Release Date / Game Reveal Timing Speculation and Discussion

[Sweetley]

The thing is Nintendo can drop anytime a Animal Crossing only Direct (which would be really nice
if they would do this). I do hope they gonna drop some news in the time in general, otherwise we
have to wait till E3 which would kinda sucks to be honest...

yeah I agree with you. I guess we just have to keep our eyes peeled.

There is a Pok?mon Direct coming 27th but no Animal Crossing Direct!!!

Okay sure, but there’s still time for AC Switch to be having gameplay and a release date. I’m hoping they will before E3.

Well, the announcement of a Pokemon Direct was now more likely then a AC Direct since Pokemon Day
is on the way. But that doesn't mean AC can't have it's own Direct too. Just wait and hope...

 

[Chouchou]

Maaaaybe they are doing a 7 minute animal crossing direct in the future.
They can pull any trick card at this point.

At this point I'm betting e3 will be when we see anything about it so they can really hype everyone up. Low key hoping that once they start their presentation they show a few trailers and announce the new game is already in the eshop and will be in stores like... the next day or something. But that Is definitley a stretch lol.

Whenever they reveal...is fine with me. Overall, I just hope Nintendo takes their time and makes a great game. I'd rather have a good game than a crappy one. I'm ready for some new experiences. And as much as I love New Leaf, I really hope we don't get that game only upgraded for the Switch.

I thought it would be Q2 but it's probably most likely Q4 now. Animal Crossing games usually release around November so it may release around then, but with Pokemon coming it could release in September or something. Who knows

Will the amiibo cards work with the new switch game?

 

[pinkfawn]

I'm really wondering when they'll have time for a release... Anything before summer is way too soon with them having absolutely nothing revealed except that its supposedly coming this year. June (or July? Can't remember) has Fire Emblem which is a huge Nintendo title and they won't want anything competing against each other. Then you have Pokemon coming in late 2019 which is, to my guess, October or November looking at previous releases. So this leaves us with August or September. My gut is (unfortunately) telling me September.

Either that or they're going to delay it, as much as I hate to say it. They knew fans would be angry if they put Isabelle in Smash and had nothing about the main-line series to announce. I think they threw it out there to keep an outrage at bay and they might not be able to follow through with it. I hope I'm wrong though and we see something about it soon, but its March and at this point I really don't think we'll see any game footage until E3. Nintendo is welcome to prove me wrong though.

How can we know

 

[Neechan]

Super Mario odyssey and breath of the wild have amiibo support, so I am pretty sure ACS will have support as well

 

[EpicGamer12]

I wouldn't be surprised if it got delayed, but it would obviously suck. Imagine not getting any news about it at E3. That would be the worst.

 

[MayorNah]

My guess is Q3 or Q4 as we?ve not gotten any updates since the vague ?2019? confirmation. Pok?mon Sword and Shield got a ?late 2019? release date and full trailer just now. So I am guessing AC for switch will get a similar trailer and release date this month if we keep a 2019 release date.

There's Luigi's Mansion 3 and the Link's Awakening as well probably coming late in the year. IMO one of the four (those two, Pokemon, and AC) gets delayed into the next year, it's just too many big hitters in a span of probably four months.

Since Link's Awakening was just announced, and Pokemon just re-announced, I'd say either LM3 or AC gets the boot. Both were announced in the same September Direct and have received no news since then. On that train of thought, LM3 at least had some gameplay shown whereas AC showed nothing which seems like bad news for AC, but that could be reading into things too far.

 

[LambdaDelta]

Luigi's Mansion 2 came out in 2013, you joker

 

[Neechan]

I hear some theories that LM3 will have an October release (due to its SPOOKY theme), and a lot of AC youtubers see ACS coming out in September (using the releases of all major titles so far, it seems very likely, but its due to change, so dont get too excited and take this with a grain of salt)

Oops, I was only counting the good ones.
