EGM Rumours: Animal Crossing, Top Skater Wii, Sony Peripheral

By Jorge Ba-oh 28.05.2008 8

The latest rumours from top gaming magazine EGM include a possible date for Animal Crossing Wii, Balance Board Top Skater and a PS3 Peripheral.

Although not the most juicy set of rumours, there's some interesting tidbits to take on board:

  • Sony working on peripheral for PS3 that transforms into different setups. A folding/retractable device seems the likely option. One of its functions is ideal for shooters. Expansion of Eye Toy?
  • Animal Crossing Wii due for 2009 in the US, as opposed to the recently suggested fall 2008 release.
  • Sega bringing Top Skater and Ollie King to Wii for use with the balance board - presumably hip shaking, body tilting action!
  • Remember these are all unconfirmed for now, be sure to watch this space for updates.

    Thanks to the folks at NeoGAF for the tip.

    Wooo, Animal Crossing.

    Hmm - not hot having a 2009 release for AC. IMO it can have the potential to be a serious hitter at Christmas!

    Truth! Smilie

    Still I can't wait for Animal Crossing and MySims Kingdom Smilie. I've been playing both series when I have free time so it's like all the time Smilie...Smilie oh...wait...Smilie.

    Animal Crossing is one game sure to not disappoint. I do hope that we get some good online unlike Wild World. Voice chat, multiplayer games, and allowing the villagers outside during online interactions would be a good start. However, follow that up with WiiConnect24 furniture and villager personality updates and I'll be happy.

    The worst thing about Animal Crossing is that eventually you know exactly what each villager will say. I generally read the first few words and skip over the rest of the text since I've already seen it before. Adding more phrases and even extra personalities altogether would be incredible.

    Ok...seriously, what the hell is Nintendo's big holiday release going to be?? I can't think of anything! It can't possibly be Pikin because that's not very big. It's not Animal Crossing.

    I bet it's Link Surfboard Training.

    Wow, I hope the rumor about Top Skater is true! I couldn't tell you how many quarters I lost to that game! That would be loads of fun to play on the Balance Board.

    XD.
    probably more like links spinner training, more zelda themed XD

    They really should release animal crossing for xmas this year i would make a killing.
    also have the multi house option that was on the gamecube/new town per file/refresh the town for each user so all fruit is not gone.
