What will happen with Nintendo's Animal Crossing in 5 years?

For those of you who don’t know, Animal Crossing is a real life “sim” game for Gamecube. It relies on prescripted events that happen in real time to produce its fun.

Now I’ve gotten to wondering, how long until it runs out of prescripted events? It certainly can’t last forever.

This should be in Café Society.

Anyway, all it’s events occur annually. You’ve seen them all if you played the game every day of one year.

I have wondered what might happen in 5 years. Except my friend and I found out something very secretive… sooner or later perhaps a year or so Gamecube will come out with and “adaption” of AC. Fact or rumor?

Who knows?

In Japan, the game appeared first on the Nintendo 64 as Animal Forest. When the Gamecube game, Animal Forest +, came out, users could send their Nintendo 64 AF saves to Nintendo, and they would put them on a GCN save card for AF+. If Animal Crossing is still popular here in the States, maybe Nintendo will do something similar if and when a next-generation system comes again.

speaking of, I couldn’t get that damn Jingle to give me a present no matter how many times I changed clothes. What was I supposed to do?

Um…to keep on the OP…will I do that in 5 years too?

Did they set a time limit on it? On Madden 2003, there’s a disclaimer that next fall EA will shut down the online servers (because they want you to buy Madden 2004).

There’s a 30 year time limit on the game.

I believe that there is a Time Limit.(shouldnt this be in Cafe Society? sorry) If this such time limit existed wouldnt some highly-skilled programmer (me perhaps? lol) decipher the code and create their own society, own characters and plots? If so, wouldn’t there already be a predestined “anti-hack” setting?
