| Soundwave said: Will be a launch title for the Fusion platform in 2016. Maybe Wii U will get a port, but I doubt it. Earlier in the year Nintendo seemed iffy on whether or not it would be for Wii U or some "future hardware": http://www.polygon.com/2014/3/28/5555682/animal-crossing-interview-new-console-version-smartphones "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." |
That's terrible information for me. So sad to see it. The console experience is so awesome. Even if it means that I have to watch my roommate or gf play the game while they take care of their "chores." It creates a great sense of community in a household. It also rewards early risers who get to get out there and snag fossils. I really hope that information they posted is just typical Nintendo denial.
