Animal Crossing DLC now online: Pikmin spaceship edition photo

This free DLC was supposed to hit about four days ago, but for whatever reason, it didn't make it out of the online gates until today. Personally, I assumed it was going to be cut altogether, because I'm used to Nintendo saying they are going to give me something, then later changing their minds. City Folk DLC has been pretty reliable thus far, but I'm going to stay bitter until I get the e-reader Super Mario Advance 4 levels and the Punch-Out!!, Legend of Zelda, and Super Mario Bros NES games in the original Animal Crossing that I was promised years ago.

Anyway, if you have Animal Crossing: City Folk and a wireless Internet connection, you should take the time to grab this cute little reminder of how awesome Pikmin is. Like all City Folk DLC, the dolphin is totally free, and will only be available for about a week (unless Nintendo changes their mind about that too).

Dear Jim,

I like spaghetti. I like how it looks like the moon when it's round. Let's go to a rock concert!

Love,

Mom.

This would be awesome if I was still into this game. Sadly unlike the time I had the gamecube version, I have like a million other games to play nowadays it seems.

You have every right to hold your grudge. The Super Mario Advance 4 add-ons are pretty spectacular. <3 throwable vegetables

This game would be fun if it was 200% faster. Like a speed run.

You, sir, need to get a Pro Action Replay for the Gamecube. That's how I unlocked Zelda and Punch-Out. In fact, Zelda was the only reason I continued to play AC.

AC still feels like primarily a DS game to me now. The Cube version notwithstanding.

I actually play more City Folk now than when it first came out. There are so many bugs and fish to catch in the summer, and I gotta catch 'em all.

@ Bassbeast- Yeah, I could do that, but it would sort of defeat the point.I already have I don't know how many copies of LoZ and SMB, but the fun was finding the method to unlock them in-game.

I did get Punch-Out though, through the Tzu method, and it was pretty satisfying.

You will never beat the game. EVER.

R.I.P Dolphin... That was the saddest part about Pikmin 2! You spend a whole game building the stupid thing when your IDIOT boss decides to sell it. FOR LESS THAN THE PRICE OF A BATTERY!

@Huimei

You fail at trolling...

Wow, it's sad that I thought that screenshot was from the DS version. Nintendo needs to update the AC graphics instead of making it look like an N64 game.

Good timing, I just started playing this again today.

@ PL- That screenshot is taken directly from my AC:CF game using the "save photo to SD Card" feature. Pics taken directly from the game are at about %25 of the actual in-game resolution.
