Do you think that Nintendo will eventually make an Animal Crossing U?

[Hazzaly]

Well, still saying that wii games aren't hardcore there was wii sports, wii fit, wii music and wii party.
If Chibi robo counts then thats 2005?
You also have the smaller casual games like Rhythm Heaven, Brain age, Big Brain, Nintendogs. And I'm sure i remember them developing some smaller puzzle like games for wii ware.

But yeah I still agree they need a new franchise, I'm sure they promised that Miyamoto was working on one rather than the main franchises... god let us hope that it's not nintendoland

 

[Prof Gallows]

I'm not counting any of the Wii games as an original game.(Sports, Music, Fit, etc).

If Miyamoto is working on a completely new, original game that falls along the lines of Mario, Zelda, etc then I'll be more than happy to support it. But the Nintendoland stuff is just another sad excuse at trying to be original.

 

[jvgsjeff]

I'm sure Animal Crossing U will come eventually. I just hope that they have a different team working on it, so we don't have to wait another 4 years for it.

But you never know, what if the reason the 3DS version is taking so long is because they're including connectivity with a Wii U game that's on the way? It's possible.

 

[Prof Gallows]

If there is one thing I would NOT want in AC3DS, it's connectivity with the Wii U.

also, if they changed the team, AC would be completely different.

Wii Music is just an instrument simulator that someone at Nintendo EAD thought of in 5 mins flat. Wii Fit is a fitness game was nintendos way of apologizing for making a whole generation fat and lazy with the NES haha. Wii sports is like I said, a sports game collection, nothing new. Wii Party is a blatant copy of Mario Party which dates back to the N64 in 1998.

As for Brainage and Big Brain both are more or less just a video game IQ test both came out in 2005 and were developed by Nintendo SPD and Nintendo EAD respectively.

Nintendogs is Nintendos spin of the "Petz" series dating back to 1995

As for rhythm heaven that's for another post as it's long and semi confusing gimme a moment.

Chibi Robo (June 23, 2005) was developed by Skip Ltd. with collaboration from Nintendo, so take that for what you will. As for me I wouldn't count it.

So for the last true original and unique nintendo developed and published game still remains as far as I know to be, Pikmin!(2001)

RE: Rhythm heaven

Okay, so rhythm heaven was first released on July 31, 2008. It was developed by Nintendo SPD Group No.1 & TNX Doesn't seem too bad huh? only 4 years ago. Well Rhythm actually has a little brother that was never let to roam outside of Japan. His name was,

"Rhythm Tengoku" he was released August 3, 2006 for the GBA and developed by Nintendo SPD Group No.1 & J.P.ROOM
So now it appears that Nintendos LAST original and unique game was released SIX years ago?! Well....no. It gets worse.

Ever hear of a game called "Elite beat agents"? Well it came out in November 6, 2006. Wait Garrett...you're not making any sense.
"Rhythm Tengoku" was released August 3, 2006 making it older than Elite beat agents! That's true. BUT! Just like Rhythm heaven "Elite Beat Agents" also has a little brother that never was able to leave Japan. HIS name was, "Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan" ......(yes his parents hated him.)...... He was released July 28, 2005. About 359 days older. Now you might be saying well It's possible that Nintendo didn't even know about "Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan" existence, it wasn't extremely popular that is and 1< year isn't a long time in game development! Well this COULD have been a valid argument if it weren't for "Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan" and "Elite Beat Agents" both being published by Nintendo.

They're new. but yeah. XD

Imagine when AC3DS comes out and TBT has like 50 new users who have no idea how to read the rules.

 

[Winona]

I am very happy because Animal Crossing 3D isn't even released yet. Nintendo won't make a new AC until the older version isn't bought anymore and passes out of the minds of their customers.

So I guess that there won't be another AC for the next three years at least.
This also means that the day we actually get another one, the price of the Wii U will have decreased a lot and I will finally be able to afford one (which is, unfortunetely, a must-do for me if there is going to be a new AC for this console).

I highly doubt that. The only reason for waiting so long before releasing Animal Crossing 3D is that it was too early. Animal Crossing: City Folk isn't THAT old yet and there are a couple of promising games released in the last and next few months.
Additionally, there will obviously not be a wi-fi-connection to a possible Wii U-version, since an AC for the Wii U isn't even planned for now- while AC:3D is a finished game waiting for translation and last fixes.

Plus, the long time they work on the game does NOT depend on the team, but on Nintendo's decisions. They have no reason for completing a game earlier than they do. The releasing is thought out well. There is a system behind all of it- releasing one and then another, covering all target groups and keep them waiting long enough to make them really HOT for a new game.

Yeah, announcing AC3DS early was really exciting, but they really kept us waiting. Thank GOODNESS they at least have a release for Japan, now we can have better rough guesses.
ACCF is 4 years old though, thats pretty old. Plus its even nearing 2013.
I hope there wont be wifi on Wii U. Well I do, but with the U's huge tech specs, I don't think it can survive 30 minutes without overheating.
These are just my first looks though, I dont want to cause "OH, your answers are wrong!" and stuff.

Spamming comes to mind, maybe bad trolling? XD

AC3DS will DEFINITELY be crowded, I don't plan playing on wifi because it ruins the fun when people give you items.

Why on earth would you hope for no wi-fi!? I'm sure there are some PCs on todays market that have much higher specs than the WiiU and can still play online games. EDIT I read your 2nd post. Then don't accept gifts?

ACCF isn't that old yet? It's been 4 years. Prior to this, AC games were released 3 years apart, by U.S. release dates at least (the GameCube game in 2002, Wild World in 2005, ACCF in 2008). If anything, AC 3DS is overdue.

And how would you know a Wii U game isn't planned yet? Just because they haven't announced it doesn't mean they're not planning one. And connectivity doesn't necessarily mean Wi-Fi connectivity. It could include importing your 3DS character or special items/events when the two systems are linked. Nintendo loves to do that sort of thing.

 

[Justin]

Of course there will be! City Folk was a fantastic seller on the Wii and is considered an "evergreen" title by them. Not to mention it's been on the Nintendo Selects line for a while too.

Fifty new users? Try like two hundred, haha.

How about towns? That's what we all said back in the day, I really don't remember saying gates even though there were gates in Wild World.

I meant that there are still some people playing the Wii-version. Also, a year and a half ago, they still brought advertise for the game on TV. Plus, there are still DLCs available for the game. All this means that Nintendo still makes good money with AC:CF. There is no reason to bring a new Animal Crossing, at least not a year ago. So it makes perfect sense for Nintendo to release AC:3D in the next few months.
What I'm trying to say is that the release date has absolutely nothing to do with a bad team. It's all planned, and I rather want to wait for a good game than get another boring copy of the older versions, only with a sad 3D-effect added to it.

And of course a game can be in development before it is officially announced. But it makes no sense to start a new game if the previous version isn't even released, not only because the AC-team has enough work with AC:3D. If they're already working on a Wii U-title, then they've only started with a concept, which means, that there is no way for them to be able to put a Wii U-connectivity in the 3DS-version. (And at least I mean meeting people online.) Still, I think that they concentrate on AC:3D first.

Yeah. "Come to my town, can I come to your town" sounds a lot better than gates.
