I've loved Animal Crossing ever since the GCN. My favorite iteration was Wild World for DS. Many times after long and horrible days in Junior High School I would look forward to coming home and play something so relaxing, fun and distracting like Animal Crossing. It made my life tolerable.

@kenakuma: Nintendo though refuses to let their loyal fans have fun. But yes, hopefully they'll change this with the NX.

@roboccs: It's possible but I don't think that'll happen with Nintendo titles being available on PC. I think Nintendo wants their software exclusive to their own built hardware.

I agree though that NX will be just as much of a service as it will be just another console. Hopefully this will mean that the NX will be different in terms of the service and OS by the way it caters to a particular gamer and hopefully not different by control scheme. I really hope a more traditional controller will be around this time.

@Ovirew: I agree that this version of the 3DS will be the last. It's pretty much perfect. It's the DSi of the 3DS generation. I hope though that this console lasts at least 2 more years. Why move onto something else when developers can continue making great games for this great piece of hardware? In my perfect world Nintendo would release the successor sometime in 2018.

I play all types of games except RPG's.

Why make a huge game like Metroid for a console that's been on the market for almost 3 years and has just barely crossed 10 million in sales? It makes more sense if it's in the launch window for Nintendo's NX.

@kenakuma: That's not true though. It was very recently that Iwata stated that Nintendo is not leaving the home console market. I believe he said it during one of his quarterly earnings conference at the same time that he announced development of the NX.

YESSSSSS.

@raugutcon: How do you think I was supposed to respond to your initial post?

I don't even know how to respond to that. Oh wait, yeah I do.
