Nintendo:E3 2008 Center/Animal Crossing: City Folk announced

While Nintendo seemed to basically abandon the hardcore audience at their press conference, we luckily got to see some footage of the Wii installment of Animal Crossing on the Wii. The name first - Animal Crossing: City Folk. With that said, there will be both a village and a city, with the former being similar, probably identical, to the way it was in previous games. Next is the heavy emphasis on community with not only the AI but with other people around the world as well. Nintendo answered your prayers for voice chat and revealed Wii Speak, a device that you can place in your room that'll allow anyone in the room to speak without the need for a headset. Additionally, players can change the face of their character to match that of their Mii. Supposedly the game will be released in time for the holiday season.
