You may think its a stupid spinoff after all of your time playing it, but its made 40 million dollars in 12 days, and is well loved all over the world. I've just checked my Activity Log on New Leaf and I'm staggered to find I played over 1700 hours over 18 months. I would still be playing it intermittently if I didn't have to cope with animal residents' quakingly begging me "never leave us alone this long again". I'm probably an idiot, but I really can't cope with that as well as real life problems, and it would be great if Nintendo could adjust this "must play daily" approach next time. Showcase is already one of the fastest selling Nintendo games, and i believe is tied for the fastest selling AC game. Even 20% of Wii U owners buying it would be huge- barely half of U owners own mario kart or smash.
Mario Maker and Xenoblade will try to save it, but this was a very bad half year for Nintendo. This game is as much an AC game as any Mario Kart/Sports is a Mario game. They aren't mainline games, but they are part of the "spirit" of the Super Mario franchise. They finally do something new and people call the game trash before they even try it. Go look at lets plays on YouTube if you need proof. People whined when new super Mario Bros 2 came out because it was too much of the same.

@Hy8ogen To be honest, you might be right there. I've made her aware of its less-than-stellar reception - the only thing I can do now is show her some gameplay and let her decide. I'd hate to get her a crappy birthday present, but if she chooses for herself then I can sleep relatively guilt free. I toyed with the idea of re-starting, but I love my original town and don't want to mess about building things up again.
So far ive seen a lot of other reviews other than just this one. Others such as gamexplain say this game gets very repetitive after a good while of constantly creating just houses and with that making the type of themed houses you want to create on the inside. And I can definitely see what they mean by that, personally this AC just isnt for me. Wii U may be dead, but I'm spending a whole lot of money to play games on it.

Honestly I'd probably pay $20 for it at most from what I've seen so far though, and I've always been an AC fan. At least the game doesn't totally throw you in without any idea of what to design. I'm glad it has at least a little bit of guidance. Well, I'm getting this game via New 3DS bundle and I have been thinking about this game for quite a while. If I happen to dislike it...at least I still get to keep the New 3DS...

Mind you I still think amiibo festival is going to be a very lackluster game, but it's probably going to have some of that AC spirit in it. The AC development team is very passionate about this franchise, they aren't going to create a game in the franchise without a "soul". I personally feel like the AC titles on the way are an attempt to bring others that may like the game style but not the time sink on board.

One of the fun aspects of New Leaf was visiting other towns and homes via the dream suite to gawp over the brilliant ideas of other players. I'm really looking forward to HHD - got the bundle pre-ordered, as well as a few packs of amiibo cards. After a really long day at work, I'm fine with coming home to play a happy game that encourages me and doesn't provide any real challenge. This game falls into the chill out and relax pile, and there's nothing wrong with that.
I just don't know how long the game would take to start getting repetitious though since I am a big fan of the series I think that wouldn't be an issue for quite a long time. I'll get the game I think, just not on launch day. I used to be a fan of AC but this spin-off games are a clear indicator that Nintendo is just milking this franchise to death since they know how popular AC is. Instead of taking their time to make a huge robust AC New Leaf sequel for Wii U, they made a stupid board game that nobody asked for and it was created only to sell Amiibo. Will skip all of that of course and since Star Fox 0 was delayed as well ... Well, what an awful holiday lineup for Nintendo this year when we're supposed to have both Star Fox and Zelda.
So it seems to me that this game offers a little bit more of that popular feature, though it has been geared at a level to attract younger players. I shall get this game and hopefully enjoy it for the spin-off it is, and it will be lovely to encounter familiar animal faces. The BIG draw for me is the fact that one does not HAVE to play on a daily basis. It was said of the other Animal Crossing games that you could play for ten minutes a day and still enjoy it.
Alternatively, if a character is showing off your completed design, tap the camera icon that appears on the touch screen. Customize your character’s appearance by selecting a face and hair style. When complete, select confirm and press the A Button. If you want to make changes to a project you’ve already completed, just visit your former client via the Client List and change their home design. But you can only do this while visiting your client during the day .
I ask you this, what is a true animal crossing spin-off for you? If it's just ACNL 2.0 with HHD in it, than it's not a spin-off. Some of the best games ever made have sold very poorly. @dkxcalibur Yeah I really like the cartoony look of the AC world in MK8 and it's 4 seasons, and wouldn't mind messing around in it in a proper adventure type game in there, but Nitnod seems content to get small. And any thoughts they may have had of getting large are probably now irreparably crushed w/ the Zelda U and Starfox delays. I adore New Leaf and loved the GCN original—for some reason didn't take to the DS version and hated City Folk—but I think I'm going to pass.
Someone call me when they start making the good stuff again. My only beef with the game is that I would have liked to see the HHA point system be an option in the game for those who want more of a challenge. "Quick, piecemeal, and incomplete experiences, and less full-blown titles." This seems like it should be a cheap download-only title, not a full retail release. I'll bite if it ever gets a steep discount (50% or more off the price).
They even said they made Amiibo Festival simply because they wanted to have AC amiibos, another cash grab. I'll wait for New Leaf 2 or whatever the next main AC game is. Hey that's great 😇 I went back after playing the MK8 update and ended up downloading NL so I could start a new town. Plot resetting atm, nightmare, but only Margie and Paula to get moved in now. Plus with the ability to build 400+ homes, the ability to upgrade said homes multiple times , 83 home locations with 4 seasons each, with the ability to use tiles/rugs gives many hours of playtime and creative freedom.
