The game also runs in realtime and utilizes the Nintendo DS' internal clock and calender to keep track of special events that occur on certain dates.
New additions in Wild World include touch screen support and online play.
The touch screen gives players finer control when performing certain activities like designing clothes and creating constellations.
The other major addition, online play, lets up to four players interact with each other through local wireless or via Internet through Nintendo WiFi.
Players can open up their town gates and invite players on their Friends List to visit their town.
Visiting players can chat with each other, play games like Hide-and-Go-Seek, or interact with local residents and shops.
Other additions to Wild World include new characters, items, and events.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Animal Crossing: Wild World for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Animal Crossing: Wild World to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2006.
