New Animal Crossing: Jump Out information was revealed during a Japanese Nintendo Direct presentation this morning, including in-game StreetPass features and many more choices when it comes to activities in town, according to GoNintendo.
Once you've collected a few StreetPasses from other Jump Out players, you'll be able to view their homes and trade in-game items with them. And as mayor, you can use your office to choose what you put in the town and where you put it. You can redesign your house with the help of store owner Tom Nook, as well as design custom items to be sold later on.
