− | === | + | ===New features=== |
− | {{CF|nolink}} | + | {{CF|short|nolink}} takes advantage of the now-discontinued [[WiiConnect24]] functionality of the Wii console allowing players to connect to the internet for special features when they are not playing.<ref>http://wii.ign.com/articles/709/709218p1.html</ref> City Folk also makes use of a new feature with Wii Speak, allowing [[player]]s to talk to each other when visiting other [[town]]s. City Folk also introduced a new way to switch between inventory items using the d-pad along with, for a first time in the series, being able to look up at the sky by pressing "Up" on the d-pad. Additionally, [[silver items]] can be found, along with the golden and original versions. [[Mii Mask]]s, new characters, and new shops have also been added, and [[Nookington's]] no longer requires use of online play to be unlocked. |
− | === | + | ====The city==== |
− | + | {{CF|nolink}} features a newly accessible location called the [[city]]. The city houses most of the characters that, in previous games, were considered special visitors. These include [[Gracie]] and [[Label|Labelle]], who work at [[GracieGrace]], [[Redd]] who sells art and furniture, [[Harriet]] who does [[hairstyle]]s, [[Dr. Shrunk]] and [[Frillard]], who give the player [[emotions]] at [[The Marquee]], [[Lyle]], who works at the [[Happy Home Academy]] for home evaluations, [[Katrina]], who tells the player their fortune, [[Lloid]], who operates the [[Auction House]], [[Resetti]] and [[Don]], who work at [[Resetti Surveillance Center]], [[Kicks]], who can change the player's shoes, and [[Phineas]], who sells balloons and toys. The City is accessible via Kapp'n's bus and is open all hours of the day. Most of the shops close at 9 PM daily, with the exception of Redd's Store and The [[Resetti Surveillance Center]]. The city also introduces new characters such as [[Phineas]] and [[Kicks]], into the franchise. | |
− | === | + | ====Moving==== |
− | {{ | + | The player has two options when they move in: to start new or transfer their character from {{WW}}. This only moves over the character and their appearance; any other data, including their house, progress, and items from {{WW|short|nolink}}, are not carried over. The player gets a choice of four [[House (player)|houses]] to move into at the start of the game. |
− | + | ====Wi-Fi==== | |
+ | {{CF|short|nolink}} features Wi-Fi capabilities, which were earlier implemented in the previous game, {{WW|short|nolink}}. This feature gave the player access to other towns, enabled them to communicate with friends' towns with letters, and also provided players with special items sent from time to time from Nintendo, many of which reference some of the company's best-selling games. It also allowed players to experience the [[Mysterious Cat]], an event that enabled a visit from [[Blanca]]. | ||
− | + | On May 20, 2014, Nintendo shut down the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, ending the Wi-Fi capabilities found in {{CF|short|nolink}}.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/en/games-wifi.jsp Nintendo - Service Update: Online Gameplay]</ref> | |

Initial editorial previews of the title from IGN and GameSpy indicate that, as with the title's predecessor, {{WW}}, "Nintendo has made very few changes to the title and that people, who played all the past ''Animal Crossing'' games, will not find much in {{CF|short|nolink}}, although the game was still fun and might appeal to newcomers."
