Animal Crossing Wii is the working title of a Wii game currently in development by Nintendo EAD. It is part of the Animal Crossing series. The title was announced as a Wii game that markets the Wii's WiiConnect24 feature.[1] Little information about the game is known. On February 22, 2007, the title was confirmed for a 2007 release in Japan.[2]

In a recent interview Katsuya Eguchi – the man in charge of the development of Animal Crossing – said: "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".[3]

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.[4]
