What will Animal Crossing for Wii U be like?

[Officer Berri]

Regardless of what it'll be like for the Wii U, I probably wont buy it unless it introduces another big step for the series... which would be unwise in my opinion. The Games work so much better as handheld systems. Plus with that controller I'd have to look further from the actual game screen to do whatever the controller's involved with (probably the inventory). I really hate stretching out my focus like that.

If it does come out for the Wii U, I might not even buy it. I didn't want to buy City Folk, even WITH the city introduced. I just couldn't justify paying sixty dollars for a game I won't be playing that often after a few days. I teased the idea of buying it, but I finally decided not to when I learned about the animal tracks problem. I'd be even lest apt to buy a Wii U version. Not only would I have to pay like sixty bucks for the game, I'd also have to buy a Wii U since I'm not 100% sure I even want the system yet. |: And then there's that whole online aspect of the Wii U that really doesn't thrill me.

I'd imagine the game would be pretty much just like New Leaf, only with a new random gimmick slapped on. Maybe even the addition of places to explore like the cave or a forest. Normally I'd be excited for such things but knowing Nintendo, they'd just put certain fossils/bugs/fish we can already get there and only add a couple more to the locations. Probably cutting down on the stuff we can actual get from our town. They could add a place like City Folk did... but unless it's something really big and cool I can't see myself paying all the money to play it. Not when I have New Leaf.

I couldn't agree more. I actually GAVE AWAY my wild world version(much to my regret) to a friend because I was given the City Folk. Once I played it I realized how freaking useless and annoying the city was IMO. I also missed being able to take the game with me. I always take my dogs for walks to the off leash and nothing is better to have a game to play while they run around.

I would much rather they come out with an "expansion pack"(if anything at all) of sorts for New Leaf. It seems too soon to come out with a whole new Wii U animal crossing when New Leaf is JUST coming out. Nintendo already knows that City Folk basically failed as a game so I REALLY doubt they would repeat the same mistake with New Leaf.

Will there be one? I might buy a Wii U for it. I'm usually not so impulsive, but I have a weakness for AC.

 

[Prof Gallows]

Chances are there will be. There has been one for every home console since the 64.

But it'll probably be a few years from now before we see anything on an AC game for the Wii U. The console is only four months old.

 

[Kip]

If they make the lighting better then mother of grapefruit I'm sold.

The Wii U is a very powerful console so they would be able to make the lighting more radiant & realistic.

 

[KirbyHugger8D]

Hopefully they won't make a new game for the Wii U. I'd like it if they made it so you could play your New Leaf game on the Wii U with better graphics and such. Then, you could transfer it back to your ds when you want portability. Though I have a feeling the already did this with City Folk....

 

[Prof Gallows]

Honestly, I wouldn't even buy that.

That would be very annoying and lazy on their part. They have so much more power to work with on the Wii U to make a game that is ten times better than New Leaf. I can see them letting you transfer your NL character over to the Wii U, but that's where it would stop. Like it did with WW and CF.

Whenever they do make a Wii U AC, hopefully it will be unique and offer us even more ways to play.

 

[Jake]

Yeah I'm with the PG.

It'll just be like CF all over again, an almost exact, unoriginal copy of a predecessor game.

ACU hopefully will be a refurbished version of NL with new features and **** idk idc about ACU right now like that's 623625 light years away

 

[Kip]

Remember how much additions New Leaf has? such things as Island Mini Games, Community Projects, Pants, Socks, Skirts & Shoes could grow immensely even if they do a lazy job. But the team learned a lot from city folks release, so i don't think they'll do a poor job with the Wii U version. I know you all are going to get it either way

 

[Justin]

I know you all are going to get it either way

The cold hard truth is right here folks.

 

[Hey Listen!]

Will and always will. I want the race situation to be sorted out in the new game. More hairstyles would also be a nice minor detail.

I've just thought of an idea. For ACU they could make objects like Luigi's vacuum/Poltergust from Luigi's Mansion and you could carry it around, kinda like the toy hammer and the wands and what not from new leaf.

Making the flowers and trees blow in the wind would make the game a lot more animated.

Blizzards would be "cool" to have as well.

For community projects they could have new things like: Plastic greenhouses, Campfire, Picnic Tables(that can be used), A few different fountain shapes. and they should make some recolor-able.

most of this stuff is just things i had at the top of my head, but these are some things i really wanna see added.

1) sounds cool. on top of this I think back pack items would be nice, or some type of back/waist accessory; anyone remember that in early development of New Leaf we were supposed to be able to wear belts...

Spoiler

2) Ya I really want this to happen

3) Tmk I'm pretty sure blizzards are in NL, they're not super extreme but it is a much more noticeable snow fall

4) Pretty sure more community projects is a definite. I would like more shaped fountains (as mentioned) but would also like animal shaped topiaries (like an elephant). Idc about recolor but I know people want to be able to move them facing different directions

Honestly. Animal Crossing should stay on handhelds. It's just so much easier for the average person to be able to hop on AC for a bit while on a subway, a bus or at lunch ore whatever than to have to commit alot more time to sitting down in front of a TV for a few hours and rush their AC chores... wow what a run on sentence, I'm sorry. But, I think AC shouldnt be on Wii U or any console for that reason.

I agree, I prefer hand held over console.

I don't have a WiiU tho but can't you play the game off TV on the handheld?

 

[Justin]

Some games, yes. But it's not a handheld like a 3DS or Vita is. Everything is processed on the main console so you need to stay within one or two rooms away at the most to maintain a solid connection.

Oh I thought it'd be something like that.

This thread should be more of a "How will the next Animal Crossing game be like?"

But back on topic.

I think the next Animal Crossing game should have a bigger town and more items. I was thinking they could add other things like having a pet, but that wouldn't really make sense as the villagers are all animals

Also, they could add something like farming, although it would be a lot like Harvest Moon. But, jeeze they should add some new mechanic soon. So we can waste even more time on the game

I highly disagree. I know many people who prefer the console versions. It just seems much more stable and put together. The Wi-Fi is always much better as well.

Most threads tend to go off topic every once in a while. Its natural.

If they were to add farming to animal crossing i don't think it would be like harvest moon. Everything in animal crossing just has an original feel. For example, fishing in animal crossing is much different than harvest moon.
The developers really know what they are doing.

 

[Officer Berri]

Ohh, farming sounds interesting, but I'd hope that villagers wouldn't be able to drop their house on your crops! xD

:3 I'd just like the idea of berry bushes you could pick, and the town would have a town berry.
