Nintendo's E3 booth lineup does not include Animal Crossing

[nintendofan85]

I just read this in this article. While I realize this doesn't guarantee we won't hear any Animal Crossing news at E3, this is honestly discouraging IMO. What do you guys make of it?

Yeah I heard about this. If it's true, I'll be disappointed. But at least then I could hope that there will be exclusive Nintendo Direct Animal Crossing coverage at a later date. Maybe then they'll go more in-depth with things? Could suggest the possibility of a delay too though.

I strongly think it's going to be shown at E3 either way. Maybe they just want to surprise us & it'll be the last thing they show. I'm hoping they give us a nice amount of coverage instead of a 3 minute segment or something.

I understand the article, but 7 years from the main game series and they give absolutely nothing in the next direct is honestly hard to swallow. I doubt they aren't going to say anything, but I wouldn't bet on it either sadly.

This doesn't guarantee anything. It just means that they won't have a demo for the game. There's only so much you can demo for Animal Crossing. What are you going to do if you play for 15 minutes? Run around? Talk to or do chores for villagers that may or may not be new? Fish? Catch bugs? Buy something? Spend the entire time making a pattern that may be erased for the next next person? They're not going to spoil a holiday event. Might be satisfying for you, but AC is a game you want to play and relax with, and E3 is not the most relaxing place.

AC just doesn't demo well.. I don't think ACNL had a demo either? I think we will get info during a Nintendo treehouse presentation where they will show us a sample town that is a little bit developed to the point where they can show us the new features.

I believe it had a demo, but not at E3.

Yeah that's what I mean. No floor demo at E3

 

[Stevey Queen]

All that means is that it won't have a demo for the general public to play @ e3. Technically Nintendo didnt announce all the games that were going to have a booth. They just mentioned a few and said "and many more". I dont think they announced an animal crossing demo because it doesnt have an announced title, logo, or any information about the game at all.

We should still be hearing news and Treehouse live streams.

Why would the game have a demo anyways? No demo doesn't mean we won't hear anything

 

[pinkfawn]

Yeah I thought we knew from the other day it didn't have a demo at E3? This doesn't make me worried.

 

[tsukune_713]

im not too worried since it only means they wont have a demo not that they wont show it (though ill be upset if they didnt show it)

 

[SensaiGallade]

This literally just means there's no demo to play and has nothing to do with the E3 direct at all, not to mention AC isn't something that demo's well.

Food!


Water!



Animal Crossing Switch!

That's just the information that there will be no demo of the game there. Such a game like Animal Crossing
isn't really a game where you can make a demo out of it. It's more like a game for the Nintendo Treehouse,
as they can show way more of it there and also talk in detail about new features and such.

I don't think animal crossing has ever demo'd on the showfloor ever ... we still got newleaf even tho it never demo'd lol
