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

Animal Crossing is huge in Japan........on handhelds

The one on GC did about 1 million and the one on Wii did about 1.3 million with 3x the install base. With Wii U doing worse than even GC and literally only having a single title over 1 million in Japan (Mario Kart will make it 2), I don't think 1 million is even possible, something like 500-800k probably and while that's not bad sales at all for a single region, wouldn't it be wiser to just release it on the next handheld where it will likely sell over 4 million like the DS & 3DS versions?
