I'm so confused why everyone expects/wants an AC Wii U announcement.
They've already announced the spinoff. It wouldn't make any sense to have a spinoff come out if you're just going to release a completely full game not long after it. If anything there won't be any mention of AC outside of the spinoff until months after it's come out.
Well, Happy Home Designer is most likely reusing a lot of assets from Animal Crossing: New Leaf, therefore its development time is significantly shorter than developing one of the main Animal Crossing installments. Though, that doesn't entirely mean that an announcement about the Wii U installment is potentially coming at E3 2015, unless they come up with ideas that would interest a good portion of the gaming industry and would release it in the next year. The staff is also working on Splatoon, which has DLCs coming a bit after its launch. The team got a lot of stuff to do at the moment, so I would be very surprised if they manage to show a main AC installment on Wii U.
