Animal Crossing: City Photo Contest

by JC Fletcher { Jan 5th 2009 at 3:00PM }

One of the more fun, and less discussed, new gameplay additions in Animal Crossing: City Folk is the ability to take snapshots and save them to an SD card for sharing. Nintendo and their Digicam Print Channel partner, Fujifilm, are taking advantage of the new functionality with a new contest for Japan designed to encourage online photo sharing.

Until January 28, photos uploaded to the special Animal Crossing section of Fuji's photo sharing site, Fotonoma, will be eligible for entry in a contest. Winners in each of two themes (favorite photos and shots showing off fashion) will receive prizes, including a new Fuji digital camera, a Wiimote and Nunchuk, or Animal Crossing postcards. It sounds like a fun and novel way to interact with other Animal Crossing fans while possibly winning stuff!

Before AC:CF came out I rarely made use of the Photo Channel on the Wii. But now, with many many AC snapshops on my SD card, it's great to use the slideshow function. It's just a shame that they didn't integrate slideshow functionality into the game itself. For example, it would be nice for a town guest to be able to flip through your photo album. Or it would be nice to simply launch a slideshow from within the game. Etc.

That would be cool.

But that would require more work on the AC:FC team. And I mean look at how much work they really did... Some motion sensitive controls, a small-ass city, and an ATM. God forbid they add anything else to this otherwise completely ported title...
