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…
YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY
but you all have to wait! ;p
i wonder if it'll ahve no thanksgiving in PAL... if its that much different (which it won't be, I'm sure) then I'll buy the PAL version too... i would think all they would do is add in different languages, I can't see NOE changing much...
What a load of balls.
I'm so fooking happy, I could cry.....but I won't cause I'm not a big girly man.
Will it have our holidays in it?
It better be here before summer
