Just to make a small observation: Animal Crossing is very likely a Summer game, not a Winter game, simply because of its social nature.While Nintendo would want to people to pay the online to have acess to the game online features, because lets face it, the game will double down on it, but part of the game appeal is to go out and meet people playing the game and play together.
That hasn't stopped Nintendo from releasing Animal Crossing games during the holidays before. I mean it's not like everyone who's gonna buy the game will do so on release day so that idea holds little weight. That they didn't show gameplay makes me think it's a late year release, but we'll see of course!

Its more to give the game more traction, by releasing it on a time of the year that may make more sense for it.Like Nintendo did for Pokemon GO, though that game needed that incentive more for obvious reasons.Not that Animal Crossing would fail in any capacity if it werent released in Summer, but its a nice incentive.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
