Animal Crossing: City Folk: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides)

This book has a lot of great info, and it is helpful in many ways, but there are a lot of mistakes in it:

page 17: "Deposit Gifts"
it says when you donate 10,000 bells you get the box of tissues, and 1,000,000 you get the piggy bank. at 10,000 you actually get the shopping card, then at 100,000 you get the tissues. at 1,000,000 you get a GOLD shopping card, and at 10,000,000 you get the piggy bank.

on page 135 it shows several models (house models and town hall) and they say they are spotlight items available from Nook's for 1,800 bells. these models are NOT for sale, the houses you get through HRA points and the town hall model you get after you've had a town for one year.

page 161: the new year's shirt 2011 is pictured as the alternate "Frog shirt" which is actually a regular shirt you buy at able sisters. the new year shirt should be of a bunny, as they are based on the chinese zodiac animals

Animal Crossing: City Folk: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides)

I played Animal Crossing a few years back when it was released for the Game Cube. It was a fun distraction that my partner and roommate spent a lot of time on. So when I heard it was being released for the Wii, with added features, I was kind of excited.

I discovered that there is a pattern to the questions Rover (the Cat on the bus) asks you, which would determine what style of face your character gets... after the fact, of course.

I ordered this on the same day I ordered my AC:CF. It's been a huge help. While there is basically not a lot of huge changes in CF from WW, the book shows all the furniture types (and how they look layed out in a room), all the bugs, fish, fossils, gyroids, pictures, clothes etc. It also shows you how to get things like the silver and gold tools, how much you need to donate to get certain items, which visitors give you what, and how to get them, etc.

There is 2 full pages dedicated to each month to show what fish/bugs are available at that time, which holidays there are and even who's birthday it is.

This book is absolutely recommended to the AC:CF players...especially if this is the first time they've played.
