The latest issue of the Official Nintendo Magazine contains a massive, massive nod towards a new Animal Crossing game...

How many of you have allowed your Animal Crossing: Wild World villages to fall into a spiralling vortex of overgrown weeds, unpaid mortgages and general neglect? Perhaps it's time for a fresh start on a certain chart-topping, motion-sensing console...

Seemingly answering the prayers of raccoon-fearing Nintendo fans everywhere, the latest issue of the Official Nintendo Magazine appears to hint at a new installment of Animal Crossing, to be revealed next issue. The Next Month page is almost completely occupied by Wild World artwork with the caption, "It's been a while! It's time to revisit an old friend. How's your village doing these days?"

Surely they're not planning an extensive Wild World retrospective? NGamer's next issue is set to reveal a new Nintendo project too - will we see Animal Crossing Wii at E3? Post your thoughts below.
