Service Various
Appearances Animal Crossing: City Folk

The City (シティ Shiti?) is a location featured in Animal Crossing: City Folk, though it is first mentioned in Animal Crossing: Wild World. The city can be reached by riding a bus from the town. Only a central plaza area can be explored in City Folk, housing merchants and services, a theatre, and with access to the Resetti Surveillance Center. Random villagers from out of town, possibly inhabitants of the city, can be seen wandering the plaza and browsing the shops. The villagers that can be seen in the plaza will change every time a building is entered and exited by the player.

Curiously, precipitation in the city will affect the town, even if the weather is different there. Flowers in the town will be hydrated by rain in the city, and gyroids can be found buried underground the next day.

A shopping district called Main Street is featured in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and serves a similar purpose to the city.

In Wild World

The city is mentioned by several characters in Animal Crossing: Wild World;

  • Tom Nook - He speaks of his unsuccessful career in the city and his return to the player's town.
  • Blathers - Blathers was brought up in the city, but moved to the countryside to curate the Museum after completing part of his degree.
  • Gracie - She frequently talks of the comparative lack of style in the country compared to the city.
  • Brewster - Brewster used to own an unsuccessful coffee shop in the city, before meeting Blathers and being invited to the museum.
  • Harriet - In Animal Crossing: Wild World, Harriet states "I've got to remember I don't own a salon in the city anymore."
  • Sable - Sometimes she will talk of her friendship with Tom Nook, long ago when they were growing up together. According to her, Tom Nook's dream was to have a big shop in the city.

Cranky villagers will sometimes ask the player if they were brought up in the city, while it would appear that the player moved from the suburbs of a city, as hinted by their mother's letters.
