Welcome to Thumb Bandits journey
into the Wild World of Animal Crossing.
Unlike it's gamecube predecessor, Animal
Crossing Wild World allows quite a bit
of customisation of both characters
and environments. This led to the idea
of this article.. setting up Animal
Crossing characters in various well
known settings and / or as well known
celebrities / gaming characters and
/ or situations.
We'd like to invite those of you who
love this game to join in the fun and
send us any you've thought of, either
by way of Private Message to GirlyGamer
or an actual screenshot you've taken
yourself. This article will be ongoing
as no doubt new pictures will arise.
We hope you find it enjoyable and it
gives you a giggle.

Review HERE.

 |
| 'Brokeback
Mountain' won lots of awards recently
at the Octavias. The story of
gay cowboy love was a huge hit
in Animal Crossing Wild World. |
|
 |
| The
beautiful film 'Memoirs of a Geisha'
also did well at the Octavias,
but failed to win Best Picture.
Rumour has it she won the heart
of Pinky though. |
|
 |
| Where
do the best dancers go when they're
gone? Well they move into Animal
Crossing, that's what Fred Astaire
did. His review show is a hit. |
|
 |
| Movies
stars allegedly murdered by the
mob, feel Animal Crossing town
is far safer than Hollywood. Marilyn
Monroe thinks so. (cleavage and
all) . |
|
 |
| Groucho
Marx moved in recently, he likes
hanging out at the library and
hitting on Pelly and Phyllis in
the Post Office. Wocka wocka. |
|
 |
| Hells
Kitchen star Gordon Ramsay just
can't resist using harsh language**,
even in the peaceful Hamlet (or
omelette -Ed) of Animal Crossing.. |
|
 |
| Animal
Crossing has a seedy side, it's
a safe haven for those wishing
to lead armies and rule worlds.
By day he's a grocer. |
|
 |
| Jason
Vorhees was spotted lurking in
the woods near the lagoon. He
hasn't been seen since and neither
has popular resident Twiggy. |
|
 |
| Gordon
Freeman** and the Combine come
together in a sort of truce, though
Gordon doesn't look so sure and
who can really blame him. |
|
 |
| The
LARP group in Wild World is thriving,
but everone wants to be a Paladin.
Oh well, LARP armour available
at Ables.. |
|
 |
| Call
of Duty, one of the greatest war
titles ever released finds its
way into Animal Crossing, but
they only use rubber bullets. |
|
 |
| It's
a me, Mario! Yes of course the
moustached one finds his way into
Animal Crossing, he's the local
plumber. Luigi is the local handyman. |
|
Why? Well it's simple really. Animal
Crossing on the Gamecube lacked the
ability to change the looks of in game
characters to any huge degree. Animal
Crossing Wild World on the Nintendo
DS opens this up and it's a lot of fun.
So why not? It's something different,
which is always good.
We'll be adding to this as new things
become available. We'd also love to
hear your ideas, if you have any, PM
GirlyGamer here at Thumb Bandits and
include your idea (ie name of the film
/ game or whatever) and the names of
the props used. Or if you're feeling
technical and clever, send us a screenshot
and a little blurb about it, we'll make
sure you're accredited right here.
Remember, you saw it here at Thumb
Bandits FIRST!

| ** The ONLY screenshots
on this page that were 'tweaked' were
that of Gordon Freeman and Gordon Ramsay.
Essentially it took an age to set up (making
uniforms, walls, ordering props etc) and
I then realised there was no goatee beard!
So that was added to Gordon Freeman. The
other Gordon, Hells Kitchen's Gordon Ramsay
had harsh language added in for dramatic
effect. Everything else though is totally
kosher. |
