Nintendo's latest investor's Q&A has been published in Japanese, and while we wait for the full English translation a few bits and pieces are coming through on social media.
According to Wall Street Journal's Takashi Mochizuki, Nintendo CEO Tatsumi Kimishima has refused to be drawn on the question of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp offering any kind of connectivity with "dedicated" Animal Crossing games on consoles:
Given the likelihood of an Animal Crossing game coming to Switch in the not too distant future, it would be amazing to see Pocket Camp have some form of interaction with a "mainline" console outing. Given that your phone is at your side all day long, some form of connection could allow players to gain resources while they're away from their Switch.
Hopefully Nintendo is just keeping its cards close to its chest at present, and we'll see something like this happen in the fullness of time. Make your own predictions known by posting a comment below.

I'd say it'll connect to the Switch version when it inevitably up.
There's a good chance it will be connected. I don't see why they wouldn't, it's free advertising basically.
Totally it will Connect 😀
i'd be shock if this isn't.
Probably means Animal Crossing Switch won't be announced until E3 2018 at the earliest.
Doo ittt....
I can see it as possibly. With miitomo and Super Mario Run connecting to each other through MyNintendo, as with Splatoon 2 and the Nintendo Switch app, I'm optimistic that game to game is possible with this through the Switch.
So yes.
Of course they won't say if they haven't announced the Switch game yet.. Seriously.. It's a bit harsh to use words like "refuses".
Nintendo has a very carefully planned out announcement schedule.
Animal Crossing Switch confirmed!!!!
What a time to be alive!
I never owned Wild World, but didn't it have some kind of connectivity to the City Folk/Let's Go To The City? I did have the Gamecube/GBA Link Cable so I could connect the original Animal Crossing, and it would be nice to see that tradition continued. Maybe they could even do a small update to New Leaf to add connectivity to the Switch version?
Eh don't think it'll happen. Amiibo could, I doubt exchanges could happen between the phone and the Switch, in the sense that Nintendo would wanna do it.
they confirmed this forever ago
If it didn’t connect with a console version, they would simply say so. The fact that they’re being secretive tells me there is something to announce in the future.
Next year will mark a decade since city folk released......
I need animal crossing on the switch soooo bad. But i want it to reinvent itself, go big.
That fact that they are saying that they can't confirm it conforms it😄. But I'm really looking forward to pocket camp(decided to wait until the official release) and Animal Crossing switch. I hope it gets announced it the usual early year direct.
@Aozz101x I LOVE your icon.
I believe they would confirm interconnection if the Switch version were officially announced. We all basically know this will happen, but they can't let out the explosion of social media coverage on a new AC game with a whimper by semi-announcing it using a mobile game
