Animal Crossing mobile game delayed
Nintendo has announced that their Animal Crossing mobile title won't be releasing as soon as previously claimed. The game has been delayed into the next financial year, meaning the new launch would have to take place sometime after April 2017. In the report, this delay was said to be needed to give other mobile titles like the upcoming android version of Super Mario Run and Fire Emblem Heroes more time to shine.
For smart devices, we plan to release the game application Fire Emblem Heroes on February 2. We will also follow last December's release of Super Mario Run for iOS with an Android version in March. To accommodate the releases and operation of these applications, we have revised the release schedule for Animal Crossing, which we had originally planned to release during this period. This title will be released during the next fiscal year.
