I love the series, despite all it's short comings it's simple gameplay mechanic remains firm and is still the major draw. Wide World in truth was not the major step up I had expected from the first title, this was no doubt due to the flash card capacity available for the DS, but now there can be no excuse on many fronts. I want to see vast improvements, g dammit I demand them!.
Your own little AC fant ez?.
My own:
More of everything, a vast new very sizable town with more complexity in characters for your older gamer- ie much better characterization with interlinking stories.
A dedicated downloadable channel, with downloads available, and other great features.
A revised message board system that utilizes the Wii friends address book but using a new interface on the new channel, more customization of chara. A town editor, and a invitation system using the dedicated channel, longer speech bubs, urban or natural settings, a market place, a marina a port for going sailing with friends or other locations to engage in conversation. Tons of wii remote functionality also using the Nunchuk for mini games in a arcade room like XBLA.
I could go on......
I would also like to see a Pixel art gallery, where you can post your creations on your Wii friends in game message boards, there could be competitions also , and i would also like to see the same interface used to make banners for your own parties that you arrange by invitation using a new dedicated channel.
I would like to see a temple monk who has a secret addiction to certain foodstuffs* and bestows blessings on you and those in your town with visible results.
It would be good to have a town witch who searches for strange items to put in her cauldron*. Everyone in town could be scared of her and her little black cat* except for you.
I would like to see a truffle hunt where you have to search using a friend in AC who looks suspiciously like a pig, biggest truffle wins of course.
I would also like to see a town arcade where excellent mini games can be played but for the price of bells.
A AC plaza with side market and coffee shop to talk to friends.
I would also like to be able to send other stuff to friends using a horse and cart delivery service that takes ages.
Greater customization of both your home and garden inc water features, with competitions for them and items that can be bought to improve the way they look.
A town windmill that you can climb to the top of to look down on the progress of your town.
A Jewellery shop owner ( a blackbird ) who loves horses.
A town hermit who never leaves his cave (a bear), but will rely on you on occasion, he eats bugs to survive, so times are plentiful in locust swarms for him and his white pet rat.
A town artist, who is good friends with the fortune teller.
A town musician who searches for a "magical" melody, there are no trees where he lives and he keeps a white cat* for company who drags in the strangest of things every evening*
A town stables where mucking out is required, and a blacksmith who is covered in soot all day who is searching for precious metals for his lady friend, he can be found in the forest mine on occasion.
A town doctor who prescribes herbal remedies, some of which must be found in a vast wooded area, you will never be ill, but friends in town may, so you can visit or send them gifts and personalised cards to cheer them up.
A treasure hunt game.
Hide and seek, for when friends come over - hotter-colder .
A lighthouse keeper, and maybe the odd ship wreck if he runs out of candles.
A stray Nintendog.
A town bakery selling the cutest cup cakes* in AC.
A town wishing well, that works on keywords not divinity, you can climb down the well and secretly read peoples little wish scrolls and then try to fulfill them ( that's what id do in real life )
A fortune telling hippy type, who foresees great changes in the town, her light remains on a night but she never answers as she is in deep trance, she also chants during most of the day.
Rats and a Rat catcher who happens to play a flute.
Cupid cup cakes*.
Collecting Honey for the town bakery.
A friendship with a little songbird that you can use to win competitions.
A air balloon ride.
A wide selection of different shoes for the female gamers . ( primarily).
A town crisis once in a while, like a Rat infestation or even locusts when you have to don the Bee suit and spray the town trees with natural spray.
A lonely homeless character with a pet black rat, he looks suspiciously similar to the hermit that lives in the cave in the forest.
A telegram service at the post office. ( Wii friends)
A Astronomer who is brothers with the Doc , he was once friends with the fortune teller before she started chanting during the day as he tried to get to sleep.
I want themes tunes for the seasons ,and for the weather conditions within them.
I want customizable door bell entry to the houses using the A button and Wii remote speaker, tunes can be downloaded from Wii connect and implanted into the game via the dedicated channel.
I want a skipping contest as seen in Wario W, and a patta-cake game using the Nunchuk and remote also, for good measure lol.
I want all the neat little graphical touches from cool lighting effects and water effects that the Wii can easily support, like little frogs eating dragon flies, and other animation quirks, like hats blowing off on a windy days, or umbrella's upturning.
SSD card functionality and Mii support.
I want a hammock outside that I can sleep in during the summer, one that swings, and can be tied anywhere between two trees.
I want a Tatami room like my Nintendog Bowser has. (a black Shibu Inu)
I would like to see the inclusion of a hand telescope.
I would really love to be able to design a patterns for my kite, and spend some time flying my kite on Kite Hill using the remote
Double beds
Moby the whale (white) wears one of Tom Nooks (blue) bells for a hat. He is used by Nook to transport goods across the open seas, on arrival in port he sprays his spout and rings the bell on his head, he then opens his mouth ready for goods to be loaded. Moby is HUGE!, while inside strange echo-fied whale song can be heard. A lantern is needed in order to see what's inside. When the bell rings again his mouth re opens on the port of a friends town and you can unload or pick up various items according to instruction manifest of Nook's, who surprisingly also happens to have a retail outlet at the other end also
Flora the florist, her father is Captain Cody the fisherman of AC, she loves to be given new species of flowers, she has as liking for Orchids and perfume.
A Pleasure Island resort, it has Coconut trees that can be found on the islands beaches. A vacation resort where everyone in AC W friends can play games and interact in the environment unlike at home. You will receive a brochure in the mail and the cost of a ticket will be a high price of bells. You can invite friends- this would work using the new dedicated channel so that the resort could constantly change due to updates, meaning the re playability of the game and draw of it would be greatly increased. I would also like to be able to buy saplings of the Coconut trees trees so that they can be grown during the summer months at home.
The famous Birdo's egg n spoon race, top prize wins the infamous golden egg that will bring fame and fortune to all that possess it.
Captain Cody the fisherman, his boat is waiting on various parts from another island and needs help fulfilling orders for Gilly's fishmongers in town. His swabbie left him after finding a giant pearl, he now searches himself so he can buy a Yacht and sail around wide world.
Please post your own ideas, crazy as they may be just make sure they are viable possibilities. Post non story based ideas relating to the game mechanics, graphics, sound and use of the Wii Remote.
