== April 2011 Article Rewrite ==


I am currently in the process of rewriting this article. I have removed 90% of the original content, virtually none of which is relevant to the average reader. I will expand the Game play section to summarize AC gameplay, and briefly illustrate the upgrades/additions from [[Animal Crossing (video game)|AC]]. I will also try to expand Reception in general and supply references for most, if not all the review scores. Hopefully I can get this done by tomorrow. --[[User:ThomasO1989|ThomasO1989]] ([[User talk:ThomasO1989|talk]]) 04:34, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

:Awesome job! I think the article definitely qualifies as C-class now. <sub style="color:#00008B;">'''[[User:Blake|Blake]]'''</sub> <sup>([[User talk:Blake#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Blake|Edits]])</sup> 17:29, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Is this game online or is it just for people who are near you? [[User:Thorpe|• Thorpe •]] 23:13, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
This actually makes sense to me who owns the game now. It really helps me with stuff in my town in my eyes you did a good job so thank you very much! Also if I do find anything wrong I will change it for you. [[User:Lavinder111|Lavinder111]] ([[User talk:Lavinder111|talk]]) 11:48, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

:This game is online. It will allow you to communicate and visit other players town from anywhere in the world. I think! <Nikachus01> {{unsigned3|Nikachus01|05:06, 25 July 2005}}


If Animal Crossing: Population: Growing is wrong for the original, then Animal Crossing: Wild World is also wrong, because they BOTH (as well as Animal Crossing: City Folk, and Animal Crossing: New Leaf) all have subtitles.[[Special:Contributions/2602:304:CFD3:2EE0:CCD4:AF14:1495:DCE8|2602:304:CFD3:2EE0:CCD4:AF14:1495:DCE8]] ([[User talk:2602:304:CFD3:2EE0:CCD4:AF14:1495:DCE8|talk]]) 04:17, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
::This is true. Nintendo has stated AC DS will utilize a friends list of sorts, and you can also blacklist people from your village, if they try to do things like chop down trees. Other people can be invited to your village, and kicked out as well (speculative feature). Plus, no one who is not a native of a village can't enter it if no other natives are online (and in the said village). --[[User:Gakon5|gakon5]] [[User_talk:gakon5|(talk)]] 22:17, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
:Like I stated at [[Talk:Animal Crossing (video game)]], your argument ("it's on the box art") is based on [[WP:OR|original research]]. All [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] identify all other AC games as such with the given subtitles, while no reliable sources identify the GameCube game as "Animal Crossing: Population: Growing." --[[User:ThomasO1989|ThomasO1989]] ([[User talk:ThomasO1989|talk]]) 16:18, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

== Name change ==
== Literal translation ==
Here's an IGN article on the new name: [http://ds.ign.com/articles/648/648970p1.html] [[User:Thunderbrand|Thunderbrand]] 22:08, September 8, 2005 (UTC)


Whoever's changing the '''literal''' translation of "森" to "Crossing" needs to stop. Japanese is '''not''' affected by some company who may call its localization a different name, the literal translation of "mori" is "forest", that will never change no matter what Nintendo says![[Special:Contributions/146.163.92.38|146.163.92.38]] ([[User talk:146.163.92.38|talk]]) 21:40, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
:Do you really think you should have changed this? There's nothing on Nintendo's website that says anything about the change. In fact Nintendo has it listed as Animal Crossing DS. [[User:Squid Vicious|Squid Vicious]]


== External links modified ==
::''Nintendo has revealed that the upcoming Nintendo DS version of Animal Crossing has received a new title. The game will henceforth be known as Animal Crossing: Wild World.''


Hello fellow Wikipedians,
::They probably haven't gotten around to changing it on their site yet. [[User:Thunderbrand|Thunderbrand]] 01:16, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

== EU Release Date ==
I've changed the european release date for the game. I got it from here[http://www.nintendo-europe.com/NOE/en/GB/search/search.jsp?searchText=animal+crossing+wild+world&indexName=all] so it should be right. {{unsigned|Orzolek}}

== External links modified ==
there was an article about all the holidays being taken out escept for new years, ass it is not controversal. Theyu want animal crossing to be a INTERNATIONAL game, so not offensive to anyone.

jingle was the part of Sant in the game, so he will be taken out, as will Franklin the turkey, Jack o'lantern, etc.

# Players may only visit another player's town if he or she is online.
# Players may send letters and items to friends via Nintendo WFC, regardless of their online status. To do this, the player sending the mail must be in the letter recipient's town.

does this mean only a player who is online can visit other people's towns, but if that player is online they can visit the town of an offline player and leave them a letter? thanks for any clarification =) and i will post my friends code when i have the game ... [[User:Starpause|Starpause]] 03:40, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

:As I understand it, you can visit someone if both are online, and both have exchanged friend codes. If the other is not online, but you have his friend code, you would "reach" the gates only, where you could leave a message. If the other is online, he would get a notification, and would be able to either accept or ignore the request. I would think the "offline" messages would be stored in Nintendo Wi-Fi network until the other connects, just like ICQ. Of course, this is what I understand from the article. -- [[User:ReyBrujo|ReyBrujo]] 04:27, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

::According to the IGN review [http://ds.ign.com/articles/673/673671p3.html]: ''Players can only send mail to other players by visiting their village and mailing it to them from that player's local post office.'' So, it seems there is no offline messaging system. -- [[User:ReyBrujo|ReyBrujo]] 04:57, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

I own the game and can confirm that thier is no offline measeging service. -[[User:Deathawk|Deathawk]] 17:14, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

The closest thing to that is the Message in a Bottle, which will randomly appear on the beach of a random person's town. There's no way to pick who you're sending the bottle to, I've even gotten my own bottle back on one occasion. [[User:Phred|Phred Levi]] 09:47, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

::Yes, but alexa rankings don't judge how good a site is, just how many people go there. How about one site that's the best for one thing, so there are multiple fansite resources, each one good with one thing, which would be an improvement upon that system, which has slip-ups, like Project Hyrule was the first site to crack the code for the AC for GCN tom nook code system, and they have every code, but were rejected from the AC article due to 'a low alexa ranking'.[[User:68.107.17.239|68.107.17.239]] 23:57, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
:::I don't think that you should exclude fansites altogether, especially since other wiki pages link to fansites. Many of the links are useful, such as Animal Crossing Ahead (for information), AC:WW Live (for friend finding) and a variety of the forums and communities that were (useful for organizing online trading in a moderated setting). What I do object to is people who are using Wikipedia to advertise their sites. These, I think, are obvious from the "THIS IS THE BIGGEST AC SITE ON THE NET" taglines. They may be relevant links, but presented in such a way that users are misled.[[User:67.165.2.106|67.165.2.106]] 03:10, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::I think the review site idea is good, but on the point of advertising, some sites like Project Hyrule made some stuff members only a while back due to it being stolen a lot, so they should say 'sign up needed' if you need to sign up for a forum or something for some info. Either that or make a 'fansites' section for sites that aren't in external links but are worth mentioning, which is just plain stupid, so I go with the former.

::::::::::Okay, I'm going to return Animal Crossing Ahead to the link section as a result of this conversation. Animal Crossing Ahead (www.animalxing.com) has a lot of material available on Animal Crossing: Wild World. Concerned parties should feel free to review this site if they disagree, but I think they'll be pleased. It also does not require any plug-ins to view it, so ReyBrujo should be satisfied. Project Hyrule was a useful Animal Crossing site, but having just googled it, I can't find the Animal Crossing: Wild World information. My understanding is that it's mainly a site for Universal Codes that apply to Animal Crossing (GCN) only. Correct me if I'm wrong. Someone else can feel free to add it if they can clarify where the Animal Crossing: Wild World material is. I'm doubly confused by the different sites listed as "Project Hyrule" when you search for it. Lastly, I would like to return Ac:wwlive to the link section, but I believe it requires a plug-in of some sort (I can't tell and wasn't willing to disable my plug-ins for the sake of testing). However, it offers a specialized service for Nintendo wifi users that I can't imagine would be possible without some sort of a script. So I'm going to wait on a response about that link. Someone else who knows better than I can feel free to put it up. Oh, and I'm also going to add a link to www.nintendowifi.com. It's the official wifi site and I have no idea why no one added it earlier. There's an Animal Crossing wifi hub on that page, but I don't believe you can link directly to it without logging into Nintendo, so I'll just add a link to the main page. First time visitors are redirected to a language site anyway. [[User:67.165.2.106|67.165.2.106]] 04:40, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Well I am sad you guys took out the fan sites. AnimalCrossingWildworld.com has more traffic than the other sites and ACWW fans often are looking for people to converse with or change friends codes to play online. ACWW doesn't even require email authentication to sign up at their forums. In a month there has been over 600 members join and over 20,000 posts. That's a lot more than the other fan sites and it's all targetted to ACWW. oh well...

I am currently in the process of rewriting this article. I have removed 90% of the original content, virtually none of which is relevant to the average reader. I will expand the Game play section to summarize AC gameplay, and briefly illustrate the upgrades/additions from AC. I will also try to expand Reception in general and supply references for most, if not all the review scores.

Name's Wrong.

[edit]

If Animal Crossing: Population: Growing is wrong for the original, then Animal Crossing: Wild World is also wrong, because they BOTH (as well as Animal Crossing: City Folk, and Animal Crossing: New Leaf) all have subtitles.2602:304:CFD3:2EE0:CCD4:AF14:1495:DCE8 (talk) 04:17, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Like I stated at Talk:Animal Crossing (video game), your argument ("it's on the box art") is based on original research. All reliable sources identify all other AC games as such with the given subtitles, while no reliable sources identify the GameCube game as "Animal Crossing: Population: Growing." --ThomasO1989 (talk) 16:18, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well I agree the name is totally right man!Lavinder111 (talk) 18:39, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Whoever's changing the literal translation of "森" to "Crossing" needs to stop.
