I'm getting tired of saying "Nintendo Media Summit," but that's where all the news is coming from today.
The day-wasting virtual life game with fur (Nintendo calls it "community simulation") comes to us on November 16th. As you probably already know, Animal Crossing: City Folk is the first title to use Wii Speak, the set-top TV microphone/speaker. Up to four players in your own home can work together (well, alternating control) to paint the town red.
You'll never leave the house again if you're trying to collect every item, as Nintendo says that there is over 2,400 of them.
Joining favorites like K.K. Slider, Tom Nook, and that as*hole Mr. Resetti are new characters like Festivale host Pavé and Bug-Off judge Bud. Also, some of the occasional visitors of the older Animal Crossing games have now set up permanent shop in town for City Folk.
Finally, the DS Suitcase mode lets you carry your character from your Wii console to a friend’s IRL house. You can also import your character from Animal Crossing: Wild World DS to City Folk. Let the day wasting commence!

There better be minigames for fishing and other such things. Maybe an arcade in the town?
Come on, that'd be great fun to collect shit by playing minigames in AC, it'd be the first time I'd give a shit about flailing the wiimote wildly, because if i do juuuust right, I'll get that fucking Arwing and put it in my goddamn living room.
When AC for the 'Cube first came out me and my three brothers played the hell out of it, and loved every minute. We actually had to schedule half hour playtime blocks just to keep things fair. I'll always fondly remember being the first one to get the fishing pole and putting it up for sale at a yuuge markup. Good times.
