Animal Crossing - Wii U next?

[Ryzon]

I am unsure how I would feel about it coming to the Wii U because it does feel like a game that is perfect for the handheld. What do you guys think the next platform for animal crossing will be on? I haven't got a source for this though it's easy to google, but the next version of Animal Crossing is underway

AC Wii u can be HD and loads more content packed to disk as opposed to small game cartridge

i wasn't a big fan of let's go to the city, but i think on the wii u they would create a new experience, but hopefully one that is similar to new leaf.

as the post above me says, it will have room for a lot more content, which would make the game a lot customisable. even just talking about this is making me kind of excited to think about a new addition to the animal crossing franchise!!

i can?t wait for a wii u release since i started on the gamecube with AC for me it is a console game, i disliked wild world really. and since city folk i am waiting for a new console release, just my own feeling while gaming i like it more to play this game on a console than on an handheld

It will be awesome when animal crossing is on the Wii U.

I agree it's slightly better on a handheld, but I'll be extremely happy to see it on the Wii U.
The three keys things for me is obviously better graphics, to have a much larger town space, and to be able to look 360 degrees

I do agree that AC is better on a handheld than a console, but with the Wii U, they could do a lot of things in-mind baring portability.

I mean, City Folk was...like...forever ago and we basically forgot how meh that game was.

I really like Animal Crossing for the hand held, but I think they have a pretty good pattern going on. A game for the console, a game for the handheld seems pretty good. As long as they improve on the game, I'm happy. I think they've done a fantastic job so far, and New Leaf really took the series to a new level. I'm excited for what new Nintendo has in store regardless of platform.

It's better on hand held but since theres the game pad, it might be okay.
Hopefully the concept is different, being the mayor of multiple towns?

More content like having your villagers come with you to other towns or to the island. More islands other than "The Island".
idk

honestly I really enjoy the handheld versions more because it's easier for me as a college student to just have it in my bookbag and play it between classes. I wasn't really impressed with city folk, mostly because I could never get my brother off of smash brothers or something so I could play.

but it would be interesting to see what would be in a wii u version...

So much could be done with a Wii U one, methinks. Playing as an animal might be a stretch, but I wouldn't leave it out of the question, given the technology factor is likely not an issue...
The real question in doing a Wii U AC is if it'd sell well...I'd imagine it could, but I'm a little worried.

New Leaf sold really well, it could be a boost for the Wii U. I just don't think it will get played as much as the handheld version, having a console game that just requires 15-30 minutes of your time a day seems a bit of a waste. It works best when its on handheld.

I think one of the most important things ACNL has is the ability to play whenever you are, wherever you are. In Wii U this couldn't be possible unless they add the Off-TV feature. You know, being able to play using that giant stuff called "wii u controller". In addition, I would like to see more interactions with my neighbours, or introduce sub-personalities (we have 8 personalities, what about add new ones?). I think it would add more realism when talking with the villagers.

I'm expecting an announcement at this year's E3. Happy Home Designer is a sign of what's to come in terms of decorating your house and it was probably made by a skeleton team with the main team's resources.

 

[LeonCabrio]

Totally agree. I saw the trailer and I realise that some furniture such as the carpets could be placed in specific places rather than being attached to a "fixed carpet". Talking about houses, how about houses with a different shape instead of the "square one"? What do you think?

I think ac for wii u could work really well in conjunction with the gamepad.

Same here.
I would prefer to see a Wii U version due to the fact that there is so much they could add. I want more villager interaction and more town decoration. The gamepad can be used for the town map that we have on the 3DS. They can just call it New Leaf 2. Also they need to make town names up to 15 characters or so. I would not mind an enhanced 3DS but it would take the enjoyment out of New Leaf

I think 'expecting' an announcement this year at E3 is wishful thinking, I believe the main producer of the Animal Crossing franchise has been working on Splatoon for a while, so I don't think they will have much to show in regards to this franchise yet.

All I hope is that it has new music. I absolutely loved City Folk/Let's go to the City, but I didn't like so much how its music was mostly taken from Wild World. I'm willing to give it a pass because it did make the quality of the music better, but I think ACNL's sound quality is good enough that an HD remake of the soundtrack isn't necessary.

Also, it wouldn't be a console AC game without a cliff dividing the town horizontally!

Different house/room shapes would be really cool actually

I think it would be a good and wise choice to put a new AC game on the Wii U. That why there will be a lot more room for improvements and add new features etc. I plan on buying a Wii U very soon.
