Nintendo will release Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball on the North American 3DS eShop next week, a notice on the store’s announcement bar appears to confirm. A general April launch had been previously announced.

While the announcement bar mentions next week’s arrival, the Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball page still simply lists “April”. In any case, it does look like the game is coming out next week. We’ll try to officially confirm things with Nintendo.

Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball – assuming the announcement bar is correct – will be available on April 3 as a free-to-play title.

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.
