The game's newly added content includes a tropical [[Animal Island|island]] where players can help a local [[islander]] furnish their [[Villager house|house]], a [[museum]] for donating collectibles, a [[Able Sisters|tailor]] where players can create custom designs, and compatibility with the [[Nintendo e-Reader]] through a series of [[e-Reader card|cards]] released specifically for the game. |
The game was released in North America in 2002. To prepare the game for release, Nintendo of America embarked on an extensive localization, headed by Nate Bihldorff and Rich Amtower. Their efforts resulted in a substantial increase of in-game text compared to {{DnM}}, and the change of many distinctly-Japanese cultural elements to make them more recognizable to a western audience. Additional content was implemented, such as entirely new holidays, items, and characters. Certain events were also changed to have broader appeal in western regions. This version of the game was also later released in Australia in 2003, and across Europe in 2004. | The game was released in North America in 2002.
