Animal Crossing Town Folk was officially announced today by Nintendo at E3. It will be out by the end of the year. Some other details announced:

• You can go to town now and do a variety of things. There is a beauty salon, where you can put a Mii mask on your Animal Crossing character.
• The game comes with a microphone, called WiiSpeak. You can now talk to your friends online. Looks like the microphone sits on top of the T.V., it’s not a headset.
• Can go to other players towns, see how they decorate their houses, towns.
