You know who still sucks? Wendell. Wild World pretty much ruined this guy. Time was, you'd give him food and he'd give you a rare wallpaper. In the DS version, he was reduced to a pattern delivery service, no more actual items. And just like in the portable, low-memory, card media version of Animal Crossing, you're limited to owning eight patterns at any one time (with plenty of out-of-pocket storage, thankfully) and of course Wendell has fifty or sixty designs to dole out. Want to use Wendell's patterns to lay down a fun road throughout your town? Then that's all you're doing, because the road designs will fill up your pattern slots.

"Where do [I] want it?", indeed.

Katrina sucks too.

I've already fallen back to seven year old gags... I'm teaching everyone in town to say Mitchell!

That pig has great taste in clothes.

Zydeco? Chuffed? What is up with this game. Greatest English localization ever.

Bit of a twist to the Crazy Redd formula... you now need to score an invitation from one of your villagers before you can enter Redd's shop. Once you get that, then Redd gives you one sheet of his special paper so you can invite someone else. Pretty cool. I like how Redd (and even Katrina) are now constant citydwellers, rather than having to wait for them to randomly appear in town.

Son of a bitch still sold me a forged painting though.

The point of the Harvest Festival is to steal the silverware and give it to Franklin the turkey so he does not get eaten. Then he gives you a random piece of (ugly) Harvest furniture. As long as you ditch the gift back at your pad, you can keep doing this all night.

I played the Festival for over two hours, trying to collect the entire Harvest Series. Didn't happen. I'm still missing the Sofa, Bed and something else. I have plenty of dupes of other items so maybe I can trade for the rest of the set.

Good ol' Franklin! Spreading the vegetarian holiday message through Wiis everywhere.

Clark loves when his Mii makes silly faces like that.

Here's a look at our houses. I have a lot of Mush furniture simply because it will end up being sort of rare, but as soon as mushroom season is over it's all going back into storage because it is hideous. Note the snowy weather forecast on the TV; I will be very interested to see if that image changes throughout the year.

Clark's house has a toilet, a fan, and a jackhammer. Connect those dots however you like.
