yeah, so this one is way the fuck early, but in the rumor section of the new EGM, they claimed that the sequal was gonna let you design your own furniture.
sounds pretty awesome to me. i also remember reading somewhere that the game will have multiple terrains.
anyways, this one is sure to have online play.
so um...yeah, let's discuss things we want to see in the sequal, and stuff of that sort.
I found the first game to be mostly a chore since the tasks were so tedious. Online play is exactly was the sequel needs. If they focus a lot on online play, I'll probably enjoy it.
For the most part I find online gaming in its current form to be stale and uncreative, but this is one game that could benefit from online features in a major way. The method of trading items in AC was a pain, as was visiting someone elses town. AC2, if online, could fix all that.
I'm glad this series has been succesful so far because AC was the most forward-thinking game Nintendo has made in awhile.
animal crossing 2 has a lot of potential. the game concept is so open-ended, just about anything can be added to the sequel without seeming out of place.
one thing that bothered me about the first game was when your town residents would ask you to join their hockey team or play chess or volleyball or something. of course, you couldn't actually do any of that, but it's a great idea for a sequel. think NES ice hockey, but with animal crossing characters and online play.
My brother is really addicted to the original game, but I haven't touched the game in months.
One thing that bothered me about Animal Crossing is the fact you could store all of K.K. Songs in one radio, yet, you can't do the same for NES. Why the fuck does every NES game needs it's own control deck?
They need to put SNES games in this one, and I agree with Neo's idea.
Also, more sex.
If this went online it would be a lot of fun, if not online at least have online features like downloads and the ability to write mail and send it online through the game, or trade items like that... maybe even auctions :p :)
Unless there is a new developer that's not out of touch with reality and is making this for a different console, no.Quote:

the sports team idea is really cool, if just to have online tournments with classic NES games. 2 on 2 Balloon fight would be awesome.
oh, another thing i'd like to see (if online goes through) is go apeshit with trading, i think flea markets on weekends would be the best way to do this. everone shows up, and puts there stuff on display.
but yeah, now that i think about it, sporting events would be pretty damn sweet. fishing tournaments would be cool, and who knows what else they'll come up with since there's gonna be a more solid multiplayer setup now.
I have to agree with kino, for me, online is not stable enough yet to make it the main focus of the game, but if it were merely a nice extra, then i'm all for it, beyond that, expaded interactivity would be nice, and i would like some more input in the town's development, i remember villigers asking me to put in a theater and library, it would be nice to continue the fund raising thing with modifying the town. also, make the animal's moods stay constant, they seemed to like or hate me randomly wether i had whacked them with a butterfly net the day before, or if i ran 3 missions for them.
Afx is right on with the snes games though, more games the better, and a song style one system thing too, maybe you could get differnet "special" systems like you can get different radios. basically,more stuff to do=better. and for goodness sakes, make the letter writing system more intelligent, it was painfully boring, and i barely wrote letters at all.
I'd buy this game to play online just to screw people over. I'd chop down everyones trees and steal all their shit. FleeMarkets would be fucking great Lucas. I'd be a damn pick pocketer. *yoink*
I'll drop rare dupes by the roadside.
heh, this is why i think full online is a bad idea, its rmember the pk'ing form pso, that got a lot of people(myself and brother included) to dump the dc version, so limited online is best.
Bad analogy time.
I really like them movie Brazil. I just think it's a kick ass film.
I don't watch it that often though. Doesn't mean I don't dig it.
Same with Animal Crossing. I played it pretty much non-stop last year for like 4 or 5 months. But after a while, you do everything there is to do. Or everything you care to do, I'm not that interested in catching all the insects.
I'm still a big fan of the game and the concept.
Online would add that little something to give it legs.
I hope that AC2 earns Nintendo lots of $$- mostly because I want them to see the potential in making a Pokemon MMORPG...
If they do, I'm becoming a lawyer so I can retire at age 30 from all the lawsuits that arise when Timmy kills his school after hearing swear words online.Quote:

Kyo, that's a very good point that I haven't really seen mentioned yet. I'm looking forward to AC 2, hopefully, they put in all the NES games from the original on there, along with more NES and maybe some SNES games.
Brazil IS a kick-ass movie. Terry Gilliam is brilliant AND it has Mona from Who's the Boss.
That WAS a bad analogy, BTW.
Did someone just mention PK'ers and Animal Crossing? How would that work??
OMG! Furries!Quote:
