    Mostly for faffing about with PAers, yeah.

    What's going on with the confusion as to the release date, though? Some stores list it as tomorrow, some Monday, and some have already released it.

    Tomorrow is officially the release day. Lots of Wal-Marts released it as early as the 11th (not ABQ ones *sad*), and I think a few places are just receiving late shipments.

    Also, the bundle is $69.99 and the regular is $49.99. A lot of places say they don't have the bundle, but Nintendo sort of decided to do bundles at the last second, but I know GameStops will have them in. They were not available for pre-order though because they were in the system much later than the regulars.

    Yay, the store near work broke the street date, which means I'm getting a K.K. Song right now! 8-)

    Say, am I the only one who had a character from Wild World but chose instead to start fresh because I want to re-experience the whole thing from the start? Of course, my guy's still called Djiem, and the town is still Shamrock, but it's a new map (which I had to reset to obtain, the first map sucked and was really impractical).

    EDIT: Ooh, two songs. K.K. is feeling generous. Too bad I messed the spelling on Go K.K. Rider! I got Chorale instead.
    EDIT2: Holy shit, three songs! I got Rider! The dog's on fire. Sucks to get this game tomorrow.

    I completely agree. I've been excited about this game since it was first talked about a year ago or so. I'm so sad that I have to work all day tomorrow. I was looking forward to playing this all day.

    Hopefully, after it is released we can do a monthly guide with all of the fish, bugs, and events of the months listed.

    I'm going for that fresh start as well.

    Do we have a wiki page?

    I'll get setting one up as they're much easier to keep up to date than relying on one poor schmoe to keep scanning the thread and updating the OP.

    Edit: Page made.

    If it could be featured prominently in the OP that would be rad. I threw it together blind so feel free to edit the table headers if unsuitable.

    I would like to know this too. I just game home after taking my girlfriend to go get the game, she opened the packaging and started playing before I looked at the package and said "it didn't come with Wiispeak"

    Details anyone?

    There is a package with wii speak for $69.99. I'm know that not all stores will be carrying the bundle. That's from what I've heard anyway. I'm pretty sure you're right about the wii speak channel coming out in December. I'm pretty sure that you have to keep a code that comes with wii speak to even download it. It won't be available to people that haven't actually bought it.

    *edit* I'm pretty sure most gamestops will have the bundle. You can also buy wii speak separately for $30.

    The Wiispeak channel is a channel similar to the chat channels for the DS Pictochat.

    Wiispeak can/should work independantly inside the game.

    Sorry, there was a giant amount of confusion with Wiispeak. Yes there are bundled version that go for 70 bucks. (wiispeak by itself is 30, so you're saving 10 bucks). Gamestop didn't have the bundled versions in their systems, but they were shipped to them, so they'll have them in stores.

    Amazon updated about 10 days ago with a new City with the Bundle.

    Well I went to my gamestop and got the bundle. It was 69.99 so you save 10 bucks on the Wii Speak. My gamestop had about 20 bundles left and that was after the pre-orders picked theirs up, so no one should have problems finding one if they want it. I'm thankful this came out this week, Now my wife will stop playing fable 2 and that open's up the 360 for some left 4 dead.

    I loved Wild World, will I like City Folk? I am looking for a little more then just playing WW on the Wii. Do you feel like you have a new game when you are playing CF or do you feel as if they ported WW with one or two new features?


    Oh I am concerned that CF will be used as a terrorist communication device so I am somewhat worried that I may be put on the terrorist watch list for playing it.

    So, is it possible to change your face later on (and I don't mean for a Mii face, I mean to switch your face to another of the AC faces)?

    Because I don't want to reset my data, but I will if I have to. And to think I snatched a song before everyone else...

    So, I restarted my game because I didn't like my guy's face. Now, I have a new town, it's pretty sweet but not exactly as cool as the other one. I just finished the pain-in-the-ass work for Nook, and now I wonder if I should redo the town again or play in it... such a dilemna... I know I should only play for so long in a town I know I'm goint to love, but I don't want to start over again.

    Basically all you get is that character and whatever they had you can get with the catalog. You cant directly transfer anything like bells or items. So if you had a character with tons of stuff, all that stuff will be in your catalog from the get go.

    All that transfers is your character (so face, hair, etc...) and their catalogue. You don't take your money, your house, or anything like that, just the list of items you've seen in Wild World.

    Edit: Also, DJiem, there is a face guide in the OP.
