Oh man, I can't wait to play Animal Crossing: Tom Nook's Micro-transaction Orgasm, it'll costbe so much moneyfun!

 

[Lycan911]

I have a feeling these won't be free.

I have a feeling these won't be free.

The could also probably be riddled with IAP for in-game currency.

I have a feeling these won't be free.

I hope they're not free, that would mean less microtansactions.

Looking forward to Fire Emblem, this can be played on a smartphone without any drawbacks.

Oh, I don't care for the downfall of Nintendo.
But if they happen to put a good real Fire Emblem on my android phone I will be quite happy on the go+ (given the gameplay it would be perfect, hell, I replayed Fire Emblem 7 completely on my phone on a GBA emulator using touch without problems).
Of course, that will never happen, Nintendo would never throw away the IPs that keep their hardware afloat.

Fire Emblem Shuffle incoming.

 

[BORTZ]

I would be more than happy to play animal crossing on my phone. I feel like it's the perfect zero content kinda game Thai needs my phone's internet connection and can use it well.

God no ! I feel like Nintendo is replacing Handled consoles with mobile phones ? God...

I attribute this to myself - I did this. The proof is in the pudding:

Why is it so hard for *seasoned veterans of the industry* to make mobile games that don't suck? A child could think of a better concept than this. Here's a billion dollar idea Nintendo, (...) Animal Crossing. You can earn bells the usual way oooor you can buy bells for cash, and everyone will because AC people have no self-control. Money in the bank, like taking candy from a baby (...) or (...) Fire Emblem Online with skirmishes against friends or in co-op mode in a story mode divided into bite-sized chunks you can drop in and out of on your commute, Jesus Christ, it's not hard.

You think that bitching and complaining on the Internet means nothing, but it does matter - companies have whole departments dedicated to combing social media and forums for opinions, and this is the result. Both franchises are *ripe* with opportunities and they're the perfect format for touchscreen controls - smartphones are the perfect platform for both. Good for you, Nintendo - now don't f*ck this up. Less Miitomo and more actual games, please.
