N-Gamer: Why did Nintendo of Europe decide to not bring Animal Crossing to Europe?
David Tomlinson: Nintendo of Europe decided not to bring Animal Crossing to Europe because this genre of game hasn’t been tested in Europe or America. Because of this, Nintendo made a business decision to launch Animal Crossing in one region other than Japan. The region chosen was America. They then decided they couldn’t bring a new type of game out it one region, and not in Europe, the region complaining about being treated badly, so they launched Doshin the Giant here. Both games have been a success in both regions, and Nintendo of Europe is currently in the process of translating Animal Crossing for Europe.
N-Gamer: Will Animal Crossing ever reach European shores?
David Tomlinson: Well, let’s just say that I am testing a PAL conversion of it at the moment…

I knew we'd get it sooner or later, after getting Doshin the Giant.
If it comes at the right time, it could keep us busy untill Zelda, after Metroid Prime.

ive had it for a while now, and got bored of it, cant be bothered to play it everyday just to get the same conversations fromt he animals of my town.
lol, after all i only get to play it when its dark anyways, i work all day!

yes, but nintendo have already released game release details for the first half of this year.
and the fact that it says animal crossing is still being tested.
i recken autumn is a good guess as a release date.
