Animal Crossing: City Folk gets a name change for Australia.

Before I begin, let me recap that this is not the first game to receive a name change before it hit Australian shores. Super Mario Strikers was redubbed Mario Smash Football, and Wario Land: Shake It was renamed to Wario Land: The Shake Dimension. But unlike those name changes, this one isn't only utterly needless, but actually makes you want to just forget about buying the game altogether. Australian Wii owners (and possibly European), I present to you: Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City.

The name change came completely out of the blue, and seems rather kiddy compared to the original "City Folk". It's currently unknown if the same fate awaits Europe. Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City recieved a G rating for "Gaming Experience may change Online".

City Folk is so much better and I'm keeping it as the title for my article.

Unhappy Re: Animal Crossing: City Folk gets a name change for Australia.

*sighs* :( I'm sure there is no real diplomatic reason for the name change. I have no examples off the top of my brain (name changes from bad to good) other than "Pokemon", but some games would have been, in my opinion, better with it's original name, like "Bio-Hazard", (Resident Evil) to name a few of them. Honestly, game localization teams (those who deal with pushing the product) shouldn't tamper with things like that, unless the game's name is called "Down With America" or " Return of the KKK", leave it as is. Alot of the process deals with 20 or so people trying to figure out what "America" wants by telling us what were going to like. Don't change my game's name, just open your mind, just alittle.
