Wii U is finally getting a proper Animal Crossing game

Since the its release in 2012, Wii U owners have been patiently awaiting the arrival of a traditional Animal Crossing game for quite a while now. Sure, Animal Crossing amiibo Festival's release is still fresh on the Wii U… but it's no true Animal Crossing game.

Thankfully, there's a traditional Animal Crossing game finally headed to the Wii U and it's later this week on, November 20th. As always, there's a catch. The Wii U isn't getting a brand new Animal Crossing experience, you won't be getting any new villagers or shaking new fruit off of trees… This will be a very familiar experience.

The Virtual Console will be getting Animal Crossing Wild World, but only in Europe. Wild World first released on the Nintendo DS in all regions in 2005. Of course, the online interactions that were featured in Wild World more than likely won't be available on the Wii U – but that doesn't mean players won't be able to hang out, fish, relax and make sweet, sweet bells.
