Nintendo Animal Crossing DLC – Pile of leaves!
Posted on 15 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 2 Comments
So far, Animal Crossing: City Folk owners have been treated to bit of free DLC, ranging from a Pikmin hat to a DS couch, but the most recent might take the cake for most… nonchalant? A pile of leaves was announced to be the DLC for fall in City Folk. While it may fit the season, the actual content is simply a pile of leaves that sits in your house, not really doing much (or looking good.)
Make sure you have WiiConnect24 powered on from September 25th to October 9th if you want the “gift”.

Marvelous: We didn’t have the money to attend TGS this year

“Unfortunately, like many other publishers, we didn’t have a booth at the TGS this year. As you know the market is tough at the moment and Marvelous decided to save the money for other investments.” – Tami Otto, Marvelous
This is really too bad to hear. I’m sure many people that attended TGS would have loved to see Marvelous at the event, though, investing their money elsewhere (perhaps making more quality titles?) certainly isn’t a poor choice.
