Why haven't we heard anything on a Animal Crossing game for Wii U ?

rreeeeaaaallly hope it won't be on the wii u but nintendo has a habit of crushing dreams yanno

Maybe since a console has more memory and is bigger then a handheld device, it would be better if it were on the wii u for more details like bigger towns where as the new 3DS would have complications making that possible due to its limits

I honestly wouldn't mind if we had to wait 3-5 years for a new Animal Crossing to come out. New Leaf is still as popular as when it was released, so I don't see the need for a new one just yet.

At this point I'd prefer it if Animal Crossing becomes one of those things you hear about a few years from now. Then when you see it you're all like, "oh, I almost forgot about that series!"

Plus, being that the Wii U has so much potential, I'd rather Nintendo spend years making a really great game than putting something together and tossing it out into the public in only a few months.

I'm going to disagree with the OP here. I really hope that if they are coming out with another one soon, it wil be for handheld. I've always enjoyed being able to take my game along with me, and it adds a lot to the community as well. Even if someone is out on vacation or away from home, they can still talk to their ac friends/blog/play.

There already is one so there is just no need for it...

honestly i don't think i'd enjoy an AC game on the Wii U or anything other than a DS. yeah it may not have pro retina blah blah but my god it's pretty damn clear i mean i'm not tryna figure out what stuff is cuz the quality is sooooo horrible. ofc i've never played any of the other games so i can't definitively say how i'd feel about it, but idk. maybe with the gamepad making it similar to a 3DS controls i'd like it.

Personally I'd rather see another for the 3DS. I wasn't a fan of the Wii, and my son has a Wii-U and I didn't care much for it either...

But then again, handhelds work better for me personally as my whole household plays games. I can get by with hogging up my own 3DS. Kicking my husband and kids off the Wii-U so I can be an Animal Crossing fangirl probably less likely to work. xD

Why 3DS? The only time two games were on the system was with Dobostu no mori and Dobostu no mori e+. e+ was more of an update than a second game.

The 3DS doesn't need a second. Another 3DS game would be just like New Leaf. Just like how it was with the two dobostu no moris. Just an update.

The Wii U would be a perfect system in my opinion. The graphics are amazing, I really want to see the beautiful graphics. PLUS the controls with the gamepad and Pro controler would be perfect.

Spoiler: Diagrams for how I'd prefer it

PRO CONTROLLER COMING SOON!

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.

It is true that it's only part of the AC team, but Nintendo is very adamant about keeping the workers they have instead of hiring new people all the time. They split their teams into different projects pretty frequently so it's really hard to say if they are having a whole dedicated team work on another AC. I'm sure they are working on it though, but to what extent is really the mystery.

Splatoon is pretty much done. At this point in time they're likely just doing bug fixes and polish so they don't need a big team to work on it anymore and they can be placed somewhere else but they get thrown into so many different projects that it really just depends on what they think is best put on first priority. And really if they are working on a new AC right now, if they follow the trend from last time, the announcement for it will happen a good 1-2 years before they even release it or more if they decide to delay it.
Really it's high hopes to expect it announced at E3 this year. Not impossible but it's probably not likely.

As long as I they lessen the impact of leaving the game for extended periods of time, I'm all for a Wii U version. I know there are pretty much no negative consequences if you do the right things on the 3DS version, but I just hope they keep it that way if not improve upon it.

I won't be able to play the Wii U version as easy as the 3DS one, so I hope they keep the ordinances and improve your ability to manage your villagers.

[COLOR="#3333333"]I'm hoping for the new animal crossing series to be on the handheld system since i'm not always at home. I don't mind if it's on the Wii-u, but it could be a possibility that they're working on Star Fox and Splatoon.

Either way, i'm sure they'll keep us updated, eventually. [/COLOR]
