AC Wii to go MMO!

[Jeremy]

Ya, you guys (UB, Fabio, and JJ I think) are confused about what an MMO is. It means you are playing online with a lot of people. For all we know, this could just mean that you can have 8 people in your town. It's "massive", because the norm was 4. Of course, it probably means more than 8. But guys... this was explained very early in this thread. Apparently some of you only hear things you agree with... even if it's based on a fallacy.

8 players is earth shattering enough for an AC game.

AC =/= MMO

*Agrees with UltraByte*

Plus, no frickin' way Nintendo's *CEN-2.1-SORD* online system would support this to the full extent. Even if it was an MMO, it would seriously suck.

I'd really like to know how you know it will suck. I don't even think you know the proper definition of an MMO. It simply means a lot of people playing online at once. I don't know how you get "It would suck" out of that right away. And i'm sure Nintendo will find around the friend codes for such a game if the do make it into an MMO.


"MMOs are usually RPG based, with leveling up, clans, and a bunch of stuff like that."

I believe you mean MMORPG's. MMO's are different.

But MMORPGs are usually twenty times more fun. Talking to people in a online game or leveling up in an online game... I'd rather be leveling up.

I agree, mmorpg's are great fun, but i still find mmo's good fun too, and I see it as a step forward rather than back for the animal crossing series if this proves true.

Also, something I forgot to mention... AC is geared towards kids (because of the cute animals and funny graphics and stuff), so half the people you'll talk to will be completely not understandable. Also, in every MMO (even RPGs, though not so much), there's the whole "ZOMG UR CHARACTER IS SO HOT ARE YOU TAKEN?!?!?!??!" thing, which is quite annoying when you're trying to do a simple task or anything.

From the older adult gamers I know on the net, AC is one of the most played games. I could probably find more young Halo players than AC players. Kids don't care. It seems like you're just trying to make excuses...

I'm not trying to make excuses, what makes you think that I am?

Even if kids don't get into the whole MMO's they could easily just play the game without the whole MMO part like the original animal crossing. And I agree with Storm, there are TONS of teen to adult animal crossing gamers out there and i would have little doubts the MMO part would not fail because of the "kiddy" style of the game.

Well after you found out what exactly an MMO is, you said that it would ruin the game anyway ("Also, in every MMO (even RPGs, though not so much), there's the whole "ZOMG UR CHARACTER IS SO HOT ARE YOU TAKEN?!?!?!??!" thing, which is quite annoying when you're trying to do a simple task or anything."). Even though... you wouldn't be forced to play online. But maybe you still don't know exactly what it is. Let's say a game like World of Warcraft... you go around an online world. Now what about an online shooter? Do you go around an online world? No, but it can still be an MMO.

Meh, I don't really like online in games (letalone MMO) and if adding this means a slipshod singleplayer experience than it's bad news. I know for a fact other people like me don't care about online and I don't really understand how people can like an entire game of it, but, then again some people think fat people are hot and I don't understand that either.

The very fact of the matter is that MMO usually suggests an MMORPG for people who dont want to write or read 6 inane letters and then have to google it afterwords.

xDDDDDD Nobody's going to know what you're talking about.

When has Nintendo ever focused on the online play more than the offline play?

Why? Because you said so? They focused too much on the online play for a game that doesn't exist yet?

I know what an MMO is. >_> All I'm saying is AC Wii online will blow, just as the DS version did.

Halo is the DEFINITION of annoying online multiplayer with all the freaking idiots cussing you out.

What makes its online better than AC's? And don't judge a game by its graphics; Zack and Wiki, for example, has kiddy graphics, but the game is NOT FOR KIDS.

Oh sure, cause we know Wii = DS.

So... who said it will have a slipshod singleplayer mode? I agree with you where you say you don't like online games; I don't either. I prefer a fleshed out singleplayer experience.

But look at SSBB. Singleplayer and multiplayer are equally balanced.

And you know everything right? As Bul said Wii =/= DS and there is no way to know if it will suck, the ONLY thing we know right now is that there's a rumor that Animal Crossing will become an MMO.
