As promised, Nintendo has revealed some big new details for Animal Crossing Wii during their E3 press conference. Not only has the game been announced to be released this year, but a new peripheral has also been announced for the game.

Called WiiSpeak, the microphone peripheral will allow players to talk to each other with a new voice chat feature (finally!). Speaking of interactivity features, the game will also allow you to send messages to real world cell phones.

The game was also announced to include a brand new city environment. The city will have a unique auction site, beauty salon, and a "Happy Room Academy," among other things. You can also have your character look like your Mii by giving yourself a makeover (giving yourself a makeover to look like yourself is a weird concept, I know).

Stay tuned for more news coming in from the Nintendo E3 press conference!

You were referring to Wii Speak as the extra accessory!

What's a headset? What's a £150 disk drive add-on? What's a set of headphones for your iPod?

Peripherals and accessories; some of which (namely the 360 disk drive) are pointless rip-offs, others which are necessary for particular functions. The headset and headphones, as well as Wii Speak, are the latter.
