Animal Crossing over to Revolution

And you know what that means:
Fishing games. Well, that and a wonderfully addictive celebration of neighborly etiquette and non-threatening
anthropomorphism. Spot that description on the box of the forthcoming Animal Crossing Revolution, a title
which series creator Katsuya Eguchi mentioned briefly at his own GDC speech last week. Mr. Eguchi explained that it was a fun challenge trying to design a game around a brand new interface and that the Revolution game would largely build on the DS version's accomplishments. The series is essentially leaping from home console, to portable, and back to home console again. It hasn't changed fundamentally in that journey, but perhaps the leap to Revolution will take things in a new direction.
We certainly can't imagine a better fit for Nintendo's online network than Animal Crossing, especially where massively multiplayer online fishing battles are concerned. The controller should also provide plenty of interesting ways to interact with the items and inhabitants of your town, most notably in allowing you to beat the evil Tom Nook over the head with a freshly baked baguette.
