Updated October 23rd, 2:13 PM - Animal Crossing's UK account has now Tweeted out its Direct schedule, and it'll be streaming at 7 AM BST, not 4 AM as previously stated (phew).


I know it's exciting but CALM DOWN. Jeez. After almost a year of waiting and wondering, it looks like we're about to get a Nintendo Direct all about the mobile version of Animal Crossing.
Back when Super Mario Run was announced, there was also talk of more mobile titles hitting the App Store before summer 2017. Animal Crossing was supposed to be next in line for release after Christmas, but evidently was delayed time and time again. I hope that means they've been working on a better, more long-lived experience than SMR.

After posting the teaser on Twitter, Nintendo's Japanese Twitter account noted that the presentation will be 15 minutes long and will only be talking about the mobile version of the game.

The Direct will take place on Wednesday 25th 12 PM Japan time/ 4 AM BST.
