  • Get down and party in a dirndl dress!


    17/09/2009

    Join the Oktoberfest celebrations in Germany by donning this fantastic dirndl dress! For two weeks, (from September 19-October 2), you can pick up the design for this fabulous attire in Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City for Wii. You acquire this a little differently than the usual items though, so make sure you read the instructions. Once you have the dress, you can customise it as you like and truly make it one-of-a-kind!

    If you have your Wii connected to the Internet, you’re well on your way to receiving your German outfit! Read the tutorial below to find out how you can ensure you get your hands on this exclusive gift.

    Obtaining the Special Item

    Dirndl Dress

    In this instance, you won't receive a letter in your mailbox as with other special items. Instead, you'll receive your dirndl dress from Wendell as his latest design creation. Please note the following points:

    • Wendell will be waiting outside your house with the dirndl dress design creation.
    • Please note only one dress design will be available, but you can customise the dress freely after download.
    • We recommend you make sure you have a space in your design collection in advance, in order to accept the dirndl dress design from Wendell.

    In order to receive letters from Nintendo with special items attached, you need a Wii console connected to the internet, with WiiConnect24 turned on.

    You also need to ensure that the WiiConnect24 settings in Animal Crossing: Let's Go To The City allow communication with other users. Please follow the instructions below to ensure that you will be able to receive the special items.

    What is WiiConnect24?
