I've been a big fan of the Animal Crossing series since the first one on the Nintendo GameCube. Animal Crossing is a game where you create a town, meet your neighbors, and make bells (the in-game currency) doing random tasks. Sounds crazy, but the simplicity of it all is what really attracts people.
Nintendo released Animal Crossing: Wild World for the Nintendo DS almost seven years ago, making the first AC handheld port. In the past couple months there have been rumors about the next installment of the Animal Crossing, which Nintendo has announced it be for the Nintendo 3DS console, and is currently titled Animal Crossing: Jump Out.
Animal Crossing: Jump Out was first announce at E3 2011, where it received very positive reviews. While most of the previous Animal Crossings showed quite a few identical features, Jump Out brings in some newer things. It's rumored that for the first time, you can be the mayor of your town, and there are benches to sit on around the town. There are some graphical improvements also. The trees and the house are going to look more life-like, and all the characters are supposed to be more human shaped. It's confirmed the player will be able to swim as well.
Animal Crossing: Jump Out's release date is has been announced for release in the first half of 2013.
Um, as I recall, AC:WW came out in 2006, more than a couple years ago. And there has been no concrete release date announced as of yet, even in Japan. Europe has a vaguely promised date of 2013 and the US has no release date at all.
