Animal Crossing looks like it was made for the 3DS.
Again the first thing that strikes you about Animal Crossing 3DS is the higher resolution display. Moving from two 2D screens to one 3D screen frees up the lower screen for interaction, as well as answering critics of the largely empty top screen on the DS game.
With that higher resolution comes a higher level of customisation as well. More screen real estate provides more space to lay out your fung shui homestead and display hard won rewards.
The same band of animal characters return, but look like they have brought a few friends with them as well. While key elements to island life are visibly still present - digging, fishing and of course talking - we expect there to be a host of new ways to interact - particularly with the new Wi-Fi sharing mode while you and your DS are out and about.
