Animal Crossing: City Folk

In a 2006 interview, Katsuya Eguchi – leader of Animal Crossing's production development – stated, "someone could send a letter from their cellphone or from an email address on a PC to the Wii, and then the player living in the town in Animal Crossing could receive that letter." In another interview with IGN, Katsuya Eguchi also discussed how his team continues exploring potential ways to take advantage of the WiiConnect24 feature such as allowing friends to visit other towns or leave messages while the machine is in standby mode.
While including the same objectives from previous games by having players live in and expand their own, unique towns, City Folk includes a city area accessible by bus. It contains many locations related to former timed events and characters. It was revealed that the player can visit Harriet who runs a hair/makeover shop; the player will be able to get a mask that looks like a chosen Mii character. Returning to the series are real-world holidays such as Bunny Day (Easter) and Halloween, which were absent from Animal Crossing: Wild World.
The game will take advantage of WiiSpeak, a new microphone option for Wii that allows several people in the same vicinity to talk into it, as well as being used for live voice chat.
