Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is the mobile adaptation of Nintendo's game for video consoles in which we'll have to manage a camp in the countryside.

The Android version of Animal Crossing

Nintendo's Animal Crossing video game franchise, released in 2001, was a huge hit, selling over 16 million copies worldwide. Everyone has been waiting for an Android and iPhone version, and now it's finally here. We're talking about Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, which brings gameplay to smartphones and tablets.

If you don't know what Animal Crossing is about, let us tell you: it's a life simulation game that takes place in real time and in which the player interacts with anthropomorphic animals. You have to participate in all sorts of activities that are typical in camps, such as farming, caring for animals, and crafting items to improve facilities.

You can also play with friends online, receive visitors or go to their camp where you can exchange items. And as it can't be otherwise, to improve your own camp you need tools and materials that you can get by playing or by paying through in-app purchases.

Perform all kinds of actions

You will move around in a mobile home that you can customize, but you can also perform the following actions:

• Run errands for the rest of the RV: go fishing or gather fruit and get rewards for such activities.
• Build all sorts of tools and facilities to improve your camp.
• Talk to other campers and bring guests to your property to increase their affection.
• Create a totally bespoke space for your camp: do something traditional with a tent and BBQ, or something more modern with a stage for concerts.

When will the Animal Crossing mobile version be available?

After waiting more than two years, Nintendo has finally confirmed that it will be released in November 2017. For now, they use a system similar to Super Mario Run or Fire Emblem Heroes where you can pre-register. So be patient, you won't have to wait too long to download the APK and enjoy the mobile version of the game, which has been around for a while on video consoles of the likes of the Nintendo 3DS or the Wii.

Requirements and further information:

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 4.4.
