For those of you who have played Animal Crossing: City Folk for more than about a week I’m sure you can relate to the above image. A new feature in the game has players destroying their grass by simply walking or running over it. If you walk it kills the grass at a slower rate, but never the less the grass in your town will die off very quickly. This leaves you with a gross, depressing town.

Frankly, as one of the many City Folk players I can’t take looking at a giant mud pit of a town anymore. This is a very annoying feature which seems to have been tossed in at the last minute of development and it needs to be fixed by releasing a patch over the Wii Shop Channel.

I have yet to speak to anyone who enjoys this feature in the game. Please sign the Save Our Grass Petition to let Nintendo know you would like a patch released to allow us to remove this feature from our towns. This petition will be sent to several people at Nintendo once it reaches a certain amount of signatures
