Eguchi open to the possibility of Animal Crossing mobile apps
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment
Animal Crossing series creator Katsuya Eguchi seems open to working with mobile devices, so long as fans are ultimately lead back to core experience on Nintendo platforms.
Eguchi, speaking with Joystiq, noted that some Animal Crossing players may play the title in short spurts, but many enjoy putting a lot of effort into their towns. Eguchi also believes that the 3DS’ inputs are better suited to Animal Crossing’s gameplay than what’s currently offered on smartphones.
Still, mobile devices could prove to be useful. Just as an example, Eguchi mentioned that there could be an app created so that clothing designs could be made on the go. Another hypothetical mobile app could provide reminders of appointments players make to hang out with the villagers in their town.

Luftrausers dev talking with Nintendo

Vlambeer is talking with Nintendo, according to the studio’s Rami Ismail. What does that mean exactly? Well, with any luck, the company’s future titles will head to Nintendo platforms.
Vlambeer just brought out Luftrausers on various platforms earlier this month. Unfortunately though, that game isn’t likely to be made available for 3DS.
Ismail wrote on Twitter:
@tyronerodriguez We're talking to Nintendo. LUFTRAUSERS we're wrapping up, so that's unlikely.
