Animal Crossing: City Folk/Changes from Animal Crossing: Wild World

This is a list of some of the changes made from the previous two games.

• There is a new city area featuring shops and other places not found in the two previous games.
• Harriet will now change the player's face as well as their hair by replacing their old face with that of a Mii.
• Real-world holidays that were absent in Wild World, such as Christmas and Halloween, have returned.
• Holiday characters, such as Jingle the reindeer, have returned.
• Each player in a town has his or her own house.
• Each player's house is in a different area of town, as opposed to the central hub found in Animal Crossing.
• Players may now change the sleeves, fronts, and backs of their outfits instead of changing the outfit as a whole.
• Players may now change the color of their shoes.
• Instead of talking to Pelly in the town hall, players must use an ABD machine to manage their account and mortgages.
• Towns can have slopes and cliffs in them, similar to the first Animal Crossing game.
• As this is a Wii game, you cannot see balloons flying across unless you press , as before you could see them on the upper screen of the DS.
• Tom Nook's store and Able Sisters are no longer side by side, but in different parts of town just as they were in the original.
• Rover greets you every time you begin play instead of in Wi-Fi.
• During the Fishing Tourney, instead of going to see Tortimer, you show your fish to a beaver called Chip. Also, the Bug-Off features a new character called Nat.
• Grass will wear down over time if walked on repeatedly.
