Nintendo has released a new trailer for Animal Crossing 3DS, which includes a special introduction from company president Satoru Iwata.

Players will arrive in town by train, as usual, except this time around there’s more to do than ever before. In the game you take on the role as mayor which offers the ability to place benches, lamps and clocks around town. Solar panels have also been added to the game.

Player’s bodies are now larger allowing for more clothing options to be made available. The size of the town’s inhabitants has also been adjusted, with some being smaller than you and other towering above you. A new model home area has been added to the game which displays the homes of other players that you meet via StreetPass.

Matthew Bennett has only been covering the gaming world for a short while, but he’s eager to make his mark. An ability to go many hours without sleep and a quick wit make him ideal for his role as associate editor at EGMNOW.com. He often thinks back to the days when the very idea of this career seemed like nothing but an impossible dream. Follow him on Twitter @mattyjb89. Meet the rest of the crew.
