What do you guys think of the possibility of Animal Crossing Wii U being announced at E3 2015? I really want it to happen.

I know right.
nah but you knew what was meant!
I didn't....
I'm praying harder than anything for AC Wii U to be announced this year, but unfortunately, I highly doubt it's coming just yet.
Apparently a very large portion of the AC team had been working on Splatoon. Not to mention they also have "Happy Home Designer" coming Fall this year as well.
However......
This article made my hopes rise once again, we might actually get an announcement, but I wouldn't expect a release until Spring, maybe Summer 2016 for us. AC takes a very long time to localize and translate, etc with all the dialogue and all. If the game is a similar port of ACNL. Kinda like how ACCF was a sort of port of ACWW, it might not take as long. I think we all got ACCF around the same time as Japan, possibly before, so yeah.
Rant, over.

Wait, what? A large portion of Animal Crossing team cut time to work on Splatoon? Ooh, this makes me dislike Splatoon even more.
I have mixed feelings about it. I would love a new Animal Crossing but it will mean getting a Wii U. Also I will probably not be able to resist and that means goodbye to some of my savings. I'm guessing it won't come out until next year though so at least I will have time to save up!
SO MANY FEELS FOR WII U ANIMAL CROSSING
i hope they announce it even if they dont have footage id still be happy as i only got into the series with New leaf and id like to see what its like on a home console and the HD graphics will be stunning i really hope they announce it,
my thoughts:
mid 2016 release
still play as mayor
isabelle will still be secretary
instead of train travel it will be Aeroplane for overseas and interstate, and taxi for someone close by,
but hey what do i know I dont work for nintendo, but i wish i did haha

1) If you think that AC Wii U was "hindered" because the team was working on Splatoon then L O L at you. You really need to learn how game development works.
2) Happy Home Designer works on the same engine as New Leaf, so the work to actually get that up and working would be minimal. Not to mention... It's a spin off.
3) Saying you "dislike Splatoon even more" because "the AC team cut time to work on it" is the pettiest thing I've ever seen.
That said though, I don't think we'll get an announcement at E3, but that's only because of Happy Home Designers announcement. Before it's announcement, I was adamant it'd be shown this year, but now I'm not too sure. I don't think it will happen, but I also think there's a possibility it may happen. Regardless, I don't really care if they announce it or not.

I would be incredibly happy if they announced Animal Crossing for Nintendo Wii U, but I really would like them to announce the final six amiibo that I am missing from the Super Smash Bros. Collection.
Falco, R.O.B, Duck Hunt Duo, Mr. Game and Watch, Lucas and Mewtwo.

Yeah =/ I'm personally not a huge fan of Splatoon either, but I respect the uniqueness of the game. Tbh, I feel like Splatoon was a huuuge risk for Nintendo, especially if they delayed AC Wii U development time over it. I mean, it's a new IP, and you never know how those will do. They are pretty much guaranteed mad bank with an Animal Crossing on the Wii U, haha.
Yeah, if it's a brand new Animal Crossing game, like introducing new villagers, animals, etc. Odds are we won't be getting it until Spring of 2016 at the earliest =/
You should totally get a Wii U, it's worth it
You can probably find an 8GB model for like $100 on ebay, they aren't really that pricey.Yeah =/ I'm personally not a huge fan of Splatoon either, but I respect the uniqueness of the game.

Yeah, I respect that Splatoon is an innovative game and plenty of people like it, but then again how are people going to react to it if they find out AC Wii U development time was cut for it? Hopefully we will still at the very least get an announcement for AC Wii U this year, even if the game doesn't come out for another year or two.
It was literally like ten people from the AC team who worked on Splatoon... Not 100. To put that into perspective, there was a team of roughly 500 working on Pokemon X and Y, so take a moment to think about just how many people would've been working on New Leaf, then how many would be working on AC Wii U, and then subtract a mere 10 from that number. Their loss would have barely hindered the games development at all. If you're delusional enough to think that AC Wii U has been "delayed" for anything longer than ~3 months (and even that's generous) - because really, do you think Nintendo would stop development on one of their current top 5 best selling franchises in favor of a new IP - then lol ok have fun believing such trivial things!!!

Oh, okay. Didn't know that few people split their priorities to work on Splatoon. I guess it really doesn't matter that they did then.

This. Thread. Isn't. Even. About. Amiibo.
I am crossing everything in the hope for this game. I think it would be beautiful, after seeing what they done with the WiiU Plaza and the Mario Kart 8 course. I do think it will be into 2016 before it's released, but I am fine with that. I am still loving New Leaf and not bored with it yet, I could easily play for a lot longer.
I think it would make perfect since to Nintendo as it's so popular, which is obvious in that they're releasing a spin off. The question isn't if, it's when! Although that's not to say it'll definietly be on the WiiU, I guess there's a chance of another 3DS main game. But as it's been coming out console, handheld, console, handheld... I think it's time! Plus what a great way to sell the system. If I didn't already have one, I'd buy a WiiU for an AC title.

Lol whoa bro, calm down
Where did you read that only about 10 people from the AC team were working on Splatoon? I believe the Director of AC was involved with Splatoon development as well, so I would think that's a pretty big deal. But you're right, odds are the AC team is pretty huge, but I haven't come across any solid information regarding how big the team actually is, however. A few articles I read awhile back were making it seem like AC was likely not to be on the way this year due to Splatoon development, so I kinda assumed it got in the way some how.
Your input gives me a lot more hope now, in the event of Splatoon not actually taking up much development time, we may actually get an AC Wii U announcement next week.
God damn, I can't wait till Tuesday.
