ACWiiU

If they do I'm sure my heart will break, I only bought the crappy 3ds for acnl.
SAME. I have no other games and need no other games hahaha.
I bought cityfolk but hated how unportable wii gaming is. Handhelds will probably have the edge on any wiiu game.
 
Let's go to the City was the first animal crossing game I picked up. Besides the grass wear, it was still a good game and still my favourite. I know why it gets all the stick though so need for anyone to explain that mess for me.

I feel there was something in the previous games that was lost in new leaf. Maybe just a feel, the art or even the music that changed up just that little bit too much. Hope the next game recaptures them feels that I am disastrously trying to explain here.
 
I can imagine how beautiful an Animal Crossing game would look like with HD graphics on the Wii U. I really think it's time for Nintendo to announce that. I think they'll wait another year or so though, since New Leaf only have been out for a year. I look forward to it! :)

Basically, I'm imagining your signature with HD graphics.
And I think that looks pretty freaking awesome.
 
Y'all really wanna spend $60 on an HD, non-portable version of New Leaf? Alright then.

How do you know it'll be exactly like New Leaf? Going by most people's logic, City Folk was the only one that was a disappointment for lack of new content, but just because it would be on the Wii U doesn't mean it'll be an exact copy of New Leaf. Plus, people don't realize that the game has already been out for almost two years, not one, and that some of us aren't asking for a next day release but rather the possibility of an announcement of it being worked on.
 
Me and a friend thought of at least 200 ideas for the next AC game. We have a list.
 
I already read that article and I'm actually glad they said that, since it further proves the point that the new one won't be an exact copy of New Leaf just because it's on a console.

Still not 2 years since it's not November.

But that article more or less says it's not likely to happen any time soon.
 
The AC Dev team is working on Splatoon now so after some time its finished they will start on You know what. For now ill just play Accf.

I'm gonna guess the earliest it'll happen is early 2016, especially if nintendo doesn't want to release too much at once? However with all the models made for now in HD it's very possible? we'll just have to wait. I feel like the wii u game, if it comes, will have a view more like the game cube game, as opposed to the rolling log world.
 
Animal Crossing on portable consoles sure made a lot of sense considering its usual scope. You could typically squeeze between 10 minutes and an hour just for doing some daily grind. If you can find enough time, that is. Portability isn't the sole factor of the success found in handheld versions. Both Animal Crossing Wild World and New Leaf actually exploited many of the features from the handheld systems to their fullest potential and actually did some fresh changes to their formula.

My biggest gripes with Animal Crossing: City Folk are: the game being released on the wrong system, and not improving much to ACWW. Not that because it isn't released on a portable system, but the Wii just seemed to be a poor system choice to work on it to begin with. They didn't even bothered to exploit the system's sparse unique features well enough to warrant better sales. WiiConnect24 wasn't enough, online multiplayer isn't improved much even with Wii Speak accessory, Wii Remote's awkward functions were tacked-on and graphics haven't improved much aside of raising the polygon count. ACCF felt more like of stopgap release of the franchise than a true new installment.

With that being said, home console releases shouldn't be necessarily ruled out. Wii U appears to be a much better system to release a console version of Animal Crossing, despite of not being as portable as the handhelds do. The Wii U GamePad has a touch screen that could act similarly to how New Leaf did. And there's even a mic that could be useful for Island Tours. If Nintendo wants to make this Wii U version of AC successful, the development staff have to prove why the game should be on that system. It should also exploit all of the available features in a creative way while substantially improving on what the 3DS installment has done wrong (i.e. balancing the Island Tours). Otherwise, it'll come off as a ACNL port rather than a legitimately new game and won't justify the purchase of a Wii U console.


As to when the Wii U installment will be announced, it could range anytime from next year's E3 to mid-2016 at worst. Splatoon could be a factor that may push the inevitable Animal Crossing installment, because it's planned to release sometimes in 2015. The closure of Animal Crossing Plaza may be a good indicator of the upcoming Animal Crossing game, given that they could reuse the character assets that were already present on the software. So, that's already a good part of development done at this point.
Everyone seems to forgot that there's the now-worthless Update Data button mysteriously sitting in ACNL's main menu. It supposedly get the latest updates from Nintendo's server, but then there's absolutely no update after the Japanese/South Korean v1.1 data launched since late March 2013 (every other region were built from the latest revision). One year after the patch was released in Eastern countries, it seems that the development team didn't bothered fixing/adding things to ACNL anymore. It's more likely suggesting that Animal Crossing for Wii U could be possibly already planned to be announced at some point in the future.


As a owner of both Japanese and American version of ACNL, I already grew bored of it after a year or so of playing them. I admit that they did a good job on keeping myself glued to them for three months, especially since I consider it to be the best Animal Crossing title I ever played during the whole lifetime. In the next 2 years, watch me breaking my wallet by ordering a Japanese Wii U and downloading the game from the same franchise if it ever release months before the localized versions arrive!

I love the portability but tbh I thought $30
was expensive lol. There's no way I'm willingly
spending $60 for that game unless it's just amaze
