Here's another way to communicate in Animal Crossing: City Folk.



Logitech today introduced the new Logitech Cordless Keyboard for Wii, which is licensed by Nintendo. The new keyboard has a slim design and features 2.4GHZ wireless technology.

"One of the big reasons Wii has been so successful is the social element of the games and applications," said Ruben Mookerjee, Logitech's director of product marketing for gaming. "Our new keyboard helps families experience the Internet in the living room – and it will make chatting with online friends simple in popular games, such as Animal Crossing."

The Logitech Cordless Keyboard for Wii provides special system keys – such as Zoom In/Out, Forward/Back, Quit and OK – making it easy to browse through the Wii's Internet Channel; not to mention text chat in the upcoming Animal Crossing: City Folk.

The Logitech Cordless Keyboard for Wii is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in August. The suggested retail price in the U.S. is $49.99.
