I think it's just them preparing for the future, more or less. Like, there will definitely be a new Animal Crossing game at some point within the next two years and it will definitely be on the Switch. Will it be this year? That's anyone's guess at the moment, but things at least are moving in regards to the series, which is more than anyone can say about F-Zero.

I kinda hope there we be a new game BUT I also hope it's a expanded version of new leaf, with town layers and more villagers nd better and more pwps that can be customized. I don't have a switch so I'll probably be late to it since I'm very cheap.

^ I'd honestly be okay with that myself, but it might catch Nintendo some heat considering the blowback they got when City Folk was revealed/released.
My dream scenario has the game going full 3D, with complete camera control and a first-person view to allow furniture and environment inspection. There's literally no reason to still be using the rolling log effect to hide the game world as we are no longer bottlenecked by weak hardware.

First person would be awesome! I disagree with the rolling log effect as it played a major role, specifically to the design of Wild World (world = earth = round sphere), in the artistic value of AC. And tbh, I enjoy that aspect. AC is only game that I have played that has that feature. Moving forward, even then the earth doesn't portray that same aspect as we see it so it would still be interesting to see Nintendo remove the rolling log effect in future games. But personally, I don't like the hate that it gets especially in terms of WW.

I guess at this point it could be seen as part of the series identity now much in the same way as mortgage is, but it's still a hangover from a time when the horsepower just wasn't there and they had make some compromises. True to form, Nintendo built the game and even titled it around the drawback.
They could please everyone and include multiple camera styles: Full camera mode, overhead(Gamecube) and rolling log. Everyone wins!

I agree, I feel like the rolling log camera has really become a part of the series! There's nothing wrong with first person or fully rotatable cameras, but I personally don't see the purpose in that for Animal Crossing. I feel like that would be a very different game. I do, however, think that a fully rotatable camera could be nicely implemented into homes specifically!

I hope it's not first person, :/ first person games make me queasy.
Or the ball or log rolling navigation like ww or cf, those where awful. (again, queasy)

While I don't see a reason to go back to overhead style apart from it being the original style and nastalgia, it would be interesting for Nintendo to incorporate that as well in a new game, or maybe them doing a remastered version of AC Gamecube or something. They have yet to do anything for AC anniversaries as far as game wise besides a video.
First person isn’t going to happen. The game has a large focus on character costumization and if the majority of the game was in first person, character customization would be redundant. At most, we’ll probably just get a first person camera like we got in HHD that can be used inside and outdoors.

I seem to have been misunderstood. I'm not saying make the game first-person, but make it a feature that some gameplay elements require. Like in most 3rd person action games, pushing in on the right analog stick (which typically moves the camera around) will put you in a first-person view. There wouldn't be any actual first-person gameplay beyond inspecting rocks or shooting balloons down with your slingshot. You couldn't walk around or anything, at least not while outside. Indoors it could serve as another method of doing screenshot/video tours on one's own home.
Trust me, making Animal Crossing first-person is the last thing I want. Nobody wants that, sheesh.

Tbh, I think we fans would be fine with anything. We just want a main franchise Switch game and no spin-offs! <--- this to an extent of our wishes.
I agree! I'm certainly not opposed to change, but I'd be fine with something very similar to new leaf. I really just want the ability to play a high definition animal crossing game on my switch.
i'm not wanting a switch yet because we have the wii u and don't do a lot of console gaming. with that said though, a AC switch game would definitely push me into getting a switch and trading in the wii u. 
i hope it's a full game instead of something like the festival... urgh.

What do you think of this?

Personally, I think we should just wait until E3. But what are your thoughts? Fake or Legit??

Watch out of how many YouTubers are gonna make now 10+ minutes long videos just to discuss about
these two pictures. It's like with Pokemon, someone leaked something, tons of people think it's real until
someone else has to explain why the leaks are fake and everyone is disappointed afterwards. Although I
have to say that the second pic with The Roost (?) looks not bad.
Speaking of the Mario Kart 8 track: Back then when the Switch wasn't a thing and where people still thought the next AC main game would come out for the Wii U, I always thought that the Animal Crossing track in MK8 would be a preview of how a AC main game for the Wii U would look like, since the track is very detailed and just looks beautiful in general. I wouldn't mind if they would take some inspirations from this track for the AC Switch game. Especially the giant plaza tree and the beach section would be really nice.
