Later this month, the Animal Crossing Plaza service will be coming to a close. Nintendo is planning on removing the software from the eShop after December 22.
While time is running out on Animal Crossing Plaza, it sounds like there could still be some exciting things in the works for Animal Crossing overall. Well, maybe. An official message posted on Miiverse makes note of how news will be posted to the Animal Crossing News Community in 2015.
Here’s the full post from Nintendo’s Aya Kyogoku:
Nintendo may have discontinued a trio of amiibo figures, if one retailer is to be believed.
Video Games Plus stated on Twitter earlier today that the Marth, Wii Fit Trainer, and Villager are “gone forever”. That’s based on information apparently coming from the retailer’s Nintendo distributor. Video Games Plus was told that all three “are officially discontinued”.
Here are the full tweets from Video Games Plus:
