I read something recently which lead me to suspect that Animal Crossing will not be on Wii U. Something about the producer thinking the series is better suited to handhelds. And considering how much work it would take to update all of the assets from 3DS resolutions to HD, I wouldn't be surprised to see it skip Wii U.

I'm fairly confident of a Animal Crossing for Wii U coming out next year

Wii U needs some heavy hitters to get sales up in Japan, and if you haven't noticed, Animal Crossing is huge in Japan

If they didn't release one on Wii U, they're missing a big change to get some good sales from Japan


Wii U is a lost cause in Japan. If it was going to rebound there Mario Kart 8 and Smash would've done it. 

Animal Crossing didn't even sell that great on the Wii in Japan. 

They like Animal Crossing ... but on handhelds. Not on console. Same goes with things like Monster Hunter. 

Nintendo is just playing out the string on the Wii U in Japan, I think they know full well it's going to be their lowest selling console there.
