Unfortunately, that's what happens when there are micro transactions that bring in tons of money 😭 They're also different dev teams. For real though, I have a feeling Nintendo just wants to get out of the mobile game market and focus more on console releases. I heard the Fire Emblem mobile game is their highest earner, and they essentially did what they're doing to Pocket Camp, to Mario Kart Tour, so who knows? They haven't released a statement as to "why" and they likely won't. I just hope the next console game will have more for us to do, especially in multiplayer mode, and have more updates for longer.
I can see this being a good thing in the long run microtransactions aren't fun but it could potentially be short lived like new horizons. I started playing pocket camp because I couldn't get new horizons but I'm still playing pocket camp and I barely play new horizons now.
I agree with this. I like the lack of micro transactions but I'm going to miss the multiplayer aspect. I am happy they're making an offline version of the app though instead of leaving us with nothing.
The Switch IMO is more similar to a tablet than a phone (I think it actually is running some version of Android on it). I just don't see them porting it to the Switch, at least in this generation of the console. Nintendo said we'll be hearing about the Switch's predecessor in the first part of 2025, so I don't see them adding another Animal Crossing game to this console when we'll be seeing a new console probably around the holidays next year. Also, historically, AC has only been one game per console generation, and I don't see them breaking a 20+-year tradition. Plus, they're making an offline version of the app for mobile so it wouldn't make sense to port it to console.
@shamine5887 I know! I'm glad they're making an offline version to keep the game alive, and they updated the FAQ recently to state they will update the game on occasion and all items and villagers will transfer over. We don't know how the fortune cookie mechanics will work, but that's to be seen with the bigger announcement at the end of October. I'm really going to miss the online multiplayer aspects though.
I still can't believe that Pocket Camp support went on for longer than New Horizons support lol

they could make pocket camp available for the switch as it has a touch screen and is similar to a phone or an ipad

Very Unlikely
So sad 😭

@@DiannaPlaysGamesthx for the updates!
This is very sadd!
It is! Like I said I’m at least happy they’re keeping the game going but ending the online features is very saddening.
