Celebrate in Animal Crossing flamenco-style!

Join the celebrations for Feria de Abril in the south of Spain by adding a touch of flamenco to your outfit! For ten days, (from April 24-May 3), you can pick up a flamenco hat or flamenco dress in Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City for Wii. You acquire them in slightly different ways though, so make sure to read the instructions! Olé!

If you have your Wii connected to the Internet, you’re well on your way to receiving your flamenco items! Read the tutorial below to find out how you can ensure you get your hands on these exclusive gifts.

Obtaining the Special Items

Flamenco Dress
In this instance, you will be able to obtain the flamenco dress first. However, you won't receive a letter in your mailbox as with other special items. Instead, you'll receive your flamenco dress from Wendell as his latest design creation. Please note the following points:

• Wendell will be waiting outside your house with the flamenco dress design creation.
• The first time you switch on the game from April 24, you must ensure you go and speak to Wendell before switching the game off again.
• After switching your game on, you must go and speak to Wendell before 6am.
• If you don’t go and meet Wendell the first time you switch on the game from April 24, or if you wait until after 6am, you will not be able to receive the flamenco dress design from Wendell.
• We recommend you make sure you have a space in your design collection in advance, in order to accept the flamenco dress design from Wendell.

Flamenco Hat
You receive the flamenco hat via a letter in your mailbox as with other items. You can receive this item throughout the period April 24-May 3.
Please note: If you receive the flamenco dress first, you must restart Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City in order to then receive the letter with the flamenco hat attached.

In order to receive special items from Nintendo, 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.

First, Check Your Wii Console Settings

Select the Wii Options icon in the bottom left of the Wii Menu screen.

Select Wii Settings.

Select the arrow on the right to go to the second page of options.

Select WiiConnect24.

If the Parental Controls settings are switched on, you will need to enter the PIN at this point. For more information, please refer to the Parental Controls section of the Wii Operations Manual - Channels & Settings. Alternatively, you can click this link for more details.

In the WiiConnect24 menu, select the first option.

Check whether WiiConnect24 is set to ON. If not, select ON and then confirm your selection.

Check the Settings Using the Telephone in Your Attic

In Animal Crossing: Let's Go To The City, use the telephone in the attic of your house and select the WiiConnect24 option.

Once You Have the Correct Settings…

During the offer period, Nintendo will send letters to your house with special items attached.
