A great update to a great game! And this is just the beginning...

Cash grab to sell more amiibos and cards. Bring us a real AC game to the Wii U!

Hurray, this saved my weekend!

Don't need more crappy Sonic games - Freedom Planet is coming to the Wii U!

I enjoy online multiplayer in Splatoon more than in MK8 and Smash together.

No. Unless Nintendo bring a real animal crossing to the Wii U these amiibos are a no buy. Vote with your wallets folks!

We don't want new hardware.

We don't want or need new hardware. Release games for the Wii U!

It's great! I have never played MC but watched some Cube Life videos on youtube to get the hang of it. When crafting you should just point to drop one item on the crafting table instead of drag and drop (moves several items at once).

Awful idea! Nuff said.

Hopefully there will be a good tutorial level before the main game.

Already signed up for Europe: Team ROCK!!!

I've said it before: double release games on NX and Wii U. That way they can sell to a 10 million user base while getting aboard customers who missed the Wii U. They should not force us to buy new hardware. Games like AC are not very hardware demanding.

If a proper AC was coming to the Wii U I would gladly buy these amiibos and cards. Not now, sorry. It's time to start voting with your wallets to send a message to Nintendo.

Nintendo should double release their games on both NX and Wii U when possible. I don't see the need for more powerful hardware for games such as Animal Crossing.

A bit off topic but if you want to learn how to program and make your own simple games, check out Scratch - a language and programming environment developed by MIT. It's free and perfect for beginners. I've had a lot of fun with it. http://scratch.mit.edu

Graphic detail is not everything. If the framerate is stable and gameplay fun I will get this if/when it comes to Europe.

Tried them all and Freedom Planet is the one I'm getting for sure.

Their use of Amiibo and cards in the Animal Crossing spin-offs is just GREEDY. No way that I'm going to buy those Amiibos unless we get a real AC game for the Wii U.

Lowest of all low points: Animal Crossing Amiibo Crap. Bring us the real game to Wii U!!

Hope they don't release it before it is ready. I'd rather wait some months after xmas to get a great starfox game.

Why can't they release the proper Animal Crossing game (that certainly is in development for NX) also along on the Wii U?

Like a double release for both NX and Wii U.

AC is not that demanding of the hardware. Probably because they want us to buy a new console. But many of us won't! Sorry Nintendo.

It's coming to the Wii U but we have transformed it into an Amiibo driven board game. Please understand.

I don't care about online for StarFox. Question is if can they maintain 60fps when displaying different views on the TV and the gamepad?

So disappointed!

Get four amiibos to play an Animal Crossing board game!!

Maybe the developers should include an Easy mode for new players?

@Cypronia. Yay!

Now wait a minute!

$6.99 (USA)
€13.99

Why the double price?

I still start the AC plaza occassionally (no longer available for download) just to zoom in on my favorite AC characters in gorgeous HD. Makes me want this game so bad! Here are three hints that it may be coming to the Wii U: the plaza, the AC attraction in Nintendoland and the AC course in MK8.

@Cypronia. I agree with Savino that local MP is most important so please make it good.

YES! I have wished for this a long time.

I don't understand. Need for Speed and Mario Kart 8 shows it is possible to make great looking driving games with smooth frame rate on the Wii U. What is the problem here?

My mother plays the first game a lot. She will get this too, no doubt.

I really hope it is good. Some of Cypronia's previous efforts got low review scores, like 2/10 for Angry Bunnies. Will check out the review first.

Fingers crossed for Animal Crossing!

It was GREAT! Made me pre-order the game.

Perhaps the NX will not even support physical discs? We don't know yet. With increased digital distribution there will not be as much need for region-locking.

First time I heard of it. Thank you NL for this interesting article!

Was on the fence for a long time but finally ordered it. The gameplay mechanic seems interesting.

Got it on disc last week for €13. It's a good game.
If you like on-rails-shooters I also recommend RE:Darkside Chronicles.

I'm positive but will wait for the review.

Bring on the Wii U version!

Some of the DLC is very overpriced like costumes and 3DS themes. Don't support it.

MK8 course packs on the other hand...

I have been careful at selecting games, reading reviews first. Now I have 25 titles on the Wii U (full games, not eshop). Will probably also pick up Kirby, Splatoon and Wolly World. So at the end of the consol's life cycle I expect to have 30-35 really good games. That's enough for me.

Wow! I'm very interested in this game.

I haven't played the original so a 3D remake would be most welcome.

That's ok. I still have a large Zelda backlog to catch up with.

Many games. Good thing that I just bought an external 1TB disc for my Wii U.

That's great news. Hoping that existing games such as Armillo will get updates to use the new engine.

No thanks.
