Don’t expect Animal Crossing for Switch 2 anytime soon, former Nintendo marketing lead warns: “It’s maybe a little bit early” new features
Nintendo’s former marketing lead Kit Ellis has dumped a bit of cold water on Animal Crossing frenzy, saying that, in his experience, it would be weird for Nintendo to do a Switch 2 edition this early.
If it wasn’t before, Animal Crossing definitely became one of Nintendo’s most important franchises after how overwhelmingly popular Animal Crossing: New Horizons was. The Switch edition became one of the best-selling games ever made, beating out the series’ previous record holder, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, by over 30 million copies. So, naturally, you think Nintendo would want to get a Switch 2 sequel out ASAP, but according to the company’s former marketing manager, that would be unlike Nintendo’s usual approach to the series.
Responding to the recent fervour around an Animal Crossing Tweet, former Nintendo marketing lead Kit Ellis explains that when Nintendo launches a console, the first few years after launch are typically focused on the hardcore Nintendo fans, as these are the people who are actively hunting down consoles.
