New Animal Crossing News Coming NEXT YEAR!

I think that if this game comes out for the wiiU I'll buy it because the wii U will be pretty 'old' by then. I'm really just hoping for a whole new console.. Will probably play anyway though.
Also I think it will be awesome :D

Guys, maybe it won't be a new game yet, but a big update to acnl so that button wasn't useless this whole time!

No? Okay...

Whatever route Nintendo ends up taking, I hope character customization will be improved even further.
We can pick some pretty wacky anime hair colors, so why not wacky anime eye colors as well?

Also, being able to pick a skin tone would be great. If Nintendo wanted to go even further, they could even give us skin colors in different undertones which would affect our ability to tan. For example, someone that's ghost white with pink undertones won't tan at all, whereas a pale olive would tan easily. They'd both be pale, but they'd still look different if placed next to each other.

I know that might be a little too complex for Animal Crossing, but it would be a nice touch.
 
I'm excited because my mom will finally be able to play again! She can't see the little screen on the 3DS, so I am excited that she'll be able to play on a big screen again! ^_^

I hope that, if they bring back the whole "mayor" thing again, they will make it more of a "town council" so that other people who are in my household can take part in the town planning activities! Having one Mayor for a handheld like the 3DS is fine...but a console like the Wii U is something you share with others!

I would also love to be able to send mail to other towns without having to actually be in the town itself. Maybe only with people you have already visited and gotten a mail pass from? =P
 
This is complete speculation and almost certainly not true, but it would be super funny and kind of awesome if the Villager Plaza thing was all just a ruse to gather data on what fans think each of the villagers' more complex personalities are. XD So every time you post something about Kiki being a bit of a flake, or Pietro being slightly unsettling, it gets gathered as a possible way to make the Wii U personality more complex. lol

Like I said though, not a chance this is true. **furitively goes to post about how amazing and prince-like Beardo is** >_> <_<
 
I would love it if the ported the system to the wii u! We'll just have to wait and see though...
 
I think it's going to be a long time till we get another installment in the AC series, but I seriously hope it won't be on the Wii-U or any other console requiring a TV. AC is way better suited for handhelds; it's just easier to pop in for a few minutes by bringing my 3DS out of my purse wherever, rather than having to be at home and at the TV.

More in-depth customization would be so awesome though... I want my character to be tan all the time. :[ And it'd be nice to have some characters that were taken out brought back in. And Nook should move from real estate to construction to work with our mayors (or whatever we'll be) to actually properly plot villager houses.
 
I have the WiiU and would love a game for it. I wasn't a massive fan, and actually it was a gift my parents got me for my birthday (and yes I'm 25) and I've ended up loving it! I only play fun games like MarioKart8 and Lego TT games, and I think they're beautiful! So I'm very excited to see what they would do with an AC game on it.
I won't be disappointed if it's for the 3DS. But I would be really excited to see what they could do with the size of memory etc :)
 
Honestly, what I'd love is something like MySims where there are different environments for you to explore besides the main village. Also, Miiverse capabilities to replace streetpass would be wonderful.

And, about graphics, let's hope they can make this game as beautiful as they made Pikmin 3 or the new Zelda game.

You know, I actually wouldn't mind if it's just an enhanced version of New Leaf, like City Folk. If anything I loved New Leaf and I would definitely buy an HD version with more features.

Except we know that's not gonna happen. I highly recommend reading this article.

And for those of you who think we will have to wait ages for a new Animal Crossing, remember that New Leaf was announced before the 3DS was even launched. By almost a year, actually. They are probably waiting to announce this game so people won't have to wait for too long. I think we'll probably get a wait time of a year or so.

I agree with everything Pokemanz has said earlier about what to expect in the Wii U installment. Where the Wii version suffered was the lack of the second screen. Luckily for the Wii U version, it won't be at such a handicap. I feel like the GamePad is perfect for this game.

Here is what I want to see:
*Villagers are more unique: They have new traits, interests, desires, likes and dislikes.
*More in-depth PWP/Town Hall functions: Arrange town hall meetings with villagers to help decide future PWP and plan your own events! Hear what villagers have to say about how the town can improve and what should be done more (ie set ordiances, plant more trees, suggest villagers do voluteer work, etc.)
*Friendship meter: The more you communicate with your villagers the more their meter increases and decreases their likelihood to move out of refuse to do volunteer work.
*Take to the air: In past games, you arrived to your village by train, taxi, bus and trolley. Now you will arrive in a hot air balloon! You can also travel to other villages this way!
*Vegetation: Before, you only planted fruit trees, but now you can put your gardening skills to the test with new vegetables you can harvest and sell. Carrots, Lettuce, Cucumber, Potatoes, Squash, Tomato, and more!
Volunteer Work: At your town hall meetings, you can ask villagers to do various tasks, with a proper incentive attached if need be. Tasks include tending to vegetation and fruit trees, pulling weeds, doing errands for other villagers, form a welcoming committee, form a singing group and carrol around town, be an instructor for different events like exercise day, dig up and collect fossils, etc. Basically make your villagers feel more involved.
Villagers actually do more on their own: Fish, catch bugs, swim, jog, group conversations, enter/exit buildings, etc. Plus you can enable a round the clock scrolled that tells you what is going on in town, what villagers are doing, what villager is looking for you etc. Almost like a notification system.
Big world: Think Zelda Wii U sized villages but with the usual animal crossing patterns. Sprawing fields, tons of trees, nearly twice as many villagers as the GC version, and a big beach!
Islands: You can own idividual islands and build your own house or permit villagers and shops to move there! Tortimer Island returns as well as the debut of some of his offspring.
360 degrees: No more top down view. Your village will be fully rotatable and viewable at all angles!
Import: By connectIng with the 3DS game, you can import your human villagers, animal villagers, furniture, clothes, designs and almost anything else.

If none of the above happens, then they should at least bring Champ back. :p

I think the mayoral aspect was such a genius concept before that I can see it be more expansive in the Wii U. They are really promoting Isabelle as a prominent part of Animal Crossing means she's here to stay. Its also odd that the AC DLC Pack for Mario Kart 8 is being released in May. It seems rather late, unless that was done on purpose to tie in with the Wii U game announcement.

Please forgive me for My writing. Im typing this on a smart phone so it's more difficult.

EDIT: I made similar suggestions many moons ago so now. I feel like a broken record. :/

Either you're underestimating the size of Zelda U or...I dunno...It's supposed to be as big/bigger than Skyrim, and I really don't want to go around watering all those flowers...



I wouldn't mind more of the 'mayoral' aspect. It suits the game best really and I think going backwards after it would feel really underwhelming.

I also would like Isabelle to be more than just the receptionist if you so wish.
- Have the ability to give her a house in the town (either as one of your xx amount of villagers or as an extra number)
- The ability to let her to have the day off (I don't think she would take it if you didn't force her to xD). You are her boss after all.
- Set work times for her so she isn't stuck in the town hall for about 360 days a year and you can interact with her around town the when she's out.

I think that stuff works for the other store owners as well, though I feel like giving Isabelle 'special treatment' since she hasn't left the damn Town Hall in weeks, plus she feels more like 'a villager' to me than say Timmy and Tommy Nook.
 
I used to care so much about ACNL not becoming obsolete, so that ACNL and AC Wii U could go hand-in-hand. But now, I'm really looking forward to fresh start. It would be cool if I could transfer over a few items though. I think there was something with character transfer from WW to CF? That could be nice. But I don't wanna transfer over my mayor, I want new eyes!
 
I wonder if the Wii U Animal Crossing will let you move in with the character you created in New Leaf... Like how you can with moving your Wild World character to City Folk.

I'd also like to see that you can have more than one PWP going on and also let you demolish a project and put up a PWP on the same day. Also, let me be the mayor on holidays, darn-it!

You can demolish a PWP and start a new one on the same day in acnl.

I'm looking forward to any news at all.. I just hope there are more options for everything and more daily things to do.
 
Yeah, how about letting us place the housing signs ourselves so we know the places villagers would put their houses?
 
I hope to god they bring back the Gamecube soundtrack full-force, I love love love love that soundtrack compared to New Leaf.
Which is sad, considering Kazumi Totaka came back to compose this game but it half of the tracks in New Leaf are unmemorable. (*cough*Yoshi's NEW Island is much worse*cough*)
Though bringing in the awesome band that was in Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario 3D World would help bring the New Leaf tracks some light, but change some of them to the point in which they're memorable.
