Japanese lifestyle magazine Sabra scored an interview with game designer Shigeru Miyamoto -- and true to the master's ways, he managed to leak out information about a new game in a place where nobody would think to look. According to Miyamoto, Nintendo is hard at work on a sequel to Animal Crossing, scheduled for release in Japan in 2003.
The Nintendo designer did not elaborate whether the new game would be a full-fledged sequel or an enhanced edition, similar to the step from Animal Forest for N64 to Animal Forest + in Japan. The US version of the GameCube hit, known as Animal Crossing actually contains many features not found in the Japanese edition, such as the ability to download NES games to the Game Boy Advance, the password trade option, and localized events.
Animal Forest + (Animal Crossing) sold almost 600,000 copies in Japan according to sales tracking firm Media Create, making it the third best-selling title for the console after Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Mario Sunshine. Depending on which form this sequel takes, expect the title to be announced for the US market sometime next year.
