WSJ: Nintendo making Zelda mobile game, Animal Crossing mobile Fall, new Poke TCG app
- Thread starter Armadilo
- Start date
There's always a new Pokemon mobile title around the corner. But the question is if it will stick. Pokemon Go was so far one of TPC's only mobile titles that stuck and also made a huge impact.

I do wonder about that. I can't imagine they feel good about Mario underperforming and getting low ratings on the app store despite a huge marketing campaign.

If Nintendo is smart they won't do the one time pay thing again after they've seen that model just doesn't make as much money for Super Mario Run compared to Fire Emblem.
That could be really cool.
I can see it now...
Zelda will be a type-match/puzzle game, where you match rupees of differing colors to attack. Your characters will all be gatcha-based (of course), with skills as well as leader abilities. You can purchase and/or equip items, to alter the board to your liking (hookshot to pull distance rupees closer to set up a combo), as well as outright deal damage (bombs will attack the enemies, boomerang in a sweeping arc, etc.).
I'd play it.

You make it like temple run (an endless runner) except each area is a puzzle maze that you have to unlock. After learning and completing each Puzzle Maze (Dungeon) you unlock new dungeons. So you start with a Hyrule Field maze, then eventually you are running through a water temple trying to memorize where to go and everytime you die you have the option to spend real money to keep going.
That game would print money. Especially combined with cosmetic unlocks of different characters. Link, Zelda, Impa ect and in each of their different versions IE Toon Link ect.

I can see AC being a huge money maker and I can see the TGC app doing really well with some promotion and contined support.
I do wonder what Zelda would be like though? Maybe like the Tomb Raider mobile games?

Animal Crossing fall?
Did it get pushed back further? I could be mistaken, could've sworn I read summer before, too much news to remember anything

I am a little bit confused.
Usually I tend to applaud Nintendo's efforts on mobile games, but when it comes to Zelda I'm now feeling cautiously pessimistic. Animal Crossing mobile is always welcomed though.
Never mind, I guess a Four Swords style game would be interesting on smart devices.

They never announced a new date. I suspect they decided to redesign some things based on feedback from Super Mario Run and Fire Emblem Heroes.

IIRC it was planned for 2016, then bumped to a vague FY 2016/2017, and since was bumped back to FY 2017/2018. Never really had a specific timing, just between this April and next March.
It'll be interesting to see if they plan to launch it simultaneously with an AC game on Switch, or maybe do the mobile game first as a warmup for the Switch game.

That's the one that'll make the most money.

Ah, gotcha.
Might have been a prediction by someone that I mistook as confirmation.
How would that even work?

I'm starting to think the Animal Crossing game isn't coming out.

Aping some of the mechanics of Happy Home Designer and the town building stuff from new leaf, with random pulls for furniture sets would have gameplay loops that constantly feed back in to each other.
They'd make a ton.
Or even worse, a Clash of the Clans/Boom Beach/Mobile Strike clone.
You rub their faces and bodies.

Pokemon TCG would be dope. Loved the Gameboy Color TCG game.
Ya ha ha! You found me! That'll be a dollar.

So many good possibilities here. It could be a swipe adventure like Lara Croft GO, a Hyrule builder, a straight up old school dungeon crawler, whatever. Excited to see how this turns out.
Why not his own pinball series?
Port begging, cool.
Lol who gives a shit. Lots of people want to play Nintendo games and can't afford a Switch either. Get rekt'd!
