or GameStop Nintendo has “already started thinking about what to do next” with Animal Crossing
Posted on 10 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.”

Renegade Kid will have news on Cult County next year
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 1 Comment
Cult County was announced for the 3DS eShop earlier this year, but quickly fell off the radar. Good news: the game is still in the works. Bad news: we won’t be hearing about it again until next year.
Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham wrote on Twitter earlier today:
@81jono81 Not yet. Sorry for the silence. We'll have some horror-related news next year.

Activision intends to sell a lot of Skylanders products on Nintendo platforms
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
The Wii is on its way out, and the Wii U hasn’t performed up to Nintendo’s expectations. Given these two factors, MCV decided to ask Activision’s UK MD, Roy Stackhouse, about whether the publisher’s expectations for the game have been negatively impacted.
Not at all, Stackhouse said. In fact, he along with Activision as a whole “expect to sell a lot of Skylanders on the Nintendo platforms.” Stackhouse also said the company still considers Nintendo to be “a very integral part of our sales mix going forward.”
Stackhouse’s comments in full:
“Not at all. We still expect to sell a lot of Skylanders on the Nintendo platforms. Just because the sales may have softened doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of consoles out there that children are still playing on. We still see Nintendo as a very integral part of our sales mix going forward.”

Wii Party U can be purchased from the eShop in Australia
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 4 Comments
Nintendo decided against launching Wii Party U on the eShop in North America and Europe. The situation is different Down Under, however.
Yep – Wii Party U is up on the Australian Wii U eShop. It’s been available since the game’s launch late last week, in fact.
Why is Wii Party U being distributed on the Australian eShop but not the North American and European stores? Your guess is as good as mine!
