E3: Nintendo's Software Showcase to be 3DS Exclusive

Animal Crossing is coming out, well for Japan at least. It's called Animal Crossing: Jump Out, well that's the Japanese title. Anyways it's coming out in the fall in Japan, as for the US, I don't know.
 
I'm so mad Nintendo didn't at least give us a heads up on how the game is doing at E3 2012, I mean, what about a new trailer or more screenshots? :mad:
 
If Nintendo follow their usual pattern, I would expect the game to be released this fall. As to why it was not announced at e3, it isn't a key franchise area for Nintendo so it isn't as important that they spend time looking at it, over games which will inevitably make more money. However, it is frustrating, but at least for the wait, we know they are making AC3DS as good as it can be.

This does absolutely nothing to explain why it didn't show up on the E3 website (which it did in both 2010 and 2011) and why it is completely and totally absent from the upcoming list of 3DS games.

However, it is frustrating, but at least for the wait, we know they are making AC3DS as good as it can be.

Actually we really don't know that. This delay could be purely for profit reasons.

How can a delay generate profit?

I agree with Envy and to answer your question Rashley, I know it sounds weird but yes, delay can generate profit but its fast profit (which Nintendo really needs!). When we know a game is coming out at a certain point and we haven't been waiting that long, we aren't hyped up about it and will probably get it after its been out a few weeks. With AC, we have been waiting since 2010 and we are all hyped up about it. That basically means we will all be trying to get it the day or week it comes out meaning more games will need to be delivered to the stores faster to accommodate how many people want the game. A recent example of this was with Diablo 3.

I know it sounds weird but that's the gist lol
 
Well I think it's more of big games like Paper Mario & Luigi's mansion stealing profit away from Animal Crossing. You don't want to release all three at the exact same time. I don't know about you guys but I wouldn't buy three games at the same time, that's getting pretty pricey. So instead they'll space the games out in order to allow the demand to spread more evenly and buy all the games when demand is high enough. After some thought I understood it better haha

This too is a great explanation
 
Summer is the best time to play video games for me, not fall and winter. I don't think much of the Wii U's gimmicks but it's the games they spoke about that I really want.

I'm glad to see your guys enthusiasm but you shouldn't be outraged that nothing was said about AC 3DS. The guy in the picture above is katsuya eguchi he is the creator of animal crossing as well as some other titles you might be familiar with. He has also been very busy working on Nintendo Land. I hope you can get an idea why they might have not said anything about AC 3DS and rather announce a new project such as Nintendo Land.

There have been some new trailers and screen shots released in the past months so we know its coming.

And if im not wrong animal crossing 3DS has not been in development for to long. The first trailer was just a tech demo to show it on the 3DS.

All im really saying is for you guys to relax and take it slow. There are other games to play for the time being. (BLASPHEMY!)
 
i'm putting this here because i am not having a go at anyone, or flaming, everyone is just annoying me so i'm gonna try stop them going crayc ray

It will probably come out a few months after it does in Japan. If we all die first, I'm going to be extremely angry.

you'll be dead so you wont be angry FYI

I'm expecting a 2013 release, like early 2013. If not, I'll be having a word with Nintendo.
Here's some more info on AC: Jump Out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlSU7FwAM58

I bet they are getting flooded by angry fans of Animal Crossing. I haven't heard from them on my inquiry, and last time asked, they did respond.

because they have more important enquires probably about broken stuff, they have better things to do than asnwer whining people about a game that isn't released.
The only Nintendo that is actually helpful is Japan - all others are useless.

yes, remember Super Mario 3D land and MK7 - were released around the same time, was so annoying buying like 50 games

WhitneyLeigh23 said:
....... I just want the game now. :blush:

Do you really have to post everywhere "I want the game"





It's just a game, like seriously -.-
 
Not the answer I wanted, Nintendo....I don't care about a game that the console hasn't even been released for, I want the game for the console I already have:

Thanks for contacting us. I can certainly understand your disappointment that Animal Crossing was not talked about further at the recent E3 conference. I?ll be certain to document your feedback and report that you want to see Animal Crossing released for the Nintendo 3DS to the appropriate departments here at Nintendo.* Believe me, we are every bit as excited as you are to learn more about what?s coming.* Eventually, we will pull back the curtain and share all the new and exciting details on our website (www.nintendo.com) but I?m unable to say when we might release more details to the public.

*

I want to make sure that you know that the Animal Crossing franchise is still very important to Nintendo, which is why it is one of the games featured in the upcoming Nintendo Land game for the Wii U (http://e3.nintendo.com/games/#/wiiu/nintendo-land). While I know this wasn?t the answer you were hoping for, I appreciate your enthusiasm for the Animal Crossing series.

Sincerely,
