amiibo Festival Anyone else annoyed?

[Shadow Star]

Nintendo has said today that Nintendo NX will be along the theme of transforming. And they have also said its alongside the Wii U and the 3ds. So what I am saying is just my personal opinion.

Do you think if they say it's alongside the Wii U and 3DS, they may make it backwards compatible with both consoles? Like how the DS in the old days where it had a slot for the DS carts and the GBA carts? That would be quite cool actually.... Should they release AC onto the NX, it would make it easier to switch between New Leaf and that, so no hype or love for New Leaf would be lost.... Seriously, Nintendo could do good things if they did that. I'd assume with the 3DS games, they'd either implement a feature to allow it to play in 3D or they'd make it like the 2DS and take the 3D out.

It'd make sense if they were to make it backwards compatible otherwise the games and amiibo's coming out this year would only be considered a short life span and with recent games like Splatoon and the delayed Zelda U, it'd be a waste for them to have a short life.

I don't know, maybe I'm just thinking of things that they can't accomplish yet with their programming, but it'd be a cool feature and would make games like these a little more bearable for the time being.

I am very disappointed. But I will still be getting it

That's exactly what I thought!!! I hope they do that, it would be amazing.

I'm pissed off to be honest, but it's not like this is the end of my hope. It doesn't have to be announced at E3 to get made.

Though 3 AC games the span of 2 years seems unrealistic, so it may be a bit. It's pretty annoying.

 

[Azza]

Atleast this game gives ua a look at what the Wii U AC will look like by the looks of the town.

 

[L. Lawliet]

guys, nintendo dropped the ball on this. what could have been was a great AC or even a Nintendo crossover party game. but the amiibo being required is ridiculous

 

[Carole]

Amiibo Party does not appeal to me at all. My plan is to just keep playing ACNL until Nintendo creates a game that is just as good as ACNL or better. For me, Amiibo Party isn't it.

ACNL was announce at the 2010 e3. So, it may be a while before such a game is released, if ever.

but we know for sure that NX is a home/portable console so that's pretty cool.

Do you work for Nintendo? It's just that you seem to know a hell of a lot about the NX whilst the rest of us are only really able to speculate with the information we have available.



Do I think it's a portable home console? Yea, I do, but I've not seen any hard evidence of it.

Hahah no, I wish!
I have a very good memory and I remember random facts about things I'm interested in, like hamsters, Nintendo ect.
I just used all the facts that I have heard and remembered and try to guess what's going to happen. Like when Nintendo originally announced they are working on NX and partnering with DeNA they had a board with Wii U, 3DS and laptop and stuff and NX was alongside Wii U and 3DS. And that Nintendo announced today that they are doing a Transforming theme and the NX will be along with that theme. I just guessed that transformative means a mix between Wii U and 3ds/ being able to transforme between a console on the TV to portable. And I'm just hoping that backwards compatibility will be possible.

But I'm pretty sure because what else can transformed mean?

 

[MotaroRIP]

I think the NX is not going to get the AC game specifically. It hasn't missed a console yet.

Yes but I mean, American didn't get the standard 3ds so god knows what's going through nintendos mind. I feel that Nintendo is very wary about what's going to sell. If there is a Wii U AC, it might be like Japan only or something. Like the first AC. I have no idea what Nintendo is going to do now.

-snip-

But those aren't facts.

For all we know, the NX could be a console that turns into robot judging from all their focus on transforming.


I'm not saying it isn't a portable home console, just that there's still the chance it isn't.

The first AC was different. It was already released right near the end of the N64's lifespan in Japan. Take into account the amount of translation and localisation required for it and it made sense that it didn't come to the West until the Gamecube.

The English release was so good that they actually translated it back into Japanese and used it in the re-release, so a lot of time must have gone into it.


It's different if a Animal Crossing U were to be released since it's already a franchise they know sells over here, so English localisations will be thought about during development rather than afterwards.

I don't really know why people were expecting a full game- New leaf came out two years ago, last tuesday. Animal crossing games take years of development- they're just trying to satisfy the masses with spinoffs. It may not be what you want, but a new AC game should come within the next few years.

*cough* Three this November.

If you look at the pattern, it was 2001 for Nintendo 64, 2001 for GameCube, 2003 for GameCube, 2005 for DS, 2008 for Wii, 2012 for 3DS, and no sooner than 2016 for Wii U (should they actually decide to put one on it instead of all these spinoffs).

No, they didn't simply "translate the game" back to Japanese for e+, it has more additions over Animal Crossing (picture taking/saving on an SD card using a special device, Reset Center, medicine, sick animals, etc).

I'm just using these as suggestions.
And yes they are facts because Nintendo has said so. Plus what are the ods of it being a robot.
Plus pretty much everyone has said that everyone thinks it's gonna be a hybrid console since they first announced it. .
Anyway plz don't hurt me I'm only 14. XD.

Or they could release the next AC game on the Wii U and speculation is useless at this point? I don't see why you're determined to go around and rub salt in hopeful Wii U owner's wounds. I think if there's not an announcement by E3 next year then maybe we could be certain there won't be a Wii U AC.

Rub salt? I'm hopefully getting a Wii U soon too. Plus there is always need to speculation because everyone needs something to look forward too, if we don't we start looking back at life and then depression happens, and then we wonder what's the point of life and people get suicidal. So we always need to look forward to something, and gaming happeneds to be our thing to look forward to. So that's my cure for depression, live in the moment and speculate!

wtf r u on about comparing the new 3ds to AC Wii u??????????????????????????????????????? They didn't release the regular new 3ds in NA because NA made the decision that it wouldn't sell well, it was their decision, not Nintendo of Japan.... They still released the regular 3ds in EU and AUS so this is the stupidest argument I've ever read LOL. NoJ will be the ones who will be making AC Wii U, not NoA, and it'll defs 100% come to the west because Nintendo knows they can make big $$$ - providing they make a Wii U title, which I'm pretty sure they will
