Has a Animal Crossing for Wii U already been announced? Why is there so much hope for you that this will come to the Wii U?


When the Animal Crossing Plaza was closed on WiiU they said we would have more animal crossing exciting news for 2015, and looking the huge sucess of New Leaf is easy to think on a AC for WiiU.

Nope, hasn't been announced. Probably for good reason too. 

The producer of the series said last year Animal Crossing works better on handhelds, and they were looking into a Wii U version but it could also end up on some "future" Nintendo platform (hint hint, clue clue).

Animal Crossing has never missed a system since launching on the GameCube and the developers teased that they had news regarding the series in 2015.

"The current gameplay style of Animal Crossing is best suited for a portable device," Eguchi said, "but if we were to create an Animal Crossing for a home console, I think we would really have to invent a new style that's suitable for the platform. The environment in which the player is playing the game is very important, so we need to think that through before we start creating something like that.

"We might not have been able to do that for Wii," he said, "but whether it's the Wii U or a future hardware, it's important to think about what environment the player will be in."


To me this sounds like while they were considering a Wii U version, this thing is going to end up on the next handheld. Nintendo does not casually mention "future hardware" like that in interviews all that often.

I think AC being on Wii U was largely dependant on Wii U sales exploding post-MK and Smash, and while they are better, they are still mediocre.

Which likely makes this a fairly easy decision for Nintendo.

Animal Crossing + Mario Galaxy 3 is a can't miss 1-2 launch window for the next Nintendo handheld. If Nintendo is smart, they will do that.



I don't care if it outsells Zelda or not, I just want Animal Crossing on Wii U.



I think Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem will be moved to the next handheld as well (maybe Wii U will get a port if its easy to do). This is why Nintendo is deathly quiet about the game even though it was announced two years ago. 

This is going to be like the GameCube, where a lot of late gen GCN projects like Twilight Princess, Super Paper Mario, and Fire Emblem started off as GCN games, but ended up on the Wii.

And to be honest you can't really knock the decision, leaving Twilight Princess only the GCN would've been stupid. That game sold easily double the number it would have because Nintendo put it on Wii. Super Paper Mario also enjoyed highly inflated sales thanks to being in the Wii launch window. If you remove Zelda and Super Paper Mario from the Wii launch window, the lineup would've been very, very poor too, there would be like a 6-7 month drought between Wii Sports/Excitetruck/Wario Ware and not much else in between.

I think you're trying a bit too hard to read between lines here as nothing indicates what you're implying he's just giving a general statement even just read the whole sentance for a start he's talking about adjusting AC's gameplay on the home console versions which makes sense as the game right now suits playstyle that is pick up and play in bite size chunks, it's almost certain the AC on even the U's userbase would hit around 3m LT. The will be an AC on the U and nothing you've posted indicates otherwise.



Has AC Wii U even been confirmed?
