Please note that one of the players living in the village must speak to Rover on the bus to the city after finishing their part-time job. Rover will only appear to speak with the first player in the village to go the city.

In an attempt to curb child predation, the police in Missouri are now claiming that any adult who owns and plays games like Animal Crossing probably doesn't have a good reason to do so and is most likely a pedophile with bad intent.

Gamepolitics: Law enforcement is an increasingly challenging job, so GP likes to see police officers well trained and well-informed.

Moreover, with an uptick in the number of incidents in which alleged pedophiles have made contact with their victims through online games, this is clearly a venue that the police need to be able to understand and deal with effectively when the need arises.

That being said, we hope these comments by an investigator with the Mid-Missouri Internet Crimes Task Force were somehow misquoted or taken out of context:

"There is no reason an adult should have [Animal Crossing: City Folk]," says Andy Anderson, Mid-Missouri Internet Crimes Task Force.

Hi Wii fans, this is a pair of nuggets that TOP Secret-Blog has for you. EDGE Magazine published an article about the upcoming Animal Crossing for Wii, and they wrote that this one is going to be an MMO. Well, that's truth. This game is being created as one of the premier Wii Online experiences and it's definitely an MMO. Worried about the lack of hard drive on Wii? Don't be. Somebody is telling me that a Wii + Hard Drive is indeed planed to appear when the release of this title is ready (Q4 2008). Also, people can still use SD cards to save their data (A 2GB SD Card is going to be packed with this Animal Crossing, you can count on that).

Animal Crossing for the Wii will be an MMO/social networking title. It's no great surprise ¿ in a few short years, Animal Crossing has become one of Nintendo's most-loved and top selling franchises (over seven million copies sold), particularly in Japan. Nintendo refers to the title as a 'communications game' rather than a videogame, and playing already depends on real-world timekeeping, weather patterns, social conventions, and above all else economic interactions. In almost every way, Animal Crossing has always been the perfect MMO concept, and this development is simply a fulfilment of that promise.

Thursday 18 May 2006 In the Wii version of Animal Crossing - currently in development at Nintendo - you'll swing your arms around to chop trees, make digging motions to dig up fossils and hold the Wii-mote just like a fishing rod in order to catch fish, according to series creator and Nintendo designer, Katsuya Eguchi.
