Hisashi Nogami has been a key member of the Nintendo team for over 20 years, and today marks the launch of his latest contribution, Splatoon. Nogami served as the producer on Splatoon, helping to guide a team of younger Nintendo developers to create a new IP that stood out from other genres with unique gameplay and characters.

Nogami was recently interviewed by Engadget and talked about some of the ideas and inspirations behind

Splatoon, but he was also asked about another series he’s associated with. Nogami has served as director on multiple Animal Crossing games, but he was apparently unable to give an answer when asked about the franchise’s potential future on Wii U.

So my very last question then is: When are we going to see Animal Crossing on Wii U? Well, that’s difficult for me to answer at the moment! Yup. That’s pretty much all we can say. What I will say is that you may have seen an announcement recently about an Animal Crossing product coming out on the 3DS… I can tack that on to the end of my response.

Whether Nogami gave a non-answer because there are no plans for the franchise on Wii U or because there are and he’s not allowed to talk about it is anyone’s guess. Would you like to see

Animal Crossing come to Wii U?
