Any ideas for the next Animal Crossing?

[LaFleur]

I think we should be able to visit dream towns via dream suite with friends that come over on Wifi as an activity to do together
exploring towns together
just like how you can play minigames together etc.

How come when someone things of a different way of customizing your character, the Sims is always brought up? Is Sims the only game that is allowed to have character customization now? Has EA bought the rights to customizing characters? No? Alright then.

But seriously these ideas are great. I love these threads, always so creative

I want more villager interactions, plus...an option to turn off the tutorials...because I'm sick and tired of the villagers telling you stuff that you've already know, especially if you've been playing this game for a long time.
Maybe an Apartment for villagers to live?

 

[PSIMaster]

I'd really want alternate palette options for PWPs to unify each PWP in a town more and / or provide more colour variety.

-There should be "Game Week". In gamecube they had sports week (i think) but this isn't completely sporty. Games such as musical chairs or something that can also be played during wifi.

-I was reading something on another forum online and they were talking about the length of the day and the seasons and sunset/sunrises, and they were talking about making the days longer or shorter depending on the time of the year. It doesn't have to be a HUGE differnece like in summer the sun sets at around 9:00pm and rises at 5:30am and in the Winter the sun sets at 4:00pm and rises at 8:00am, but maybe like an hour difference.

-Maybe an arcade in Main Street... or restraunt? I think maybe Main Street should expand just a little more since when you play acnl for a while it seems really small.

-When making a town tune you have more options. It'll show you a piece of sheet music and you can add things like flats and sharps and a time signature, etc. And you can find tunes on the internet and put it as your town tune (like qr codes but with the town tune)

-Lunar eclipse, solar eclipse, comets, and being able to see satellties (yes irl you can see satellites during the night sky.) We have meteor showers, and aurora borealis, why not add these? And you can use the telescope in your house and have a journal to record things. Also bring back the observatory. I like the museum shop but I also like the observatory.

-Bring back red turnips. You can make a turnip farm and villagers can buy them from you.

-The main screen has more options. There is a "Game settings" and has things such as "Grass Wear: ON/OFF Random House Placement: ON/OFF" etc. And and "unlock/upgrade" option so you can upgrade or unlock things like village conversations etc.

-Power goes out during servere weather. Also have earthquakes (not servere like 9.5 but small like 4.0)

-Villagers visiting your museum exhibits (in the museum shop)

-Since there's an option to type in various Europian/Spanish countries (ex: russian or spanish or latin) we should have the option to type in various Asian (specifically east asian since you find a lot of Japanese and Korean players in the international island) languages.

-Things look more realistic. Trees and buildings bigger, etc. I feel so giant... also all trees are different sizes. I hate how all trees are exactly the same size. Cedar trees should especially be tall.

-Erosion, through out the year the beach gets bigger and smaller.

Ok enough editing even though I still have a lot more ideas.

Just like to add/take away.

Now that I think about it, the power outage seems weird but I still want earthquakes because the day after the earthquake, there are more cracks in the ground then usual and some of them are rare ores or something. I want them to add things to the weather, not big things but small things to make the game seem more alive. Like every once in a while you see the leaves on trees moving from the wind and you see water dripping off things while its raining/after its raining., etc.

I also wish it continues with the DS, I don't have a Wii U, and I know I'd buy one if it came out on Wii U, but I'd rather not. I also want to take it with me everywhere. (hello, long car trips)

I really adore being mayor, I wonder how that might transfer over?

I love the restaurant idea! Maybe villagers can ping you and ask to take them there? I wish eating food had more meaning. Like maybe you'd run faster the higher your food level was?

 

[PsychoAgateophobia]

I think the whole natural disasters and stuff is getting a little too out of hand.

Like, tree height, what the clouds look like, natural disasters, etc. Idk that all seems superfluous. Like, I want things that will make the game more fun. I literally could not care less if the trees look like real trees with individual leaves and all that. I feel like this is too realistic. I don't want to have to worry about whether or not a tornado's gonna hit my town. Wtf this isn't the Wizard of Oz. Wtf would you even do during a tornado??? Die?? In HM games when there is a tornado or hurricane or anything, you are forced to stay in your house and you just go to sleep and go to the next day. Also a tsumami and earthquakes would have far more negative impacts than positive. House damage, flooding, etc. Tsunamis aren't just on the beach. I think what you're wanting is maybe a tide or a tidal wave. Something smaller that isn't deadly, probably. Like, I don't want an earthquake. It'd be like "Yay, new rare ore--- Oh, but three villagers are injured, my house is in a hole, and there's this ugly gash in the middle of my town that I can't walk across". What, there's an earthquake, and then you go to Tom Nook for home repairs? Do we also buy flood insurance? Do I need health coverage, too?

Idk, y'all are getting too realistic here. I just want path PWP, more places to visit, more hair and faces, ability to change face/hair/name/town name, etc, and skin tones. Bigger towns, more dialogue, more species/villagers (and removal of some villagers). Things that will actually enhance the game's experience.

You have to think, what will some of these things add to the game's experience? Idk about you but special clouds don't get me excited.

 

[OmgACNL]

Maybe more detailed things like designing your own shoes and pants would be good and maybe even make your own songs! I also preferred it when random objects were in the balloons also, a much larger town/more villagers would be nice and maybe more places to go too
And for god's sake, to be able to pick where villagers move plz!!!
...and being able to have more than 3 friends over and a record of the conversation like it does on BFF. I always miss what someone has said

 

[xxxmadison]

Honestly I'd rather there not be another game because I feel like people will abandon this one. I don't want to have to buy another console, I like using my DS.
But I think we should get dlc updates to ACNL. Beach pwps, fruit bushes (strawberries!), picking where villagers move, and eyebrows. Eyebrows please. xD

 

[The Hidden Owl]

A boardwalk. Maybe also more map options when you start the game, store expansions (e.x. able sisters, kicks, etc.) caves, more octopi, and have the villager more intractable (e.x. you can ask if they want to come over, play hide and seek, etc.) and a more interactable island which shops and a bigger outdoor area.

 

[OmgACNL]

What if you could wear a bag/backpack?? More inventory space??

You are a genius.

AND MORE MONEY SPACE

 

[FriendlyVillager]

i really hope it's for the 3ds successor. i can't buy an wii u

 

[tamagotchi]

Rotate PWPs/Houses, whatever.
Actually be a mayor and plan where houses are and not have some dog furry tell you that It's too close to a rock.

tbh that's all i really have

I don't really understand why you want it for a 3ds sucessor if you can't buy a wii u. You'll be spending the same amount on the new 3ds as you would on a refurbished wii u?

Anyways!! I just hope the focus is on the dialogue. Knowing how everyone is gonna lose their minds over the graphics if it is on the wii u , I hope nintendo doesn't bank on that as a sole selling point.

I also have a few theories. The Animals crossing creator was in the same area as e3 at the time it was going on this year. Doesn't it seem like a hassle for a japanese person to travel to america on a business trip, but not actually do any business? I think they were going to tease animal crossing in the treehouse section, But then Time magazine leaked info on the new starfox game. I think it's possible nintendo cut the animal crossing announcement because if you announce too much at once you'll have several fanbases nagging you to complete each game quicker.

Given that starfox is a Wii U title, it leads me to believe the next game WILL be on the wii u, and will be announced next June, after the animal crossing dlc for mariokart is released in may. This will cause hype for the game. However its also possible it could be announced when Animal crossing plaza ends ( a free animal crossing app for the wii u) -around the end of 2014, and then RELEASED around may or june. This is all rambling and speculation, But I think the game is on the way soon. Nintendo is giving animal crossing too much attention to have no plans for it in the near future.

5 things i would like to see are 1. more control where a house goes. 2. 12 villegers per town too many good ones and 12 means 2 extra so seems ok to me. 3. The abilty to make Events just for my town. 4. i want back villegers buying stuff in your house each month i liked it and i want it back. 5. Make it so we can put our house on Beach that would be cool.

 

[Hipster]

New animals

go out and eat with animals or even just at their house

more opportunitys to earn bells (like part-time jobs in game)

SLEEPOVERS at animal houses

being able to wake up when you start the game in your personal bed lol like wild world except better

 

[thatawkwardkid]

More furnitures go into use/more animated (personally, I pick the second one).

Example:
Vaccume(s) make a noise a vibrate when you touch it
Coffee maker makes coffee "" ""
Humidifier turns on and off "" ""

 

[Cookiex]

Split screen if its on the wii u. 1 player uses the gamepad and the other playing plays on the tv.

Um sorry to break it to you, but you can die in ACNL.
