Animal Crossing: New Horizons @ E3 2019 General Discussion

[Pellie]

Nintendo better say something about it or they can prepare their butts for a giant riot. Lot of fans
already said online that they gonna let out their anger if nothing happens today again. They are
right now living time bombs.

More than 2 hours away. I pray to Iwata that they gonna say something.

Actually, it was only two generations that have come and gone. XY(gen 6) and SunMoon(gen 7).

I'd like it if all those fans would stop and remember that this is just a video game that a big corporation is wanting to sell them.

Animal Crossing, while it started out as series that got a game every three years or so, quickly stagnated with City Folk and Nintendo realized this. New Leaf tried something new with the formula, but it took time to rethink the gameplay and freshen it up. It worked wonders for them, so future releases are definitely spaced farther and farther apart now because they know they can't just pull a Game Freak and release a new game with minimal updates. We'll be looking at another good 6 to 7 years before the next game as well.

Premature reactions and declarations are highly immature, and threatening to riot? Seriously? I'm thinking the fanbase is either very young or most had started with New Leaf and thus have no idea how game development works. Things take time.

And to boot, Nintendo didn't actually announce THE Animal Crossing game in September, but the fact they - A - game in the series was in development.

For comparisons sake, we know a big new mainline Zelda is in development, they have told us as much. They didn't make a spectacle about it like they did with Animal Crossing though.

Two hours to go...and I'm having a really hard time staying positive, lol.

I'm watching random episodes of South Park in the meantime... ^^

You can never change the fans and the way they act, as sad as it is. Just look at those asking for Mother 3 for like years and now start to even asking Doug Bowser about the game all the time after they did the same with Reggie.

Besides, those 9 months has left its traces, AC fans are like the Smash fans back then who kinda had the
same behavior. The fans will stop when they get what they want, as stupid as this might sound.

I can only imagine what it must feel like right now for the social media guys at Nintendo. They are going to be dealing with a lot of nonsense in the next two and half hours, all the whole the big wigs are rubbing elbows with the media in LA.

 

[carackobama]

I’m so nervous right now HECK

 

[Bcat]

what are the odds they fake us out again and slip it in at the very end?

 

[Blue Cup]

You can't really put anything past Nintendo. They are the kings of the left field and love to play tricks on people.

The other companies already had to deal with nonsense as there were AC fans asking in the chat from the other presentations at the E3 of where Animal Crossing is (of course they were trolling, however, some people thought they are serious and there was kinda drama).

 

[Auroralights3]

Lowkey now I kinda just want nintendo not to mention animal crossing at all, just to see how big the reaction is in the community, but then again i'd probably be one of the people freaking out because ive been prepping since 8am just for this direct

I like the way you think.

"We'll make AC fans interested in other games, whether they like it or not!"
Or am I the only one mainly watching the Directs for games like AC and Pok?mon, and getting really interested in other games they present? Because I always get the feeling a lot of the fandom plays AC exclusively, which is part of why people get so rabid about the possibility of Direct announcements. Not like I haven't always been at least bummed out after every Direct with no mention of AC Switch, though.

What if it's not even in the direct at all, only to show it in the Treehouse literally minutes after the direct have ended. That would be so mean. They did it with Metroid: Samus Returns.

This was the first e3 ive ever watched but I found myself getting interested in games even though I havent necessarily played them all. Games that were shown like Spiritfarer looked really good and I found myself excited. Honestly, ill be disappointed if there is no AC2019 announced, but if they show an interesting game, I wont be 100% disappointed

 

[Amilee]

I'm watching the Direct for everything it has to offer. Animal Crossing just happens to be my main focus this year considering it hasn't officially been announced yet.

I expect a new 2D Metroid as well for some reason.
