Dude, you got to stop deluding yourself. When they say partial, they mean other game companies. Not a partial list of NINTENDO games. That's all Nintendo's games through 2012, so we're not getting it this year. And if we were, it would be announced in the next month, in time for it to actually be released. Plus, they probably don't have any games released in December, because it would be too close to paper Mario. They space their releases by 2 or 3 months at least, and Animal Crossing is too big a title to release that close to Paper Mario. All signs point to 2013, and mid 2013 at that. (Because Luigi's Mansion will probably be the big release of early 2013.)
I'd had my hopes up that they'd announce it soon as well, but the release date for Paper Mario solidifies that it's not coming. It's too late for them to announce it's release before Paper Mario, and there's not enough time after for them to still get it out during the holidays.
You can hope for a 2012 release, but logic goes against it. (Know this bums me out as well, I just couldn't stand the flaws in your arguments.)
