What will Animal Crossing for Wii U be like?

[Hey Listen!]

I'm not sure if this thread has already been made but I searched it and nothing came up so I decided to ask something that has been on my mind and that is: What will AC: Wii U be like?

I know that most of us don't have New Leaf yet such as myself but I'm just curious to know what everyone else thinks about it. Graphics wise I think the graphics be similar to the Animal Crossing: Sweet Day mini game for Nintendo Land. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka-CK4ldiDc

Hey there Hey, Listen, I am not entirely sure what Animal Crossing Wii U will be like as it does seem to me that they are literally cramming Animal Crossing New Leaf with features. (which is a good thing)

I also think that we shouldn't discuss too much about Animal Crossing Wii U until Nintendo has released Animal Crossing New Leaf worldwide as some countries haven't even got that game yet.

I think the Wii U game will end up being a lot like New Leaf, but with some new added features of course. I don't think the additions over New Leaf will be major, though. Since New Leaf provides a (badly needed) major overhaul to the series, I can see them playing it safe and keeping the changes minimal for the next couple games until it starts getting stale again.

I understand what you mean and I agree but ever since the wii u came out its been on my mind

It'll be like Animal Crossing, but on the Wii U.

My friend got the Wii U at release and I was playing Sweet Day with him. It was really fun, especially using the control pad to find people If nothing else, the mini games could be really neat.

Hmm, the gamepad will show the map/item screen/friends, ya know, all that menu stuff. The town will be bigger. There will be more town decorations and customization. They'll bring back a few Gamecube villagers and a few new ones. And they will even bring back Champ, the monkey. Animal tracks will hopefully be out of the picture.

Of course, I'm just guessing here XD

 

[Hey Listen!]

lol could do without animal tracks

 

[Hey Listen!]

to be honest i just cant wait till im able to play HD animal crossing in bed and on the go have my 3ds. hopefully that will one day become a reality

Hopefully, they keep the addition of being mayor. Now that they've added that, it'd be weird and would seem like a huge step backwards to have you back as a regular citizen. Also, from what I've read, the New Leaf town is pretty small and it can be hard to fit community projects into it. The Wii U version would definitely need to be a lot bigger and more spacious, and have more projects added. They could also integrate the game into the Miiverse. I can see that being pretty cool.

 

[Hey Listen!]

Well i was thinking today that since you can now view all angles of your house, wouldnt it be cool if you could view all angles of your town? I feel like that would make the world feel sort of bigger since there would be many different perspectives to veiw your town at. Just a thought.

 

[ACCFSuperstar]

It would be cool to see Animal Crossing in HD.

I think it would be cool just to use the gamepad as like a sort of bag. But it also is an encyclopedia (bugs, fish where to get em'), a map, and a newspaper (new idea: tells about birth days, sales, rare items at shops, holidays, ect.)

I've been coming up with ideas for how I would do AC for the Wii U (my opinion may be different from you guys think/what Nintendo will actually do), and here are some of the things I've come up with:

?A new tool: the bird net. This is much larger than the bug net, and will let you catch the town canary, among other species.
?Platinum tools will be introduced.
?Themed areas to visit that reflect different cultures, and have exclusive items.

These are the names I like:
Animal Crossing U
Animal Crossing: World Explorer

(this will be edited as I come up with more ideas)

To add to that maybe the AI could be totally amped up:

-The AI are divided into 2 groups: AC Foreign and AC Basic.
-AC Foreign would be all of the AC villagers who are more ethnic (French frog, Asian Mouse)
-AC Basic would be all the basic villagers who live in your town.
-A travel agency could be developed where you can a) open up the airport b) leave to a nearby town c) travel abroad
-The travel abroad option would change with the month (ie. October-China, November-France, and December-Australia)
-There would be about 4 travel abroad areas and they would change with you 3ds region (If you were from Asia you may go to a NY inspired US rather than China)
-On your trips you could harvest special fruit and play special games
-While on the trip you would be able to go online and meet up to 5 of your online friends in the travel area
-If you make friends with animals while away one may consider moving into your town
-You would stay on the trip for 48 hours or less and then would return home
-While away your home would be taken care of by Pelly
-Phyllis would run the Air Service
-The online count would be increased to 6
-The town would be much bigger
-If you an ethnic villager moves in you would celebrate their holidays (bonus)
-The ethnic villager wouldn't move in but instead stay at the hotel until another ethnic villager moves in from their area or if the hotel is full (3 slots)
-The ethnic villager would leave after 4 months no matter what

The inventory will be on the GamePad, of course.

The inventory will be on the GamePad, of course.

Honestly, I hope they are more creative than that. Not that I'm against the idea of inventory on there but I feel it's a waste of the GamePad capabilities to just do that. The DS and 3DS games have been doing that forever.

Oh and Off-TV Play for Animal Crossing U would be perfect.

Meh, I could do without it. I'd prefer my town to be more like a commune - by which I mean that any and all player characters can direct community projects. Frankly, I feel like the whole mayor shtick is pretty gimmicky.

 

[Yuki Nagato]

Is there going to be an Animal Crossing game for the Wii u ? Like a normal one? I didn't know that :O.

*Sigh*

 

[Prof Gallows]

Nobody knows.

It's not been announced or anything, it's just ideas of what a game would be like if it were on the Wii U.
