Animal Crossing: Let’s Go To The City (Wii)
May 21st
I bought a giant moon. 32,000 bells well spent, I feel.

We have a new neighbour! She’s a kangaroo called Matilda. Seems nice, but we didn’t talk much.

Awesome.
Still.
Finished the story with my wife last night, then leapt straight into the Director’s Cut version. I was expecting something terribly difficult, but we finished the first level without dying. Hooray!
Once we’d done that it was bedtime, but we played a quick go of the survival mini game before turning off the console. Goodness me, but there are a lot of zombies there! The riot cop zombies are just as annoying in that mode as they are in the main game. I’m really not sure how best to deal with them – shooting their shields seems to lose you your combo. Hmm.
Anyway, as I may have already said, this game is awesome.

Ah, yes, this is what I wanted.
Played through the first five levels with my wife last night and it was awesome. Lots and lots of zombies to shoot in the face (chest, arm, leg, etc.) and, well, that’s about it. A lovely grindhouse-style presentation and fast-paced, well-designed arcade action.
For my wife and me, that just about equals perfection.

No new resident to replace duck. I am hoping for Frobert or Big Top, my favourite animals in the DS version. Found some gyroids last night, which was nice. Redd sold me a fake painting AGAIN.

Look, duck, if you’re going to move out, do it. Don’t hang around in a house full of empty boxes telling us you’re going.

Forgot to play on Saturday. D’oh. Played yesterday, but didn’t get on until after nine, so Nook’s was shut. Bother.
What’s interesting and slightly worrying is that Pate is moving out. She twice asked my wife if she should move and my wife said no; she never mentioned moving to me. So, unlike the DS version, it looks like there’s no sure why to prevent your neighbours from moving out. That’s not good at all. If either of the pandas decide to go, I shall be very upset.

So, last night, I played Animal Crossing and I, er, um, nope I’ve got nothin’. I talked to some animals, definitely. Um… that’s it.
