Getting Started

Note to Parents: Animal Crossing: City Folk allows players to communicate with friends in

game via real time text chatting and voice conversations (Mic Chat). Players can also send

letters to friends. Players can design items which may be seen when playing online via

Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. If you would like to disable these features, please go to the Wii

console’s system settings and set the communication restriction in Parental Controls.

“DS Suitcase”

Use your DS to visit a friend’s town

or return to your own town

What is the DS Suitcase?

The DS Suitcase lets you visit your friends’
towns when they aren’t playing.

.

Going Out

Going Home

Starting a New Game

The fi rst time you play, you will register a character. To create a new character, when Rover appears,
choose “Start fresh!” and follow his instructions to enter the time, your nickname, and other
information. When you’re done, your life in town will begin. Up to four players can live in a town.

Animal Crossing: Wild World Player Data

If you have player data from Animal Crossing: Wild World for the Nintendo DS™, you can play as that
character in Animal Crossing: City Folk. Follow the steps below to send your save data from your
Nintendo DS to the Wii Console.

* You can transfer your DS character’s face, name, and part of your catalog. (p. 12). You cannot transfer
the items in your pockets, Bells, and other items. Also, you will need to re-register your town name.

* Even if you transfer your Animal Crossing: Wild World data to your Wii Console, you won’t lose your
character on your DS.

Transfer your DS character.

When Rover asks you if you want to start fresh or move, choose “Move from DS!”

Prepare your DS.
With the Animal Crossing: Wild World Game Card inserted, turn on your

Nintendo DS and choose DS Download Play. Select the Moving Van panel
when it appears.

Touch Screen

Transfer data.

Once the data is transferred from the DS, you can register that data as a player.

Continuing Your Game

When you already have player data registered, four options
will appear: “Yeah!” “DS Suitcase,” “Before playing…”
and “Other things.”

“Yeah!” (Go to town)

If you choose this option, a list of all the players living in your town will appear. Please choose the
player whose game you’d like to continue. If you choose “I’m new!” you can register a new player.

Using the DS Suitcase

Get ready to go out.

Using the player you want to take out, go to the gate (p. 16).
Talk to Copper and choose “I wanna go out!” and “DS Suitcase.”

Turn your Nintendo DS on and select DS Download Play. Select the Suitcase
panel to download the DS Suitcase. Once you’ve done so, close your DS with the
power still on to put it into Sleep Mode. Then take your DS to your friend’s Wii.

Enter your friend’s town.

Start up your friend’s Wii Console, and when Rover appears, choose “DS Suitcase.”
Choose “Connect to the Wii” and transfer the player data. When you’re done,

turn the power off on the DS.

Get ready to go home.

Follow the same steps you used when you left your town to transfer
your player data to the DS

Return to your town.

.

Start up your game, talk to Rover, and choose “DS Suitcase.” Once the
connection with the DS is confi rmed, choose “I’m back!” to return to your town.

Choose “Connect to the Wii” when the prompt appears on the TV.

DS Suitcase Tips

• Don’t turn the power off on the DS containing the downloaded data until you’ve
transferred the data to a Wii Console. A message will appear on the DS when it’s safe
to turn off the power.

• Whenever you go out, be sure to go home at the end of your session. If you don’t go

home, you will lose the Bells and items you had when you left.

• If you start a session with a player before that player has returned, you won’t be able

to save the player data from your DS.

• If you delete a player or town before a player has returned, the player data that has

gone out won’t be able to return. Be careful.

“Before playing…”

Adjust the sound, text display, or WiiConnect24 settings.

Sound Set what the animals sound like when they speak. To mute them completely,

choose “Shhhh!”

Text Entry Choose how you’d like to enter text when you chat with friends (p.22)

and write letters

(p. 9).

Menus Set whether you want pop-up explanations to appear when you hover over menus.

WiiConnect24 Set whether or not to connect to WiiConnect24™.

*You can also change this setting when you meet Rover on the bus
to the city.

*You can’t set your WiiConnect24 to on in the game if the WiiConnect24
settings on your Wii console are turned off.

“Other things”

Change the time on your clock or erase your player or town data.

Clock The clock displays the Wii’s time and date by default, but you can also change

the time by choosing “Set the clock.”
Choose Confi rm after setting the month, day, and year, then set the time and

choose Confi rm again. If you change the time, any turnips you have could be
spoiled or presents in the mail could be lost.

House Demolition If you choose to tear down your house, you will erase the player

data associated with that house. Player data that has been erased
can’t be restored, so be careful.

Rebuild the Town If you choose to rebuild the town, all players who live there will also be

erased. Again, data that’s been erased can’t be restored, so be careful.

About Saving

To save, either lie down in your bed in the attic or select (p. 7).

The game saves automatically before and after you go out.

You need 36 blocks of memory in your Wii system memory to save.

To save pictures you’ve taken, you also need an SD Card

(sold separately) (p. 11). You can only save one town per Wii console.

System Menu Update

Please note that when fi rst loading the Game Disc into the Wii console,
the Wii will check if you have the latest system menu, and if necessary
a Wii system update screen will appear. Press OK to proceed.
