Animal Crossing 2!!!!!!!

December 12, 2002 - Japanese lifestyle magazine Sabra scored an interview with game designer Shigeru Miyamoto -- and true to the master's ways, he managed to leak out information about a new game in a place where nobody would think to look. According to Miyamoto, Nintendo is hard at work on a sequel to Animal Crossing, scheduled for release in Japan in 2003.

The Nintendo designer did not elaborate whether the new game would be a full-fledged sequel or an enhanced edition, similar to the step from Animal Forest for N64 to Animal Forest + in Japan. The US version of the GameCube hit, known as Animal Crossing actually contains many features not found in the Japanese edition, such as the ability to download NES games to the Game Boy Advance, the password trade option, and localized events.

Animal Forest + (Animal Crossing) sold almost 600,000 copies in Japan according to sales tracking firm Media Create, making it the third best-selling title for the console after Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Mario Sunshine. Depending on which form this sequel takes, expect the title to be announced for the US market sometime next year.

Another Animal Crossing! Kick ass! I love the original! The main things I want to see are actual 'Cube graphics, **** loads of new items , and the biggest one I want is Online Play where people can move into your town and you can interact with them if they are online at the same time. If not that, then the ability to have 4 people in the town at once and not have to take turns like you have to now.

Sounds interesting. Online play would be really cool for a game like AC.

GameMaster · 12-12-2002, 08:18 PM

I also really like AC. I as well, would love to see the sequel be online enhanced.

Animal Crossing 2 has serious potential...

Stuff it needs in order to be awesome:

Should be a full-fledged sequel (not just be Animal Crossing 1.1)
Should have an all new engine (no N64 graphics this time around)
Needs Online play (this game would be perfect for online play)

Who here concurs with me?

BlueFire · 12-21-2002, 11:00 PM

Hm

Already a WHOLE new game?

Shouldn't they just make some expansion?

...but ONLINE PLAY would own.

Hmm wouldn't it be cool if you could at least use your AC1 data in AC2? Like... ehm continuing your village or something... (I dunno how the game works... stupid NOE)

In Japan, people could send in their '64 Animal Forest(AC) mem. card and have it transferred to a 'Cube mem. card(for AF+). They WILL(because it just seems so dumb to not) allow you to "move" into AC2 if they bring it to the US/Europe.
