Animal Crossing Review

[Obi]

Tom just reviewd Animal Crossing for those who haven't noticed...uh...comments?

Oh, and he gave it 9/10.

[Behonkiss]

Yeah, I just saw it! Was this the first time?

Oh, and they gave Blanca TOM's face!

[Mek]

9 out of 10.

TOM's got good taste in games. (I am an Animal Crossing fanatic)

Did anyone notice Blanca's face?

Do'h, I didn't notice that(probably doesn't help that I don't know who Blanca is). Anyone want to grab a screen shot of it if/when the review gets put up on the Digital Arsenal?

[Mek]

Blanca is the faceless cat you meet on the train from time to time in 'Animal Crossing'. It's rare that you see her though. Which is quite a shame...

[Conekiller]

another Gamecube game, hot dang! finaly some diversity! what next, Metroid Prime?

[AbsolutionBot]

I saw that, and almost yelled out in surprise. But I was talking with my dad on the phone, so I didn't. Don't exactly remeber what dear ol' pop was talking about though... o o;

[TylerL]

Maybe tomorrow.
I just got home.

[Obi]

Well, it just aired again...

And Tyler, have you ever seen the extended version of the "Sweet and Tasty" commercial and the new MR commercial for G Gundam and G.I. Joe? As far as I can tell, I'm the only one who's ever seen the extended "Sweet and Tasty" commercial (which really just doesn't flow as well as the normal one) since I've never seen anyone else mention it...heh...then there's the shorter G.I. Joe commercial ("The greatest soldiers with the silliest battle cry ever"..)

[Weatherman]

Yeah, good to see a cult hit getting some attention. This could send sales up quite a bit.

[Chad Bonin]

I thought I saw the shorter GI Joe commercial... but what's "Sweet and Tasty"?

[Obi]

The double DB/Z commercial. With all that yellow background...stuff.

[Nin-Nin69]

I've had this game for quite some time now. I don't know about TOM, but I'd play it longer than a year. I'm still raising Seaman's on my Dreamcast.

[Artimus Gigan]

Ya know change the DC's date and Seaman grows...

[TylerL]

Ya know, read the last page, and you've finished the book.

[Wilco911]

So what, the game allows you to edit the cat's face pixel by pixel? Or did WS go back and modify the footage as a joke?

[Chris Sanders MSX]

No. When you get on the train to travel to your friends village you are met by different characters and that character is a faceless cat, it's a random thing. When you first play the game you meet another cat, I forget his name though.

When I saw that Tom was reviewing this I was like OMG. I have that !Ahhh! And it looks like Toonami's rating scale is heavily influenced by fun factor and not graphics..because the game was basically a quick port of the N64 game (Japan Only). Tom should have mentioned you get to play "OG" Nes games. I just got The original Donkey Kong game for my birthday(from one of the animals in my village).

When Nintendo finally gets it's online plans set they need to release a Animal Crossing Online game.

That or they used a GameCube emulator and the hardware to make a copy of the ROM. Then just figure out a way to rip the texture, edit it, and put the modified version back into the ROM and play it off the emulator.

More likely they recorded the footage onto either a tape or computer and then edited that footage.

Only an insane person would do all that other stuff. Are you insane?

[Discloner]

Loved the sigh at the end.
