This looks like a cool toy for those collectors out there. The rascally animals and default human characters of Animal Crossing are loved the world over. To capitalize on the fan fervor, toy manufacturers have released Animal Crossing plushes, beverage holders, and countless trinkets. There's never been an Animal Crossing Wii Remote Projector Light product however. That is, until now.
The Axing Projector is basically a thumb-sized keychain that shoots out a battery-powered image of a recognizable Axing character such as Totakeke (aka K.K. Slider), a mole named Mr. Resetti, and a pairing of Tanukichi (Tom Nook) and Crazy Redd.

Wow, did you know that yesterday was the anniversary of Animal Crossing? Well, it is. 6 years ago, people in America got to play for the first time ever Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Gamecube.
Of course, the game was released a bit earlier than that in Japan, titled Dobutso no Mori for the Nintendo 64. Since then, we've seen this addicting game advance, culminating in the most recent addition to the series, City Folk.
Anyways, give it a read here, you might learn something.

Another interview with the creator and director of Animal Crossing has a new interview out today. In it, he talks about where his idea for Animal Crossing came from and even some more City Folk talk. Check it out!
Animal Crossing features three themes: family, friendship and community. But the reason I wanted to investigate them was a result of being so lonely when I arrived in Kyoto! Chiba is east of Tokyo and quite a distance from Kyoto, and when I moved there I left my family and friends behind. In doing so, I realized that being close to them – being able to spend time with them, talk to them, play with them – was such a great, important thing. I wondered for a long time if there would be a way to recreate that feeling, and that was the impetus behind the original Animal Crossing.
You’ll also be able to do more than ever together when you play online. You’ll be able to experience events or see concerts together, for example. And while in the DS version we discarded a lot of events that were popular in the GameCube version, we’re bringing them back. We’re including Halloween, we’re bringing back Jingle, the reindeer that visits during the holiday event, and we’ve got some new events, too. For example, during spring we’ve got a special visitor who brings paint and eggs so you can have an egg hunt, and we also have a carnival that’ll introduces another new character to the Animal Crossing world.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the much anticipated sequel for the Nintendo Wii, was released today in Japan. As we know, this game has many references to Animal Crossing, including levels and music from the game. In the days to come, we should see more information on the game trickle out from Japan, so maybe we'll see some exciting Animal Crossing-ness in there (like maybe Nook as a playable character...).
The game is on-track to be released in the United States on March 9th, 2008.

Today's Smash Bros. Brawl update is about the options that will be used in the game. One of the screen shots show an Animal Crossing song. It's not much, but it's the only news we're getting these days...

I know this one isn't related to news, but it does relate to Animal Crossing. Basically, this kid's mom, who had some serious disease, passed away. But before that, she played a bunch of Animal Crossing and used it to send messages to her kid, even when she died. It's really heart touching and sincere, so I'll share it with you here. It's a long one, too.

GoNintendo reader Mike emailed Nintendo to see if they plan on bringing the Animal Crossing Movie (which is only out in Japan right now) to the USA. This was the response he got back.
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.
Dervin Camden from Nintendo of America.
That's too bad, it would have been cool to see it state-side. Maybe it will come at a later time. In the meantime, there are ways of seeing it. Just saying.
