Animal Crossing Producer, Katsuya Eguchi spoke with IGN AU about the progress with the Wii version of the game.
In the interview, Eguchi told IGN that they are currently working on the various features. The remote could possibly become your tools while the WiiConnect24 could allow players to go to your town while you are not even playing.
All of these features are currently in the works and are only in testing phases as the game is not yet in a playable form. It seems that the title still has a long development period ahead of it.
Check out the short interview and what IGN believes will be the future of Animal Crossing from the source.
