An Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Subscription Appears to be Coming
Only two months after launching a (comparatively expensive) subscription option in the mobile Mario Kart Tour, Nintendo appears to be bringing a subscription plan to Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.
A ResetEra user by the name of ZeoVGM (as reported by NintendoLife) caught some details of the new subscription service, dubbed “Pocket Camp Club.” The new service will apparently launch on November 21 this year, with two subscription tiers available to select from.

Lou Ferrigno, who played The Hulk opposite Bill Bixby's Dr. David Bruce Banner in the famous 70s/80s TV series, had some disapproving words recently about the way Hulk was portrayed in Avengers: Endgame.
While speaking at Canada’s Hamilton Comic Con (as reported by ComicBook.com), Ferrigno took umbrage with the way Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner, in the film, had merged his mind with Hulk's body.
