Nintendo creators talking about the next Animal Crossing game

If they make another AC for the 3ds that uses the full 2gigs of space on the card and fully takes advantage of the hardware and they add tuns of new features I will be the happiest person alive. But it will more then likely end up being for the wii U in which case I might not get it unless I find a really cheap used wii u but even then I wouldn't be able to play it as much as if it was on a handheld.
 
I already have a WiiU, but it's rarely seen the light of day, due to the lack of games for it. I plan to buy the newest AC game at some point, but if it's just a rehash of New Leaf or subpar like City Folk, then I'll pass.

...Seriously, why did they take the pictures out in CF? Why? And why couldn't you put fish and the like on tables? Why?!
 
I'd like to see a game that could "travel" with you on a handheld and then transfer to a console for when you're home and want to play with better graphics/bigger screen. I like to hope that they'll have perfected the technology enough to make this possible by the time the new AC comes out because I see this being the best thing for the franchise. People love the mobility of the handheld versions but others like the graphical prowess of the consoles. So...porque no los dos?! :D
 
Well, in my opinion City Folk and Wild World were very similar. My guess is that if Nintendo releases a game for the WiiU it will be very similar to New Leaf and therefore we will not necesarily be missing out on anything if we don't purchase it. I will not be buying a WiiU even in a new Animal Crossing does come out simply for cost reasons... and it's very inconvinient for my lifestyle to sit down and play a game at home. I don't use my family's xBox 360 much as it is.

I think that Nintendo won't make the same mistake with the Wii U as the Wii so you could be missing out. That is possibly one of the reasons why CF sold poorly because it was basically the same as Wild World. In my opinion, if they make one on the Wii U, I think it will be different to New leaf.
 
I play at home, in my room. That's the only place I really play. Anywhere else I feel sick, because I'm walking and I get sick from playing and walking. So I have no problem with it. I can't wait for the new features. :D
 
Now that there is a new 3DS, called New Nintendo 3DS, makes you think twice about her words now- New 3DS or Wii U?
 
I have a feeling it'd be on Wii U, which means I won't be buying it. If the new 3DS means a whole new series of non-backwards compatible games, I'm going to be pretty mad. But then again, they'd give it a different brand name. The 3DS didn't come out that long ago, after all.
 
Why can't they just make a new Animal Crossing for both?

If for a 3DS, I hope they don't change things soon. I've worked too hard on my town, and I'm not ready to throw it aside just yet.

This is exactly what I was thinking. A big version for the Wii U and a somewhat downsized version for the 3DS.

I'm gonna be really upset if they make the next AC game for the New 3DS only since I just recently found out -- SURPRISE! -- there's no way to transfer your digital save to a new console, and I already promised my sister she could have current 3DS if I got the new one. But if it means deleting my Coven save, then there's no way I'm going to be getting the New 3DS.
 
I honestly think the next game is going to be on the Wii U. I doubt it's going to be released on the 3DS again (There has never been an Animal Crossing game on the same console) and I don't think they'd have time to develop it for the next handheld console. (Since, just like what they did with the DS, they're just making a bunch of copies of the 3DS) I have nothing to worry about, though, I have gotten the Wii U for Christmas the year it came out.
 
When I got Wild World I was on it constantly and couldn't put it down, so when City Folk came out I bought it in hopes to get back into a game I used to love. I played on City Folk maybe a total of two times before forgetting about it. I thought maybe I'd just glorified a game I liked when I was younger and it wasn't as fun as I thought it was.

Flash forward to now, I just bought New Leaf last week and am loving it even more than Wild World.

Obviously I prefer the handheld consoles. I think a game like AC works best on them. City Folk was very similar to Wild World, like people have said, and even then I couldn't get into the game at all. I hope the next AC game will be on a handheld.
 
I bought a DS (original) then DS lite to play wild world. I played wild world up until I was able to buy a 3DS and new leaf. I bought those consoles purely to place animal crossing. I like to convenience of hand helds. Most people are too busy to sit down and dedicate hours upon hours to one task, like playing AC on a console. I love playing acnl, watching tv, eating, talking all the same time. Instead of isolating myself glued to a tv.

If it's made for wiiU, I doubt I'd buy it. If they made it for both wiiU and 3DS, it would be so much more successful.. And so many more people would actually buy it.
 
I really want to be able to play Animal Crossing on my Wii U, I feel like it would bring back the magic of playing the Population Growing/GameCube version. But at the same time, I love being able to play Animal Crossing anywhere because of the portability. So if they could bring out one for both the Wii U and new 3DS they would be appealing to both sides of my argument and now that amiibo are coming out they could potentially transfer data between both titles so easily!

I'm almost 100% sure the next AC game will be for the Wii U, and in that case I won't be playing it because I'm not going to buy a new console just to play one game.

I think people are kind of rushing it, though. New Leaf has been out for less than a year and a half, did people forget that the gap between City Folk and New Leaf was almost FIVE years?

Actually with how many New Leaf copies sold, Nintendo would be doing this. It probably won't come out until Mid 2015- Early 2016

I'd rather the next AC game be on the 3DS or (if a new handheld is out by that time, that).

I just don't do console gaming anymore. I like the freedom to play pretty much wherever I want that comes with a handheld.
Why two Animal Crossing's on the same console? Nintendo probably wouldn't do that. Like I have seen in another thread, Dobutsunomori e+ was just a upgrade for Dobutsunmori.
 
I usually get frustrated when games I love jump around on consoles. I know how it feels. I plan on getting a WiiU, though. Zelda: Hyrule Warriors, Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 8 sell it for me. not to mention the 2015 Legend of Zelda in the works. And if a new AC hits WiiU, even better! :D
 
I would love to see another Animal Crossing game for a console.

Although I do agree that Animal Crossing plays better on a handheld, the Wii U is capable of bigger and better than the 3DS could.

And if development goes smooth, we could get the Original on Gamecube, but with the New Leaf mechanics.
