Nintendo won’t be including retro games with future Animal Crossings
Nintendo did something rather neat with the first Animal Crossing. Copies came with a number of classic NES titles that could be played directly in-game.
We haven’t seen something like that with future entries. And as far as series creator Katsuya Eguchi is concerned, this isn’t something that will be returning.
Eguchi told Kotaku:
“Please consider it’s not happening ever again. At the time, we didn’t have a Virtual Console system. We thought that playing games inside of a game is kind of funny, and we wanted to do it. But now there’s a Virtual Console where you can play classic games, so we don’t think we will be doing that in future titles.”
Kotaku later asked if he would consider letting people play the old Animal Crossing in the new Animal Crossing games. His response? “That might be interesting.”
