Aside from the ongoing rush of support by players all over the world for Animal Crossing series, the mobile version of the game which is called Pocket Camp has an ongoing crisis with most Southeast Asian countries (excluding Singapore and Thailand) such as Philippines. Many people living in this country wants to know why Nintendo is not making this game available when there are clearly many Filipinos are very actively playing and spending money on games such as this fun and cute game. 

Nintendo services such as eShop are not available in most Southeast Asian countries. People living in this part of Asia need to run through some hoops and are relying only on cracked version of the game or are using VPNs in order for them to have access and enjoy it, which is by the way, a pain-in-the-neck to go through. 

Why doesn't Nintendo support some of these SEA countries when clearly it will extend their business and sales? 

As an Animal Crossing player, such as myself, it is disappointing that I cannot enjoy the in-app purchases because of this crisis in the game. But I do know one thing: if Nintendo starts to pull off the game in the SEA countries, Pocket Camp will definitely be a hit for many years. I have been enjoying this game for 2 years now since its official release date and the only thing that's getting in my way is that I cannot level up fast because of the country restrictions which is needed to purchase the packs and leaf tickets for furniture and cosmetic items (also for skipping furniture crafting and time-consuming activities).

I do hope that Nintendo will extend their reach to SEA as soon as possible. Players such as I will happily spend their dime on this relaxing and cute little game.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is undoubtedly one of the best simulation games I have ever played. Maybe one or two years from now, we can all get to enjoy it without any cutback.
