for my ever so popular Ichi-shirts in the near future B)

What, you don't know where to find your friend code? Just go to the portal and talk to Copper. There should be an option for it. He'll give it to you and then it will be in your menu.

You cant get it untill you connect to NWC at least once, and my router needs some firmwares first..

I think what the first person said sounds good i mean starting a clan, I may not be able to get in at first because theres some other games i want to play first but i'd join a clan if the rest of you decided to start one up:blink: :blink: (okay so i'm sleepy, deal with it

I wanna be in the clan. We just need more people on Wifi.

I lost my DS / my DS was stolen, so buying AC would just tantalize me. Otherwise I'd have it...

Oh no!... Thats just depressing

*holds DS tightly*

I made a new town, my old one was to small and everyone was WAY to happy.

Also, Im going to start posting jurnal logs. If anyone else would want to, just make sure you post it like this:

Jurnal Log-**/**/**

Nicknames: ***
Town: ***
NPCs: ***

And I will be doing it like I have one character, not two. I dont want to post two diffrent (or more) jurnals for each character..

Jurnal Log-12/10/05

Nicknames: Wasabi (male) Sushi (female)
Town: Oi Port
NPCs: 5

When I woke up I was really dizzy, so I just stood there. When I came down stairs I found that my house has been re-built! I was like "OMFG cooool!". So I moved my exsisting furniture around to the side so I had room to put more things in.

So when I open the door I was like "YES!". Yesterday I read the town board and it said that on the 10th there will be a snowstorm. I was a bit cranky when I first read it, because Able's Sisters didnt have any clothes for hardcore snow. But it was just a little snow! I was running around in it when this insurence guy followed me around. So I stoped and confronted him. He asked me a few questions, and when he tried to sell me some insurence I said no.. But he wouldnt stop talking no matter what, so I was forced to buy insurence TWICE! Yes, TWICE! All together it costed me 6K..

So after that I went into Nook's Cranny, the currently tiny store ran by a raccoon. But no fret, Its being rebuilt into somthing bigger tomorow. So after Mr. Nook told me some things, I looked around. There was a shovel that I bought, some wall paper, carpet..Oh! And there was an Ebony Grand Piano and what I heard was the Biggest Christimas Tree (fully decorated too!) in creation. I bought it all up for a total of about 10K.

So I went home happily putting everything I wanted in the house. After many designes I went with a Plush Carpet, Classic Wallpaper, Fire Place, A Candle, Wide Screen TV, a Cream Sofa, Modern Table and finaly the very special Ebony Grandpiano and the Christmas Tree.

So nothing after that really happened. I cought a fish or two and thats about it. But then when I read the town board I found out that K.K. Slider will be comming tonight! And that was one of the only highlights of my day (so far..)

How about you get a blog for that?

Lols, okay. I use my 1up blog to post my AC jurnals anyways, didnt know I wasnt really allowed to do that here X=

what exactly do you do in this game?

Think of it as a time killer. Its a really cute make over for The Sims, but a lot more fun for some reason. The "realism" in The Sims gets a bit annoying a lot (so does the graphics) but the jokes and silliness of Animal Crossing is a bit crazy.

Its either a time killer or a perfect game for casual gamers..

Try reading a review of either this one or the Gamecube version; it's their jobs to explain it better than we can. =P

Well here's mine!

Name: Stephen
Town: Hyre

Come on in people! MY gates will frequently be open!

Ok, I just made an unofficial dedicated server for Animal Crossing WW. My info is in my last post, so come on in if you want to!

I'm in your town right now buy you're sleeping! XD

Oh yeah!

Just to let you guys know, both people need eachother's codes to go to peoples' towns.

I... went out and bought myself another DS, along with this game. Set me back about 170$, but... meh.

Right, so, I just started my town.
Name: Pyramus
Town: Arcadia
Code: 5326-3739-1850

Yep, that's it. Visit!

Gahh! I feel so left out now T_T I just really want some means of getting my router to work T_T

~

Anywhom, I have a new K.K. song, and I think its haunted. At the end, theres three Whoooop's in one of those creepy, horror movie fashions. And whats more disturbing is the song is K.K. Lullaby O_O

Also, Im almost done with my second house upgrade! 100K untill I have a second room :wub:

Fishing's a bit harder in this game than it was in the GCN version, but I still managed to pay off my mortgage, upgrade, and get Nook to upgrade all on my first day. The sad part? I only have one new peice of furniture, so my house is completely bare other than my candle, box, tapedeck (with no music), and a screen with a painting of a pine on it. However, since Nook's closed today, I can't buy anything new... I guess I'll rely on the horrid taste of my villagers and their good generosity, eh?

I've added Wyvern and Stephen to my list, but I don't think you guys have added me yet.

I'm adding you right now and coming to visit. ^.^

I propose, since we keep missing one another, to use the Ichigos' IRC Chat in order to coordinate these things. From there we can do these things more easily.

My firewall sucks and I can only host people... Pyramus I've added you now!

Ive just gotten my 3rd room, and wow is my house big. I can live like this with out upgrading anymore (but I still will)

And I just got Nookingtons, with the haircut shop and a second floor! Im so happy! And heres my info:

Wasabi
Oi Ports
2405-7991-6074

My info is in my sig.

I got peaches and just got a pear from an animal. I haven't really gotten at all far in the game because I got it last night and have been unable to play much. Besides what came off from work, I've only paid 470 Bells of my first mortgage ¬_¬;

I got Apples, Oranges and Cherries :P

I got apples, oranges, cherries, peaches, and coconuts. ^_^

Let me visit someone's town! lol I need a shovel and more fruits.

EDIT: And I got a bunch of fish to sell. I can't wait 14 hours for Nook's to reopen! That's the unfortunate thing about expanding the store, it's closed the whole day.

EDIT2: Never mind, I was able to connect with someone and I bought a shovel and sold my fish. Then I was able to pay off my first mortgage.

I found Coconuts before on the beach and I burried them, a tree did grow, but no more Coconuts on the tree?! Its been like 2 weeks too...

I was so pose to pick the game up today! T__T I should be getting it tomorrow though. ^^

I went on with Asrialys and it disconnected... Sorry...

Meh, we saved. Except the other one probably didn't get his apples.

EDIT: Here I come. Let's see how long we stay connected. lol

XD

I just got peaches from my mum last night. I wonder where me mum lives though..

Anyways, who has shot down the UFO? I did two days ago. And for the record, the UFO doesnt go that fast. And I got a metroid from the guy in it :teeth:

I don't think they want to annoy players with a fast UFO. I have yet to see it. Haven't seen Pete yet either. Shooting down presents isn't enough. I need live game LOL

Anyway, did anyone with Wi-Fi get their Coin from Iwata? I think it started Thursday. I don't know how long it's supposed to last or if it's over already. You just need to go to your phone and request that you accept downloads over Wi-Fi. Then open your gates and you'll get mail.

I did it. I wonder if it's a special lucky feng-shui item?

Dont know. But Animalxing.com should know :P

OK! So I finally bought the game! lol I will add everyone once I get started and post my info up later!

EDIT: Here's my info! Add me! ^_^ Name: Raziel Town: Esprial Code: 2577 6387 9746....^_^
