If you’re the kind of person who gets annoyed by vaguebooking, chances are this latest “announcement" by Nintendo isn’t going to do too much for you. However, if you’re the kind of person who loves to be teased along by video game marketing, boy do we have a treat for you. Nintendo has been tweeting various things from Pocket Camp since the game soft launched a few weeks ago, but today’s tease surrounds the fact that the Animal Crossing fortune teller, Katrina, might have something mysterious in store for us soon:
Do you remember Katrina, the fortune teller? I hear she's got something mysterious and fun in store for all of us soon… #PocketCamp pic.twitter.com/gpITI3egz1

Is Nintendo about to drop the release date of Animal Crossing? Is this an elaborate troll to announce that the McRib is in fact back? Or something else entirely? Who knows! I’ve had my money on a launch of Pocket Camp on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday next week as that’d be the perfect opportunity for everyone to download it and encourage their friends and family at Thanksgiving to do the same.
What’ll Nintendo do, though? I guess we’ll have to wait for Katrina to tell us.
Update: Eagle-eyed Twitter user @RandomPhil86 points out that they might just be teasing this promotional website where you can answer some of Katrina’s questions and find out who your friend in Pocket Camp going to be. Hopefully this tease is a bit more substantial than that, but, who knows!
Update 2: YEP!

...and there goes my social life for a year.
Loved playing Wild World on my DS. Looking forward to trying this!
Searching the App Store would not pull this up. Had to search Nintendo. Thanks!
On my iPhone I had to search the latest apps section. It didn't come up in search for me either.
I just got it from the link here via the TA app, for iOS.

That’s handy,Can’t sign in,keep getting error.
So it’s like The Sims?
It's a very laid-back game where your main goal is to just decorate your house and meet neighbors. There's no grinding through everything in an hour, you just do things around your world for a little bit at a time every day. And the day cycle is matched to your clock cycle, so there's things like night and day and seasons.
Communication errors all the time, possible server overload I guess.
Hey, my friend ID is 9520 0291 107. Feel free to add me.
So many errors and retries. It’s been fun, what little I’ve played so far, though.
You'd think after all this time that Nintendo would have network issues all worked out...
