So lately i've been given a mean hankering for some comfy lifesim vidya. So i took my weed ridden ghost town cart and rest it to start the New leaf experience over again. I'm enjoying it far more than Pocket Camp but still really hope those rumours of a Switch game this Christmas are true.
What are you hoping to see in the new console release in the series? Personally i want to see:
>Not just one town but a series of towns connected along a coastline or around a forest. You can ride a train, bus or a moped to the other towns and townsfolk can move around them.
>Friends on your friends list can choose to have each others town uploaded online so another town on your circuit of towns will be theirs and update when they connect.
>Or a single large online town where you can play online or locally with friends
>More complex towns and design choices. More urban or countryside options based on player tastes
>Secrets and addons to the towns e.g: getting to the islands and getting flippers means accessing an island off the beach you cannot usually access for rare items or unlock a new area you can then build a bridge to to expand your town
>House layouts instead of one big room
>Money making options like farming or designing clothes sold in other players games by the able sisters
What do you want?

Question: Never played much of this series before. Only the GameCube one, but that one doesn't count. I was a kid back then, rented it for week from BlockBuster, but didn't have a big memory card and couldn't save anything. I kept having to replay the same first day over and over again……
A-anyways, my question is that can I just skip all the games that don't have Isabelle? I'm probably just get one or two AC games and she seems to be the face of the series now. Even popular enough to appear in Mario Kart as the series' representative instead of the Villager.

The 3DS one is generally regarded as the best one, but not without it's downsides. There's a bit more to do in this one than the other ones, but the writing is pretty braindead, as the animals love talking about nothing more than food, and grinding for shekels was made way too easy. Really, personally, I see the Wii and DS ones as just inferior versions of the 3DS one, while the N64/GC one is different in some ways.

You realize Animal Crossing has already become one of the guaranteed IP releases Nintendo does for any hardware they touch right?
It's not even if, it's a when and it'll probably be released a few months after Smash and slightly before whatever sports spinoff they release involving Mario, I'm guessing it'll be something stupid like football.
>having that type of game on the go
The Switch is not portable; on the go is a marketing meme

Nintendo hasn't managed to utilize the touchscreen well in an Animal Crossing game ever.

It's just big enough to not fit in a normal sized pocket, even with the joycons not attached.
The joycons themselves have exposed trigger buttons and analog sticks that, while not immediate, would wear significantly over time if traveling in any significantly "portable" manner.
If you have to carry a backpack with all your shit to play a console it isn't "portable".

Smash Bros. is just as popular as Animal Crossing. Tatsumi Kimishima stated earlier this year that he wanted to sell 20 million Switches this year. If Nintendo releases both Animal Crossing and Super Smash Bros this year around November, then it's a very probable projection.

>The 3DS one is generally regarded as the best one
I'd say it's the one with the most direction, and that can go a long way. Compare with Magician's Quest/Enchanted Folk/Tongari Boushi. It takes the Animal Crossing format and gives the game an actual theme and suddenly it has more character than most of the Animal Crossing games. New Leaf touched on this by giving a more town management direction rather than a random villager in random town.
>as the animals love talking about nothing more than food
A side note, I've often seen this blamed on Treehouse localization around here, but the past few weeks I've been playing it in nip and it's like that in the original too, unfortunately.

It'd be a pain in the ass to get, probably, due to having to dig through media create sales, that's always a pain. But I get the feeling that, with Smash, it would mostly appeal to a few holdovers who were specifically waiting for Smash as the right time to pick the console up, but with AC, it might reach a new audience of a lot of casuals and vaginas. Seems like that's what happened with New Leaf, at least.

My statistics-autism got to me, so I decided to throw this together.
Seems like New Leaf gave the 3DS a nice bump, whereas Welcome Amiibo was insignificant. Not surprising though, since Welcome Amiibo was just a repack of the free DLC.
Smash 3DS had amazing sales, but didn't push the console, so my theory seemed right. Smash Wii U gave the Wii U a bump, but that also coincided with the holidays. And really, any release gave the Wii U a bump, even Bayonetta and fucking Captain Toad.

20 mil is far from unrealistic, considering they had sold nearly 15 mil by the end of December.
Another fun fact I found - Animal Crossing New Leaf, alongside Welcome Amiibo, together have sold 11.59 million units, only behind Mario 3D Land, NSMB2, 3 generations of Pokemon games and Mario Kart 7.
Same with the DS, where Wild World sold 11.75 million, only behind 3 gens of Pokemon, 2 Brain Age games, Nintendogs, Mario Kart and NSMB.
Doesn't seem like the same success was replicated on the Wii, though.

I'd rather they try to reign in their attempts at connecting your small countryside village with the world at large by moving most of the shops to a "city".
The first Animal Crossing was fun because it was a bit disconnected from city life.

While I agree because playing in a small rural village is what made the series fun and memorable, remember that the museum and Nook's store were part of the village until being moved into Main Street. Would you keep those in a separated city or downtown, or would you put them back into the village? I haven't touched NL in a while, so I can't decide if Re-tail was better suited for the village in place of Nook's store (which was moved to Main Street) or vice versa.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_Wii_video_games
City Folk wasn't as well received as other AC games. It was also too similar to Wild World. It only sold 4.32 million units which isn't terrible, but being the #19 sold game isn't as noticeable as other games that sold more. (Most of the top selling games were Wii Sports, Wii Play, and other Wii wagglan games.) Looking at the list, I also realized how far down I had to go to find a Pokemon game. (Battle Revolution is #47) Usually at least 1 Pokemon game on a Nintendo console will make it into the top 10 selling games on that console. (For handheld consoles, every main series game will be in the top 10.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_Wii_U_video_games
Then again Pokken didn't sell much on the Wii U being #15, though this might be partially attributed to selling the game so late in the Wii U's lifespan considering how poor Wii U sales were. Pokemon (main series) games on the handheld consoles have always driven sales no matter when they release, but not so much for the spin-offs and home console games.

>the museum and Nook's store were part of the village until being moved into Main Street. Would you keep those in a separated city or downtown, or would you put them back into the village?
I always saw the beginning of Nook's store and the branch Museum as an offshoot of what a bigger city would have. Lots of small towns have a run down shop or a gas station and some sort of small culture building.
The upper tiers of the store, where it becomes a bigger chain store Nookway and a Department store, Nookington's is where it seems like they drop the theme of "small town store" for the sake of the progression of the store.
The bigger issue with trying to fold the Museum and all the assorted shops back into a small village is that, unless they combined shops significantly, it would be too packed with all the shit they've added to the "city" portion of each game hats, shoes & socks, plant store, etc so getting rid of it at this point isn't really an option.
Doing that would open a whole different set of issues because almost no village towns really have giant multi-tiered stores with variety but at that point it would be more important to maintain the fun of the game over small thematic issues.
If I had to make a choice to fit the theme I think Re-tail as a mom and pop pawn shop fits better than the Nook store at this point.

In earlier games, yeah, he upgrades your house whether you want it or not so you live in constant debt. But I think in New Leaf he does leave you be and you do have to ask him to upgrade your house yourself. This is where the joke of "Nook is a criminal mob boss who keeps people enslaved to him with endless debt" comes from. A joke I never found funny.

Really though I can only think of ways to expand New Leaf, that game is about as perfect as Animal Crossing can be. You can refine it but the base formula is about as good as it can get.

The only issue I see with this is seasonal fish/bugs. Yeah it's a trade off to think about but I think the island fills the perpetual summer niche well enough. Maybe variable islands.
>LAN support
LAN support should still be standard anyway because it's completely retarded to need to connect to a server in Canada to play with somebody sitting on the couch next to you. Of course it's less retardation and more a need to control by the hardware devs and their paid online.
>choose what holidays are celebrated and what aren't
Why not just have Holiday sets? That works just as well without being tied to a region.
>>Mayors can designate how many villagers they want in their village, as well as designate housing zones they can move into
I'm more on board with designated housing zones as that would solve the first problem for most people.
It is infuriating to cultivate a decent number of out-of-town fruit trees and have some asshole bear drop a house right on top of it.
>You can refine it but the base formula is about as good as it can get.
Currently the problem is that they aren't refining the formula so much as they've tacked on a "city zone" and are slowly moving things there/adding things that don't fit in a village life simulator.
It's always supposed to have been a comfy game where you don't really have to do anything but there are activities.
It seems like as the series goes on they're trying to create some sort of gameplay focus and progression rather than letting it be.

Gonna have to agree that I prefer its current variable setting. It's just easier as far as growing trees, catching stuff, etc. I'm thinking an arctic island could be interesting in addition to the tropical island, but I wouldn't be sad if it weren't added.

>>14677432
>Of course it's less retardation and more a need to control by the hardware devs and their paid online.
Splatoon 2 supports LAN for tournaments, so LAN for other games shouldn't be too far-fetched. Also, many Xbox games supported LAN in 6th/7th gen despite never having free online. No idea if Xbone supports LAN or not.
>>14676969
>choose what holidays are celebrated and what aren't
I like the idea, but I think it would be better to just pick a region to live, so to speak, and just celebrate that region's holidays.
>Mayors can designate how many villagers they want in their village, as well as designate housing zones they can move into
I also like this. I've never been a city planner/organizer, but I was pissed when I had someone move in front of one of the bridges. It made walking around a huge pain.
>Nocturnal Villagers
It would be nice to have more to do at night. I'm generally a night person myself, so having all the villagers asleep was annoying. I'm too anal about keeping the time right so I never wanted to change the time so the villagers would be awake. This might upset players that don't play as much late at night or early morning, but I personally don't care.
>>14677505
>the game already had so little to do and they continued to remove even more content somehow
What are you talking about? Other than maybe the island until it was added back in NL, each release added content, even if it wasn't always noticeable or significant. It's just that the added content came with the cost of removing the game's atmosphere with the dumbed down dialogue in each subsequent release. It's why the original still gets a lot of praise and recommendation to play despite NL having the best multiplayer and more to do within the village. (And that will get fucked once 3DS online goes down unless Wiimmfi adds 3DS/WiiU support.)
The dialogue is probably NL's biggest criticism. NL is mostly praised for content and not much else. Even with the new additions I can still play the Gamecube version longer than NL because I get more immersed in it. NL just seemed to add content with little regard to much else.

can't think of any 3DS emulators aside from Citra, and your mileage may vary depending on CPU and whether you can figure out how to enable GPU-acceleration support (it's been ages since I tried so maybe it's easy now)
Wild World (DS) can be emulated in DeSmuME or probably the final version of No$GBA (the creator wants dosh for the latest version despite that he hasn't worked on it in years so pirate it too)
the Gamecube and Wii titles can be emulated in Dolphin

People tend to draw images of the villagers they've had, which is maybe an average of 10 out of 80 or so. Villagers will usually get less fanart than common characters like Isabelle, Able Sisters, or so on unless furries love to jerk off to certain popular characters. (Whitney being one of them.)
