If there is a full Animal Crossing game on mobile with microtransactions , constant updates, etc. There is no need for a 40$ or 60$ boxed Animal Crossing anymore.
That's exactly why it won't happen for the foreseeable future. Nintendo want that $60 from core players as well as the micro transaction money from mobile-only players. That's why this mobile expansion is happening.
You only have to look at Miitomo to see how cut down it is compared to Tomodachi Life. It's not designed to replace their traditional offerings.

A Fire Emblem game where you can build an army out of units from the entire franchise (with the usual gacha gambling system) is something I can see happening and probably get suckered into.
Animal Crossing... dunno how they will handle that one. Doubt you can actually walk around your village either way.

Well, if Miitomo is under performing and they need titles that'll definitely have a good sized audience who'll happily pay for extras in them, they've chosen the two right franchises to go with.
Gatcha collectathon where whaeles will subsidize the game for everybody else.

they have said that miitomo hasnt worked as they planned.
and why settle for a 60 $ game when you can charge more on a average on a mobile game
Kill me now.
Animal Crossing with a steady stream of updates is good.
But I don't really want the future of the series to be held back by the f2p model (highly doubt Nintendo will put a high priced mobile title out).
Hopefully this is a supplement/side title and an NX version is also in the works for those who prefer the more traditional model.
(That and my smart device battery already dies too quickly as is)

Fantastic choices for mobile. I would play the shit out of both. Best news of this grim day.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Really looking forward to playing Fire Emblem.
Business side, wonder how they will monetize - maps? deaths?

AC makes absolute perfect sense. Make it a deeper and AC themed miitomo and watch it print money.
I'm interested to hear what the FE game will actually be. Would not be shocked it all if it was just a straight up digital version of their cipher card game, as opposed to the mobile strategy gatcha people are expecting.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Let us revisit Elibe. Roy's our boy.
IIRC everything past Miitomo this year is supposed to be a game. Miitomo was the first thing they could get out in a short time period.
I would be sucked into that @_@. Well not full on whale but yeah.
Is the Pokémon GO cycle going to repeat here, where people expect these to be Nintendo-tier apps, and then when it turns out they're mobile-tier, people are going to be super disappointed?
I mean, it would be great for them to be quality games, but I'm really not expecting anything out of them.
This guy gets it.

Remember guys, these (probably) aren't going to be full-fledged games.

Fates shipments have practically already hit Awakening's numbers without Europe. Fire Emblem as a global IP is way stronger than even Kirby right now. Amazing.
Wondering if this is concern trolling or Rubixcuba is genuinely upset.

I have my doubts that Fire Emblem on mobile will be a conventional Fire Emblem game, but it's a top-three Nintendo IP for me and the one best suited for the limitations of a mobile UI, so I'll be keeping my eyes open. Pokémon Go is probably the right analogy, though. There is still value in retaining the premium strategy series as is, using the mobile product as a tie-in and a hook.
Animal Crossing is an excellent fit and has plenty of room to vary the formula from the series on dedicated platforms, much like how Happy Home Designer already explored a point of divergence.

Almost 2M, pretty crazy! I think that's a better result than Awakening if I am not mistaken.

yeah I think it would be more like the spinoffs than the main title for AC. FE? I have no idea,
Fucking fantastic news. Glad to see Nintendo really made the franchise stick. It absolutely deserves it. An amazing series. Even if both Awakening and Fates have some issue, they are still fantastic games.
I think (or rather hope) that the Fire Emblem game will be a remake of a previous game or a gaiden game similar to how Thracia 776 was a gaiden game for Genealogy of the Holy War.
It could be something else entirely, though.
