Animal Crossing: Wild World/Wide World

[Tyson]

I don't know if this has already been announced and I miss it, but anyway, as I was watching the keynote speech, a piece of boxart for animal crossing was shown saying either "Animal Crossing: Wild World" Or "Wide World" (it was a very quick slide).

[Nintenchris]

It was Animal Crossing: Wild World... and the box art rule's... and it was the box art was the one that was posted on the old forums!!!.... if any one has it please can you post it here for us all to drool at?

found it

It's called Wild World. The box art is cool with the globe, it truly gets the WIFI message across.

[Happenstance]

I absolutely cannot wait for Wild World. I think its quite possible that it will be the the greatest DS game for me, I loved AC on the cube and it is one of the only games that has given me proper enjoyment since the days of the Megadrive

[mario114]

The box art is great, and the game will rock!

[Tyson]

Ahh, and Tokekeke is in it. Woo!

The boxart does look awesome doesn't it.

[Girly hiyaz!~ Gamer]

i can't wait for this game. it's gonna be so awesome.

[DaOne]

heh www.animalcrossingwildworld.com is my site ;) some people at IGN didnt like me for buying that domain.. ah well, IGN pretty much sucks anyways.

[Jack]

That boxart's fantastic. I'm getting real Katamari Damacy vibes from it too.

[Happenstance]

Yeah I love the boxart aswell, now we just need to be able to hold the boxes in our hands as we are getting ready to play the game!

[Tailzo]

I cannot wait for this game. This and Sonic Rush will make my DS more than happy enough.

[BGS]

I'm looking forward to it but I wasn't a huge fan of the original game. I was really let down by how uninteractive the various daily events were. Plus, I still have my nes and kept getting games I already own.

[Mike D]

Definitely one of the best DS boxarts yet, if not the best. Can't wait to get my hands on this.

[Owen]

I cannot wait for this game! It has that autumn/winter feeling all over it! and I LOVE the boxart! :D

December 5th 2005 cannot come quick enough!

Anyone think they should include weapons to protect your town ?
Ok, maybe not weapons but some way to stop people attacking your village.
My wife would visit my town and bury her garbage and chop down my fruit trees so would online vandals be a problem ?

[Eddage]

Cannot wait for this game, love the box art, I don't think anything else has to be said!

I dont think it needs weapons, adding them would just be making the game more violent and thats not what its about

[Hellfire]

My god I can't wait to play this with you guys :)

[Bluejay]

This is definately one of, if not my most anticipated DS release from its announcement, as I didn't import the GC version and I decided to wait for the DS game. The idea of visiting other peoples toens and having others visit yours is ideal for this game IMO. The boxart is most awesome too.

[craig]

I didnt really mean having your character running around with sniper rifle.
I am worried that you will get people visiting your town and vandalising it.
Will there be ways to prevent this.

Im sure they will probably have it so visitors cant chop down trees etc.

[Tyson]

Im sure they will probably have it so visitors cant chop down trees etc.

Still, going around shooting people who even think about hurting your precious plants and trees sounds satisfying.

[ViPeR]

For me, the drawback of Animal Crossing for the cube was the fact that I wanted to play with other people and visit other towns but I couldn't. Multi-player is such a huge part of this game and I think it'll be one of the most popular, timeless classics on the DS.

[DaOne]

I'm purchasing the DS for this game alone, i never got the money together to get the GC version, so i hope this one is as good as that one, if not better.

[I like nintendo]

How will be able to acces the wi-fi I wonder? Will it be router+ broadband internet? Also, yeah the boxart looks awesome, And there is a car! Does this mean you can drive places??? And I worry about online vandals, maybe they get a fine and you get the Cha-ching? Or maybe you can tell the police officer? I don't know,but this is making me want to play AC on my 'cube right now.

A)You will need broadband and either a router/Nintendo wi-fi USb connector to play this.
B)There is no need to worry about online vandals; the only people who could get into your village(seeing as it is going to be just like the GC/N64 game in it's presentation)are you, the other three people who play on your cart and people who you give you town access details to; so basically, Freinds/Relatives/Online Buddies. You will also have to 'accept' them into your town each time, as whenever somebody tries to visit your village(when you're online)the new character at the town gate will ask you if it is ok for them to enter; so you'll only let in people you already know.

[I like nintendo]

None of my friends have a DS *is shocked* but, oh well,thanks for the explanation, I'm going to get broadband just for this (yep, I'm on AOL!!!)

[masaki86]

ah well, we kind people on revo-europe will probably post our town infor on here for fellow forum goes(i assume) so i'd say you'd get some visitors every now and then!!

[I like nintendo]

ok wow! I'll post mine when I get it... On a similar note: the nintendo WI-fi USB connector; does it just plug in to your compuuter while you're on the internet and you can play with any connection?

[Cubechris]

If you get Broadband get rif of AOL, and see you there.

Yes, just whack it into a free usb port. You can buy them already (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0006374PK/ref=br_ce_ts_4//026-2966580-7193200) but Ninty are going to have there own rebranded ones. It is the cheaper way to get a wireless connection. You could also play where ever you can get an wifi internet connection ie Starbucks or an open access point.

[Herr Dark Wolf]

I will definetly be getting this, looks very good. Though someone at NOE in an interview a while said that it won't be coming out until 2006 in Europe :(

[RedShell]

It’s another gargantuan mistake by NOE if true.

I think any games that use Nintendo WiFi connection should be released in all territories simultaneously, otherwise what’s the point of being able to play with people from all over the world if half of the world has had the game for ages and already moved on to playing the next big thing, while the other half (i.e. Europe) is still waiting. :mad:

[CommandeR]

The game looks amazing, and so does the boxart. This game owns :D

[Happenstance]

It is true. America get it Dec 5th and Europe are getting it First Quarter 2006, thats why im importing

[RedShell]

I’d import too, but then there’s the whole will the US version work online in Europe thing. Is there any news on that yet?

[Eddage]

I would imagine it would since it's a portable console! What would be the point in being able to take it on holiday with you only to find it doesn't work in that country?!

[Retro_Link]

Exactly!
It's going to work wherever; the question is whether you can trade items from a US to a PAL version; but i'd expect that to be yes aswell.

wohooo!!!

[craig]

I think thats a good idea having players share the one house.
I hope Ninty put out some good advertising for this game.
It just has so much potential especially with all the talk of them setting up free wifi hotspots.

[I like nintendo]

Can't... read... french!

meh, I'm going to buy it as previously stated, I just want to know what it says in English *goes to french translator site*
for you non french people

The official magazine Nintendo Power publishes some new details concerning Animal Crossing: Wild World on Nintendo DS. This new version on the portable console of foreseen Nintendo for December 5 next one to the United States should propose more possibilities in comparison with the basic concept than one was able to discover on GameCube. It will be in fact possible to play at several through the connection WiFi, four players will thus be able to play in the same town with an alone game cartridge, the big novelty consist in to place these four players in an alone and even house in which they will reside all, every player would not dispose therefore any his own house, it is a matter here to play in a cooperation spirit while dividing Corner to sleep, the bills, while defining together the possible settings for the house, every player will be able well évidement to install and move the objects freely in the piece. The American magazine promises us more details concerning this communication game in his next number, surprises should equally be unveiled, the train station for example will be replaced by an immense door that takes, through the network, towards of other towns, KK Slider should be able to produce itself in a new restaurant every week, etc. Moorish to come.

[RedShell]

Can't... read... french!
It's all in the attached pic in English + screens:

I'm pretty sure I'll be importing this, it looks awesome!

[Cubechris]

KK Slider gets to jam in a venue now. :) Awesome.

[Mimternet]

How good this game is depends a lot on the use of WIFI for me. If it's just a case of going and being able to walk around someone else's town that won't really cut it personally. If you could set up supplies links with someone online and perhaps go and buy and sell your wares at a certain time in someone else's town, or have to meet up for town meetings at a specific time in someone else's town (or something like this with more depth) then it will succeed in meeting my expectations.

I don't want an online Nintendogs bark mode, there needs to be lots of online interaction.

[DiemetriX]

I didnt really mean having your character running around with sniper rifle.
I am worried that you will get people visiting your town and vandalising it.
Will there be ways to prevent this.

As far as I know only "friends" can wisit your town. So don't invite friends that you don't trust with your trees :)

[I like nintendo]

But say you tell me your name and who you are, so I invite you in, but you diabolicaly (sp?) Cut down all my trees, and send me 1,000,000 peices of mail? Then what?

[thecreepingmess]

I’d import too, but then there’s the whole will the US version work online in Europe thing. Is there any news on that yet?

Versions with the same alphabet will be compatible with each other. So the Japanese version won't be compatible with the US one etc.

[I like nintendo]

Yeah, I heard that, it sucks, they should just have a translator built in...

[Triple_C]

I can't wait! I gotta import this.

[Waylander]

I dont have broadband and I dont know anyone else with a DS. Is the game good enough for just single player? I havent played an AC game before but I really want to get the DS version.

[Happenstance]

Yeah its definately worth buying just for single player. You should really enjoy it as you've never played it before. I absolutely loved it the first few months and played it every single day

[dazzybee]

Also, how many people can enter at a time, if its one that will be shit!! However, if loads of people can enter and we canhave fishing competetions and other unnannounced mutlipayer games (football, NES games etc etc) then it will be amazing, If its just a case of the cube game with online play, but only one person can go in and you cant do much, then stuff that, ill stick with Mario Kart!!

[DiemetriX]

only 4 people can be in the same town :'(

[Stefkov]

it would be great to have more, but just be pleased that it is going online, we can ask no more than a great game to go online

[dazzybee]

Do you mean 4 people from 'outside' or 4 in total?

As in how many people could I invite to my town at once?

[thecreepingmess]

The answer is this many: 3.
