Wii Speak, In Action
Have you seen the Wii Speak microphone in action? I haven't. So let's watch, as this sweet, innocent Japanese teenager "meets up" with a friend in Animal Crossing and "does stuff". Can't understand much, but it's clear they both recognise a lobster when they see one, one of them is very insistent they eat chicken for dinner, and they both find the whole experience overwhelmingly cute. If there were a hell for Xbox Live users, surely this would be it.

Animal Crossing Getting WiiSpeak Bundle
According to reports from the recent GameStop managers conference in Las Vegas, Nintendo is planning on shipping a version of Animal Crossing: City Folk with the WiiSpeak microphone packed in. Can't say it comes as a surprise, but the marketing materials we'd seen to this point had all touted the accessory as being sold separately, so we welcome news of the pack-in. More »

Animal Crossing Wii At E3 Already Confirmed?
If Nintendo reveals the Wii iteration of Animal Crossing, we shan't use a single exclamation point in our liveblog upon the announcement. We already know that Nintendo of Japan has tentatively dated the game for a 2008 release at home and just assume that Nintendo of America will follow suit. According to the UK's Official Nintendo Magazine, it sounds like the announcement has already happened.

Is This An Animal Crossing Wii Hint?
While nothing's been confirmed, chances are pretty good that Nintendo will announce Animal Crossing Wii. Hey, it may not! We don't know, but like we said, chances are good.

Watch As K.K. Slider Sings Open The Gates Of Hell
WARNING: Some will try and tell you this is just every K.K. Slider song played on top of each other. They are lying. What's happening here is damaging to eyes, ears and souls alike, and also most likely totally NSFW. Unless you want a portal to the 7th level of Hades to tear itself open beneath your office's floorboards, dragging all and sundry to the fiery, eternal depths below. In that case, knock yourself out.

Life, Death And Animal Crossing
There's little that can be added to this touching web comic, courtesy of del.icio.us, that tells the story of a mother and son's shared experiences in Animal Crossing, so we won't add much. It's something that simply must be read without "spoilers." Suffice it to say, it warrants reading in its original web comic form—seemingly translated from its Korean language origins—or viewing at its YTMND alternate home. We've mirrored the file below.

Gaming's Guilty Pleasures
The ever lovin' Faith over at Destructoid has posted a great list of what she considers to be fourteen of gaming's guilty pleasures. It's quite a list and populated, as one might expect, with a lot of cutesy poo games like Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon and the Pokemon Series. Reading over the list, I was mortified that I play almost half the games on it. That is a lot of guilty gaming for one person, although I tend not care so much what people think of my game choices. I mean come on, I have a pink DS with Mario stickers on it. Does it sound like I care? More » -

Overclock Your DS Without Turning it Off
That's right, some of us are still playing Animal Crossing on the DS (Still?! Why?! Because my town is perfect and it's easier than re-arranging the imaginary furniture on that is making its slow-ass way to Amsterdam), so this hack is right for me and my fellow crossers alley. All you need it some tools left over from the last tenant of your apartment, and voila, it's cheating animals a-go-go. Breaking the thing just might be the result I get, but the instructions are pretty thorough and with pictures. That means it's pretty to look at. More » -

Gorgeous Nintendo Lunch Creations
Typically, parents generally can't be bothered to exert more effort beyond sweeping a dozen artery clogging, obesity causing Lunchables into their shopping cart every two weeks then slapping them into Chubby Timmy's backpack. When I was in elementary school, I set the packed lunch bar low, only hoping for an PB&J sandwich that hadn't been flattened by a Red Delicious and praying that the bananas were some shade of yellow.
