Animal Crossing

I connected with Kim today, the first time to connect to another player with Animal Crossing, or Nintendo WiFi at all really. It’s pretty fun. It’s a centralized nintendo service, but the centralization is completely transparent, it just seems like a feature of the game. There is no standardized interface across games for example. Which is somewhat neat, because you can “open a gate to let friends in” or other game-specific activities rather than ones that don’t fit in to the story of the game you’re playing.
