#1 Edited by kickinthehead (70 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

WHOO HOO! Wait, there's cosplaying in Animal Crossing now, or am I just out of touch?

Animal Crossing? In 3D?

I'm in.

#4 Posted by BadNews (429 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Bunnie will fuck your shit up.

Also if anyone has a 3DS these trailers for 3DS games are in the estore in 3D! Now you can feel Bunnie's unadulterated rage.

swimming!!

#6 Posted by pickassoreborn (489 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

I have bought every single version of Animal Crossing. They've all been slightly different.

It's a good job the 3D melts my brains otherwise I'll be buying this too!

SWIMMING OMG

Be Tom Nook's bitch in 3 dimensions!

Playa is the maya

Also this looks Animal Crossing to me. Call me when they make a new one that actually makes improvements to the structure.

HOLY FUCK YOU CAN SWIM

#10 Posted by VincentVendetta (158 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Those new characters models look odd... I mean they may be just taller, but I'm still freaking out!
 
Also it's gonna take a lot more than swimming to make me come back to this series.

#11 Posted by The_Nubster (1540 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

It looks peaceful. I hope there's more to do than in Animal Crossing for the Wii, I was really disappointed with that. 
 
I'll probably buy it for my mom, she loves AC. Also, is it just me or is there something really weird about the male character model. . .?

#12 Posted by ImperiousRix (2933 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Aw yeah, Animal Crossing. 
Great... now that makes me want to go play Wild World again.  My duders are going to be so upset I've been gone for so long...

#13 Edited by GodsMistakeXx (134 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Damnit stop giving me reasons to want to buy the 3DS I cannot afford it! 
 
EDIT: Is it weird that the fact he can swim might have just sold me entirely on a 3DS haha.

#14 Edited by Chewii101 (810 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Damn you Nintendo. Starfox, Paper Mario and now this? Damn you. 
 
I hope Nook doesnt come to break my legs.

Animal Crossing 3DS: now with swimming and stalkers!

#16 Posted by Dark_Lord_Spam (2518 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

WHAT SWIMMING MY MIND IS BLOWN.

#17 Posted by JJOR64 (18127 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Looks great.  Really hope it's better then City Folk.  City Folk was disappointing.

#18 Posted by Trebz (487 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

The character models are too tall. Video games have failed. 
 
Seriously though, it does look kind of weird.

#19 Posted by Doonee63 (88 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

SWIMMING

#20 Posted by Xpgamer7 (2259 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

I hope they make it more Harvest Moon like.

#21 Posted by Sparky_Buzzsaw (4922 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

The music accompanying this video is just superb. I like Animal Crossing, and haven't played one since, so this might be something I pick up.

Character are too tall, even as someone who has played AC once or twice this looks odd.

#23 Posted by RecSpec (3060 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

My brother said that it looked like they grew up. Made my day, I couldn't stop laughing.

#24 Edited by MeatSim (9311 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Is Tom Nook still a cut throat loan shark?

#25 Posted by UnrealDP (1207 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Literally the small box that confines my mind exploded once he plunged into that water!
#26 Posted by TheMustacheHero (6654 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Looks like you get an "adoring fan" type deal...

#27 Posted by samsaturday (90 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Oh DAYYMMNNN! Mushroom collecting and swimming!!!

#28 Posted by elko84 (869 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

You've always been able to design and wear different t-shirts. The DS version added hats you could wear, so yeah, this is nothing new.

#31 Posted by paulunga (1413 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Holy shit, swimming. Fucking game changer.

No, this is actually just yet another Animal Crossing game. From someone who's bought the first three, fuck you, Nintendo.

#32 Posted by MjHealy (1423 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Hey! Where did this come from? Also, wait, they seemed to have actually changed some stuff this time around.

Sold.

#33 Posted by Vexxan (4553 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

The guy at 0:22 is totally stoned, man.

#34 Posted by craigbo180 (1739 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Swimming.... swimming! God damn! What does this mean? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!

#35 Posted by YoungFrey (1210 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

I don't know why somebody hasn't properly ripped of AC yet.  Farmville is honestly a fair step in that direction.  Somebody just needs to strip out the repetitive dialog, streamline some interactions, and add in a bit more intereactivity.  Huge hit.  The end. 
#36 Posted by Babylonian (832 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

Animal Crossing. Animal Crossing never changes.

There's so much Nintendo needs to do with this title to actually make it a success, but they're clearly not willing to put in the effort.

Looks like the same old with nothing to deepen the experience in any new ways. Still waiting to see if it's worth getting the 3DS to play this.

#39 Edited by Contrarian (1143 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

As long as the game still allows me to act like a 12 year old ....... I'm sold:

#40 Posted by MormonWarrior (1581 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago

I really hope they make some major changes and add a ton of new stuff. The DS/Wii games were solid enough, but I had no interest in them due to how much I played the GameCube game.

#41 Posted by NekuCTR (1620 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago

When are we likely to hear about this game again?
