E3: Nintendo releases new Animal Crossing details

By Jack Taylor – 8 June 2011

Nintendo has released new gameplay footage of Animal Crossing for Nintendo 3DS, showing off some of the game's new features.

It seems as though Animal Crossing may still be quite a long way away: the title received no real mention during Nintendo's E3 media presentation and no additional details were released for it.

A new gameplay trailer was released, however, which tells us a fair bit about the title which was previously unknown.

As we learnt last year, you move into a new town to take the role of mayor, and it now seems you have a secretary who will follow you around at certain times (perhaps if there's a particular job that needs doing).

House exteriors look to be customisable (beyond the colour of your roof) for the first time, with various designs - and even a tent - being shown off.

Characters can now change their trousers and shoes as well as their shirts, which explains why characters are taller now, and they can even go for a swim in the sea and dive down, possibly for seashells or treasures.

Surely that's old news by now...
