Animal Crossing is al tijden uit in Japan, Amerika en Australie. Alleen Europa bleek de game niet te krijgen. Daar is nu dus verandering in gekomen...
Nintendo heeft bekend gemaakt dat Europa Animal Crossing ook gaat ontvangen. De game die in Japan en Amerika razend populair is, zou hier in eerst instantie niet uitkomen. Te veel verschillende feestdagen en talen zou het probleem zijn. Nintendo heeft dat achteraf toch wel over voor haar fans, want ze brengen de game wel naar Europa.
De game zal 24 september in de Europese winkels liggen voor een prijs rond de 60 euro.
Nintendo zelf had er het volgend over te melden:

JOIN THE INCREDIBLE WORLD OF ANIMAL CROSSING
The innovative gaming masterpiece known as Animal Crossing, which has already entranced thousands across Japan and USA, is finally coming to Europe on 24th September 2004.
Since its launch in Japan and the USA, Animal Crossing has received worldwide acclaim. Cube IGN hailed it as ‘completely addictive’ and in May 2003 it was voted by Edge Magazine as the Gameplay Innovation of the Year, as well as being described as “a fantastically relaxing way of gaming....you absolutely can't wait for tomorrow."
Animal Crossing is an animal populated town where you live your everyday life in real-time. As part of the thriving village community you can make friends with residents, fish in the sea and decorate your homes. Using the internal clock of the Nintendo GameCube, all events in the game happen at the same time as the real world. So as dawn breaks across Europe, the sun also begins to shine in Animal Crossing and when the stars come out, it’s bedtime for all your virtual friends!
Pick your character and give him/her a name, choose a house to call your home and meet and greet the local animals that live in the neighbourhood. You can earn a living by running errands for your neighbours or finding valuable treasures. You can also discover rare items by visiting vendors or trading with your forest friends. There is never a dull moment in Animal Crossing!
You don’t have to keep the world of Animal Crossing to yourself - up to four of you can enjoy Animal Crossing together, each player takes their turn in the game and can change events for the next player to experience! You can even leave messages for your friends on public message boards and using a special password system, send your friends presents!
The wonderful world of Animal Crossing is one to be shared, and by borrowing a friend’s memory card with an Animal Crossing saved game, players can travel to their friend’s town and explore it. If you need a break from it all, you can take a holiday to Animal Island by linking Animal Crossing to your Game Boy Advance with a Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable.
Each day is packed full of unique events and challenges which make Animal Crossing one of the most innovative Nintendo GameCube titles to date. Join the growing population of players who live to play and play for fun in a land of dreams and wonder in Animal Crossing.
