Today, the Nintendo UK site issued a new interview with two of Animal Crossing’s primary developers. General producer Katsuya Eguchi and Animal Crossing series producer Hisashi Nogami fielded a number of questions.
The two devs weighed in on the Animal Crossing series as a whole, but more general topics as well. They were asked if they anticipated Animal Crossing becoming so popular, approach to making games, what they aim for when creating titles, and more.
We’ve picked out Eguchi and Nogami’s notable responses below.
Nintendo has uploaded a new North American episode of The Cat Mario Show focusing specifically on Pokemon. Watch it below.
Circle Entertainment published Touch Battle Tank – Tag Combat – on the North American 3DS eShop last week, with the European version to follow soon. An introduction trailer can be seen below.
The Pokemon GO Plus accessory can again be ordered from the Nintendo UK store. To place an over, head on over here. Based on how things have gone previously, it’ll likely sell out at some point.
Last night, Nintendo added in a “Walkin’ with Undodog” Event Course that provides players with a new costume. We now have footage of the level below.
Nintendo updated the Japanese Kirby: Planet Robobot website once again today with more art. This time, we have a look at various mechanization gimmicks.
The site also contains some talk about the soundtrack. After initially hearing the Haltmann Works Company theme, director Shinya Kumazaki gave an order to composer Hirokazu Ando to “add more weight to make it feel like an evil giant corporation”, so he made a new version. However, it might have felt a bit too “heavy” when it was redone. From there, Ando received feedback to “make it feel more like a more unknown invader” for the final result.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf – Welcome amiibo is out in Europe today, and for that occasion, Nintendo has released an overview trailer that, well, gives an overview on everything that’s new in this update. Give it a watch:

It’s been quite while since Super Mario Maker received a new costume and Event Course, but Nintendo just added in some new content a little while ago. Players can unlock Undodog after completing the “Walkin’ with Undodog” level.
Here’s an overview of the course:
“Mary O. was too busy to take Undodog for his usual walk today, so he decided to head out all by himself! He didn’t make it far before he came across a strange green pipe. Well, curiosity never hurt a dog, so he jumped right in! Now Undodog finds himself stranded in an unfamiliar land… Can you help him find his way back home?”
Thanks to najDanGer for the tip.
