Animal Crossing: Jump Out (とびだせどうぶつの森 Tobidase Dōbutsu no Mori, lit. "Leap Out Animal Forest") is a video game announced for the Nintendo 3DS. The fourth game in the Animal Crossing series, the game will maintain much of the same gameplay from previous titles. However, in this game your character takes on the role of mayor of the town. It is not exactly known what this will entail, though it has been confirmed that the player will be able to somewhat customize the town by adding things such as benches, lamp posts, and solar panels. Some believe that the player could possibly even schedule special days and festivals. It is currently unknown if Tortimer will appear in the game because of this.

The game will utilize StreetPass by using other players’ houses that have been picked up by StreetPass as a model in the new real estate section of the town.

It was also suggested that the game may feature optional downloadable content, though what that could be is unknown.
