Did anyone else know that Nintendo’s Animal Crossing was being turned into a feature length anime in Japan? I just got my wife a new pink DS Lite and Animal Crossing: Wild World and the two of us have been having a ball with it. It’s pretty simplistic, but there’s just something about interacting with all of the other NPCs, making new friends, and posting messages on the bulletin board such as “Shop at Nook’s or I’ll stab your face” that keeps us coming back for more.
That being said, GameTrailers.com posted the following trailer for an Animal Crossing anime that will come out in Japan sometime in the future. I find it odd recognizing the characters from the anime based on my dealings with them in the game.
That’s awesome. I was a big fan of Animal Crossing on the GameCube, and I’ve been hoping to get it on the DS.
The nerd in me is really hoping this movie comes stateside… for my nephew, of course. ;D
