Hey dudes

Friend codes for this game should be put here, so we can visit each others' towns!

I cannot condemn Nintendo's handling of online gaming enough.

Now don't get me wrong, I think that Nintendo are doing great things promoting online gaming, and offering free connection to Nintendo Wi-Fi providing you have broadband and a wireless adaptor set up correctly BUT the way that Mario Kart DS, and now Animal Crossing handle joining/playing online are really flawed.

In Mario Kart, you'd be as well playing against randomly named bots, because you get no interaction with them whatsoever, which makes it kind of pointless. It is nice to have a bit of a chat between races, or post-race, as otherwise, it doesn't feel like racing other people, which is the point in the first place of playing online. No choice (other than worldwide, continental, blah blah blah) as to what type of race or anything either, it'd be much better to be able to join certain races, or types of race.

In Animal Crossing, I appreciate that they are trying to prevent the exploitation of children, or whatever, but I find that having paid 29.99 for a title, and wanting to randomly visit a person online, or select from a list of towns currently "online" would be much better. I mean, the message in a bottle thing is cute, but in the UK it's doubtful I'll ever be within 30m of someone else playing at the same time, it'd be so nice to be able to send a message in a bottle over wi-fi, or to wake up one morning and discover some bottles on the beach from random people all over the world. As a boy of 24, I find it extremely limiting the restrictions Nintendo have put on their online games.

It is not their responsibility to nanny children, they should be well enough educated about the risks of the internet by their parents. If Nintendo insist on handling online gaming with such kid-gloves, why not just put on a "parental lock" feature so that the parent can lock the online functions to what they currently are (needing friendcodes) with a PIN (bloody hell, even a signature with the stylus) required to unlock it. If it is unlocked it can act as I propose, being able to visit wherever is online whenever you like. It defeats the entire purpose if I have to know the people beforehand, even partially (ie through here or a friendcode forum)..

I guess I just want to wake up to loads of random message bottles on the beach every morning and the bittersweetness of not being able to reply to the person or even know who they are, unless they've included their email address or something..

This would be lovely, but it is an impossible dream unless Nintendo intend on releasing a version with better online functionality, which is probably never going to happen, or an Animal Crossing 2.

I'm just pissed at a beautiful opportunity wasted.

Online play is great and playing online with friends is fun, but I can already do that locally. I want to play strangers, I want to meet new people, I don't want to be so restricted...

Friendcodes are a good idea for tracking which of your buddies are online, and getting to play with them as well, but man.....

I'm still Wi-fi-less

Dave, have you played Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney? I got it today, and it could well be my favourite DS game so far.

I got it, played through a little bit... Took it back and got Res Evil.

Ace Wright was good and all but I've just been after the subtle blend of lateral thinking and extreme violence RE has to offer rather than sit for hours reading witness accounts... I'll probably buy Ace Wright and keep it when I'm after something a bit more subdued.

These random message bottles? You know they would all say the same thing:

You are gay.
Vous êtes gai.
Usted es gay
Sie sind homosexuell.
陽気である

Mine would say "Tom Nook is a fascist"

I'm finding it hard to put down, so I worry i'll finish it in a few days. By it's nature, it's a game you can only play through once. I read that before Capcom replenished stock in the states, the game was going for 3 times the retail price on t'ebay, so perhaps the same thing will happen here

I don't want anyone coming into my wee town anyway, we don't like outsiders much.
I've only had the game a few days but Tom Nook seems like a good lad, though my mate said much the same thing as you.
I feel the urge of adjusting the date on my DS so I can see what i'm missing, but I will resist

I've not got it yet so I'm just going by the Gamecube version. But when Nook gets his claws into you he's as bad as Tony Soprano. Next he'll be asking for "points".

Yeah, but if its anything like the GC version you'll have to deal with Resetti and he's a hard ass... plus your town will suffer side effects like WEEEEEEEEEEEDS!

smokes_quantity · 15th April 2006, 05:00 PM

Tipper the gay cow came on to me today after i bought life insurance from Lyle who seemed a little bit dodgy but he knows this guy called Redd who's gonna come visit me on tuesday. He has a tent. Maybe i can buy things from him

I got stung as well, trying to catch bees so i can show off to Nan who wants me to catch a rarer bug than him. Also, Emler the transgendered horse is coming round at 6 to see my house. He/She seems nice enough, but i dont know if anything will happen between us...i'll see how it goes eh?

*UPDATE* that bitch Elmer says my house is "fragrant" then gives me 3/5 for the house. Then she goes on to slag off Curt and Kody for wearing the same shirts as each other and whats she wearing? THE EXACT SAME CHARLIE DESIGNED BATMAN T-SHIRT THAT I MADE! The nerve of some people!

Anyway, friend code: 5197-6012-5080
Come to my town Dave

Victoria called Melba a "total jerkface". Tensions are rising in the sleepy hamlet of Okkervil.

In my friend Darryl's town Coronet, his best friend Benedict the rooster left for a new life. I think Darryl was just about in tears.

This game!

corduroyboy · 15th April 2006, 05:51 PM

I was so embarrassed, I missed a party I was supposed to throw at 6PM the other day. I am scared to go back, terrified of the repercussions.

All my villagers ever talk of is
