Nintendo stated that it will add a new subscription service for its 'Animal Crossing' mobile game. The Animal Crossing subscription service will have two versions that will both launch on November 21st. One of the plans will provide help around the user's site, while the other plan will allow users to receive fortune cookies, as well as other perks.
Nintendo created a similar mobile subscription service for Mario Kart Tour in the past, which was priced at $5 per month.
Currently, the subscription model will replace the existing version which relies more on in-app purchases. Additionally, the new subscription model will provide Nintendo with a more consistent revenue stream, which will replace a potentially variable system based on in-app purchases.
