New Animal Crossing Details Released!

At Nintendo's E3 Press Conference, details were unveiled for the new Animal Crossing game that is coming to the Wii later this year. Even more emphasis is being put on communication and providing players with a place to connect with each other in this iteration of the game.

New communication features include the ability to write letters and send pictures to other players as well as the ability to post to the Wii message board. Players will also have the ability to untilize Nintendo's new "Wii Speak". Wii Speak is being described as a community microphone system where players can enter various channels and speak with a variety of other players at one time. A good idea in theory; however, with the slew of issues other systems have with voice chat it will be interesting to see what measures Nintendo will take to keep their voicechat profanity/racisim free.
