When we last heard about Nintendo’s plans for Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing on mobile, the two games were set to arrive this fall. It now seems that’s changed a bit. In today’s Super Mario Run announcement, Nintendo said that the company “plans to deliver its previously announced mobile device titles in the Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem series before the end of March, 2017.”

Super Mario Run is the next mobile game Nintendo will be releasing. That one will be out on iPhone and iPad in December. We can expect Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing between the launch of Super Mario Run and March.
