Nintendo NX: 10 Essential Video Games That Must Be Launch Titles

7. Animal Crossing

After the Wii U didn't get a core Animal Crossing game, hopefully Nintendo will rectify this mistake with one launching alongside the NX.

Though it's worth remembering that the last main title, New Leaf, was announced more than two years before its actual release, fans have been chomping at the bit for a proper mainline title ever since that one came out, and to not have on ready to drop for March would seem supremely foolish on Nintendo's part.

The series' immense popularity would immediately bolster the NX's launch lineup, and considering the distinct possibility that Nintendo began developing the game for the Wii U before switching it over to the NX, it seems tremendously likely to be there on day one.
