No way, me thinks they woulda revealed it at E3 if they were going to announce it outside of it's release year. Stop trying to get my hopes up! xP

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 !

Both sites do have some history....... but we will find out in less that 24hrs

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.

It is not my intention to get your hopes up, but in my opinion, this E3 logic for Animal Crossing does not make sense.

This is the TGS week, and Nintendo does not attend to TGS, and when they want to announce something directed to japanese people during TGS, they do on Directs. And Animal Crossing is a colossal game in Japan, much bigger than in the rest of the world.

Not thay i believe it will be annouced tomorrow.

I really hope its not the same direct we were going to get last week. We know everything already lol

I do not know how big or important is the announcement of Civilization VI but I hope that Nintendo has reserved some more surprise regarding the third party. By the way, at this point I'm surprised that Capcom has not yet announced the twenty-ninth port of Resident Evil 4, this time for Switch! it will be tomorrow?

I dont think thats happening unfortunelly.If Retro game is indeed that rumored Star Fox game, Nintendo wont announce it now as to not conflict with Starlink.It would be an unnecessary friction betwenn the two games.

But if that rumour is not true, or Retro is working on more than one game, I can see it happening.

So what's the truth, or are you actually saying the E3 direct isn't apart of E3 lel? A game can appear at E3 even if it's not on the showfloor at all as has been the case before. Nintendo's new way of framing their E3s hasn't changed this nor that their biggest games get an E3 appearance before release. Last edited by Lonely_Dolphin - on 12 September 2018
