Not sure I'm liking the sound of this...

You know how you spent the best part of two years tracking down every last bug, fossil, and fish (curse you, Coelacanth) in Animal Crossing: Wild World? Yeah, well Konami wants you to do it again. All of it.

<Insert evil cackle here>

Tongariboushi and the 365 Days of Magic is the company's latest DS venture, and is splashed across the pages of the latest Famitsu. It's already being labeled as a "clone" of Wild World by the internet, and although our inability to read Japanese means we can't confirm just how close it is to Ninty's cuddly life sim, the screens alone seem to suggest a very similar game. It pretty much looks like Animal Crossing: Wild World 1.1.

Not that we're complaining -- after all, Animal Crossing takes our socks and rocks them. It's easy to see why Konami would want to use Nintendo's title as a template. By the end of 2007, Animal Crossing: Wild World had sold over 4.5 million copies in Japan alone, while unofficial sales site VGChartz estimates worldwide sales to be close to 10 million. That's a whole lot of bells that could be sitting in Konami's account.

To be honest with you, I think Animal Crossing for the DS/GC is pretty amusing/entertaining for the most part. I mean, it's not something I'm really into, but I've played / seen it be played some, and it's somewhat entertaining. Something to play in those odd minutes in between things. *shrugs*.

I played Animal Crossing for GC once at my fiance's friend's place with her little bro and sister. SUCKED like NO OTHER!!! Oh dear goodness, talk about crossing GTA with Teletubbies (extra on the purple one).

The only redeeming factor is that I was able to mess with people's minds like selling out the town drug dealers, planting land-mines around my house, and the good ole prank of saying that someone has horrible gas and cannot stop.

Ya, I'm a little messed up inside, but meh, so is the game

That’s a bit of an interesting analogy. I hate to say it even fits. *laughs*. Yeah, this is not the normal type of game you’d catch me playing, but like I said, it can be amusing in small increments.

...Yeaaaah.. I perfer the original Animal Crossing game from Nintendo. Look out Konami, because Mr. Resetti will start lecturing you 24 hours a day.

I swear to god if this new game decided to get rid of a Resetti look-alike, I may have to have sex with them. That mole was godawful. Everytime my little cousins played with it and turned it off without saving, guess who had to sit through the damn lecture? @______@;;

Eh, a copy of a game was bound to come out. It was such a popular franchise and we all know that some other popular franchises have clones. It's entertaining to some degree though, the whole real-time system kind of bothered me since I actually had to wait real time. Or cheat and speed up time, whatever. Whenever the store was closed past 11pm, I'd freak out since late-night was when I did most of my DS gaming.
