Today we have a rumor about the upcoming Animal Crossing game coming to Nintendo Switch – it’s reportedly going to be revealed during today’s Nintendo Direct.

There are two sources for this rumor. The first is Tom Phillips who works as an editor at Eurogamer. Phillips retweeted the Nintendo Direct announcement with a comment “I’ll be crossing off the hours!”, a reference to Animal Crossing.

Keep in mind this is not the first time Phillips has dropped hints before a major Nintendo announcement or Nintendo Direct, so he’s aware of certain things that are yet to be announced.

The second source of this rumor is from a ResetERA forum member called king zell, who claimed “well, i heard that tomorrow maybe the day and we might see some Animals!!! but am not sure.”

If what both of these people are hinting are true, we can expect to see Nintendo officially reveal the next Animal Crossing game for Nintendo Switch, which has been highly requested by fans. It is certainly not going to be a smartphone game as there won’t be any announcements pertaining to smartphones.
