    I really like those connectivity and WiFi features! I'm so happy that we won't have to see an orange sticker on AC's box! The only thing I'm wonder about the DLC is whether it's already programmed in the game and we're just getting a key to open it, akin to the promo items in the DS version, or if it will actually be completely new. Either way, can't say no to new Nintendo themed items!

    Also, the fact that you can edit a shirt's front, back, and sleeves independently is awesome.

      Shut up, dude. This is good shit. Have you ever played the original Animal Crossing? Do you know how frustrating it is to spend so much time typing a 40 character code with a joystick and A button? Think of how frustrating it'll be if you had to type a letter to your friend with the Wiimote or something. The USB Keyboard will make up for that.

      And the free download content is priceless. More furniture and clothing and other items. I'm pretty sure there will be more downloadable locations, which more than makes up for the bland area in the original.

      This is the sequel Animal Crossing fans have been waiting for, so I don't think anyone gives a shit if this game doesn't lives up to your expectations.

    Oooh, here's an interesting tidbit: the DLC is completely new-not pre-programmed into the game and waiting to be unlocked!

    Oh knock it off. I should've known I was dealing with some immature 15 year old.

    I'm talking about the things that are good for the game to make it more entertaining for Chrissake. You're just too thick headed realize it because Forrest Gump is your bible.

    Lol, way to totally get off the topic. I'm talking about things that are good for a company that would actually make fans happy. You're a bitch who thinks because you're older you aren't an ass. XD

      And you're the most uninspiring fag on this whole goddamn website because you try to crack jokes about games that you've never played. You're making fun of him because HE was pointing out things that are positive for the game while you just blew it off with dumb bullshit about how Nintendo isn't giving fans what they want.

      I'm an Animal Crossing fan and what Jaw listed is what I want in the goddamn series.

      So both of you just *bleep*.

    Lol, I'm not cracking jokes, I was under the realization that Regie promised us more "core" software. Hmm, WiiMusic, Animal Crossing, and WiiSports. Really "core". When was I making fun of him?

    Seems I was just retaliating. But you figured that out, right?

      Unless you're serious right here, it was a joke. And it's not like Reggie was lying about what he said. They just haven't shown it off yet, so don't get your panties in a bunch about it.
