Animal Crossing City Folk for thrifty folk

by JC Fletcher on Mar 13th 2009 11:30AM

It's not too often that a major first-party Nintendo release gets a price drop. That makes today's Amazon deal of the day, Animal Crossing: City Folk, somewhat of a novelty. If you thought $50 was too high for what seemed like a minimal content upgrade over Wild World, how does $30 sound? We're guessing it's going to sound pretty good to a lot of people -- enough people that Amazon will run out of stock before the end of the day.

As usual, the person who benefits most from this deal is Tom Nook. Sometime within the 5-8 day Free Super Saver Shipping period, Tom Nook is going to find himself with a veritable army of new indentured residents.

It's at a decent enough price for the content. However I don't know whether or not the casual audience will play the game as it's meant to be played (almost daily). I've purchased the game+microphone bundle at $70.00 USD and didn't really enjoy it, but for $30.00 sans mike it makes more sense. Both of my (grown) sisters enjoy it though so that's something. Still, I could see the game sell out.

And it's true that Tom Nook is the creepiest mobster imaginable. Seriously. Owing 124,000 bells after upgrading my house ONCE caused me to stop playing...

I really wish I wanted this game. Still, I guess it's not for me really. I have Wild World.
It's interesting that you stopped playing because you owed money Wolfcoyote. Most people I know stopped because they weren't in debt any more.

I got this for my brother when it came out for $50. I regret it a bit because he doesn't play it as much as I thought he would. He's more into the DS one, but that's probably because we play together sometimes and the Wii version doesn't have much to offer that the DS version doesn't have. The city is nice and all, but I found the gameplay too repetitive on the DS version, so playing it again on the Wii isn't really enticing.
