My friend, you have forgotten something. 

 

Splatoon 1.5, as they call 2 in some circles, was not a hugely different game. It was likely not as huge an undertaking as the Zelda team going from Skyward to Breath of the Wild. They might have had to put in less time, and given also how early on and long we'd been seeing trailers of the game it was likely one of the earlier finished products for the Switch. 

How dare you insult Splatoon 2! 

Anyway I see your point. However do not forget that they still have to support Splatoon 2 with new content for about a year. That will keep a few resources busy. So the only way I can see Animal Crossing come out next year and say wiith 100% certainty is if they had two teams i.e handheld and home console teams. However the Animal Crossing spinoffs came out in 2015. My prediction is holidays 2018 to early 2019. I expect it to be announced in E3 2018. If Nintendo has some other big game like 2D mario then Nintendo might delay Animal Crossing just to fill up 2019's early year.

If I had to put it in percentages on what the chances are for what year they will release them game it will be 20% chance to release in  2018.  80% chance to release in 2019.   

Given Splatoon 2 is my second most played Switch game (behind Zelda), I have no problems with it. 

 

I was just using the criticisms of the title to argue in favor of Animal Crossings 2018.



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?
