Who knows, a September announcement for a march release would fit with their forecast for the fiscal year.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to get you hopes up !

E3 would still make more sense in that case. at this point it'd sooner be Daemon X Machina and/or Fire Emblem between January-March. Not saying it's impossible of course, we did get Zelda TPHD announced in the fall then released following March, though that's a much lower tier game. New installments from Nintendo's major IPs have pretty much always had E3 appearances before release.

That's exactly what you're doing though. :L

Sorry for that :P

But seriously, with Nintendo’s marketing startegy, I doubt we’ll get an AC announcement at an E3. For past 3 years, they used E3’s show floor to focus on a specific title, Smash this year, Mario Odyssey last year and BOTW the year before. AC may be one of the current strong IP for Nintendo, the game in itself isn’t suited to generate attention on a show floor like the 3 others. A small announcement during the E3 direct ? Why not, I doubt Nintendo would allocate a full booth for this game.

I think a “one more thing” teaser in a Direct would be enough to generate hype till they unveiled the game in the next Direct.
