Little Magician's Magic Name Change

IGN sneaked a preview and a bunch of videos out for Little Magician's Magic Adventure right before the holidays, and we didn't want to miss the chance to talk about it or to share it with any of you who might not have seen it. The game has another new name for North America: Magician's Quest: Mysterious Times, and IGN's preview makes it sound like a much deeper take on its obvious inspiration, Animal Crossing.
The pictograms that are used to string together spells can also be used to converse with neighbors: "Slide in the "greetings" tile and the characters will say hello back. Get more complex though, and the system allows you to combine these, by say, adding a greeting and then a weather icon to, at least in theory, talk about the weather with a character."
Random day-to-day gameplay is only part of it: the game includes 52 quests, one a week, that use the magic your character learns in school. We're very quickly becoming big fans of this thing! The first video footage is above, and you can see more (or this in a larger window) at IGN.

I can't wait either. This game looks very interesting. I really hope it's way better than Animal Crossing!
