What will Animal Crossing for Wii U be like?

It's not just the screen transitions, GameCube towns actually are bigger (30 acres vs. 25 in City Folk).
 
The introduction of planes and a ton of new locations instead of a small town is going to be what kills the AC experience for me and will pull me away from the series.
 
I think it's pretty far from that though. I mean with mayorship and all that has been introduced they can just add new PWPs and more abilities to being mayor and then a few other features.
 
I am hoping they go with the graphics seen in Nintendo Land's Animal Crossing mini game but adapted to the normal serie. I have never been a big fan of the very curvy, round landscape that has been retained since Animal Crossing: Wild World. Besides, the Nintendo Wii version had really crappy graphics fit for an handheld console and I would be quite put off if Nintendo didn't use the extra horsepower the Wii U packs.
 
Uh, I really didn't think the graphics up City Folk were that bad... looked loads better than Wild World in my opinion. Looked really nice and smooth. I imagine that the Wii U version will be even nicer.

Though graphics really aren't that important to me when it comes to video games. xD
 
Kinda odd thinking about AC in HD now, I'd say stick with the art direction of New Leaf. AC obviously isn't a very visually demanding game so I don't think maxing the power of the Wii U would be the best idea or necessary for an AC game.
 
Wind Waker HD says hello.

Link only because BIG PRETTY PICTURE. I think Animal Crosing would do absolutely fine in HD.

So many things I want to complain about that picture..([size=-20]grumble grumble wall texture grumble grumble plants grumble[/size])

But assuming they do make a Wii U version of Animal Crossing, I don't care how it looks or what resolution it's in. All I care about is having a fun game that isn't a remake flop of a previous one.
 
First time I've heard of it being on Wii U??

Don't think it be as good as the DS/3DS but you never know.
 
It's not confirmed, but it's bound to be on it.

Unless Nintendo realizes that the success of the handhelds have been better than the home console releases.

I mean.. look at the Wii U game list right now, and look at which of those games are currently released.
Going on that alone, I kind of doubt there will be a Wii U AC. If there is, it won't be until really late in the console's life.
 
After selling 16.9 millions copies of Wild World they probably will go ahead with launching it on the Wii U System, Just like they have already released it on the Game Cube ,Wii, DS and now the 3DS.

From what I have seen New Leaf does seem promising and A big improvement from the DS verstion Wild World.

I'm not sure about your theory, AC has been a bigger seller in Japan and could help move units.
 
Not sure if anyone has said this yet, but some kind of connectivity between wii u and 3ds versions where you could visit each others towns. Or meet up at some new area. It could possibly warrant a game update.

I think you're misinterpreting my theory.

Even in Japan, the Wii U has poor sales. The 3DS has way more units sold over there AND globally.
Animal Crossing wouldn't have sold as much as it did on a home console in Japan as a handheld version would. My theory is stating that due to this, it might be best for them to completely skip out on a home console version and wait for the next handheld console, so they can release it as a launch title.

That would most likely ensure them not only a massive sale of the game, but for the console too.

I understand your theory and completely get what your saying, I just don't think what you saying will end up happening.
 
In my opinion A game like AC would be much better on Hand Held systems. It is A perfect game you can play anywhere just like Nintendogs is but then again it being on the Wii the screen they could add a lot more graphics being to switch back to the TV or just use the Wii U screen.
