This news is kind of old, but it’s important nonetheless. Some websites are reporting that Animal Crossing will be a social networking massive multiplayer online game. Although I’m having trouble believing that to be true. Animal Crossing is a game that is built for more younger audience then those MMOs built on an other systems. I really find it hard to believe that Nintendo would allow a massive multiplayer online game focused towards kids, beef maintains focus being towards kids would most likely use a friend code system, thus make no longer making it a social networking experience.
“A Japanese source has confirmed to Edge that the upcoming Wii iteration of Animal Crossing is set to be a social networking MMO.”
Animal Crossing for the GameCube offered well over a dozen of the games that cost five dollars each on the Virtual Console. The Animal Crossing for the Wii could not offer this, because Nintendo would, of course, lose money. So what are they planning to do? It’s being reported that an official DS flash card might come bundled with a game. That means we can see games like Super Mario Land, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, and Metroid II. Sounds good, ehh?
Of similar import is the imminent arrival of an official DS flash card, which will initially just be available to allow Nintendo to sell the back catalogue of Game Boy and Game Boy Colour games.
Colour, catalogue? Stupid British!
