Other info

While Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp might be gacha slop, I have a lot of nostalgia associated with it, and I'm sad that it's gone now.

Pocket Camp was a spin-off Animal Crossing game that Nintendo brought to market in November (October in Australia) 2017. It borrowed assets from New Leaf and City Folk.

While New Horizons stopped receiving new updates rather quickly, Pocket Camp stayed in the background, receiving new items, feature updates, villagers, and seasonal events throughout the remaining years of the 3DS and the release and subsequent abandonment of New Horizons.

As such, I can see how people were introduced to Animal Crossing through Pocket Camp, and I can also see how fans used Pocket Camp to wait for the next Animal Crossing game.

However, all good things must come to an end, and Pocket Camp's service ended on November 28, 2024 at 15:00 UTC.

I discovered this game in October 2018 while I was looking at Super Mario Run. I've played it in short bursts since then, with the longest burst being in 2020, when I rediscovered my City Folk town.

And I had another long burst starting in late August 2024, when I was browsing GameFAQs one day and saw that Nintendo had announced the end of service for Pocket Camp.

But you can bet I preordered Pocket Camp Complete. And you can bet I started playing it on day one.
