Reported by Virtual Worlds News, it’s currently rumored that the Wii incarnation of Animal Crossing would not only be online enabled, but leaning more towards the virtual world model. All signs point to yes so far, and I will be jump on the opportunity to play that. The WiiConnect24 capability is woefully under utilized with the party games craze on Wii. There’s so much potential and so many possibilities, bigger and more than the PC. By design/definition the Wii is way more accessible to the average users than the PC. MySims could have done that, but alas it didn’t.

I do hope though, by then we actually get official Wii keyboard support. Right now it’s unofficial/unannounced and only work in certain places.
