If they plan to do Animal Crossing really well wouldn't that take awhile to make though? I mean you don't usually get a big game revealed with no teaser or rumours prior and have game released within a few months. We knew about 3D World, DKCTF was delayed, Captain Toad was a small game and didn't release in EU/AU until the New Year...

They've hinted at Animal Crossing:

Animal Crossing is not as a strong game as a Smash, MK8, or Legend of Zelda. If you ask me, it's a little bit of a let down compared to those franchises :-/. Although it debuted on the GC... It's console releases are rather weak compared to it's handheld reiterations:

1 Animal Crossing: Wild World DS 2005 Simulation Nintendo 2.48 3.41 5.33 0.87 12.08
2 Animal Crossing: New Leaf 3DS 2012 Action Nintendo 1.58 1.69 4.02 0.34 7.63
3 Animal Crossing: City Folk Wii 2008 Simulation Nintendo 1.81 1.11 1.32 0.36 4.60
4 Animal Crossing GC 2001 Simulation Nintendo 1.92 0.16 0.99 0.09 3.15

That's almost 20 million combined for Handhelds compared to 7-8 million on consoles. Even on the Wii it failed to make 5 million.  Releasing AC as a top gun for the holidays is just setting the Wii U for even more failure. BUT it as a SECONDARY selling game with Zelda U being the main attraction might be enough for a better Xmas than last years.

Here's hoping every Ninty fans gut feeling of Zelda being delayed is dead wrong... :P

That's the thing though, Nintendo have done an atrocious job of selling the Wii U so far, so it's entirely likely, based on their recent past, that they may make even more stupid decisions going forwards.

Don't get me wrong, I'd be deeply disappointed if they wasted their time and resources on a Wii U Animal Crossing. But hey, they did it for Tropical Freeze; a great game, but one that nobody asked for.

I still think Zelda will most likely come out this year, but it's by no means a lock.

your saying animal crossing u is a waste

hell no

in fact I want a full fledge hd animal crossing

kinda got tired of new leaf about a month ago(bought it with a 3ds at launch)



Bets:

(Won)Bet with TechoHobbit: He(Techno) says 10 million by January 1,2014 I say 9 million by then. Winner gets 2 weeks of sig control.

(Lost)Bet with kinisking: I say Ps4 will win April NPD while he says Xbox One will win it; winner gets 1 week of avatar control.

I don't think making Animal Crossing for Wii U would be a good investment, no. I do suspect it is coming, though. Their last console without one was what, the SNES?

animal crossing didnt  evem exist on the snes XD

but to tell you the truth nintendos main sellers are selling better than expected(witht the exception of dk)

so I say it can outsell the gcn version

They are, but the resources  it would take to make a HD Animal Crossing would be better spent on something that will shift more hardware and software, in my opinion.

Like what?

If that is the case then they should have saved their resources on the new zelda and put it towards a 3ds zelda

because thats gonna make more money right?

It's about long term as well as short term profit; not making a Wii U Zelda would cause fan disappointment that would damage sales of their future systems.

You really think Wii U going without Animal Crossing would have the same backlash as it going without Zelda? Really?

The list looks great to me! Splatoon must be coming sooner than later. They are advertising it on the eshop. I wonder if that means we should be getting more info in a Nintendo Direct soon. Hopefully before E3. Either this or Devils 3rd will be my go to shooter for a while.
