Animal Crossing Wii (Working Title) is part of the Animal Crossing series. The title was announced as a Wii game that markets the WiiConnect24 feature of the console.[2] In a 2006 interview, Katsuya Eguchi – leader of Animal Crossing's production development – stated, "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 another interview with IGN, Katsuya Eguchi also discussed how his team continues exploring potential ways to take advantage of the WiiConnect24 feature such as allowing friends to visit other towns or leave messages while the machine is in standby mode.[4]
As of mid-2008, blogs such as Video Games Blogger have predicted that Nintendo might well officially unveil the game at E3 in July 2008, along with educated guesses about likely included features.[5]
