Mother 3 and Animal Crossing

Apparently the NoA president Reggie is aware that we poor unfortunate souls are wanting a Mother 3 english release and a brand new Animal Crossing.

Knowing this makes me feel glad knowing that Nintendo is listening to us Earthbound, Animal Crossing, and to an extent all Nintendo Fans.

But anyways what do y'all feel about this? Think this might increase the likelihood of new games for AC and Earthbound?

Cool, gives me two years to save for a switch.

Doesn't really mean anything. It's a typical PR response and Reggie/Nintendo have been saying that for years in regards to Mother 3.

I really want an Animal Crossing game for the Switch! I don’t have a Switch and definitely do not plan on purchasing one anytime soon. However, I would immediately go buy Animal Crossing and a Switch the day Nintendo decides to release a new Animal Crossing.

At least they have acknowledged the fact that we've been waiting. They seem to be listening a lot more to fans recently, but unfortunately that doesn't correlate to them acting upon our wishes. AC switch could come anywhere between this year or in another 6 years time, there's just nothing guaranteeing that we're going to get something anytime soon.

Basically sounds like PR talk for "We've heard your complaints, now shut up". I've wanted Mother 3 to be localized for years, but I'll believe it when I see it. As for Animal Crossing, it's pretty much inevitable and Nintendo would be stupid to not make a new Animal Crossing game for the Switch.

Damnit Reggie!

 

[uwuzumakii]

Listening and doing are two entirely different things. They're just saying this to shut people up.

Reggie doesn't drop scoops these days. He just drops lame PR responses

 

[visibleghost]

of course theyre aware of their fans lol, the question is if theyre going to actually do anything

place bets on which happens first: earthbound trilogy or animal crossing switch

In that case, AC Switch since Earthbound is discontinued, as in they have no intention whatsoever of making another one. I have a feeling they may have another time to say that it’s officially discontinued as well.


As for AC Switch? Who knows how long that will take to come out.

 

[Corrie]

I'm not too concerned. I know there will be an AC game eventually so there's no point in getting my panties in a twiat over it not being shown yet.

As for Mother 3... when hell freezes over.

Like Jake said, they have been saying that in regards to Mother 3 for years. They're empty words just meant to assuage the discontent from the fans. Honestly, while it would be nice to see Mother 3 officially given a worldwide release, I kind of dread the localization changes that might take place to make it more palatable for the US market. I feel like it would lose some of the charm that makes the game what it is. Maybe if they got Marcus Lindblom, the guy who was in charge of EarthBound's localization, I'd feel a bit safer with that. He left Nintendo in 1996 but recently worked on Star Fox 2's localization for its release on the NES Classic Edition, so who knows.

As for the next main series Animal Crossing installment, that's not something to worry about. It will come in time, unless there's some national or worldwide disaster and in that case it would be among the least of our worries. Not really worth stressing over until they actually announce or show something about it so we know what the game's like and when it would be expected to release.

Overall, as others have said, just PR talk.

It sounds like they want fans to be satisfied with the mobile AC.

I don't expect AC Switch anytime soon.

That's what I got from it as well. Maybe Pocket Camp and loot boxes is the new direction for Animal Crossing.

These two games are ones I really want to see on the Switch and they are why I haven't bought one yet and why I bought a PS4 instead last summer. Of course, I really want Sin and Punishment on the Nintendo Switch as well...

Add Sin and Punishment 3 in the mix there as well.
