Today Nintendo announced an Animal Crossing-themed app for Wii U during its Nintendo Direct presentation. The app itself is titled Animal Crossing Plaza. What it does is allows players to post messages with screenshots from their 3DS game Animal Crossing: New Leaf via SD card to the series’ new Mii verse community. The plaza itself is similar to the Mii Plaza, except instead of Mii’s you have the creatures from Animal Crossing.
The Animal Crossing Plaza is available now for free in the Wii U eShop. Nintendo says the service will be available through the end of 2014.
