Yoshio Sakamoto has gone on record to talk about Nintendo’s next home console. Obviously he doesn’t give anything away but it’s interesting anyway.

“At Nintendo we always have the obligation to surprise users with a new game console. We have never done what others have. We prefer to create something new that catches attention, and I think this will continue this time as well. Surely the new Nintendo machine will leave you all with your mouth open.”

After Nintendo left us all with our mouth’s open with the 3DS, I really can’t wait to see that they have in store for us with their next home console!

Take the money you get from selling the hen’s eggs and buy new animals to take care of and the equipment you need on your farm to do so. Little by little as your farm builds up, you will unlock certain bonuses (wind turbine, rooster, guard dog, tractor, etc.). And you will be able to exchange your animals with your friends who play My Farm or My Exotic Farm!
