Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp wasn’t originally supposed to take this long. Originally, Nintendo first spoke about the game in 2016. So why are we only seeing it now?
The Wall Street Journal reports that Pocket Camp was redone “at least once during the development process to ensure quality.” That’s according to the publication’s sources involved with the game’s creation.
The Wall Street Journal further notes that Nintendo “also had to prepare a full slate of limited-time events happening within the app to keep players coming back frequently”. It took some time for Fire Emblem Heroes to really get started on that front, which caused some people to lose interest. For Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, it sounds like Nintendo wanted to keep players busy from the get-go.
Infinite Minigolf received the new Hangar 37 DLC earlier today as a free download. We’ve posted some footage below.
Mutation Nation arrived on the eShop today as the latest NeoGeo game for Switch. Get a look at some footage in the video below.
Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has released, though only in Australia. Still, based on the early release, we have some notable information.
Sensor Tower reports that the new Animal Crossing title for mobile reached the top spot among all iPhone apps faster than Super Mario Run and Fire Emblem Heroes. It did so within 12 hours of its debut.
What is the key to Mario? In Nintendo’s view, empathy is at the top of the list.
Speaking with CNN, Super Mario Odyssey Yoshiaki Koizumi said:
“One thing that has always been constant is this idea of empathy. It’s the idea that anyone can pick up and play the game, and they have an intuitive understanding and feel for how the game works.”
Switch stock has been a big issue since the system launched earlier this year. It has undoubtedly improved, but it’s still not quite where it needs to be. In places like Japan, the situation is still very frustrating with continued lotteries just for an opportunity to buy a Switch.
In an interview with The Verge, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime commented on Switch’s supply situation once again. Being unable to meet demand is something he’s not happy with, and he says Nintendo is “working hard to satisfy as much demand as possible.”
Reggie stated:
Minecraft: New 3DS Edition has been out digitally since the last Nintendo Direct. But as we know, Nintendo was preparing a physical version. A release date has now been announced.
