How to Get to the Nintendo WiFi Connection Settings on ACWW
"Animal Crossing: Wild World" is a social simulation game developed and published by Nintendo for their DS system in 2005. Players take on the role of a new resident of a virtual town, where they will interact with the locals, excavate fossils, capture butterflies and perform chores. "Wild World" is the first in the series to offer online play, which introduces a new level of social interaction. Setting up the Wi-Fi connection to access these online features is a quick process that must be done in-game.
