Animal Crossing - Wii U next?

[Boccages]

I'd really like one Wii U Animal Crossing game. But if it's not announced this year at E3, I'm expecting Nintendo to skip the Wii U and release one for the NX. Why ? They will never release an Animal Crossing game for the Wii U in the console's last year on the market.

Is the NX even that far along? If it's in its early stages then I think revealing it was a mistake

Everyone's gonna cry extinction for the Wii U and that could hurt its sales if everyone's just waiting for the NX to come out rather than getting Wii Us.

It all depends on how the NX is close to be launched. We will know more about the console in 2016. If it's to be launched in late 2016-early 2017, than the Wii U will be a sitting duck through all of 2016. It's getting late to get an Animal Crossing game for the Wii U.

So this is why this E3 is so damn important. If Nintendo announces nothing related to Animal Crossing on Wii U I do not expect them to produce one for the console. Projects and ressources will be shifting to the NX in 2016 and, I wouldn't be surprised, in late 2015.

Speaking of the NX I've heard many people say it's more like a complimentary console, a separate idea from Wii U. Meaning that it's not meant to replace the Wii U. No one can really say for certain though. Regardless I' love to see a new Animal Crossing for Wii U. ^.^

im still betting that where getting an Animal Crossing for Wii U one way or another, either in a direct or at E3 2015

lets see...
Animal Crossing: announced at E3 2001, launched in 2002 in NA, 2003 and 2004 in PAL regions
Animal Crossing Wild World: announced at E3 2004 launched in 2005 for NA, Aus Japan, 2006 for EU
Animal Crossing City Folk: announced at E3 2008(am i correct?) launched in 2008
Animal Crossing New Leaf: announced at E3 2010 launched in 2012 for japan 2013 for west

so there is a chance for a wii u version, but the question is when will come out, if there is one.

I've heard a lot of people speculate that the NX is going to merge nintendo's console and handheld together (hence the X for cross platform). I think this would be a great idea, especially for animal crossing: being able to play in glorious quality on a big TV at home, and then on holiday, you could bring a reasonably sized handheld (bigger than the 3ds) with slightly downgraded graphics with you, and stream the game to it!

Animal Crossing City Folk was briefly talked about at E3 2005 as Animal Crossing Revolution, announced officially at E3 2006.

It must! It'll give the Wii U a boost! If they announce the NX, I will be baffled. Because it's right.in.front.of.there.face. Zelda and Animal Crossing haven't even come out yet! Yes, it may feel as if oyur dragging something thats dead, but two REALLY good games haven't even come out yet. I bet that the Wii U sales will bump up with the release if Zelda and Animal Crossing. (I bought my 3DS just for Animal Crossing. JUst for Animal crossing0

It could be MANY things. If I was a director of Animal Crossing, I'd go right up to someone and say "Zelda and Animal Crossing haven't came out yet. Can you please be paitent with the Wii U?"

It would suit the Wii U so well!

ah ok i didn't watch E3 2005 or 2006, i heard about the game at E3 2008, but thanks for letting me know when it actually was announced

I'm expecting it to be announced/revealed at this year's E3, and then released Q4 2016 in Japan with a Q2 2017 localization in the west. Happy Home Decorator is not the efforts of a full team. The decorating system of HHD seems like it would come from the development of a main game. So why not? Just use the assets of New Leaf, add a new decorating mechanic, then ship it fast to fund the next AC game even more.

This is total bs. The NX is just a code name, right? The wiiu was called project cafe or something, and there is no link between a cafe and a wiiu so...
