Animal Crossing
Animal Crossing (Wii) is a video game for the Wii console currently in development by Nintendo EAD. Little information about the game is known.
In a recent interview Katsuya Eguchi, the man in charge of the development of Animal Crossing (Wii), stated that "someone could send a letter from their cellphone or from an email address on a PC to the Wii, and then the player living in the town in Animal Crossing could receive that letter..."
In an IGN interview, Katsuya Eguchi discussed how his team is exploring potential ways to take advantage of the WiiConnect24 feature, such as allowing friends to visit your town or leave messages while the machine is in standby mode.
On September 26, 2006, Satoru Iwata commented on the Wii's message board system, saying:
“For example, if you're playing Animal Crossing, a message like 'Concert next Saturday in town' will automatically be posted on the Message Board. The user doesn't even have to be playing the game.”
This hints that perhaps users will be able to create their own events and or holidays into the game, then invite other users to attend them.
