Animal Crossing on Wii U?

[Marisska]

There have been hints dropped by Nintendo, in addition the AC Plaza for Wii U indicates they have the character design models done so I do believe there will be a new Animal crossing game to drop on the Wii U. I sincerely hope it is sometime next year!

ooh, the villagers in the wii u look good so far! Is the AC plaza some sort of game for the wii u ? I had never heard of it :O

Yes you can`t download the AC plaza anymore, it stopped at the end of Decembre, but if you have it you can still visit it. I saw a few videos on youtube and all the villagers are looking amazing.

I recommend to wait until it is clearly announced, it can take a long time from first announcement until release, see New Leaf. And maybe they release a bundle and special editions.

Hello, I'm a bit of a console newbie but is the Wii U pad thingy portable?

I like that the ACNL game on the DS is 'portable' you can play it in the bed, in the bus, in front of your desk, in the bathroom....ha!

We students in europe we don't really have a TV (more of a laptop generation) :I I would never see myself sit in front of a TV to play a game (esp. not for animal crossing)

but clearly i'm the unpopular opinion ^^;

if the pad thingy is portable it would be great and i would definitvely consider buying the wii u

The Wii U is not portable unfortunately, you need TV. I prefer portable too. But there is no announcement yet, maybe Nintendo decides to release it on portable. We don?t know c:

Edit: The pad or controller is portable and has a little screen, but it`s different with each game.

i am betting my grandma's undergarments (jk)
they will be releasing a portable wii U then they will release the new animal crossing on that...lmao

If Nintendo would really do a console Animal Crossing again, then I think that a lot of players will still play New Leaf for a long time because of the portability and convenience. And of course the console is more expensive. So casual gamers won`t buy it only for one game.

yes i agree....but knowing nintendo...they will make a better console than the 3ds xl...then release more new games on that console...i wasn't done playing the City Folk (haven't even able to shoot down gulliver... >.<
and they released New Leaf....i hope the next animal crossing is much better than the leaf...

I'd prefer if they released it on 3DS only. With college and life... I can't afford a Wii u + a game. I can afford a new 3DS came, not a new console. I'm also more of a handled video game person. I love my xbox 360, but I've owned my 3DS xl for not even a year yet and I've played it way way more.


Oh does anyone have the New 3DS XL? If so what's it like. I'm curious.

yes i agree....pretty expensive consoles...i saw the new 3ds xl....looks awesome..but i'm happy with my 3ds xl...doesn't seem too slow to me lol...they say its much faster...some new fancy stuff for taking pics...but nah...i'll stick to this one lol

Well you already have a 3DS game. It's New Leaf. Let the richer kids with HD TVs and home consoles have their Animal Crossing fun on the Wii U. If you are friendly enough, you might get to see your friends play it

 

[Jamborenium]

^but wouldn't the richer kids be able to afford a 3ds as well
or was that a joke? I'm guessing it was a joke

you know out of all the things when it comes to these games
the main thing I look forward to is seeing all the new villagers
they add to each game c: also here's hoping for 1 or 2 new species as well
like they did with new leaf

also new special Npcs <3​

 

[Manaberry]

It's been hinted that a new Animal Crossing will be revealed at E3 this year, so cross your fingers and hope thats true c:!

 

[Mayor-Hazel]

i will only get the wii u if a new version of animal crossing comes out of it, that is the only reason why i brought the 3ds XL XD

the new 3ds is 100x better than the old one. It looks a lot better, feels a lot better, the c-stick is amazing, the speed is very noticeable and when you play in 3D every game feels different compared to when its in 2d.

I use the 3D a lot now, and it feels so natural and amazing

only downside to the new 3ds xl is that it doesnt have face plates

just because i have my own hd tv and wii u doesn't mean that I'm rich lol...

A wii U cost like ?250-300 pounds..
if I was rich then I'd be far too busy on my yacht to be playing on my wii u

 

[Rasha]

I have the wii and never saw an animal crossing for the wii unit but maybe I just never noticed. But I do have a wii u and I can see some issues if this comes to wii u that would need to be addressed etc. I mean theres a reason the DS's are popular they are hand helds that travel well with you. WII U ...Not so much. Also I dont see families buying multiple WII U's as they would buy multiples of the nintendo ds's. This creates issues in my opinion. Only one person at a time playing animal crossing or what ever game...others having to wait their turns etc when everyone has their own ds's then there is no waiting. Thats just one issue

That comes out in May unless theyve moved the date up.

dammit! I thought it was march, sigh

There's nothing I want more than an AC Wii U game. I really hope there's some news about it soon!

 

[LostNoob]

Its not been announced yet, but its safe to assume that it is happening.
Probably even sooner than later, I recon an announcement this year seems quite likely.

They have the engine running on the Wii U already with AC Plaza (that is normally what takes the longest in games development)
Its been long enough since AC New leaf finished development that the game could already be in late stages of development.
That said, if it does look like AC plaza, I would be a tiny bit disappointed, it just looks like NL with sharper textures, would be cool if it had more detail (like grass moving in the wind and so on)

As for the price of the Wii U, it would be a good idea for Nintendo to do a price cut along with AC Wii U.
It's currently ?200 with Mario Kart which isn't a bad price (only ?30 more than the New 3DS XL right now) so a cut to ?150 with AC bundled would shift a few consoles
