It's not much, but at least it's something - new gameplay video.

Update: New screenshots reveal the name of the Easter Bunny - Zipper

And here they are:

There's a calendar at the game's Japanese website that offers a new gameplay video every day! Just go there, click on the calendar, and pick a date

Thus far we have:

2/10 A walk in the village
3/10 Going to the city
4/10 Fishing
5/10 Hair salon

Update: I spotted a new video @ GameTrailers from Nintendo's conference a few days ago that had somehow managed to slipped me by, revealing the following:

- Balloons! That you can run around with. Yaay

- We're finally able to listen to Totakeke together in multiplayer!

New preview @ IGN who had a chance to play the game in San Fransisco last week!

- Pressing up on the D-pad tilts the camera upwards to let you look at the sky
- During the bussride at the beginning of the game - you'll be asked if you're moving in from Wild World and are then prompted to start the game to transfer your catalog and inventory
- Instead of pressing a button to use the net, axe, and rod you can just flick the Wiimote
- There is now a little bird sitting atop the message board next to the Town Hall

- The release date appears to be "late november", so maybe it won't be out on the 16th but more like during the third or fourth week instead?

 

[ConraDargo]

And another quick one: I've spotted several websites, such as this one, reporting that the game will be launched in Europe on December 5th - which is also the date when the WiiSpeak channel goes live!

 

[ConraDargo]

66 (!) new screenshots from the Japanese version has been posted here (website in Swedish).

Just wanted to say thanks for keeping up with all the coverage!! I'm really excited for this game as well!! I really love Animal Crossing!

 

[ConraDargo]

You're much welcome! I can't believe this thread has already passed 4,000 views

I'm really glad to see that you appreciate my work here! Just one more month and we'll all be playing together

 

[Defiance]

If it doesn't lag like shit, I would also like to play with you!

Am I wrong? But so far I've heard there will be no gesture-based stuff, such as when chopping trees or watering flowers? I just don't get it. Of all the games to come to Wii, Animal Crossing seems like the perfect game to put motion-based gameplay in without much worry of screwing anything up.

Yeah, this was the case at E3 when several websites reported that the game had no motion-based gameplay!

BUT, as I said just a couple of days ago:

"There will be some motion-based gameplay after all! Like twitching with your Wiimote to catch fish."

We now know that the net, axe and fishing rod may be used by simply flicking the Wiimote instead of pressing a button.

Didn't they have balloons that you could hold in the original Animal Crossing?

Anyway, that's pretty cool that you can listen to him in multiplayer. Maybe he'll let everyone decide on a song, and choose one at random...
Or maybe karaoke with WiiSpeak..XD

Only a month and a few days left!

Not that I know of - I sure never found any :/

IGN gets their hands on not only the game, but WiiSpeak as well!
