In a recent interview Hisashi Nogami of Nintendo EAD did with Engadget, they touched on tons of topics from Splatoon, his early career, Yoshi’s Island and much more. One of the more notable pieces of the interview is when he discusses a bit about Animal Crossing on the Wii U, which a lot of people have been asking for, with rumors flying around of a potential showing at this year’s E3 event. Here’s an excerpt below:
So my very last question then is: When are we going to see Animal Crossing on Wii U?
Well, that’s difficult for me to answer at the moment! Yup. That’s pretty much all we can say.
What I will say is that you may have seen an announcement recently about anAnimal Crossing product coming out on the 3DS… I can tack that on to the end of my response.

Animal Crossing devs on series’ future
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Four Animal Crossing games have been released spanning over four console generations. Where might hte series go from here?
Nintendo’s Aya Kyogoku offered some vague words to GiantBomb in a recent interview, noting that she hopes more Animal Crossing games will become available and will appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers.
She said:
“It’s hard to say what Animal Crossing is going to look like in 10 years, but I do hope it’s still around and it’s reached out to an even wider range of audience. At the same time, I really hope it stays as franchise that’s both enjoyable to newcomers and people who’ve enjoyed the franchise for all this time.”
Producer Katsuya Eguchi added some words of his own, too:
“In 20 [or] 30 years, when the users in that time are playing, I would like to say ‘when mom and dad were young, we were playing Animal Crossing, too!’. It would be great if we could say something like that. It might actually turn out that I’m more of a grandpa or grandma, but even then, it’d be great to say ‘back in my day, we used to play like this!'”
