Nintendo have announced the pricing structure for an Animal Crossing: Let’s Go to the City and Wii Speak bundle, coming to the UK.

Known as Animal Crossing: City Folk in the US, Let’s Go to the City is the subtitle for Animal Crossing when it hits the Wii in the UK later this year (December 5th, apparently). Animal Crossing could be explained as a game where you’re basically on an endless holiday, where you can interact with anything and anyone, allowing you to go fishing, collect shells, dig a garden, go trick-or-treating on Halloween or catch fireflies. Previous iterations have also been lauded for their use of real-world holidays occurring in the game using the machine’s internal clock.

Wii Speak, on the other hand, is a device for the Wii that acts as a microphone and speaker, essentially allowing everybody in one room to listen and speak to other, online players, without the need for individual headsets.

A Wii Speak and Animal Crossing bundle has been announced for the UK, yours for £59.99 or, individually, you can get Wii Speak for £25 or Animal Crossing for £39.99. So much choice!

If you were a fan of Animal Crossing: Wild World for the DS you will know why so many gamers were happy that a release date was finally stamped on Animal Crossing for the Wii.

Officially revealed as Animal Crossing: City Folk, the game is a community simulation that sees players participating in daily activities ranging from fishing, collecting shells or watching fireworks to building snowmen, decorating your house or exchanging presents with friends.

Up to four players can enjoy the game, alternating, while 2 – 4 players can step into the Animal Crossing world via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The game makes use of the new WiiSpeak microphone (sold separately) which sits on top of the sensor bar and picks up conversation in the room.
