Anyone else have it? I do. I got it with Wii Speak as well. It's awesome (in my opinion). There's a bunch of new stuff to do, and new stuff to get. There's even a new type of tool (type in the vein of normal and golden, the new one is...). So what I am doing here is asking if anyone else has it, and what they think of it. Also, it comes out tomorrow in Europe and here is my friend code for anyone that wants to come to my town. I believe it was released today in Australia.
My name is Jon (that's in the sig) and the friend code is 3051-1173-8012. Also, if you want to send me a message to my Wii Message Board, my Wii Address is 5393-7473-1648-7351. Hope some people respond to this thread with their codes.
I used to be, and was excited to see what Nintendo were gonna do with AC, but I feel let down. After reading several reviews I'm pretty convinced it hasn't changed much at all, which is just as I thought. I'm getting it for christmas hopefully, as I'm one of these people who likes to have the full collection of games, but I really think Nintendo could have done something more dramatic and new considering it's so popular and open for so many possibilities.
By the way are you sure it has new items and not just items you've not seen before? In a couple of reviews I read that it has no new items.
I know for sure that there is at least one new item, as I've bought it. It is the new tool type for the net. SPOILER ALERT!silvernet. There is also a new shirt called the blue hero suit, which goes with some others to be the hero set.
I think my sisters getting it for Xmas so I'll probably play the hell out of it too
But like I said in the other thread I really think the series works better on handhelds.
Id have liked to have seen a more organic setting, hills, cliffs with houses built in to them, tree houses etc, and trees that are big... They're all small and don't really help to give the game much character or atmostphere. Would have meant a more complex random generation engine but it would have been worth it

I know that the lobster at least is new, because I've caught all the fish and bugs in that game and gotten the golden rod and golden net. Sorry about the seahorse, just forgot about it.
You don't transfer the town, just the character. It's actually just copying the character name, face, and catalog ( Not including paintings, fossils, or gyroids ). The character and town still exist on the DS, its just like they're moving to a new town. Interesting tidbit, if you reset with one of these DS characters, Resetti will thank you for buying both AC:WW and AC:CF.
