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

It seems WAY too early to release it as winter is usually a quiet period, it'd make more sense for a release in late may early June as that's when a lot of people are being released from school or are on vacation

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.

Well, people who are wanting to play Smash are getting Smash anyways. Idem with Animal Crossing. I just want a gameplay video. I'm so curious what we are going to get.
 
I heard form my local GameStop the game will release on March 23rd!

I hope that this is true but this just seems like clickbait to me

''Animal Crossing for Nintendo Switch could be released as early as Q1/Q2 2019''

Key word here is COULD
Anyone can say that lmao

Calling it right now, Pit from Kit Icarus could be a villager in Animal Crossing Switch. I'll even write an article saying I got reliable sources and make a video about it to somehow make any sense out of it. Despite my claim being based on absolutely no data at all :)
 
Yeah at this point with all the fans excited and anxiously waiting for news. It could be clickbait for trolling, would be easy to do. If it turns out to be true than I'll retract that.
 
I don't know why a respected leaker would go out of their way to troll anyone though. They would lose their credibility for the future by doing that. It's not as though this is completely baseless after all; it's unlikely that this guy would be able to actually tell anyone where he got his information from as this is a bit of a wonky moral ground, but it's good that you're not getting your hopes up.
 
-shrugs- anything is possible at this point. It just doesn't make sense to me for the game to be released that early. But yeah getting my hopes up has never done me good.
 
I would expect to have some more information within the next month or so if we are getting it that early though. Maybe within the next two months if it slips into Q2. Whether that information includes footage or not I'm sure there would be some official mention of the game fairly soon if this is meant to be.

I mean the website did say that more information will be coming soon but soon can mean half a year in Nintendo's case so who knows.
 
Oh that. I was wondering whether you meant that. I imagine that's just a standard line of text for all their empty pages :)
 
I don't think it'll release Q1. Too soon. Personally, I don't think we'll get it earlier than late summer at best.

Although, Animal Crossing always looks the best during spring and summer seasons so a Q2 release would be very welcome. :cool:
 
So I'm very skeptical and here's why. People have been asking for a new animal crossing for years AND were expecting something at E3 Nintendo knew this. Why wouldn't they announce something at E3 or sooner if the game was ready to be released for the public as soon as six months later? Not to mention nothing but the trailer has been released in Japan Nintendos home land. (Not that I know of at least). I have never seen a teaser trailer then a game released and ready to go so soon after eachother. There's no prerelease at any game store and nothing but one very short teaser. Game stop loves to dig it's claws into anything as soon as possible so why haven't they? Believe me I really do hope it comes out soon but I'm not getting my Hope's to high just yet . I just believe we would have more than one trailer and blurry probably faked photos if it were true.
 
I doubt it. But Nintendo does occasionally surprise us.

What I'm more concerned about is the release itself. Animal Crossing has yet to have a worldwide release, like Pokemon or some other big franchises. Even if it were to come out Q1/Q2 - that might only be for Japan. And then everywhere else might not get it until like Q4.

I hope Nintendo does a worldwide release for it though.
 
No way it would be released in january (as some users here in this thread hope), that would be mean
Nintendo has to drop all important things like title, general gameplay and informations within the next
two months so that it would work, which is very unlikely. March could maybe work, maybe! Q2 sounds
more likely... Ugh, I don't know... I guess I will just wait till Nintendo will say something about it. When
it comes to rumors, I always don't know if I should pay them attention or not.
 
I also agree that if a January release is gonna happen then info needs to be heavy within 2 months. However I do not think January will happen at all. March is looking good if this rumour is to be believed.

By the way, there is a rumour that an October Nintendo Direct is coming up soon, so I would say that if we get any information regarding Animal Crossing during that (if it's true) then we can start getting our hopes up. However I get the feeling the focus will mostly be on Smash if this is the case. Just thought I'd mention!
