  Reader Wiiaredeep was checking out a PDF that Nintendo put out during E3 2010, and he stumbled on some information that I didn't know about Animal Crossing 3DS. I may have missed this bit since I was running around the show floor, but I don't think I've heard anyone else talking about it.
  
  • In Animal Crossing, players move out on their own to live a life of ease in a village of walking, talking animals. But this time around, unexpected circumstances suddenly put the player in the role of Mayor in a town they’ve only just arrived in. With the help of the many unique townsfolk and one eager secretary, players will enjoy making their new town a better place for all to live in.
  
  That actually sounds like a big change to me! There could obviously be a lot of different gameplay mechanics involved with that situation. Man, now I'm really hyped for this game!

  The cat thinks that this has to chance to be an extremely positive change to the series.
  The cat enjoys playing Animal Crossing, however, it always seems like your character has very little influence over your neighbors and the town. The cat hopes that this changes that.
  
  AND THE CAT HOPES THAT THERE'S AN EASY WAY TO PICK UP WEED
  it takes so long just to pluck all of them

  Nah, Tortimer was probably in some debt, and sold the town to Tom Nook, who then decided to sell it himself to the player who has to pay it off several times, each time increasing the size of the town and what is in it. You know Tom can get his greedy little Raccoon paws on anything to extort the player out of his/her hard earned bells.

  That's pretty awesome. I mean I was expecting another wild world for the 3DS, which is fine I guess ,but I'm glad they realize they need some change in the game to keep it refreshing. I never played City Folk but I heard it was too much like Wild World, even the same items.

  I'm gonna miss Tortimer :(
  
  But getting to run your own town sounds pretty cool.

  City Folk has both the Wild World items and the items/events from the Gamecube Animal Crossing. And the City, and a few minor gameplay changes.
  
  
  
  
  Anyway heck yeah. Looks fun. :)

  Woah, I own city folk, its been a long time though, I bet my town died.

  By now in my City Folk town weeds should have evolved sufficiently
  enough to grow legs and strangle the townspeople.
  But this looks like a cool new twist on Animal Crossing. I'm looking forward to it.

  Personally I still enjoy a playing the normal person, but I didn't like the other characters much.
