robbalvey Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 So who here is getting Animal Crossing DS? I have already pre-oredered our copies. I hope that the wi-fi systems works a little better than it did on Mario Kart. From what I've been told though, as long as someone has their DS turned on and their "gate open" you can just wander into someone else's town. You don't have to "match up" like you do on Mario Kart. I plan on having my DS turned on most of the time while I'm work. Don't everyone come steal my fruit! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackyboxer Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I'm definently planning on buying it in a few months (have to take care of some other obligations first). I'm also planning on buying the original since we're getting a GC for Christmas. I've only seen videos of the 2 games, but I think I'm going to love them both!!

CoasterCrazy Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I thinking about buying it, I just wish that I had a wireless internet connection in my house. I would like to be able to play the wifi DS games online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Check out this fun review: http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3146050&did=1 Animal Crossing: Wild World NintendoDS Review from 1UP.com Though I am kinda bummed they did not include NES games or holidays this time. I kinda liked spending my Chirstmas hunting down the special Christmas items in the original game. Well, the online function I hope will be cool. I will just cut down your trees Robb instead of stealing your fruit... Oh, are you going to set a "requirement" on all those how visit? "Those who come visit Intamin, must help pluck weeds." I'm sure my GC Animal Crossing has a ton of weeds right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You CAN actually get this cool little item which turns any non-wifi DSL/Cable modem connection into a wifi hub: Nintendo's Wi-Fi Adapter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddymonster Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 THIS is probably the one reason I am gonna snag a DS this x-mas. I loved AC on the Gamecube. It's just one of those games that's too awesome to be expressed in words...cause if you do it sounds boring. "You can mail stuff, plant things, talk to people, fish..." See what I mean?

Homer Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Can people from different countries hook up? If so I might consider buying a DS. Ed, yes you can. Mario Kart DS has a worldwide selection on online play. As a matter of fact, recently I have played with a guy from Japan. Also, I played with Scott (from CoasterForce) recently on MKDS.

Teddymonster Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Man, we should have a TPR village. That'd be sweet. Too bad it's probably not possible to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeistdude321 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 This sounds really cool!!! I loved Animal Crossing for Gamecube (it was even more addicting then the Sims at the time). I don't have a DS, but it sounds like a great addition to the video game collection for anyone who has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I just returned home from getting my Animal Crossing DS game I loved the GC version so I can't wait to see how this compares. In fact, I am getting ready to go play it now. I'm looking forward to seeing what other people are doing on theirs. -Kristen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
