'Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp' Seems Like a Real Animal Crossing Game

Nintendo fans have been patiently (and anxiously) waiting to see how Nintendo would adapt Animal Crossing to mobile, and tonight, the company revealed Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Thankfully, it basically looks like Animal Crossing, albeit with your to-be-expected tweaks for microtransactions. It'll be available in late November.

You can watch the full breakdown here:

Some of the key takeaways:

• You're now managing a camp site (and a camper) instead of a house.
• It's now possible to adjust the skin tone of your character.
• Leaf tickets, which can be earned or purchased, shorten the time required to craft items, acquire materials, find new designs, and more.
• There are some new RPG aspects to the game, such as friendship levels, based on the quests you complete for the people around you.
• As with other Animal Crossing games, it reacts in real-time, based on the clock.
• Birds are now mechanics because of course they are.
