Animal Crossing (Wii) is a video game for the Wii console currently in development by Nintendo EAD. [1] Little information about the game is known.
In a recent interview Katsuya Eguchi, the man in charge of the development of Animal Crossing (Wii), stated that "someone could send a letter from their cellphone or from an email address on a PC to the Wii, and then the player living in the town in Animal Crossing could receive that letter..." [2]
In an IGN interview, Katsuya Eguchi discussed how his team is exploring potential ways to take advantage of the WiiConnect24 feature, such as allowing friends to visit your town or leave messages while the machine is in standby mode. [3]
On September 26, 2006, Satoru Iwata commented on the Wii's message board system, saying:
For example, if you're playing Animal Crossing, a message like 'Concert next Saturday in town' will automatically be posted on the Message Board. The user doesn't even have to be playing the game.
In an interview, Katsuya Eguchi, the creator of Animal Crossing, discussed user designed furniture in the game:
I think it's a great idea. Of course, if you made your own furniture, you'd want to share it with others, to be able to give and receive hand-made stuff. Otherwise why would you make it? To be able to do that, you have to build in some place to keep that in the memory. The save data would be pretty huge, then. That's a challenge I'd like to face, though.[4]
In one of the first interviews it mentioned that you could combine two species of flower seeds to create a new flower
Also, in the December issue of Nintendo Power, a letter from Tom Nook is shown.
Also, according to IGN, the japanese version of the game has already been confirmed.
Also, In The UK, In Issue 3 of N•Revolution, the releases page says that the game will come out In September 2007.
