Nintendo's 'Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp' to get two paid subscriptions

Whether you like it or now, it seems we'll be seeing more and more of the subscription model, even in games. This time, Nintendo plans to introduce two in-game subscriptions for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Nintendo explained in its announcement that one would let you "appoint one lucky animal as camp caretaker and get some extra help around the campsite," while the other will let you "receive fortune cookies and store [their] furniture and clothing items in warehouses." Beyond that, we don't know what the subscriptions entail, including the prices. The subscriptions will start rolling out on November 21st. If we base it off the Mario Kart Tour subscription, then that puts the cost at around $6.49.

Mobile is still a small percentage of Nintendo's business. It went up 6.4 percent year-over-year to 19.9 billion yet, but it still only represents less than five percent of the company's overall sales. If the public is receptive, though, we might see more of these offerings in future games.
