AC 3DS 2012. Calling it now. There's plenty of indication of Mario Kart, OoT, Starfox 64 and Kid Icarus coming in 2011. Which is really good actually. Four giant AAA games will be released before the 3DS is even 1 year old. Maybe even another hidden one to be announced at E3. Where's Animal Crossing and Paper Mario? Nowhere. Expect both of them in 2012.

This turned out to be surprisingly accurate when observing Nintendo's release list.

*rakes in brownie points*

It's gonna a long wait guys. Seriously don't expect it anytime this year.
 
As long as the game is good, I dun' care.

I agree with you there, and I approve of your grammar! It made me giggle. What's the point of a potentially great game that is rushed onto the shelves only partially finished and not reaching its full potential. I want Nintendo's full capabilities displayed in this game. None of that shoopdewhoop where a great idea just flops.

Looking forward to every single game on that list. Maybe not so much for Lego City Stories.
 
Sadly that's no guarantee with this series.

But this game looks entirely promising and innovative bringing back things from old games, and adding just the right amount of new stuff to keep the "Animal Crossing feel" as so many people complain about. If they want the same game over again, they should just replay the one they already have. I think the Animal Crossing feel reflects progress. Ya know.. filling the museum up, paying off loans for a larger home, getting better and better furniture, increasing wardrobe choices, collecting those rare not purchasable items; It's all progress. So why wouldn't you expect to make progress between games in the series due to all of the hard work.

Of course it looks great. But I'm going to be skeptical. I will not forget what happened with City Folk. The trailer showed all there was to City Folk, aside from how bad it was and how many of the features suffered from poor execution, while other things were changed and ruined for no reason at all.

The trailer for AC:3DS looks great, but as I said, City Folk's did as well. Nintendo can make a horrible game look good. I'm not saying that this game will be bad, it's just that this series doesn't have a good track record. There's no guarantees that it will be good, sadly.

I like City Folk. There, I said it. I think your problem is you just want to play Wild World. You can't have growth without change. You can't learn without mistakes.

Except AC:GCN is actually my favorite, by far.

Wild World was a hit-or-miss sequel, but it at least made many positive changes. City Folk did not. The only really positive change that wasn't canceled out by poor execution was bringing back the holidays.

City Folk seemed fun when I first got it. I didn't understand everybody's complaining about it, but after playing it for a week or two I started realizing that the complaints were valid. Knock of the shiny new graphics and that "OMG it's a new game!" feeling and the game's flaws really start showing.

It's not about accepting change. Learning to like Wild World was about accepting change. However, I will not and can not learn to "accept" something that is so clearly inferior to its predecessor. There are very few redeeming qualities about City Folk.

BUT this is not the place for this. =/ I didn't really intend for an argument to come out of my statement the other day. I was just merely stating that this game being delayed does not insure that it will be great.

I'm sick of the lack of information for this game. We had E3, no release date, no title. I got my 3DS in May, and I'm ready to move on from Wild World. That trailer was such a tease, and I seriously doubt we'll be seeing this game until after Spring next year. Maybe we'll hear about it at next year's E3? (along with the new SSB games that haven't even started in development? -_-)
 
I preferred wild world as it was portable.
It only had one level which made getting around your town easier.
It was the first AC i had.
Had a lot of fun with friends in real life that i couldn't with city folk.
And loads more reasons
 
I went and got Zelda and also got a list of when games come out and mine says Animal Crossing 3DS 1/3/12. Although i dont want to wait i do agree that i want them to take their time and make this game as good as possible. Im also glad it comes out the 3rd of January because then we start the game at the begging of the year going through each holiday in order.

That's not in any way an official release date.
 
DX noooo i need it now

Right?? I would like it to be released in August, but I don't see that happening. As long as it's good, I think I'll be fine waiting til Christmas for my copy. And possibly my 3ds. hah. I haven't seen any other titles really worth getting yet.

Heyy mee tooo. I have the exact same story. Loving Zelda by the way- hope you are as well.
And, I agree. I don't have a problem with waiting until next year, because I want Nintendo to take their time. This will be the fourth installment in the series and every fan in the world is hoping for it to be a seriously good game.
 
Ughhhh.......Why do they have to post-pone it so long. I'm not good for waiting for games i really want. I want a good game but i also want it sooner!! 1/3/12 is a long time away and it's winter the worst season to start the game!
 
Nintendo released to Nintendo Power that the game will be released next year (the end of the fiscal year).
