We have a fresh set of 19 new pieces of artwork for Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer today, ranging from various scenes to a collection of characters. The paint-like art style they’re going for with these images is interesting to say the least. Check them all out below after the jump:
We’ve nabbed six new screenshots of the upcoming spin-off Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer from the newly launched official Japanese website. Most notably, we can see a furniture selection interface of sorts on the bottom screen, alongside other tabs such as what looks like a clothes tab. Check them out below:
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer launches this summer in Japan on July 30th, as just announced on the latest Japanese Nintendo Direct broadcast. Alongside the release date, we have some pricing information for the Japanese market, which should give us a hint as to the pricing overseas.
Was the infamous Animal Crossing Poptart 3DS XL model just not enough for you back in 2013 with the release of Animal Crossing: New Leaf?
As many of you know, Nintendo’s latest big release Splatoon launched today on Wii U. Luckily for us, Engadget has published an interview with the producer of the game Hisashi Nogami alongside the release! But who is Hisashi Nogami?
Hisashi Nogami is a top developer at Nintendo, where he has directed Animal Crossing games from the original through to City Folk on the Wii. More recently, his attention has been focused on the Wii U OS software, and of course Splatoon. We can only assume he is working on the upcoming Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer as well.
Thanks to the folks at Engadget, we got a little Animal Crossing question in at the end of the interview for us to twist and speculate on:
LEVEL-5 has been teasing the idea of a sequel to Fantasy Life on Nintendo 3DS off and on for quite a while now, and they’ve finally delivered on the announcement today. Except it’s probably not quite what you were expecting: Fantasy Life 2: Two Moons and the Village of God is releasing this summer in Japan for iOS and Android mobile devices.
As far as we can tell at this early stage, Fantasy Life 2 doesn’t seem to much of a sequel at all aside from a new Village feature to collect villagers and build up your town, certainly a feature that gives off a mobile game vibe but also more of an Animal Crossing vibe. The graphics seem extremely similar and the game takes place in the same maps as well as the same 12 lives as far as we know.
Fantasy Life is a mostly great game on the Nintendo 3DS (more on that soon, my long delayed review is scheduled to go up this month) and truly deserves a full true-to-life sequel at some point no matter the platform with brand new maps and lives. For more information and screenshots on Fantasy Life 2: Two Moons and the Village of God, check out the official website in Japanese at LEVEL-5.
A new Animal Crossing game titled Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is coming to the Nintendo 3DS later this year as announced on the April Nintendo Direct broadcast today. This new spin off game also marks the introduction of amiibo cards, starting with a collection of Animal Crossing animals.
