The Wii U will turn 3 in the last week of November 2015. Yet, it's February 2015 and we haven't heard a single thing on a potential Animal Crossing. Yes, the director behind Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Aya Kyogoku posted about a new Information or Announcement Community for the Animal Crossing Miiverse community and Minamoto said last November that Nintendo was thinking of producing amiibos as cards (with cheaper production costs) and he gave the example of Animal Crossing as a game that could use that sort of medium. But nothing as of yet concrete.
I've always enjoyed my 'Animal Crossings' better on a big screen, at home. Sure, I liked it on the 3DS and on the DS, but with a tiny pixelated screen (Nintendo handhelds screens look horrible when compared to an iPhone, an iPad or a Macbook Pro with retina displays), it really isn't as satisfying. I bought the Wii U back in June 2013 and I think it is the system I like the most since... the SNES. One of the reasons I bought the Wii U is I was looking forward an Animal Crossing game for it.
I'm afraid Nintendo might skip the Wii U with the Animal Crossing series. I'm pretty sure the company will announce a successor to the 3DS at this year's E3 with a scheduled release date somewhere in early to mid 2016. By then, the 3DS will be 5 years old ! And one of the title they could announce for the new handheld console could be a new Animal Crossing game. With all the ressources going to the development of a new Animal Crossing for the new handheld console, I'd be depressed to see the Wii U getting left behind on the Animal Crossing forefront.
What do you guys think ?
