Animal Crossing hits US as Europe waits

Earth shattering ‘life inside a box’ title still undated for UK.

Posted by Staff
Over in the US of A, lucky gamers will soon be able to play Animal Crossing, the incredible ‘life in a village full of animals’ non-game game, as it is shipping to retail as you sit there reading.

The story is somewhat different this side of the pond however, as Nintendo Europe is still to make any kind of commitment to releasing the massively anticipated title.

“Animal Crossing is redefining video games," exclaimed Peter MacDougall, sales and marketing, Nintendo of America Inc. "Players can fish, garden, design furnishings, collect great works of art, cooperate with or play tricks on their neighbours. It's all up to them, and with the real time clock, they can continue to cultivate or compete against their friends and in-game characters until 2032!"

Urgh…

Frustratingly, Nintendo of Europe refuses to budge on whether or not it intends to launch Animal Crossing over here.

We’ll let you know as soon as the silence is broken.
