What's the difference between vanilla and welcome amiibo?

It was simply so good compared to all the games before it that it's almost hopeless we will ever get a new AC this fucking amazing ever again

>No other game since
>"It didn't kill it guys"

How did it kill the series you stupid mongoloid nigger? God damn how can someone who posts stuff as fucking stupid as you survive on a daily basis.

Are you mentally fucking ill?

Nintendo launched New Leaf in 2011 after City Folk in 2008. We weren't going to see a new Animal Crossing until 2015 or 2016 at the earliest, and Wii U was a massive SHIT flop. What were they going to do? Release a new AC on Wii U? No. They launched Amiibo Shitival and Happy Home Designer while they shifted focus to Splatoon and Animal Crossing for Switch because Wii U is a dead ass platform. Now AC is coming this year for Switch.

You stupid fucking idiot.

God damn I'd slap you so hard.

>new game literally coming out this year
>2 spin-offs released meanwhile
You can fuck off now faggot

... We're getting a new one this year.

New Leaf came out in 2013 in the states. And we're getting a new AC this year.

Because it's so good they can't think how to top it

Amiibo patch is in the cart instead if having it download separately.

>The game selling well is more important than the game being good

Yeah, just like Metroid Prime 4, huh? Smoke and mirrors, stop coping

y did new leaf kill the series guys?

we gettin new ac this year but why is the series dead guys? its been 6 years its dead

it was only 5 years between city folk and new leaf, 6 years between new leaf and switch

its dead
wow
why is it dead
guys its so dead.... its over

It ruined the series and now every game onward will be exactly like it. Missing the whole point of the series to begin with.

Why AC fan so violent?

And what was the point, nigger?

Splatoon killed AC, not New Leaf.

I'd rather them take a longer time to make it a good game than release it now and make it flop, desu.

I know, I would slap the fucking shit out of them.

Your own fault nigger. It was obviously a Pokémon GO cashgrab and you still fell for it like the complete retard that you are.

It didn’t kill the series, it’s just in hibernation because the team that works on it also works on splatoon.
Continually adding content to the splatoon games for a year+ after their release keeps them too busy for animal crossing.

god I wish villagers talked to me like this

How did they fuck you with Pokemon last year? There were Tina of games on the 3ds and did they even ever say gen 8 would come last year?

It's literally because the dev team did two Splatoon games after it and they got the brilliant idea of doing two AC spin-offs after Splatoon 1 instead of a main AC game for the Wii U.
It should be a lot steadier from now on.

New Leaf sucked and Switch version is most likely going to copy it.

Cope

Let it die, and end yourself if you've bought more than one of these pieces of trash.

>single handedly saved the series

Sure user, lets pretend that Isabelle did not save animal crossing from dying

You think it'll be a direct sequel?

it is in this specific conversation you dumb ADD zoomer bitch

I think because how well ACNL sold. They will look at that like ACNL was a good step in the right direction and not a step back.

god I hope they don't just sequel new leaf by having it maintain the same gimmick and go further with it

I want a whole new gimmick, I don't want more control over everything, the games were fun because the world didn't revolve around you and what you want

>Do you think that we will get a proper game this time around?
Probably not.

Possibly not, but I would like it at least if the world and building and such was real sized with the botw style of perspective/character control.

sounds fucking awful

It's possible given nintendo's recent trend of trying to shake things up with the franchises,
Like they've been attempting to one up themselves with their main line games recently, odyssey, breath of the wild and smash ultimate as examples.
If they give the same treatment to AC we should expect to see an attempt at an "animal crossing ultimate" so to speak, so it could honestly go anywhere IMO.
I'm not too sure on the change of camera angle though, it's kinda become the identity of the franchise, to make so a drastic change would be to make it less recognisable to itself.
Plus it was comf and as a series veteran I'm not sure how I'd feel about such a change.
I'm open to new ideas though, last thing I want is for this franchise to become stagnant.

99% of the time when people say
>why did x kill the series?
they mean
>why did this game i dont like did so well commercially?

Just my view on it really, I hightly doubt it would happen. After the LA reveal im pretty sure we will get something like that + they didnt reveal anything in the direct so yeah

>nunintendo fans: every game should be BoTW
fucking cancer

This ^

cope ;)

BOTW style AC sounds fucking retarded but I have been asking for an AC that's styled like the Mario Kart map as a sort of pipe dream.

I want some damn new maps to live in for sure. I'm tired of the same coastal village with a river flowing through. It's a series that bases half its gameplay off visiting others so allowing people to live in different regions, biomes, or whatever is a great way to do just that. Each could have their own different fish, insects and so on along with their own exclusive activities so people actually have shit to do when they visit each other.

Maybe make it a Minecraft-like

I said character control/perspective but not gameplay. I would prefer if everything was real sized and possibly was in the mario kart style like in the pics

This would be a nice change of pace

This is the first HD AC so I bet we'll get something that, at least, looks like that.

>Remove everything that makes the series appeal to people to make it a shitty building game
How's it feel to be this stupid?

hi zfg

I dont think cope is an action you can do in AC 2019.

Please play Dragon Quest Builders.

Larger villages with buildings and objects closer to being full-sized could be pretty neat, maybe with different village styles. Giving you the option between more forested, typical villages, something more urban or whatever could be pretty interesting. Though it might be better if that was random was well, but I don't really know.

Maybe add in caves like people talked about ACNL having for a while. Where'd that rumour come from?

It would be fun

>Where'd that rumour come from?
Probably from ore

No, not really. If Metroid Prime 4 kept not meeting the level they wanted it to be on, I'm glad they delayed it instead of releasing a game they themselves don't think is good. So if AC will be in the same situation, it would suck, but not as much as finally getting a new Animal Crossing but it being really bad.

It's something that should've happened years ago and they still refuse to do it. We don't need some big sandbox map like BoTW or Minecraft, just give us some maps with different characteristics for one. Like how about a town where half the map is water and villagers can build have house boats or some shit? Insects wouldn't be as plentiful but you'd have fishing and scuba diving along with activities to make up for the lack of actual real estate. What about a mountain region with some actual topography like ledges and cliffsides? There's so much they could be doing in terms of overall map design and they won't. If the Switch game is more of the same of what we've gotten the last three games then I may have to drop the series until they finally get a clue.

The thing is does AC really need this and would it make it any better?
AC is not a game where you fight things or do adventure-y stuff
I mean they could make the game world bigger and I think that's a decent idea but they'd also have to fill it with more stuff
Like maybe you could expand your village's size and have more villagers in it but just making the game more like BoTW is a pretty dumb idea

Sounds fun and cool, I'd honestly like this but I think nintendo is afraid of making a situation were someone might not be able to finish the game because have to depend on other people to get everything and they don't know anyone who owns the game and has the biome they need.

I want them to add cooking as an activity, with a recipe book that you can fill out like the encyclopedias, maybe even add a grocery store/restaurant with a new npc or Wendell where you can buy ingredients or dishes to eat on the spot. The food could give you various limited time buffs like increased luck, movement speed, higher chance of finding rare creatures, friendship increases faster, etc.. There could be high tier dishes with rare ingrediants that could invoke a certain npc to visit the town the next day, like you leave the dish in a container near the town tree and the smell attracts them, so you wouldn't have to pray to RNGesus for the nps you want to come by. You could even gift dishes to other animals and shit. If they're gonna make all the villagers talk about food, might as well make it related to the fuckin game and add it as an actual mechanic.

If they added in an actual reason to do it, being able to use certain furniture pieces to cook food, watch tv or do other things like that could be neat.

Was better

better than that little sidewalk of stores that you couldnt do anything with. Even tortimer island was dull. Shouldve had more external projects that upgrade space and activities in an area. I liked NL but it was genuinely dull

Attached: convo.jpg (781x593, 75K)

They could always work around like being able to buy certain insects and such that you're missing. That sounds stupid but it could be a possible work around for say insects that can only be found in a certain biome.

Less dull than Shitty Folk.

What if they saw the success of Stardew Valley and added added in farming and exploration? and slimes

>Pokemon
>Nintendo
lol, shift your anger towards Game Freak

And dating sim

After Splatoon success I can see Nintendo and Angry Old Man giving the team more freedom.

Being able to assign a garden somewhere around the village would be cool, or maybe even treating the whole village like a garden where you can grow things and have like an outside space to place furniture.
Would be interesting to have a crop system that literally takes days to grow stuff, coming back to water it once a day or whatever.
Though for sake of comfort they should probs have the crops just not grow further without watering, not have them wither and die if you miss days.

I am getting new 2DS soon and my old save is dead. Do you think I should just wait till new Animal Crossing (september release I think) or just fuck it and start new village?

Not user you're replying to but it was variety for me. NL has variety of things to do but the villager variety took a huge nose dive. More villagers than ever but they're all fundamentally the same. Neutering the personalities and their lines made the whole thing stale much faster. I ended up just getting my favorites and then ignoring them for the most part after a few months. I don't mind Isabelle but NL villagers are basically window dressing.

I hope next Animal Crossing flops hard so Nogami and his team never comes back to it again. We need their genius elsewhere, making new and exciting games.

Isabelle wrote this

You should probably wait, by the time september rolls around you'd be heavily ingrained in your current game and you'd probably not want to start again, I still happily play my like 6 year old new leaf town.
I avoided selling it because I figured there'd be a new AC on the horizon back when they added town selling and my guess was right so I'm super glad I never sold.
Starting again only for a new AC to be coming out woulda sucked imo

But how will I see all the socks and shoes I've bought

OLD GOOD

look at your feet silly

Why the long legs though?

But... but... New Leaf didn't come out in 2011...

I'm being mostly facetious but there was a stylistic charm to the original character designs and I think it kinda go lost over the years
also the characters have long bodies to show their shirt designs off better, weirdly long arms and legs would just look weird and the small body would make any shirt deigns condensed comparatively
though I think the villagers design is the way it is because of the camera perspective, they had to make things visible especially on a screen like the DS so maybe an up in graphics means they wont need to do that anymore and we can get a more classic look to the villiger or something new and less long in the body

Minor error by Chad. Only nerds like you think about numbers!

How did you mindlessly avoid all media, previews or tell-tale signs of LG being a shit shallow spin off cash grab of Go and old titles? Are you actually blind?

All I want is for villagers to have actual personality again.

This

Because they definitely won't go back to the old design and I am legitimately annoyed that there are so many shoes and socks in the game that you can't see. I ain't paying for a two pixel row, Nintendo.

with nintendo of america's localization team they're all gonna talk about food even if they have more personality, probably throw in some memes too cant wait for a villager to mention fortnite

They're so nice. Once I took a break for a week and came back and everything was normal... Nobody got angry, nobody was depressed, nobody really noticed my absence at all. It was awful. It's the exact opposite reason I play.

>AC5 will have more shallow villagers again because villagers take away time that could be spent shilling Isabelle

Too much change for Nintendo, they would never pull off something like that as much as the series needs a new dose of... well, everything.

I just don't want to be the mayor again, let us be a normal-ass citizen

I want Isabelle to have a minor role in the next one. She cute, but I'm tired of her.

inb4 that one faggot tries to pretend you can stop being Mayor after a year shows up again

honestly a smart move to keep isabelle and put things back as they were would be to have isabelle be the mayor, she basically did all the work anyway so just have the player be able to come and suggest changes to her maybe have them have to get petitions filled out from other villagers to get certain things done
I think they probably plan on doing this anyway, it's the most logical course of action beyond keeping the player the mayor but I really hope they don't do that

That'd be a good idea, honestly.

If Isabelle becomes the mayor I hope we finally get to yiff her.

It's better than Wild World in retrospect, but the only things it has over NL is the framerate and better town layouts.

Thats fucking genius

I'd like to retract this post, I misread

Here is my idea for animal crossing- you take over the business of a private detective and have an option to solve spontaneously generated mysteries such as 'what happened to Fauna's purse' or 'where did Ankha move to' or 'who took the ice cream.' You will be able to deduce answers if you visit the town often, speak to people regularly, and know what everyone's normal routine is and what's new or suspicious. Also there will be a few clues about but it should be more about deduction from what you already know. The 'event' will happen in real time, so you might even witness part of it in action.

You will have the option to present your conclusion or not do anything and let it pass. If you get it right you get bells and respect of villagers, who will bring you steadily trickier problems. If you get it wrong, it will sour their opinion of you. The detective stuff should all be light in tone. Like Bianca thinks Punchy is acting shady lately, so you follow him, and find that he is, but it's because he's planning a surprise birthday party for Bianca. Maybe Red is a thief doing minor stuff you can catch sometimes.

I think it works because it plays into AC's greatest strength, which is you just want to hang around and talk to people. It will reward the player by giving an undercurrents of happening that you are rewarded for being observant.
