Oh! When I was looking around, about the same time I found out that the Wii will have the Speak Channel, I found out about Animal Crossing: City Folk for the Wii would be coming out soon! It looks really interesting, since it will take advantage of the “Speak Channel,” and it will be coming out with the new urban city area. It looks pretty interesting, since I really enjoy the other Animal Crossing Games.

The one thing that caught my eye is the new urban city area. You can visit Gracie in this area, and you can go to the theaters. I’m not sure of the other things availible in the urban city area just yet, hopefully more information will come out soon.  I am kind of curious if Gracie’s boutique will be replacing the “Abel Sisters” because I don’t want them to go! From the video, the salon will also give you makeovers and other options besides just haircuts now. Apparently the makeover is actually a “Mii Makeover” and you get the face of a Mii, which looks pretty creepy on your AC character.

You can now trick-or-treat for Halloween, and Easter is “Bunny Day” in AC, and you can now hunt for eggs. I’m not sure on all the details yet, but the ones I’ve read already make it seem pretty interesting. Besides the parts mentioned above, most of the rest of the features are like the previous Animal Crossing games, which is good and bad. Of course, since it’s on the Wii, there are more possibilities, like the Speak Channel allowing you to talk to people through Wi-Fi. There isn’t a specific release date yet, but it is coming this holiday part of the year. So don’t forget to ask for it for Christmas! (I might ask for it too ^_^)

Ok…so I got MySims last year. I got both the DS version and the Wii version. The Wii version in my opinion was much better. I liked it very much, but due to my short attention span, I only play it every now and then. So when I went to GameStop with my uncle to get a game he was ordering, I ended up finding a slight shock.

Apparently, they are soon releasing the MySims Kingdom, where you take care of a kingdom, so it’s more of a medieval-esque look. There are some creatures, and you build different types of things. It’s pretty much the same as the regular MySims, but it kingdom and medievalized. There isn’t much information on it, because I’m currently checking out Nintendo.com, and they only have a tiny overview.

It’s kind of odd, it says that the game will be released on Oct. 28 for the DS version,  and Q4 for the Wii version, but I saw them both at GameStop, their boxes at least. I wonder if I missed something and it wasn’t really on sale or something. But it sure did look like it…Kind of weird, but oh well.

I looks pretty much the same as the usual MySims, so I won’t find myself getting that. I somehow have a certain vibe that my friends might, so I’ll get my information from them. Well, don’t forget to check it out!
