Nintendo's Next Two Mobile Games Are Based on Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing, Will Launch This Fall

Nintendo has announced that its next two mobile games will be based on Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing and will launch this fall.

The Fire Emblem based game will be more accessible than the version for Nintendo's dedicated gaming systems. The company says it "aims to offer the great value of a role-playing strategy game".

The Animal Crossing game will be connected with the world of Animal Crossing for dedicated gaming systems. Nintendo says by playing both Animal Crossing games "users will find increased enjoyment".


Both of these are pure game applications. Compared to Miitomo, they have more prominent game elements, and the game content will tie closely into Nintendo’s dedicated games business. Nintendo will provide more details about these applications closer to their launch period, and aims to have multiple types of apps that appeal to different audiences and different groups of players.

Miitomo, Nintendo’s first app for smartphones and tablets, has already crossed 10 million unique users worldwide. The app launched in Japan on March 17 and in the United States on March 31. Nintendo has, to date, sparked more than 300 million conversations in Miitomo and users have created more than 20 million Miifotos.

To celebrate Miitomo hitting 10 million users, Nintendo will run a special 10-day “Celebrating 10 Million Users!” promotion April 29-May 8.
