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":

"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.

Well Fusion will likely be different hardware variants that all play the same games. So there almost certainly will be a home variant ... so you'll be able to play at home if you want (and buy the home version). It just won't be on Wii U, which is basically a lost cause for Nintendo at this point anyway.

WiiU is most certainly not a lost cause. Plenty of games soon to come. People have been sticking a fork in the system since it released (and in Nintendo before last gen). Zelda U is still on the horizon, as are a plethora of really fun games. The sales may not be there to support third parties, but there are plenty of consoles in the wild to support Nintendo's first party efforts...which is what Nintendo fans do anyway.
