Yes to the online being a paid service. I believe it's going to be around $20 a year. But it's something to do with a mobile app :/
I'm only buying a switch because of AC, the same reason I bought a 3DS when I already had a DS My guess is that it will be on the Switch hopefully at the end of next year. They said the app is supposed to go with the game and that shouldn't be too long until its released (damn super Mario run). Also I think ?20 a year is a pretty good deal but it it's like ?10 a month I doubt I'll be playing online very much.
Hopefully that rumour is true.. http://www.a90skid.com/rumor-animal-crossing-game-switch/
Well. That was click baity. The hints the guy's talking about are Animal Crossing icons in the Nintendo Switch OS. That's his biggest argument. That's weak. But we all know it's coming. We don't know when, that's it.
Something I thought about the other day. The switch doesn't have a camera, right? And the QR code thingy with patterns was used often by many players. IF there will be an AC for the switch, I wonder what would happen to the QR code machine. I can't imagine it not being in the game considering it's popularity. Maybe you could use a phone app for it? Or something? What do you guys think?
People who come to this website never cease to amaze me.
They want the next AC to be on the 3DS.
One of the most profitable franchises they own.
And you guys think they will release it on their old system, not the new one they want to sell.
Sounds logical.
I think Nintendo will release a new AC game for the Switch perhap this time next year. (although, Christmas this year would be better for the hype it seems to me..., but i think we'd already be hearing rumors if one was in development for this year)
