And now here's a version with my LIVE commentary.

I think the thing is, that's one scary trailer for a long-starved Animal Crossing fan. Almost nothing looks enhanced. On a low-fi flash-encoded video stream, you can't tell if that's new footage or copped from the N64/GameCube original. As I said, when viewed in person, those graphics better be super goddamn sharp. The first AC was notorious for blurry textures and the DS sequel was, well, a DS game.

Not a lot of new items in there. Definitely a bunch of those hats were new. AC is, for me, all about collecting the items. If I have to spend my time scrounging up the complete Green Theme yet again, I am not going to be exceptionally pleased.

I'd chalk it all up to Nintendo being their usual cagey selves, except that they pulled this same shit with the DS... IE, not much new. Aside from online play, the DS version actually was missing a bunch of content from the GameCube version. For City Folk, I'm expecting everything we had in both of the other games, to a factor of ten.
