Top billing on IGN's DS site is an interview with producer Katsuya Eguchi on the upcoming Animal Crossing DS. Some confirmed features:
- Hats and glasses, not just shirts.
- Sky effects like watching balloons float away, interfering with the appointed rounds of the mailman, and creating constellations for your town at night.
- A rewards card like system for Tom Nook's shop.
- Opening your town to your internet friends (by invitation only) over WiFi. You have to go to someone's town to send them mail, which is pretty annoying; surely they could have made it so you can send something from your own town to be delivered as soon as you're both online.
- New characters and items, but about the same amount of each as in the GameCube version.
- No NES games: they "took players away from the adventure."
Sounds pretty cool, all in all! IGN also has a hands-on from E3. It'll be nice to type with the stylus instead of the gamepad.
i can't wait for this game it's so cool there are over 1500
