Release Date / Game Reveal Timing Speculation and Discussion

[floatingzoo]

The 15th is drawing nearer...

Do you think there will be animal crossing switch news on the 15th this month? Clues seem to be pointing to it however, I'm trying to not keep my hopes up too high!

 

[UglyMonsterFace]

I'm almost positive that all clues point to that. If only because Reggie would be the perfect person to announce it on his last day. But if not, I won't be too disappointed because I can wait til E3 in June. It's not that far away.

I'm not going to get my hopes up, but it would be nice.
Maybe we'll see something.

"Okay, that is all the time I got. I have to get ready to play Animal Crossing 2 on my Nintendo Switch when it launches on September 6th."

But seriously, nothing really points to this happening. Reggies departure next week will likely be a quiet affair with a farewell message on Twitter.

I mean, it would be nice for this to happen, but I am not too optimistic about this, it would be a good time to do it since animal crossing is about making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones, but we’ll just have to wait until next week when Reggie leaves Nintendo

I got a Switch a few days ago, so now I can buy this game. My guess it will be released around Christmas.

I think the game will be out during the summer with news about the game at E3

And after that, they drop a trailer of the new AC game.

I mean, the tweet about Nook is confusing, sure, it's a 50/50 chance whatever it has
now a meaning or not, but it is weird that they gonna make a tweet about taxes, as Tax
day is on April 15th, using Tom Nook for this tweet, who is a well known AC character,
Reggie also says goodbye on that day and one day before, on April 14th, the first AC
game becomes 18 years old. That timing alone is already pretty wild if you ask me.

I will not get my hype high at that point, but having Reggie giving the fans a last gift
before he goes would be pretty cool. But yeah, guess we will have to wait and see.

The 15th is a Monday, and Nintendo doesn't hold events of any kind on Mondays. Don't look into that tweet too much.

 

[Paperboy012305]

So you’re saying nothing Nintendo related will happen on Monday and all this is just a coincidence?
Because that’s what I believe too...

How about the announcement of something on that monday? Are there any chances for this?

But yeah, it could also be nothing at all and just a weird tweet with no meaning behind it. I
just hope that some AC fans will not start any hate at that point, as I already saw some on
Twitter who gonna start to get panic because of this...

Well I mean, it's a tweet reminding the adults following the official Nintendo Twitter account that the deadline is coming up. That's the meaning behind it.

Not saying something won't happen, but it's best just to not to look into that tweet too much just because it featured Animal Crossing, especially when none of the other Nintendo accounts have mentioned that day. It's a US thing.

Nintendo is holding another meeting with investors next Thursday in Japan. It's important to note that we get updated release calendars with these, and any changes to the scheduled games for 2019 will definitely be brought up in order to set expectations for E3 and ease the concerns of investors.

 

[Chouchou]

At this point I just don't care anymore really.

 

[Soot Sprite]

I always read any possible direct and AC information, but I don't gets my hopes up because most of it is just speculation at this point. As much as I would love to see some more information there's no point in getting angry when a rumor ends up just being a rumor. It'll come out eventually, and there's still hope for E3.

I like how much this graph has shifted towards Q4 over time. It's quite something, considering we can't change our votes.

I set my vote to Q4, because that’s how I see the game to release.

 

[moonford]

the only thing I personally need to know about is confirmation, trailers and gameplay don't matter nor does release; I'm very patient and delighted that we're getting a new installment!

Not super groundbreaking but interesting nonetheless imo.

Scroll down to page seven of Nintendo's Earnings Release PDF for those think it'll be pushed to 2020. Still gotta keep the hope alive in small ways yep. . . :3
