Animal Crossing is such an addictive series of games that I've made a concerted effort to avoid the Wii installment. It's better for my health, which would really suffer from me obsessing over collecting fossils and paying that bastard Nook. Now that Amazon has offered the game for $20 today, it may be too enticing to resist any longer.
It's a Deal of the Day, so make sure you hop on over and grab it now if you're interested. This is the standalone version, meaning that it doesn't come bundled with the WiiSpeak accessory. That's even worse for me, as the bundled accessory was repellant enough on its own to keep me away.
If you guys don't see me for a few weeks, could you send someone around to my place to make sure that I'm not sitting on my couch, unbathed, wearing tattered clothes and muttering, "just one more fish," as I limply waggle a remote in my hand? I would really appreciate it.

So while I know its a quality experience I'll pass on it. Even if the low price does make me really want to reach for my debit-card.
Best of luck though, Conrad.
I'm sorry you're in the wrong article. Jim Sterling posted about Dynasty Warriors last week. We're talking about Animal Crossing.
Wait...
I just wish they would have tried. Even the DS version was better than this.
