Animal Crossing To Become MMO
A while back I came across a game that was so addictive I completely lost myself in it for the better part of a year. That game was Animal Crossing. I obsessed over it. Every day would have at least several hours of Animal Crossing time allotted. If I didn't get my fix I was a force with which to be reckoned, withering all in my path with a look as I made my way to that sweet, sweet Animal Crossing fix.
Eventually I kicked my habit and went on about the business of living a real life instead of simulating one. Those fuckers at Nintendo knew what was up, and they released Animal Crossing for the DS. I tried to resist. I called my sponsor, even went to a few meetings, but Nintendo knows an addict and I came back to the fold. It's a strange sight to see, that of a grown man weeping uncontrollably over his DS at how incredibly weak willed he is. I only wish I hadn't been looking in a mirror. But eventually I regained control and put Animal Crossing away. Sure we still have a fling every now and again, but that bitch has burned me bad and you just can't forget the pain of pushing away your loved ones so you can make the purple tulip.
Once again, Nintendo is back on the block, slingin' the fiends that need a fix and bringing the wandering back home to the warm embrace of an Animal Crossing fix. But Nintendo is no fool, they know they can't keep feeding us the same thing without our addictions eventually moving to another seemingly pointless game. Oh no my friends, now we'll have the opportunity to feed our ravenous addictions together, in an MMO format.
Animal Crossing is ripe for the MMO treatment. The DS flavor of coop play has always been fun, and I'll be the first to admit that I love the Animal Crossing griefer crews lurking in the dark corners of forums rife with typos prevalent enough to make you want to bleach your own eyes. Granted, this is all speculation based on thinly veiled hints dropped by Katsuya Eguchi, head of development for the project, but Nintendo would be a pack of fools not to do this.
