[RUMOUR] Animal Crossing Switch could be released as early as Q1/Q2

[kappnfangirl]

Inside sources are claiming we could see the game as early as Q1/Q2 2019. One of those sources is PixelPar, who leaked the Animal Crossing Switch announcement shortly before the Nintendo Direct went live. Seeing the game hit the Switch that soon would certainly be a welcome surprise.

This is just a Rumour and I don't want to instil fake hope in people, but just wanted to share

Sources:
1. Go Nintendo
2. Lootpots

Too late

 

[SpiritofAce]

It's happening!

 

[Chouchou]

Please Nintendo, just please. Give me this game 1 januari to start a town on the first day of the year . Or at least, give me some time to play red dead for a couple months haha.

 

[smonikkims]

Anyone have any idea how long it took for the Pok?mon Let's Go information that this guy leaked to be confirmed? I'm wondering if he gets this information only a short while before it gets officially announced...

 

[SpiritofAce]

Animal Crossing Direct coming soon? Next week? Tomorrow!?!? Yess get hyped

 

[Dracyoshi]

Honestly, I kind of expected this! It makes sense that they'd want to avoid releasing Animal Crossing around Pokemon as they have a lot of fanbase overlap and Animal Crossing is best played in the spring and summer, not the winter.

If this doesn't turn out true and they have to release it later then they're gonna be missing out.

This is true. It has to be true.

 

[AccfSally]

Yeah, I'm still taking this as a pinch of salt.

 

[Boccages]

GoNintendo is not a source, they just relay the rumor of Lootpots, a website with no history or credibility as of yet...

So, yeah. That's not worth much.

EDIT
Already, more believable rumor sources are contradicting this rumor. I call it what it is : junk

 

[Licorice]

I'd love a January 1st release. Starting our towns on the start of a new year would be ideal.

Do you have any information that makes this source more believable? Like things they predicted in the past or anything like that? Just trying to build a more complete picture. And is this all they have said about it; do they have any contradicting evidence?

Am I the only one who thinks that this is too early for Animal Crossing to be released? I know it's just a rumour but if it were to be true, I'd worry on how it will turn out.

I don't think anyone would need to worry about how it would turn out. If the game was being rushed then it would make more sense for it to be released before Christmas. I believe it's been in development for a long time but the right moment has been awaited for its announcement.

Let's also consider this: Smash Ultimate is releasing in December. If Animal Crossing were to be released a couple of months later, that would divert the attention away from either of those games. Oh well.

Wow that seems... Really soon. I'm not saying it's not great if it were released early but you don't want overlapping fandoms.

 

[Jason Voorhees]

I hope it's that early.

Fingers and eyes crossed.

PixelPar isn't just some 'unreliable source' with no credibility...he accurately shared official information about Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu before the announcement.

He could of course get this info wrong, and it will still remain just a rumour unless anything is confirmed so I understand the apprehension but there is at least some credibility to it.

 

[Flare]

This made me excited but it's best to not take it too seriously.

 

[smonikkims]

I think it's just exciting to see any attention at all. It's clear that the guy has a little insider information even if he's completely off the mark, so at least digging is being done!!
