Katsuya Eguchi Talks Animal Crossing Wii

In the latest edition of the Official Nintendo Magazine, producer Katsuya Eguchi talks Animal Crossing Wii.

The title, revealed earlier this month at E3, brings back the key fundamentals of town design and growth that players have loved in the DS and GameCube versions. Along with expanding into urban realms, the game is set to debut the Wii microphone, and in the latest edition of the magazine Eguchi reveals more about its use.

ONM: Did you ask for the microphone specifically for City Folk or was it being developed already?

Katsuya Eguchi: We're always sharing information with the hardware group and all the teams within Nintendo so we can keep track of things. But in this case we were talking and they told me that they had this microphone n development and I said "Really? That would work well with Animal Crossing. Here's what we'd like it to do…"

ONM: In the city there's a door that's boarded up. Can you tell us what's behind it?

Katsuya Eguchi: Yeah, it's near the shoe-shine guy. It's just a boarded up door, I'm afraid � there's actually nothing there. However, there are other areas that haven't been revealed yet!

For the remainder of the interview be sure to check out the latest Official Nintendo Magazine.
