Nintendo already thinking about the next Animal Crossing
A portion of an EDGE interview with Katsuya Eguchi...
EDGE: What’s next for Animal Crossing? Can you keep adding more to the current template, or are you thinking of making wider changes?
KE: 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.
