Following the announcement of Super Mario Run, we learned that the Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing mobile games have been delayed. The two will now be available sometime between Super Mario Run’s launch and March 2017, as opposed to fall of this year.
Nintendo has since commented a bit further on the delay. A representative provided IGN with the following statement:
“Based on a variety of factors, we felt it was most appropriate for Super Mario Run to launch ahead of these other two apps. Our Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem titles for mobile will launch before the end of our fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2017.”

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.

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.

Nintendo considered Fire Emblem and Pokemon crossover before moving on to Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 21 Comments
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE certainly had an interesting development cycle. At one point, it was considered for 3DS. The team also thought about various genres. But in the end, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE was made for Wii U as a mostly unique RPG that borrows some elements from Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei.
Going back well before development started, the game’s origins also have some ties to Pokemon, strangely enough. Nintendo director Hitoshi Yamagami revealed in a Nintendo Dream companion booklet at the end of last year that the company’s Kaori Ando “proposed a plan” that would have featured Pokemon and Fire Emblem. However, since a different proposal was floating around at the same time which would eventually become Pokemon Conquest, the idea was abandoned.
Here’s what Yamagami and Ando had to say about the situation, as translated by kantopia:

Fire Emblem devs on bringing the series’ west, introducing optional permadeath, Fates’ two versions
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 40 Comments
Last month, Game Informer published an overview of sorts for the Fire Emblem series. The magazine looked back at the franchise’s early days leading up to Fire Emblem Fates. There are some interesting developer comments as well.
Fire Emblem wasn’t introduced overseas until the GBA era. It was actually Nintendo producer Hitoshi Yamagami who had the idea of bringing it west, and he approached developer Intelligent Systems about his plan.
Yamagami said:
“Intelligent Systems was worried at first about whether it’d sell or not, but given the series’ support in Japan, I felt sure that audiences elsewhere would connect with it as well, and that’s how development began.”

Nintendo announced that Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing mobile apps are in the works as part of its most recent financial results. At the time, the company didn’t say if they’d be paid or free-to-start downloads.
DeNA has now come forward with an official answer. Chief executive Isao Moriyasu told The Wall Street Journal that Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing will be free-to-start apps. A Nintendo spokeswoman confirmed this to the publication as well.
Moriyasu additionally mentioned that the new mobile titles are more “pure-game apps” compared to Miitomo.
