XTC- The Everyday Story of Smalltown

Note-
I'm going to be doing commentaries on certain things in the gaming or real world. You're free to express your opinions, I'm free to express mine. Don't bitch about mine TOO much.


Commentary-

Wi-Fi may turn out to be the next big move for anybody, but certain steps it's taking aren't without their faults. For instance, Animal Crossing: Wild World. ACWW is a great game and surpasses the original in many ways, a major being visiting other people's towns. However, it's not as big a blessing as you're thinking.
You have to know the person. You have to register their Wi-Fi ID# with Copper before they can Wi-Fi connect to your town. There's nothing you can do with this feature if nobody near you has ACWW so that you can add them in. Three strikes already? Sad.
Don't get me wrong, I love this game. However, there could have been less restraints. Sure, it's to prevent people from traveling to random towns and doing something they shouldn't, but why not work it like Mario Kart DS or Tony Hawk Sk8land and connect you with someone in a similar situation like you? You know: financially, the way they act to their townsfolk, maybe how big their house is. It'd all be good. There could have also been tags for people like: Tree Cutter, Spender, Loner; things to identify the kind of person they are based on what they do when they play, and this would update automatically and could not be changed by a player, only how they act. It'd be a lot better for hooking up with someone and being consciencious about them.
These are all good ideas and if something similar would have taken place, I would have enjoyed the Wi-Fi a little more.

I DO know my Wi-Fi ID#. If you wish to know mine, or can't find yours, just note me. I'd be happy to spill the beans, to some extent.
