The official boxart has been revealed. It's the one on Gamefly without the Gamefly logo on it. 99.130.175.58 ( talk) 21:32, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
A release date of November 28th has been added my someone, citing a source form Play.com The Release date is cited at Nintendo.com for the 16th of November. Nintendo is definitely more reliable than Play.com, so I think that the release date shouldn't have the 28th anywhere on it. Any thoughts? Johnnywalterboy ( talk) 22:18, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
Nintendo said the release would be 3rd to 16 of November although it is subject to change. -- Knowlege: Life's greatest gift, or terrible curse, how do you use it...? ( talk) 16:47, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
In select walmarts ac cf is already out!!! -accdude92 Its true that that is the real release date. I looked it up! Lavinder111 ( talk) 18:41, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
"Players can also put their Wii in sleep-mode and let other players visit their town, regardless if the town's owner is actually playing at the time of the visit."
I don't approve of this feature, it should be made optional, because if people can gain access to someone's town, they can destroy it, like around midnight. Unless there's an option such as "Town Restore" to restore the town to it's state before person(s) came to so-and-so's town. Some good features of Idle-Wi-Fi, would be, say you, A forgot a gold tool at B's town, B could come over, and drop it near your house, with a tag of "Only A can pick this item up" 24.167.98.156 - talk
The source given is this, and I cannot see any mention of the above included. It only mentions WiiConnect24 being used for the separate "city" area. - 78.143.208.218 ( talk) 19:10, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
The fact you don't approve isn't what the talk pages are for. Sorry I don't mean to be rude. It's true though. Lavinder111 ( talk) 18:43, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
ALTHOUGH IT IS ESTIMATED DO NOT REMOVE AS IT IS IN LINE WITH WHAT NINTY HAVE SAID THNXX. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.37.150.8 ( talk) 11:39, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
It says on the Animal Crossing wiki, (which doesn't, honestly seem too reliable) that you will be able to decorate furnature in this game. I haven't heard this anywhere yet and I can't track down any of the authors to find out where this fact comes from. Can anybody confirm/deny/give more info on this? - AtionSong 21:55, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
-I believe that came from a Katsuya Eguchi interview. Based on the interview, it was just discussion of the idea - not concrete evidence that it will be a feature in the game. - 4.154.88.12 22:44, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
It is not true. You can create your own paintings, tops, hats, umbrellas, carpets, wallpaper and outdoor foot mats. Lavinder111 ( talk) 18:46, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
I removed the EGM release date info claiming it to be Fall 2007. Over on the Smash Bros. Brawl page, the editors decided it wasn't reliable enough, so for consistancy, I removed it here too. Please do not put up tentative dates without a source confirmed by Nintendo. 199.126.137.209 18:50, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Do not claim to do edits that I had already done.
Someone put that the game would be released in late September. I'd like to know where you found that because everywhere I've seen it says that it will be released in Japan first and it doesn't seem to be coming out soon. 68.34.249.35 20:57, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
I cited a link to a page on nintendo.com for the release date of November 16th, 2008 Johnnywalterboy ( talk) 05:16, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
In the Wii Channels article, it states that this game will use Miis for the main characters, but I don't see anything about it in this article. Someone in the know should take action. -- Brandon Dilbeck 00:23, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Yes you CAN use Miis. -- Knowlege: Life's greatest gift, or terrible curse, how do you use it...? ( talk) 16:47, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
You can use mii's but they have to be as a mask and vanish as soon as you put on assearys surely this should be on here Lavinder111 ( talk) 10:20, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
It has been revealed at a NoJ conference with retailers that Animal Crossing will be coming out in Japan in 2007. There are several reports confirming this. Why does this keep getting reverted from the main article? Thores 02:17, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Adding lots of "TBA"s is unhelpful; in any case, the use of "TBA" is deprecated. -- Mel Etitis ( Talk) 09:36, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
I belive that these games are too difforent to be linked. Just because their both sims dose not mean that they are simmilar. 75.161.153.11 13:11, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Deffinately not the same game here people they are nothing alike when you play them. Reality check. Lavinder111 ( talk) 18:48, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
I've added a sentence at the end of the article regarding a mention of sorts of the game in the Operations Manual. If anyone is against my addition, feel free to remove it. If anyone is concerned about the validity, go check a manual yourself. KaelinCadence 22:58, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
According to this source, Animal crossing Wii could be an MMO game. I think this should be mentioned somewhere in the article. Any suggestions as to how? -- Filovirus 23:24, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
The G4 site said Edge Magazine doesn't usually get stuff like this wrong and usually has a lot of proof to back something up like this I would give you a link but the g4 site isn't working right now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mantyxc ( talk • contribs) 12:33, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey there. Joystiq is reporting the Animal Crossing MMO as a fact now. Is this a good enough source for it to be included in the article? -- Filovirus 16:07, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
I think what we are all waiting for is official conformation. It is probably right though.-- 76.199.162.92 00:37, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
I don't know if this is noteworthy or not, but when you go to "acwii.com", it brings you to Nintendo's page. Does this confirm the title "AC:Wii"? Just thought I'd bring this up. walkingonthesun ( talk) 02:57, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
The article is gone. Why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fintan29 ( talk • contribs) 19:08, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
I removed some info about a December launch time, a piece of info that was derived from a Club Nintendo calender. Just for clarification's sake, the calender says nothing about the Animal Crossing Wii release date. As I understand it, the December release time frame was inferred from the fact that Animal Crossing is used as a theme for that month and that Mario Kart is the theme for the month of April (Mario Kart Wii launches April worldwide). This pattern does not hold up to much scrutiny, as January has Mario Galaxy as its theme. If my reasoning is wrong, or if there's some other pertinent info that Club Nintendo (or anyone else for the matter) released, feel free to correct me. Entitled ( talk) 03:51, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
IGN has this game listed under a 27/6/08 release date. IGN is a reliable source so it should be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.121.102.73 ( talk) 12:30, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Couldn't we already put NA 2008. It's pretty obvious that this game will be released in NA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.61.222.72 ( talk • contribs)

I just checked G4's thefeed website and it had alot of info on the game for E3, or something like that. My computer sucks so I really can't do anything right now but if somebody could check their sources and put them in the article it would be great.Thanks a bunch dudes. Zabbethx ( talk) 22:38, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
What is with the picture used on the article? It looks like someone was playing on paint and pasted the Animal Crossing Logo. I think it should be removed and we should wait for box-art to be released. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.243.108.87 ( talk) 19:27, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

The page has been divided far too thinly. Instead of having multiple seperate sections of one or two sentences a piece, it would look better if the article was just a basic summary of what we know until we have more information to organize in such a manner. Right now it just looks very lacking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.98.95 ( talk) 06:12, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
I see your point. I've cleaned it up a bit! Skeletal S.L.J.C.O.A.A.A.T.R. 07:46, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Bleh so my layout wasn't good enough I take it? Guess I'll just stay out of everything for now then - I've got two whole threads in different languages to run anyway so if my work here isn't good enough, then go ahead and have it your way instead >< I don't feel like writing the same stuff over and over again just to see everything get erased.
You're all free to visit this thread at any time to update yourself on what's new in this installment of the series. I'll be sure to come here again later this week and see too it that you've got everything right. Over and out. ConraDargo ( talk) 11:06, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
It isn't that your layout wasn't good enough or anything, it's just better suited for an article with much more available information to write about. It would be best to wait until we get closer to the game's release and have more to fill the sections with than to just have a very empty-looking page. 71.190.98.95 ( talk) 22:53, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
I for one would say that the New element section is too cluttered as it is now, with all the new features that we know of - especially if you go into detail like just how the new auction house works and characters such as the shoe-shiner boy. But I'll let you decide. If someone still haven't summarized all the new features until next Monday then I might step in and try and do something about it. Until then I'll continue with my two threads instead (have a look for yourself and you'll see that quite a lot of beans have already been spilled about this game). ConraDargo ( talk) 20:26, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I'm a contributor to a Wiki hosted by Wikia, and I recently wrote about the development of this video game. Since it is my work, am I free under Wikipedia and Wikia rules to merge it with Wikipedia's development section or must I rewrite it first? The section in question has properly cited sources and most/all of the information comes from IGN.com which I have seen Wikipedia editors cite often. Thanks for your time. Stumpers. —Preceding undated comment was added at 08:09, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
A Link to the Past ( talk · contribs) keeps adding Category:Cancelled GameCube games to the article on the suspicion that CITY FOLK is the same game as Animal Crossing 2. It's equally likely that the codebase that would have been AC 2 became Animal Crossing: Wild World, and I can show evidence from the dialogue of Wild World to support this (villager chat about Katrina and Blathers' having completed his paleontology course). So unless there is verifiable evidence from a reliable source that AC 2 was reworked into CITY FOLK and not Wild World, I propose leaving this article out of the category. -- Damian Yerrick ( talk | stalk) 17:58, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I found the box art on Nintendo's site, but it's temporary, would it still be worthy of an upload? ( http://media.nintendo.com/nintendo/bin/vX9lB4LpD8jJDPDZyMM4_SQkEPuQ3fCE/8gZo8xi3hxhiv6qrUwYK9naKEsA38UOr.jpg) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.14.235.66 ( talk) 00:55, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
www.nintendowiifanboy.com on the bottom of this page is the boxart. it looks real, and i dont think anyone would make this as a joke! is it worth posting at least for now? because its not only on the website, but on many others! plus, the logo is kinda boring... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.150.13.72 ( talk) 22:36, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
At Animalxing.com there is a news bulliten saying at Gamefly is the official boxart for AC CF. It looks very official. Here is the link to Animalxing and the link to the image. Look at Gamefly.com too for the image if you want.

the gc ac was not the original, there is a little known predecessor for an n64 port, called the n64 dd. it was only realeased in japan, and, because of poor sales, was discontinued shortly after launch. it included high resolution graphics and huge game cartridges. the ac n64 game was one of the most popular and, luckily, was brought back on gamecube —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.61.177.86 ( talk) 23:24, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

"It has been announced that the game will feature a motion control for fishing, bug catching, and chopping down trees. This is an optional feature because those actions have been mapped to a certain button."
When was this confirmed? I have never heard this and the article does not cite a source for it.
NFreak007 (
talk) 17:20, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
I saw a screenshot of fishing but that's all that I know for SURE has motion control.
A quick audit of the article shows quite a few fair weasel words and phrases, so I've tagged the article. Feel free to remove if you disagree or fix the article. - Madmikeuk needs more cowbell. 16:23, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
It looks like a 10 year old wrote it. Don't write things like, "I hope it will have..." or "In a gameplay video on Youtube, I saw...." or "Of course, there's always things Nintendo doesn't tell us, so for all we know, there are more motion control movements." You're supposed to write about the game not what Nintendo won't tell you. This article should not involve you or any other people who play the game. I edited out most of it but this article needs to be fixed and we need to stop people from completely trashing it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.24.54.185 ( talk) 13:45, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
I just noticed that the article says Animal Crossing City Folk supports the GameCube controller under input methods. I can't seem to find any website that confirms this. Is it false information, or am I missing something? Zacplaysgames ( talk) 16:59, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I recently found out that Canada gets it on Monday the 17th, so I added the info on the page and inserted a reference. If anyone think it is poorly done or other wise, please fix it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.91.49.242 ( talk) 14:48, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
That must be mistake on there website, as many Canadian retail sites have already said that they are avalible for purchase. Take Future Shop [3] for one and Best Buy. I do have a reserve on the game at EB games so I will be able to prove this. 68.150.139.56 ( talk) 14:56, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Thank you very much. Many people said the Nintendo Canada website was inaccurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.91.49.242 ( talk) 04:35, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
Also we generally don't include a seperate Canadian release date unless the game come comes out significantly later in canada. At least in Quebec games comming out a few days late is common. We do add a Canadian relase date for games such a Rock Band since that came out a month later. -- 70.24.179.142 ( talk) 17:12, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Is this worth a mention in the article, perhaps under the development section? So far the issue has yet to be unresolved and is likely to end in a recall.

sorry if editing this post is wrong, I'm new here. That site is my friends site... He thought that he should add a forum as it can offer support for people who don't know how to play the game. In the links to be avoided page it says
"There are several things that should be considered when adding an external link. Is the site content accessible to the reader? Is the site content proper in the context of the article (useful, tasteful, informative, factual, etc.)? Is the link functional and likely to remain functional? Each link should be considered on its merits, using the following guidelines. As the number of external links in an article grows longer, assessment should become stricter. When in doubt about the appropriateness of adding new links, make a suggestion on the article's talkpage and discuss with other editors."
That site has the content accessible for the reader.
The site is useful for this article, someone can ask for help and a real person that plays the game will answer there
The link is functional.
This site also allows for friend codes and items to be traded thus meaning this site should be kept as it can be a very helpful site for the average animal crossing player. —Preceding

A release date of November 28th has been added my someone, citing a source form Play.com The Release date is cited at Nintendo.com for the 16th of November. Nintendo is definitely more reliable than Play.com, so I think that the release date shouldn't have the 28th anywhere on it. Any thoughts? Johnnywalterboy ( talk) 22:18, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

"Players can also put their Wii in sleep-mode and let other players visit their town, regardless if the town's owner is actually playing at the time of the visit."
I don't approve of this feature, it should be made optional, because if people can gain access to someone's town, they can destroy it, like around midnight. Unless there's an option such as "Town Restore" to restore the town to it's state before person(s) came to so-and-so's town. Some good features of Idle-Wi-Fi, would be, say you, A forgot a gold tool at B's town, B could come over, and drop it near your house, with a tag of "Only A can pick this item up" 24.167.98.156 - talk

It says on the Animal Crossing wiki, (which doesn't, honestly seem too reliable) that you will be able to decorate furnature in this game. I haven't heard this anywhere yet and I can't track down any of the authors to find out where this fact comes from. Can anybody confirm/deny/give more info on this? - AtionSong 21:55, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I removed some info about a December launch time, a piece of info that was derived from a Club Nintendo calender. Just for clarification's sake, the calender says nothing about the Animal Crossing Wii release date. As I understand it, the December release time frame was inferred from the fact that Animal Crossing is used as a theme for that month and that Mario Kart is the theme for the month of April (Mario Kart Wii launches April worldwide). This pattern does not hold up to much scrutiny, as January has Mario Galaxy as its theme. If my reasoning is wrong, or if there's some other pertinent info that Club Nintendo (or anyone else for the matter) released, feel free to correct me. Entitled ( talk) 03:51, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

The page has been divided far too thinly.

It isn't that your layout wasn't good enough or anything, it's just better suited for an article with much more available information to write about.

I for one would say that the New element section is too cluttered as it is now, with all the new features that we know of - especially if you go into detail like just how the new auction house works and characters such as the shoe-shiner boy. But I'll let you decide. If someone still haven't summarized all the new features until next Monday then I might step in and try and do something about it. Until then I'll continue with my two threads instead (have a look for yourself and you'll see that quite a lot of beans have already been spilled about this game).

A Link to the Past ( talk · contribs) keeps adding Category:Cancelled GameCube games to the article on the suspicion that CITY FOLK is the same game as Animal Crossing 2. It's equally likely that the codebase that would have been AC 2 became Animal Crossing: Wild World, and I can show evidence from the dialogue of Wild World to support this (villager chat about Katrina and Blathers' having completed his paleontology course). So unless there is verifiable evidence from a reliable source that AC 2 was reworked into CITY FOLK and not Wild World, I propose leaving this article out of the category. -- Damian Yerrick ( talk | stalk) 17:58, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

"There are several things that should be considered when adding an external link. Is the site content accessible to the reader? Is the site content proper in the context of the article (useful, tasteful, informative, factual, etc.)? Is the link functional and likely to remain functional? Each link should be considered on its merits, using the following guidelines. As the number of external links in an article grows longer, assessment should become stricter. When in doubt about the appropriateness of adding new links, make a suggestion on the article's talkpage and discuss with other editors."
That site has the content accessible for the reader.
The site is useful for this article, someone can ask for help and a real person that plays the game will answer there
The link is functional.
This site also allows for friend codes and items to be traded thus meaning this site should be kept as it can be a very helpful site for the average animal crossing player. —Preceding
