What the hell Nintendo? We wanted Animal Crossing on Wii U, but not like this. Not like this!
I may get it if impressions are that it's fun but that was pretty damn disappointing. I wanted Animal Crossing for Wii-U. I have feeling they're going to skip Wii-U and have it as a NX launch title or something.
Better make a bazillion amiibo of each character so I can at least find these things in store.

From what was shown I got more Fortune Street vibes than Mario Party ones... seems way to early to discard it.... (But this is coming from someone who likes the genre)
I went from AC WIUUUU
to AC WIIUUUTT WUTT WUTT
in 3 seconds.
Also, the visual style is terrible, mario kart 8 AC levels look better

Yeah the visuals are from the DS/Wii1 era

This sucks.
This sucks.
This was the big slap to me... all I needed to be happy with that direct was one previously unannounced WiiU game that I could get excited over. Since we were 99% sure something new was coming for AC (the amiibo leak picture), I thought AC WiiU was the bare minimum.... but it's not even a "real" AC game. And I deluded myself into thinking we might get a real AC game plus 2 or 3 other new games. lol 
I still play New Leaf more or less every single day, but I've really maxed it out and couldn't wait for the U version. Urgh.
I also really can't comprehend how this game could be amiibo REQUIRED when it's virtually impossible to find amiibo in a store. I literally have not seen 1 of the Smash Bros. wave 4 amiibos in stores. I got the ones I managed to pre-order and haven't seen another.

It's like they knew exactly what people wanted for their big franchises and thought "Hm... Nope."
It's like they can afford to do that with where they are though.

I'll be honest I;m glad its not like the other AC games. I didn't want to loose thousands of hours again. For this board game idea though, it's kinda eh. Don't like the fact it's Amiibo based and I doubt it's online. If I can play without amiibo and it does have online then I would buy it. I know it's not that though. ;(

My gut reaction was as follows: "Gross." I got the two amiibos I have as gifts and I still feel like I'm part of the problem here.
Honestly, though, if this game requires the Animal Crossing amiibos, many won't be able to play it. Those amiibos are gonna sell out regardless of how I feel. Even if the cards take up some of the slack, there's still the matter of whether the gameplay will be fun enough. Ugh.

Watching the trailer again, I actually have warmed up to the idea. It looks pretty fun actually, in an oldschool boardgame kind of way.
I just hope it's not too dependent on amiibos. It's crazy expensive just to keep up, and the scarcity of so many of them makes it not the most enjoyable hobby.

AC is already goofy.
Not really on topic, but I took this picture lol. I'm the Samus there.
On topic, the start of the footage with Isabelle, KK Slider, etc walking down was exciting. Then they kept going and that enthusiasm died quickly.

None whatsoever, it says sold separately in all caps at the bottom of the video.

People joke, but this might actually be the best way to handle the series instead of trying to make the console and handheld entries the same. That didn't work out well for City Folk, which was essentially Wild World on Wii.
With the console games being party games going forward, people are free to ignore them and just continue buying the superior handheld games.
Instead, Nintendo should consider adding the GC game to the GC virtual console whenever they decide to release it... IF they even release it. The GC game is the best console entry while New Leaf is the best handheld entry.
This isn't on the same level of the Metroid disappointment because at least we have New Leaf, which was only released a couple years ago. The last Metroid game released was Other M in 2010, but the last one to receive mostly positive reception was Prime 3 in 2007 (not counting the Trilogy release in 2009).
So for those disappointed, just look at it as you being able to save $60 for what would have ultimately just been New Leaf without the portability factor.

Maybe the game has more depth to it...
I mean, Happy Home looked pretty basic when it was first revealed but today's trailer showed it had way more depth to it and now I'm kind of interested in it.
They GOTTA have some sort of mini-games in this, though?

If it's a successor to Fortune Street, then they actually do not.

Seriously? Just Mabel but no Sable?
This looks worse than the Wii U plaza demo, right?
It is pretty amazing how Nintendo didn't see that this was their final nail in the coffin of people's perception of their conference. It's not only not the game people want and expect, it's the third Spin Off announced of games that would really benefit from a new mainline Wii U title during their conference.
They should use the Monster Hunter formula. Make a new console game and use that as a base for the next handheld one, not the other way around.

It's not like Mario Party / Wii Party at all. It looks like an actual board game, where you encounter events and points based on where you land.
Looks really pointless!

this would have been acceptable as part of animal crossing wii u even with needing to buy amiibo and winning a nominal amount of bells and getting to hang out with characters you normally don't get to
as it's own game it's the worst part of amiibo and the worst part of modern gaming mixed into one stinky pile of shit

Me. I'm actually not that big a fan of actually playing the mainline games and Home Designer and this are both more appealing. Animal Crossing is better suited for handhelds and a Wii U AC would probably just turn out like City Folk anyway. If this actually does play more like Fortune Street than that is just icing on the cake.

This was rather disappointing, and then I saw the pictures of the mario kart track and it graduated to "crushingly disappointing."
I was bummed out until I realized that board spaces had diary pages that described why you gained/lost money. Idk, seems silly. It'll be even better if there's minigames and doublebetter if you can use the much-cheaper amiibo cards. Since you'd have to buy one whole pack and you're set for the game
