Here's what Bob has to say about this:

It would be cool to hear an announcement about a Wii U Animal Crossing. However, I am also unsure how to feel about it because I am wondering what kind of new features would be added into Animal Crossing to make the next game fun. The Happy Home Designer coming on the New 3ds doesn't really sound appealing.
 
I doubt there will be one bc the Wii U is semi-old, there's a new console coming out soon and ac is better on handhelds anyways.

I don't think we'll get an announcement at E3, but that's only because of Happy Home Designers announcement..

Pretty much this. It's very unlikely that they are going to announce a Wii U AC before they have their spinoff game out on shelves. It's kind of silly to expect at e3 this early anyway. It's only been two years since New Leaf came out, so if they follow their last trend they'll announce the game next year and then not release it until 2019.

Lol. I honestly can't tell if you're trolling or not.

In all seriousness though, 2 years does seem like a pretty short amount of time, but on the other hand, we did get CF 3 years after ACWW so it's not THAT big of a leap, especially if AC Wii U launched in 2016. That'd be a full 3 years. Also, excuse me if I'm wrong, but I don't even think ACNL received an E3 announcement at all. The AC logo was just displayed with a bunch of other games that were soon to arrive on the 3DS, it was officially announced later down the line with a Direct. That seems much more likely than an E3 announcement at this point, but meh you never know.


Also, I have to disagree with everyone who believes Nintendo is holding off on a console AC expansion until their new hardware releases. Right now, as far as I now, they have not confirmed whether or not the "NX" is a home console, or a handheld. I personally want to believe it's a new handheld, as the "3DS" line has been going on forever now, and generally we get a new handheld device before we get a new home console. Whatever it is, we probably won't get getting it until 2017 at the earliest.

I thought the NX was a new thing that Nintendo was creating mobile-wise, like for phones?

Yeah pretty much. Which is exactly why this leads me to believe we're finally getting a brand new. It's not for phones, this is their new hardware, but they've partnered with some mobile or telecommunications company or something, not really sure anymore, it's been awhile. I'd check this out if you're interested - http://www.wired.com/2015/03/nintendo-nx-analysis/

After quickly browsing the article, it reminded me that they are creating this next hardware to achieve more of a bond when it comes to handheld, and home console hardware. So personally, I think the Wii U is going to be around for a bit longer.

Do you think the NX would be something like a Nintendo tablet?

I'm not so sure about a tablet, but I do believe that catering to the Smart Phone audience is what they're aiming for. After all, Smart Phones are pretty much the 3DS's only main competition when it comes to handheld devices, if any at all.

With times changing, and more and more people gradually looking to Smart Phones for a gaming experience, just because it's more convenient, Nintendo may need to switch it up a little bit. This is the route I think they will take with the NX if it truly ends up being a handheld.

Yeah, it will really help sales for Nintendo if so.

(YEAH!!! MY 2,000TH POST!!)
 
If they do i hope they have a way for us to decide what villager lives in our towns and where their houses are.
 
As soon as they come up for preorder from Game I am getting them, I don't care if that is roughly ?60 (maybe more if they produce more) these are Amiibo that I NEED! Though I am hoping that if they are not related to AC Wii U they'll come out around August since I could just ask for the money for them for my birthday ;)
But I could see Tom Nook or Isabelle being released in a bundle with AC Wii U or maybe we'll get another Villager Amiibo in the NL character style that could be bundled with the game? Though then we'd have to wait until like Spring 2016 for all the Amiibo :P
