RUMOR - Animal Crossing Wii info

An excerpt from a Wii Cafe article…

A brief chat with a local Nintendo rep led me to some interesting new facts - most notably that Nintendo is hard at work on Animal Crossing for the Wii (no surprise there, but it’s good to know it’s coming). I didn’t get too many details from the guy, but what I can tell you is that it will most definitely be online enabled, just as its DS counterpart was and GameCube counterpart should have been. As far as classic games that were included in the original, no official decision has been made yet as to if they’ll be the Wii version. The coolest little bit of info was the fact that the game will actually connect into your Forecast channel so that the game’s weather will actually reflect what’s going on outside. No release date was specified, but the rep I talked to expected that we should be getting it at some point this year.

Hell if I know if this is real or not. Not too much info included in the post, but there are a couple morsels. What are you looking for in Animal Crossing Wii? Thanks to MetoraTC and Moldy Cheese for the heads up!
