Eguchi open to the possibility of Animal Crossing mobile apps
Posted on 11 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.

Thanks to AAA for the tip.
Nintendo has “already started thinking about what to do next” with Animal Crossing
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
Animal Crossing: New Leaf was arguably the series’ most successful entry since the original GameCube title. Eventually, Nintendo will be taking what made the 3DS title so enjoyable and applying it to a brand new entry.
According to Katsuya Eguchi, Nintendo has “already started thinking about what to do next” with Animal Crossing. However, Eguchi told EDGE that no set direction has been determined yet.
It’s also worth mentioning that Eguchi wouldn’t confirm which platform the next Animal Crossing will be on. While most anticipate a Wii U release happening eventually, Eguchi stated Nintendo must first settle on which platform to make the next game for.
“We have already started thinking about what to do next, but there is no concrete direction yet. First, we need to decide which hardware to develop a new Animal Crossing for, and then we want to use that hardware and find out what it’s capable of and what kind of features it provides. Then we can start thinking of elements of Animal Crossing and how we can realise them using the hardware. So until we discover these new inventions, we will not decide the direction.”
