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!

Nintendo Wii Fanboy

We can't
exactly trust the validity of the numbers used to create this list of best-selling games across the three home platforms, since it's just
some guy on Geocities doing it (and he claims that he might alter numbers to deter copying) but they're close enough to our expectations for most games. These numbers are purportedly derived from Enterbrain and Famitsu sales data.
Kotaku reproduced the top and bottom-selling games on each platform, and we think that's a nice way to organize it.
The top ten Wii games are not too surprising, including stuff like
Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Fit, Brawl, and other big Nintendo franchises. The only third-party game on the list is
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, which, of course, is a Mario game!
But the bottom ten is a lot more entertaining, revealing, for example, that poor
Opoona sold only 5,000 copies, as did
Dewy's Adventure. D3's motivation for putting their
Simple games
on WiiWare is made clear by the fact that their
disc-based releases totally bombed. Though not as badly as Hudson's
Puzzle Series Vol. 1 Sudoku, which apparently sold 482 copies total.
It's hard to pick interesting tidbits out of the
middle of the list (which we won't reproduce after the break in the interest of brevity) but apparently
No More Heroes sold just 27,873 copies -- much less than the 84,224 copies of
Mysterious Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer 3 that went out!
