Edge Magazine Says AC Wii to be an MMO?

That’s exactly what an article in the latest edition of Edge said…

While we’re still waiting for Nintendo to officially confirm anything about a Wii version of Animal Crossing (apart from the fact that it’s coming), Edge’s latest issue opens with the news lead: “Animal Crossing goes MMO”.

The latest issue of the mag reports, “A Japanese source has confirmed to Edge that the upcoming Wii iteration of Animal Crossing is set to be a social networking MMO.”

No further details are reported so we’re left hanging about exactly when we’ll be able to buy cheap turnips off the black market in Russia.

I think that it would be really cool to have both a single player game and a MMO Wi-Fi game. I can’t wait until it comes out, and I’ll be sure to keep you guys updated.

No Signs of Animal Crossing Movie Coming To the U.S.

GoNintendo reader Mike, sent in a querry to Nintendo of America about whether or not the Animal Crossing Movie would come to North America.

Currently, there are no plans to release the movie you asked about here in North America. For the latest Nintendo news, be sure to check our website at www.nintendo.com.

Sincerely,

Nintendo of America Inc.

Not exactly the news I’d like to hear right now. But no matter, I’m sure it will come to the US soon enough.
