This looks disappointing

himeki · May 1, 2015

As much as I am a lifetime fan of the Animal Crossing Series, this game looks disappointing. The fact that it is marketed as a full price game where to play it you should buy additional cards is upsetting. Especially since all it looks like its home decoration. Don't get me wrong-this feature would be great in Animal Crossing WiiU as a side game, but for a full game it just seems sloppy.

??? It's not a full game and most likely won't be sold at full price either.

RosieThePeppyCat · May 1, 2015

The price hasn't been confirmed yet. It's not going to be a full game, it's just a spin-off.

I doubt it will be any more than 24.99 UK pound

That's how much a new cartridge of ACNL costs, so it kinda is full price xD

I googled the conversion and UK? 24.99 = 42.89 USD

I'm unfortunately gonna have to side with MayorEvvie on this.

who cares
it is spin-off
it is allowed to be boring

now if it was main series
then that would be booty

Shimmer · May 1, 2015

I doubt it'll be full price. It seems like a small enough game for an app even. XD

Captain Crazy Chicken · May 1, 2015

They might cancel this piece of crap then.

To be honest, that's what I would expect, but they wouldn't make IRL amiibo cards for a app :c

Its a spin-off so we'll forgive it for being boring.

Silly chicken, Nintendo isn't going to do that. < v <

They're not like Capcom or Konami or anything...

Isn't the title what anyone said of any game ever?

Actually on release, ACNL was ?40 like most other 3DS games (or ?39.99 if we're nitpicking). A new one may be ?24 these days but its been out a while so I guess the price will have dropped.

But yea, I've not really looked at the game since it was announced since it seemed more like just decorating houses which I would get bored with pretty darn quickly. Obviously I don't know much about it and will probably look it up closer to release when more info is available.

Assuming you 'NEED' cards to really do anything with it and seeing that Nintendo have tried delving into the Free to Play market recently, I wouldn't be surprised if this is free to play but require the cards to actually use.
If the cards are that necessary to the game it would be pretty awful to give the game a price tag at all. Even if some cards were included, I would expect quite a few of them considering there doesn't seem to be much depth or substance to the game as far as I've seen.
Not to mention you would need the card/amiibo reader if you still use an original or XL 3DS as your primery handheld, which a significant amount of people still do, so that's another hunk of cash you'll need to throw at it since I assume they'll be sold as a separate thing given the 'new 3DS' has this built in which makes it unnecessary to ship the reader with the game itself.

It's looking to be the most expensive game on a current Nintendo platform so far...And it's a bloody spin-off.

himeki · May 1, 2015

I agree. Stuff like Pokemon Shuffle is annoying, because it actually limits how long you can play for at any one time unless you buy the gems, and I generally follow the FREE to play section of F2P games. Also, the reader is going to be annoying too. I personally use a New 3DS, but my sister uses my old one and she would have to buy the reader. In addition, people are more likely to lose cards then big figurines. And I know this is a aesthetical point, but seriously, figurines would have been nice. But yeah, for a game that its just home design, it really would end up being the most expensive Animal Crossing yet.
Or we could have another thing like the New 3DS faceplates- you can't find a pack of cards anywhere.

jobby47 · May 1, 2015

Yeah, I am not too excited for it, if it wasn't a spin-off, I would totally get it.

I'm still going with the idea that they'll have the cards function for the inevitable Animal Crossing U game as well. Which if true, might mean we'll have some form of info on it by the end of the year

Just buy a card binder. Even a cheap one would do.

Unless you're 5 and your parents don't help you keep up with your **** or something, this is really a non-issue.

himeki · May 2, 2015

I think that was a little mean, but people are entitled to an opinion

It would really make a great feature in another game though!

This looks disappointing
