Animal Crossing 3DS (working title) is the newest installment in the Animal Crossing series, being released exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS. It was revealed at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2010, and a few in-game photographs were added to the Nintendo website[1]. However, it is shown that the players and the villagers will now have more human-like shapes, rather than the shorter ones. The trees, flowers, and houses take on a more real life appearance, and there are also benches around the town, though their function is unknown. The player is able to become the mayor of the town[2]: With the help of the townsfolk and 'one eager secretary' it will be the character's job to make the town a better place to live[3]. It is unknown if Tortimer is set to appear, given this fact. It is also unknown if one town will hold up to four players, due to the fact there can only be one mayor. In a video, there has been footage of beaches to the side of the town. The trailer also shows a character swimming in the ocean.

Development and Unveiling

The game was originally unveiled at E3 2010, though very little was shown. A trailer was shown showing off featuring the updated features, and little new features were shown. Shortly after, there was news that the player could be the mayor of the town[1], with the goal being to make the town a better place to live.[3] A playable demo was also available on the show floor at Nintendo's booth as an example of the 3DS's 3D effects. Due to it not being given much detail, fans speculated that it might have not been an actual game but just an example and that another Animal Crossing game would be developed later.

At E3 2011, the rumors were proven false. During Nintendo's press conference, the Animal Crossing logo, among others, appeared on-screen as a list of upcoming 3DS games. Additionally, a new trailer was released. The trailer showed off a new feature in the game- swimming and diving in the ocean. Also, a player was shown changing not only his shirt, but also his shoes and pants. A player was also shown coming out of what appeared to be his tent-house. Throughout the town, benches and a beehive were shown, with a villager and later a player sitting on the bench. A new character was also shown, a yellow dog following the player. Fans quickly assumed she was the 'eager secretary' that helps the player mayor the town.[4]

In an interview with Kotaku editor Stephen Totilo, the creator of Animal Crossing, Katsuya Eguchi, revealed that Animal Crossing 3DS will allow players to arrange their furniture in any way they like, and will also feature new networking experiences.[5]
