Ready to finally join the legions of people enjoying talking to one another during gaming (what a CRAZY concept!!!)? Well, if you own an Xbox 360, you've been doing that for a while, but getting the new-fangled technology isn't for everyone, you know. At this morning's Nintendo Press Conference, Nintendo finally offcially announced Animal Crossing: City Folk, which looks like an excellent addition to the adorable series. It looks like you can do some new things, like get your hair done. Ok, great, that's cute. What else you got for me?
WiiSpeak, a small white device that is shaped like a half circle, will come packed with Animal Crossing: City Folk and will allow you to speak to your friends while you play the game. While I'd prefer a headset, I'm not going to complain about the ability to finally share playing a Wii game with other people and getting to hear their voices. I have to admit having this available to me makes me take gaming on the little white console a little more seriously as a shared gaming experience.
Despite all that, it's still just more Animal Crossing, and while it is a great game, we've all played it in various other incarnations. Are you excited for this new title, or were you hoping to see innovation beyond new peripherals?

Virtually.
I don't want to go down that road ever again.
Horrible conference.
I freaking laughed my head off when he left that barber shop, all I can think of was "wtf, Mii?"
but i don't expect that since they mentioned during the fishing contest at the conference that different fish appear on different wiis. man i wish i could get a cup of coffee with my friend (and more than 1 cup a day...).
i know i'm going to dump hundreds of hours into this no problem, but i'm not seeing much in terms of new things. Wild World introduced a lot, including the rolling landscape.
i'm just not seeing much forward movement this time.

I never thought I'd get this pissed about Animal Crossing...
WILD WORLD HAD THE HAIR STYLIST.
that shit ain't new. the mii mask is.
haha you upgrade the shop to nookingtons to get the hair salon with Harriet.
so one less new thing.
the online auction is new though. and an exciting idea.
This is not what I had in mind for our holiday game, Reggie.
This game looks AWSOME!!!
Playing games with this Wii Speak thing is gonna result in kids yelling at their little brothers or their moms coming into the room to tell 'em to do chores and what have you. It's gonna be fucking stupid and annoying as hell.
No thank you.
