Animal Crossing 3D Will Be “Richer” Than Previous Games

Satoru Iwata claims that the upcoming Animal Crossing: Jump Out will take full advantage of the Nintendo 3DS unique capabilities to deliver “richer” experience than those found in previous Animal Crossing titles: 

“When the company can finalize the development of the software which takes full advantage of these unique functions, for example, if we can do so with the new Animal Crossing for the Nintendo 3DS, our consumers will be able to feel and realise that the new Animal Crossing is not only a richer version of its predecessors but also how positively such functions can affect their play experiences.”

Animal Crossing 3D Arriving September 28th? 

We all know that Animal Crossing for the 3DS will for sure be coming this year but do we actually have a release date? Amazon France has listed a release date for Animal Crossing 3D which is set for September 28th.

This seems like a legitimate release date so lets hope this is true. Nintendo should be announcing the confirmed release date at E3. 

Animal Crossing 3DS, Luigi’s Mansion 2, Mario Tennis 3D & Paper Mario 3D All To Be Released This Year

Nintendo has reconfirmed that Animal Crossing 3DS, Luigi’s Mansion 2, Paper Mario 3D & Mario Tennis 3D will all be due to release this year in Japan. The dates for North America and Europe are listed as “to be determined” but I’m pretty sure they are all coming out this year also. We will probably hear more at this years E3.
