Online connectivity
The box art for Wii Speak, a voice communication tool used for online play in Animal Crossing: City Folk.
Animal Crossing: City Folk is the first Wii game to use Wii Speak, a new microphone option for the Wii which enables voice communication over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. With Wii Speak, all people in a room may communicate with those in another room also containing the device, and can also have live text chat using a USB Keyboard.[2] Players can communicate with other players by sending messages to either their town, Wii Message Board, mobile phone or personal computer.
An auction house run by Lloid, a Gyroid, is available in the city and is where players can auction off items to other players via Nintendo WFC. There is also an office for the Happy Room Academy run by Lyle, where players can see how well other players' towns are progressing.
It has also been confirmed there will be free downloadable content, such as new furniture and items, that will be released periodically.[3]
The game supports Nintendo DS connectivity functionality. Instead of creating a new character in City Folk, owners of Animal Crossing: Wild World can instead import their Wild World character. Only the character's face, hair (including color and style), and catalog (the items purchasable from Tom Nook) are imported; Bells and items owned by the character (including items in the character's inventory, house, town, or dressers) are not transferred. The data in Wild World is not modified when a character is copied to City Folk, so the character can continue to be played on the DS as well. Items from the character's catalog can be repurchased with bells from City Folk.[6] Additionally, the DS can be used to transfer characters between Wii consoles as a means of visiting other player's towns via DS Download Play.
