NEWSPAPER. If we indeed see Switch 2 this year we probably won’t see Animal Crossing until 2027. Especially if this patent marks the early planning stages of a new game. Hope i am very wrong and it launches early next year
See I disagree.. animal crossing is one of the highest selling Nintendo games. It wouldn’t make sense for it to not be a launch or close to launch title! I’d be shocked if it wasn’t released in 2025 or early 2026 🤞
i always thought the newspaper in the NookLink was a cute feature but always found it odd it was hidden in the NSO app. id love for it to be integrated as an actual newspaper item you receive in the mail every week in-game! its a cute way to keep track of all the notable things you do everyday. heck give NPCs their own news columns again for more flavor texts and secret codes or something
So it's officially gonna be a New Horizons Deluxe situation. i'm not mad i just hope there's enough new content and LAG FIXES for islands with heavy decor
In my heart I am not hoping for a new Animal Crossing game at all but rather a further massive expansion of New Horizons exclusive to Switch 2 with continuous content support 🤞
I wonder if they're planning on updating NH when the switch 2 comes out, like how NL got a big update when the switch came out. I know they said they were done with the game, but if they aren't going to have something new near switch 2 launch, they HAVE to do something for one of their biggest titles. My theory on the next game is we are getting something for the 25th anniversary.
I really don't think we're getting a new AC anytime soon. Not until after Splatoon 4 releases. The same dev team makes both games and they've never worked on both projects at once before.
Perhaps Splatoon 4 will come out later, and the new AC will come first. Last I checked, Animal Crossing is the more popular game, so it could take priority for a new system.
Great a newspaper but Off topic Is it just me or would anyone else want a mayor or governor position to be in the next animal crossing game & definitely miss the mini games glad to here it's returning
so let me get this straight: they patent the mechanic for getting newspaper and why are they patenting such a thing anyways? i'm certain the patent shouldn't really exist becouse of what if indie devs has been thinking of using newspapers interactable in their game and they didn't know about this? also what about actual newspaper companies? i know i'm overthinking this a fair bit but i can't help to think about it
It would be a patent for a video game mechanic and not for text based media there are many different types of patents so these do not stop anyone from releasing real life news
I'm not sure how patents work but I think all that's being patented is stuff like the specific layout and information contained in it, not the entire idea of receiving a virtual newspaper in a game.
Great. Nintendo taking generic features again so it can strike down random games. Guess no other game can use NEWPAPERS now. Add that to catching things and mounts.
The newspaper sounds like a fun idea :) I want to be in charge of my own island again. I think it could use a hotel as an upgrade to the campsite (idea courtesy Crossing Channel)
what animal crossing needs. 1. Bat villagers, remove the gross ant eaters. 2. Ninendo characters as villagers IE donkey kong, k rule 3. Bigger island maps 2 small. 4. Old game features removed 5. Game consoles as home furniture like in GameCube, N64 games Rareware only fk Nintendo games. 6. Wisp Ghost Furnature. 7. Underground Bunkers.
I dont think will be for a new game. they're prolly just updating their patents like they always do. if anything this would just so they can port new horizons to the switch 2, and or if they are working on anything "new" prolly going to have a New Horizons update thats exclusive for Switch 2, maybe something like NH plus+ or something just adding in missing features from the original game. i dont think Nintendo would make a whole new game just yet, feel like they wanna be lazy for a few more years to make a new game.(they seemed like they didnt care about making the original any better for switch 1 anyway.)

They probably start planning for the next one as soon as the old one ships and they can see what people like and don't like.

This is truly exciting, the first bit of news, can't wait 😁 (newspaper)

Newspaper! I definitely foresee a new animal crossing game for the Switch 2, but I’m sure it’ll take a couple years before it comes out
Newspaper! Thanks for the updates!!
I had no idea there was an island newspaper 😮 Yay thx!!!

@@Agathoarn why would we get splatoon 4 before a new ac? Splatoon 3 is only 2.5 years old
Animal Crossing New Era?
Southern Hemisphere people who don't have NookLink will be suffering big time. *Newspaper* 📰
Sorry what? I live in the south and had a news paper in nook link.
Great a newspaper but Off topic Is it just me or would anyone else want a mayor or governor position to be in the next animal crossing game & definitely miss the mini games glad to here it's returning
I thought this was this just for nook link app since basically same newspaper😂

maybe so and i don't know how patents work either which is why i want clarification on what parts of it or why they're doing this

Yeah, it is interesting that they would file a patent for something that has been available for over 3 years now. Newspaper.

Can’t wait to see them use this newspaper mechanics patent to sue their rivals in the future!
I can't wait (Newspaper)

Nintendo is getting a little wild with trying to patent/trademark things. They're gonna try to trademark newspapers? Really?
I didn’t even remember it.
