"Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp" is shutting down

[spongepizza72]

The popular mobile game, "Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp", is being shut down in late November 2024.
It is being replaced with an offline version of the game without microtransactions.

I love Nintendo, but the company is a huge sometimes.
I actually wonder if they are shutting this game down to focus more on the Switch 2.

• Using Your Existing Save Data in a New App

I didn't play this game all that much but it's sad to see it go. I wonder if Nintendo will shut down their other apps at some point.

Their handling of this game's shutdown is a definite improvement over what they did to Miitomo.

That game just flat-out shut down, with no offline version to transfer data to. It does exist in the form of the fan-made Kaerutomo, and even that has its problems (especially on iOS, which you will have to jailbreak if you want access to Kaerutomo).

It's probably that but also maybe they're shutting it down because of the events? I haven't really touched it in a while but it seems most events are repeats and because of that most people don't log in or bother doing the events. Idk tho but that and users not playing enough seem like good reasons to shut it down

I'm not really a fan of animal crossing, I'm more of a mario & luigi guy, but this is still kinda sad to see

That's kinda sad to hear, odd timing considering how I just got back into renovating my New Horizon's island...
