April 2026 marks the 25th Anniversary of Animal Crossing in Japan, with the US not technically hitting 25 years until 2027. 25 years tends to be one of those events that Nintendo usually celebrates. So, the question is, what do you expect to happen? Personally, I want to believe we'll at the...

There are quite a few things I'd like to see: A game with the PoV and sense of scale of the Mario Kart 8 track. More varied weather: Allow fog to happen all day long. Have snow be possible in late October/early November in addition to raid, allow rain in winter, and some late season snow in...

I don't know if it'll hit New Horizon's numbers, but the next one will almost definitely be a top selling game depending on when it comes out and whether or not they do a bundle like they did for the Switch 1 and 3DS. I think the next Animal Crossing will probably sell in the 20M range...

Generative AI should be disallowed across the board. To properly use Generative AI, it requires you to train it specifically on either your own work or public domain works. Since it's doubtful anyone here has their own private Generative AI tool, that means they're almost certainly using tools...

If they ported it, I think they'd remove the GBA requirement for the island (you just get it), and they'd probably remove the requirement to have a friend buy you to update Nook's like they did for Wild World on Wii U. I don't know if they'd do anything for visiting towns. Full online would...

I think we'll get an announcement later this year announcing a 2026 release. Next year will be Animal Crossing's 25th anniversary in Japan, so it'd be the perfect time to launch a new game. Though 2027 would be the 25th anniversary of the US release.

The Zen Set, Jingle series, Cabin series, Ice series, and Alpine series are probably my favorites. I do love all of the Japanese and Asian-style furniture sets in Pocket Camp as well; I'd love those to come a mainline game. The Japanese Summer Festival stuff, Sunrise Temple stuff, and the...

Something similar to the GBA island for the next game, or a mobile Happy Home Designer would be fine, but I'd rather not see a full game on it. Even if they made a true mainline game that costs money and was free of microtransactions, the controls would still be something I'd rather avoid...

My biggest hope is the game is more like the Mario Kart 8 track in terms of graphical style and POV, as it feels like the next evolution of the series. The first-person mode of the camera app in NH seems like a test run for that. However, here are some of the things I'd like to see even if the...

I am not expecting Animal Crossing to be shown in April 2 Direct, nor do I expect it to come this year. But I wouldn't be surprised if either was the case. I won't go in expecting it. Since the Switch 2 is coming out in 2025, I'm expecting the next Animal Crossing in 2026. I'm still hoping that...

Go K.K. Rider, Two Days Ago, and K.K. Robot Synth probably top my list.

I'm going to vote for "More Animals and Less Humans", but I wouldn't mind a combination of both. Make it so that if you live with only 4 humans in your town, you can have more villagers. But if you decide you want more human players, you'll have to give up a villager for each one. This way...

By this logic, there was no reason for Animal Crossing e+, since Animal Forest+ already existed on the Gamecube. Or New Leaf since the DS had Wild World and the 3DS could play it... The Switch 2, even if it looks like the Switch, will be a new system. Even if it's backwards compatible, there's...

To this day, Yoshi remains as my favorite.

I had the original, but traded it in for the New 3DS XL when that came out.
