More AC City Folk Details
Written on 4:09 PM by Chris
Here's some details on the game taken from the screenshots and movie shown at E3.
Using the video from the E3 conference, I will try to give some more discussed details.
- Ax is another returning tool, along with shovel
- Custom clothes available during holidays
- Options to talk and other things like that come from a toolbar that pops up from the bottom of the screen
- Camera is a new option, probably used to take screenshots and send to friends.
- Capp'n can take you to the city in a bright yellow bus
- Happy Room Academy is back, and you can compare with friends in the city with Lyle, who seems to be into less shady work
- Harriet can make you look like your Mii
- Town hall hasn't changed, but you can send messages to other players and attach pictures to towns or Wii messageboards, even cellphones and computers
- Wii Speak allows rooms of players to talk to other people, Nintendo's version of voice chat (more social)
- Fishing is back!
Using the screenshots provided, I will try to give all the details that weren't discussed.
- Gamecube style of going screen-to-screen is gone, now it more like the DS version of a smooth, round world.
- Fishing is back!
- Shell collecting is back!
- Old furniture from the other game make an appearance in this version too, along with sets.
- Fish collecting and fossil collecting is back!
- Capp'n drives a bus, what happened to the cab?
- Flags are used, don't know if they are customizable yet.
- Make your own constellation with the stars is back!
- Visiting the city/other towns still done by going through the gate.
- Flowers are back, probably hybrids and stuff like that, watering can is back.
- Floating presents on balloons is back, so slingshot will probably be another tool.

That sounds awesome, but I think you made a mistake. You said that the watering can is a new tool, and it's not. It appeared in Wild World first. Anyways, thanks for sharing all this info! This is where I come to get all my AC news.
