Animal Crossing: World Connections (?) is a premise of what the new title for the Nintendo Switch could possibly be.

  • After another massive update to the now 5-year-old Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer games and your Nintendo Switch console will allow cross-connectivity.
  • AC:WC will allow more storage. Up to 5 containers (total of 500 items) can be used all over your town/campsite.
  • This will be the ultimate Animal Crossing title. It has features and locations from ALL previous titles.
  • Your town has a massive campground, so you can implement your new features from the New Leaf update (at Launch) and Pocket Camp. (at a later date)
  • Nintendo Switch feature: If you have My Nintendo accounts for multiple regions, you can use the new International Re-Tail shop to acquire those rare items that were so limited in other versions ie, the 7-11 branded items.
  • Up to 8 local co-op players can visit your town. 4 players total online.
  • You can carry your current items from New Leaf over to World Connections. Not Vice versa.
  • Amiibos and amiibo cards will allow special items to appear in the towns, buy either shaking trees or purchasing them from the shops.
  • Amiibo cards will allow characters to appear in your town as visitors or new residents.
  • With Happy Home Designer you can use the items from the 3ds to the Switch and customise Campgrounds, your homes and also special locations. 
  • The number of Museum pieces had grown exponentially, including artifacts such as pottery and weapons.
  • Not only do you get a coffee sh0p, there are now restaurants and drink stands (sushi, anyone?).
  • For the first time, The Able Sisters will sell Nintendo licensed clothing.  Your ability to create designs has increased as well.
  • You can now take photos with your New Nintendo 3ds and save them and use them in New Leaf and World Connections.
  • There are now 3 Islands to go to now. More info on those is forthcoming.
  • One more thing about Amiibo, ALL Amiibo figures will have some functionality whether it be clothing or other items. or even guests in your town.
  • More shops and stores are being added. Including 2 theaters, one that shows movies and the other for stage shows.
  • Nook’s Store has 7 upgrades with the largest being a multiple story complex.
  • You have the ability again to sell your home. Now you can have Campground and a home!
  • You can now share a video of your town and properties and share them with the video capture feature.
  • For you lazy people, for a large fee, you can transport your home and items from your New Leaf game to World Connections.
  • You can play minigames on ALL game consoles you find in the game. 

Well, we are looking into the possible (?) future.  This article is a collection of rumors, juicy tidbits and maybe even some actual information. You will be the judge of that.

This is a work of pure fabrication from the mind of a huge Animal Crossing fan.
