Animal Crossing: Jump Out will feature the ability to become mayor and customize roofs, doors, fences and posts according to the latest issue of Famitsu.
The Able sisters will be returning to Animal Crossing with their clothing store. The museum will also be returning but with more fish and fossils to discover as well as an exhibition room and a museum shop. There will also be new stores such as a thrift store run by Lisa the alpaca, a shoe store, a store that sells miscellaneous items, and a gardening store that appears to be run by a sloth. The gardening store will sell seeds and flowers. As was previously confirmed, a shopping mall will be included in the game as well.
Tom Nook is coming back with Raccoon Housing. He will provide a tent when the game begins and players will need to upgrade their homes from there. As the houses are upgraded players will be able to decorate their homes with furniture. Some of these sets will be new furniture sets including a mermaid set. As players upgrade their houses they can decide on which parts to upgrade which in turn change the house's appearance.
Animal Crossing: Jump Out will be released November 2012 in Japan for the Nintendo 3DS.
I played the Gamecube and DS games quite a bit for long stretches, but got burnt out on it. It seems like there's this huge potential to make a massively multiplayer Animal Crossing or least a bigger single player world, but they seem content with small, incremental upgrades rather than revolutionizing it. Based on the evolution from the Japanese N64 original to the Wii game, they've played it pretty damn safe with the series and this looks to continue the trend.
People who think Animal Crossing should be an MMO don't understand the appeal of the series.Seriously. I'm so glad that random people can't just walk into my town at will and do as they please. The only people I want to play with are my friends.

People who think Animal Crossing should be an MMO don't understand the appeal of the series. I'm not saying they can't do more than the incremental updates they've been doing, and I'd argue that this game is a lot bigger of a step than any previous sequel, but going MMO is just a bad idea that would wreck the series.

Did Super Mario 64 wreck the Mario series? Or what about Metroid Trilogy and its transition to first person? Did either of these transitions wreck their respective series? What about when the COD franchise moved from WW2 into Modern Warfare? Change can be a bad thing, but it can also be a good thing if its handled right.
Hey Karion, what does the T-T mean? Is that some kind of emoticon? Tears streaming out of eyes? I've seen you do it a number of times but I don't get the meaning.
Yeah, it's supposed to be a "tears streaming down eyes" face, but someone pointed out to me that T_T also is an "eyebrows above eyes" face, which is why I've been trying to transition to the T-T variant.
Let it be known: JP brought the MMO conversation into this thread. His comment was unprovoked.
Until they bring back the NES games, no Animal Crossing will be as good as the original (US) GameCube one.THIS!
