I assume it'll be the same for NA, bummer.

Awe man! Another year? Phooey!

What about us ?

Fire Emblem was only announced for Europe originally. Now we are both getting it next year. So it's safe to assume we're getting AC next year too. Don't worry guys.

I don't play Animal Crossing, but I have to ask. How does it take THIS long to make an animal crossing game?

@TheN64Dude Because they're supposed to last for ever.

Darn. It BETTER come out in January for the US and Europe. I have waited far to long.

The first half? Awesomesauce. I was expecting later.
SWIM, BUDDY, SWIM! Dive!

I'm really excited for this, and I'm sure it'll be released in the US next year as well. But with an army of great 3DS games coming this year like Paper Mario, Luigis Mansion, and NSMB2, hopefully the wait won't be THAT bad...
Hopefully........
.......hopefully......

While I do believe Nintendo will continue to work on and polish these 2 games, it appears to me more of a strategic decision. New Super Mario Bros 2 and Luigi's Mansion 2 will do the business for the rest of 2012 so it's no surprise these games have been delayed until next year.

This is a let down, but it is going to be developed, since it was said this will be the best Animal Crossing title to be published so I hope it does.

Well, I wasnt expecting it to come this year anyway. Good to know Nintendo still knows it exists though! The fact that it's coming out in Japan this fall means I'm expecting it in January though Nintendo. >:0

Animal Crossing. I just. dont. get it.

darth vader:noooooooooooo

So, there's a couple of anticipated first party games not coming out this year, leaving a small handful of first party titles still to come (that people actually care about), but it's no problem because of all the third party AAA titles coming this year for 3DS, right...?

Considering Animal Crossing has been in development for about 3-4 years now.
Why the wait?

Good plan. AC games usually take forever to get to europe, with the NA version releasing Before or shortly after Japan's release. I think it will come to america in 2012, if not then jan 2013.

@TheAdza You. Will. Just. Have to play. It.

YaY Cant Wait actually !! 2013 Harry Up !!

Animal crossing 3DS was my most anticipated game of the year.

2013? GAAAHHHH.....

In the meantime i guess i'll just stick to playing Kingdom Hearts and Luigi's Mansion ark Moon ...

Well, I can wait. By the way: Have you guys heared the music from the 3DS Fire emblem? I heard a few tracks on youtube, and it does sound really awesome!!

It's funny those are the only two games I'm really looking forward to, and they both always get brought up at the same time lately...
