Possible Stupid Title for Animal Crossing 3DS.

[JasonBurrows]

To all that remembered that Nintendo messed up the European Wii Game Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City
If they get lazy again, they could and most likely will call it Animal Crossing: Let's be the Mayor.

Sadly it might happen or it may not, but that title really ruined it for me in Europe.

How about Animal Crossing: Wild World at War?

That outta sell fast.

How about Animal Crossing: Let's think of a really long, boring and extremely excessively stupid European title

A title really bothers you that much?

@Jas0n They could have done soooo much better.
City Folk would have been acceptable.
I don't see why they changed it.

Folk is a Germanic term and has no acceptable translation into Romance languages, and it's very hard to pronounce in many languages. It would just come out as City People, which doesn't sound a lot better than "Let's Go to the City". They just wanted something that's easy to translate & say.

"Folk" can always be mis-pronounced as "****" in a lot of accents quite easily, too.

I don't really like "Animal Crossing: Let's be the mayor" It's got humor to it, but I really don't like it.

The Japanese, European, and Korean versions all have the same name (though in different languages).
It is the North American version that has the unique name.

How did "lazy" Nintendo "mess up" the European version name?

Even from an American stance I feel the European/Japanese/Korean titles are really stupid. "Let's Go to the City" makes it sound like it's a game just for kids, which doesn't lend well to adolescents and adults looking to pick up a copy. "City Folk" is a pretty abominable title, too, though.
