After being mysteriously absent at E3 this year, Animal Crossing 3DS has finally been given a planned release within the first half of 2013 for Europe, while Japan will get it by the end of this year.

The game was confirmed for release by Nintendo of Europe president Satoru Shibata during the European Nintendo Direct presentation, and was also given an accompanying trailer in the Japanese presentation, as shown above.

Though brief, the trailer showcases all that fans have come to love the series for, such as interacting with the village's animal residents, visiting Tom Nook and the Mabel Sisters, and exploring the town. The video also showed off some new features which utilised the 3DS's StreetPass functionality: the game reportedly will allow visitors to come to a player's town using StreetPass.

Have a look at the trailer above for yourself and breathe easy knowing that the most underrated Nintendo exclusive is still definitely on the cards.

Indeed. Ages away. I need my Animal Crossing. :(
Should have been a release title. Thats too far away
LOL Wii Balance Board. I will put them everywhere (evil)
This will be my first animal crossing game. Keen (:
Argghhh this should've been out soon after the 3DS launch. It was shown so damn long ago and was basically the sole reason I bought a 3DS. I feel like Nintendo are getting so slack with their games, they should be prioritising games like this rather than new recycled mario side-scrollers.

I agree completely, especially with your last thought. I feel I'm only going to invest in a 3DS once Animal Crossing comes out, and I'm actually okay with that. I love Mario but I'm sick of his platformers and sport/mini-game spin-offs. Animal Crossing as an exclusive has got so much pulling power and it's overlooked; there definitely should be more support for it to release earlier.
