...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.
Hmmm...
To do:
  • There was a demo at E3 2005 (1, 2)
  • The FuturePress or Prima guide has some early screenshots, and a debug mode of some sort.
  • The USA Nintendogs manual has a prerelease version of the logo, and some possibly pre-final screenshots.

E3 2004

The Animal Crossing title for the Nintendo DS was revealed at E3 2004, as "Animal Crossing DS".[1] Like in the final game, it was said that the Touch Screen would be used for typing in letters, designing patterns, and handling the inventory. At the time, the game had no release date.

A short gameplay trailer was also released, and was originally based off Doubutsu no Mori for the Nintendo 64. Though, some sound effects are different and there is no music featured in the video.

Fall 2004

Things have stayed quiet until the middle of October. Details were revealed on the Japanese Nintendo website, and would follow the traditional Animal Crossing gameplay of living in a village, and making money.[2]
