I agree. I'd much rather see DLC for New Leaf or another 3DS game (maybe for the new 3DS if they really want to push the novelty) that would let you import villagers if you wanted to.
Why haven't we heard anything on a Animal Crossing game for Wii U ?

We'll see, E3 is coming around the corner and I'm sure they'll have a few surprise announcements. I'll be happy with either a Wii U or N3DS installment, to be honest. I always miss the grand time for playing AC when everyone's initially excited for it and I want to experience the full online functionality this time around.
Remember how long it took for New Leaf to come about from the initial announcement. And now think about a console with a much larger screen and better graphics, which requires more details to be put into models and etc. And they need to come up new content to satisfy players of New Leaf.
The wii U will probably be 5 before we get any announcement, if there will even be one.

Yeah okay but they do not announce sequels always in the same passion they did before, most games release within 2 years there are some exceptions like Mario Party 10 of course and i think that Animal Crossing Wii U just gets announced on a tactical moment knowing Nintendo and that it will be here either this years christmas or next year (Mehh actually i do not know that but i just really want it!!!)

Oh and the content does not change too much i guess, remember City Folk? Yes? Okay now compare it to Wild World, not a too big difference if you ask me...

They came out with the New 3DS, specifically so they could create games that could only be played on that system. It makes perfect sense, IMO.
Not true. There were two AC games on the GC in Japan.

80s anime is cool
Wait until E3 when something happens, if not...
The New Leaf wait begins once again...ugh...

All I can say is is that I'd be super PO'd if they only ever released it on a console like wii U, and not a handheld system. Like many others have said, the appeal of the DS family is the portability, and personally I think it would be super awkward to try to play AC on something like the wii U. It just doesn't seem right lol I see the wii U as more of a party gaming system, not something you sit down to relax and play AC on. I do, however, feel the game is pretty new still and it would be kinda disappointing if they released it anytime soon for the New 3DS or something. But then I wonder what other sort of handheld they'd come up with. And of course with that being said, since the New 3DS is SO new, it would mean a new AC might not be out for a VERY long time. Hmmm....
Edit: I also just learned that it is available on phones now. I hate that. I hate that a lot.

I'm hoping for at least an announcement this e3. I want them to take as long as possible to make it perfect but I want to know they are at least already working on something.
I wonder if New Leaf is a signal that Animal Crossing is more suited and more successful on handhelds. The main reason we won't see a Pokemon console RPG is because those games sell the system and are more suited to the handhelds.
I know they've always made Animal Crossing games for consoles every generation but I'm wondering if they see how successful it is on handhelds and if it will lead to more focus on keeping iterations on handhelds. I doubt they'll make one for New 3DS and wouldn't be surprised if they made one for Wii U.
That said, it seems Animal Crossing is a big handheld system seller and I don't know if it would have the same impact as a home console version does.
they are.
with new leafs popularity, its fair to say the AC franchise has moved up to nearly the likes of mario/pokemon/zelda, which they're always working on.
its been nearly two and a half years since new leafs initial release in japan, obviously the AC team is going to be working on another AC game at this point.
and dont give me any 'the AC team is working on splatoooon!!' BS because if you actually think the entire AC team is going to be working on splatoon and only splatoon than lol. why would a successful team who work on AC, where the most recent installment was their most popular title yet, drop that entirely to go work on some new game that might not even hit off - it's not a logical decision.
they're working on a new title, you've just gotta wait until they announce it. and tbh, i'd be incredibly shocked if it doesn't apear at E3 this year.
Agreed. If the reasoning that they'd release a Wii U game to push sales, it would also make sense for them to try to make some sort of New 3DS exclusive to give people more reasons to buy it. For people who don't collect 3DSes or don't care about the few games that are likely to have a New 3DS exclusive, there's no reason to get one. It would be more worth it if a lot of popular games like AC and Pok?mon got New 3DS exclusives to justify buying it.
I think that a Wii U release makes more sense because the New 3DS continues selling because the older models are discontinued (at least here in Europe, the small one was discontinued last year already.)
Similarly to xenoblade that can only be played on New 3ds
Nope that is also exactly the reason why a New 3DS version would not make sense at all... I think that the Wii U version already is in development for around a year and that Nintendo is going to reveal it soon only to boost the sales of the Wii U more, the 3DS is not a problem at all in terms of sales so there is literally just no legit reason that they would do a sequel on the same console. They did release three different versions of the original game in Japan (each getting a slight content upgrade) but that will never happen again.
The first one was for the N64 and when it released the N64 was at the end of its life-span. So they did re-release (obviously) the GameCube version in Japan too, completely translated back to Japanese and with the new fishes and bugs only available in the GameCube version. When the e-reader came around they made a little improvement to the game and added e-reader support. But in the end, it is just the same game with some slight upgrades, so the biggest thing you could expect is a update. Nothing more than that!

I honestly feel like Animal Crossing is best played on a portable console because it opens up opportunities for StreetPass and more social aspects of the game. It would be kind of cool if they connected the Wii U release to a 3DS app that could receive SpotPass for your game, but it wouldn't really make up for everything.
May i remind you of the process power and capabilities of the Wii U, there could be a lot more content added. I would enjoy a console version far more than a portable version for sure, but a portable version is fun too because you can play it on the go! Just like Smash Bros. for 3DS and Smash Bros. Wii U, the Wii U tends to be a improvement from the 3DS version (I like Smash run a lot more than Smash tour though.)
