Animal Crossing Plaza

Animal Crossing Plaza was a Miiverse based social networking service that was released on August 7, 2013. It was later discontinued and removed from the

Nintendo eShop on December 22, 2014. The ability to make new posts on Animal Crossing Plaza was removed on December 31, 2014. The application was only available on the Wii U. People who downloaded the game before it got discontinued can still access it but all of its social network features are unusable.

Animal Crossing Plaza was filled with villagers from the Animal Crossing series walking around. The villagers would display posts that other users have posted about them. If you were to tap on any of these Animal Crossing NPC's a screen on your Wii U gamepad would appear. The screen would display the villager you chose to tap on and what others were posting about that specific villager. You could also make a post about that villager. Your post could include a screenshot that you've taken in New Leaf but you had to insert your SD card into the Wii U to insert the screenshot. You could also store all of your screenshots in albums on Animal Crossing Plaza. In the middle of the plaza, there was a giant tree where K.K. Slider would be playing his guitar. And Isabelle would announce events that were going to be taking place in Animal Crossing New Leaf. Next to Isabelle, there was a bulletin board where there would be announcements from the Animal Crossing game devs.
