In a recent interview Katsuya Eguchi from Nintendo talked about the different things in life that motivated him to create the Animal Crossing series. Family, friends, relationships and society inspired him to create the game because he felt lonely when he moved to Kyoto. His hometown, Chiba, isn’t really close to Kyoto and at moments like these he discovered the importance of family and friends in his life.

Another important feature in the new Animal Crossing: City Folk game for Nintendo’s Wii is holiday seasons. Special days like Eastern, Halloween and Christmas will get new special events in AC:CC. At Eastern you’ll have to go out and look for eggs and there will also be a travelling circus in the game. Players can go to concerts and celebrate holidays together over Nintendo WiFi Connection.
