    Okay, this one's for all the Animal Crossing nerds -- the people who dutifully changed their system's date played every Saturday night just for a new performance by an anthropomorphic dog with a MIDI voice. Of all the K.K. Slider jams you've caught at the train station or the coffee shop, which is your favorite?We've embedded our pick, "K.K. Song", not because it's a great song, but because it's a weird piece of Nintendo history from K.K. Slider inspiration, Animal Crossing composer, and Wii Music director Kazumi Totaka. It's Saturday, so why not listen to some K.K. tunes?%Gallery-27704%

    NCSX is selling more adorable Animal Crossing toys, including a lil' plush K.K. Slider and Blathers the owl-- you can pretend to be annoyed about how long it takes to get your dang fossils appraised! But the real star of this update is the freaking huge Tom Nook seen here, gettin' his Potion on. He comes in at 15.74 inches tall, with an 11-inch-wide head. That's big enough to intimidate us about our house payments!Unfortunately, to get an armful of Nook, you need an armful of cash-- $49, plus shipping. Better get started selling cherries you find on the ground!

    Tired of spending every Saturday night at Animal Crossing: Wild World's museum cafe, abandoning any hope for a social life so you can catch K. K. Slider's weekly set? Ever found yourself shushing talkative friends or family members who think it's alright to chat during one of the soulful puppy's live performances? Has your girlfriend threatened to leave because of that time she looked in your wallet and saw that her picture was replaced with a photo of K. K.? With Banpresto's Totakeke bath towel, a commemorative item from the Animal Crossing movie, you don't have to devote your weekend schedule to hanging out at The Roost anymore. Now you can visit the guitar-playing dog whenever you take a shower! This out-of-game version of him won't play any music, but you could always just hum the tune to K. K. Condor while you dry yourself off. That wouldn't be weird at all! [Via DCEmu]
