Free-to-Play Animal Crossing possible?

Animal Crossing lead designer Katsuya Eguchi says that Nintendo is open to the idea of creating a free-to-play version of Animal Crossing that features micro transaction.

“I think the main thing that we need to think about before even considering doing something like that is to determine what we’re going to make available from the beginning. I think that’s key in deciding whether we do something like that. If I find a business model that works, however — that works for Nintendo and the end-user — then I can’t say that [free-to-play] is something we wouldn’t consider.”

There is still no concrete information whether this will come into development but knowing that Nintendo is open for this kind of idea is still a good news to hear.
