Nintendo has released a new E3 trailer for latest edition of the Animal Crossing series on the 3DS. Basically Animal Crossing is a life simulation game, think the SIMS only Nintendo style. The series has been featured on the Nintendo GameCube, Wii, and DS.
Anyone else out there in the world looking forward to this game?

Animal Crossing Ahead Forums
The Animal Crossing Ahead Forums are probably one of the best resources for Animal Crossing information and discussion. I used to frequent the site a lot when I was playing Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk daily. I especially liked the Trades and Meetings Category for setting up online trades with other players or bidding on auctions or auctioning off items I didn't need anymore.
The site had been down for the majority of this year I believe but I found yesterday that it was back up and running. Check it out. As I said, definitely a great resource for information as well as a great place to find people to play with online.

Return to Animal Crossing?
Maybe. I dusted off the old Wii last night and popped in Animal Crossing: City Folk. The last time I had played a full day within the game was on March 8th! I've been reluctant to play the game since my Wii is on it's last leg. I figure what's the point of playing if I'm going to purchase a new Wii sometime in the near future and have to start a completely new game of Animal Crossing (there is no way to transfer the save game files from one Wii to another).
I guess I may try to get back into the game for now and if I do purchase a new Wii I can always connect them together through the Internet and move over any items I want to keep from the first save game file. To make a long story short, perhaps I'll be updating a bit more often.

Animal Crossing 3DS Trailer Impressions
From Gamespot:
"Who would have guessed that collecting furniture and cutting down peach trees could be fun? But Nintendo did create a franchise that's built upon the very real tenets that accruing lots of stuff is reward enough for a job well done, and of course a new version has to grace its latest system. The 3DS version of Animal Crossing looks a lot better than the previous three renditions, though, and not just because of the extra dimension. We came away itching to dig holes in the ground one more time after seeing the first footage of the latest Animal Crossing.
There isn't much gameplay in the short, noninteractive trailer, but one thing is certain: This is the best-looking Animal Crossing yet, surpassing even the Wii version. The camera is zoomed in a lot closer to the main character, and the extra detail on your protagonist and the environment is immediately apparent. The trees look particularly impressive. The bark and leaves look much more vibrant, and the 3D effect when running through a forest is a treat. The inside of a home is just as stunning. You can now rotate the camera to get a look at everything you've collected. The items in the demo home included a model train set and a drinking water bird, and it was fun just to stare at them because they were so detailed.
There's no word on a release date or extra activities for this latest Animal Crossing, but the visuals are certainly impressive. Keep your eyes on GameSpot for more information on this collect-a-thon as soon as we find out more."
Do you hear that giant sucking sound? It's my social life once I can get my hands on the latest installment in the Animal Crossing series...

Animal Crossing in 3-D?
Nintendo just announced details about their new 3-D handheld system, the Nintendo 3DS. I noticed a few sites have Animal Crossing as a game being developed by Nintendo for the system. Not knowing much about the new system, what are some of the possibilities for a new handheld Animal Crossing game? Discuss.

Lighthouse!
I haven't had a whole lot of time to play Animal Crossing: City Folk lately but I plug away at it when I can. I was finally able to save up enough money to save up for the lighthouse. Normally it shouldn't have taken me this long to save this much money but I've been buying all the Gracie Grace furniture every four months and it's been depleting my savings!
Somehow I thought the lighthouse would be bigger, maybe I should've got the windmill!
Fashion update! Going with the pirate theme these days. Shiver me timbers....Wednesday, February 24, 2010

Animal Crossing Wii Case Mod
I like the wood look encasing on the Wii and controller and the Animal Crossing logo on the controller as well but I'm not sure about the picture on the side of the Wii. As Wii case modifications go, this one is pretty lame, but it's the only one for Animal Crossing I could find online.
Valhalla Residents: Opal
Name: Opal
Type: Elephant
Catchphrase: "Snoot"
Birthday: January 20
Opal is another one of my newer residents in Animal Crossing: City Folk. Her character type is snooty, my least favorite trait for the animals in the game. Since I'm not too fond of her, she'll probably never move!

In Opal's defense, she's only the second elephant I've had in an Animal Crossing game, so that makes her presence a little cool.
