Thoughts:
Last year, I was excited about The Conduit releasing for the Wii and I wanted to have the Wii Speak accessory for The Conduit when it released.
At the end of March(2009), Amazon.com put the Animal Crossing: City Folk and Wii Speak Microphone Bundle on sale, and I decided to purchase it.
I thought that I could use Wii Speak for The Conduit, and if I did not like/play Animal Crossing, I could trade it in.
When I purchased Animal Crossing: City Folk, I was not really sure what to expect from the game, but soon found myself, and my wife, playing the game daily.
Well, 15 months later, I still own Animal Crossing: City Folk and Wii Speak, but traded off The Conduit in October of last year...strange how things work-out sometimes.
My wife is still playing Animal Crossing: City Folk, trying to complete the fossil collection(she just received a fountain for our town on Satuday, July 31)!
With my play-time and Mrs. CwG's combined, Animal Crossing: City Folk is the most played Wii game on our Wii console.
If you have played the game, you may be wondering if I ever visited Brewster. I did visit Brewster quite often when I played the game on a more regular basis, and my wife was just in his shop tonight listening to K.K. Slider's songs.
*Quick update: I also find it interesting that Animal Crossing: City Folk is currently the second most played Nintendo Wii game based on the average hours per person/console reporting play-time data.

I bought both the GameCube and DS versions and love them. I don't play that regularly, but I go clean up my town once in a while.
ReplyDeleteI didn't buy the Wii version, because I tried it and it didn't have anything new. I'm looking forward to the 3DS one though, because you are the mayor in that one.

I had not heard this about the 3DS version! I wonder if it will be more managing the town overall, and/or if it will still have the relaxed atmosphere of just fishing, collecting fruit, etc?
