Sub headline: The Animal Crossing-esque Disney game is scheduled for release this spring.

"A new Disney-themed game is coming to 3DS in April, Nintendo announced today. Disney Magical World was unveiled as part of a press release boasting about U.S. sales of the 3DS, which have reached 11.5 million units.

While brief, the announcement says Magical World features dozens of Disney characters found in various Disney-themed worlds. Disney-themed outfits can be used to dress up the player's character, who can spend time managing a cafe, planting crops, collecting Disney trading cards. Players can also help out the Disney characters they come across with various tasks; two generic examples cited in the press release are solving problems and finding missing items.

The game, which sounds vaguely reminiscent of Animal Crossing, was released in Japan last year as Disney Magic Castle: My Happy Life. It'll be released in the U.S. on April 11 at retail and on the eShop. There's no word as of yet regarding a European release."

Sounds like casualware.

My fiancée is going to go ballistic

This is great news!

The collaborations between Nintendo and Disney show a strong relation, but...
Square-Enix is not developing Kingdom Hearts 3 for the Wii U
EA is not developing Star Wars games for the Wii U

I don't think Disney executives will be very happy with those choices.

Cool. I didn't know this game was like Animal Crossing, but it makes sense.

If I'm not mistaken, this sold quite well in Japan...
It will be interesting to see how this does in the US...

This one came out of nowhere. At least we are seeing what's coming to 2DS in the near future. Most of the year is still a mystery.

Judging from the screenshots, that game has a far better 'Disney-feel' than Disney Infinity does .
