Animal Crossing: New Leaf for 3DS

I'm speechless that this game wasn't talked about at the conference.  I thought we'd finally get some more info on this game come june 7th.  Is this game even on the show floor?  I've seen no coverage on it at all outside of the released trailer.  This is leading me to think this won't see a release this year or they're really holding off on info.  Hopefully the NWR staff can gather some info for us.

It's really weird watching the trailer for the new game and feeling nothing.  I wanted to get excited but I couldn't.  Animal Crossing is one of my all time favorite franchises but if they don't give us something new I just won't be able to play it any more.  That said, I think the online component might be the key.  I'm not sure what exactly I'm expecting, but so far Nintendo seems to be on the right track with 3DS internet connectivity.

Also, it's nice that the 3D screen finally forced them to get the interface right.  When I first imagine Animal Crossing on the DS I rejoiced that I could have the menu constantly displayed on the bottom screen, but instead I got the game on the bottom and the freaking sky on the top.  Glad to see that's changed!

I understand your viewpoint completely, it is kind of how I feel. I loved the previous AC games, but even I am tired of basically the same game with a couple of new features, like a small town, slapped into it. It will have to have something more then that, maybe not completely throwing out the formula/design but taking some decent sized steps to realizing the potential the series has.

Mannypon:
Has anyone found out if this game is on the show floor?  I think a lot could be done with this one if they utilize spotpass and streetpass.  Alli ask for is nintendo to put in some interactive items like chess boards you can use and some sports to play with the animals and online like tennis or golf.  that's too much to ask though lol.

Pajamas:
In the trailer, you come out of a tent. Maybe that means you can move to different towns. Maybe with swimming you can hunt for treasure buried at sea, perhaps?
