Nintendo is slowly making its way into the mobile gaming market with apps like Miitomo and Super Mario Run. A mobile game based on the popular Nintendo IP Animal Crossing was originally slated for a March 2017 release, but it obviously missed the mark.

Animal Crossing

The company’s President Tatsumi Kimishima was asked about the reason for the lack of information on the Animal Crossing app in a recent financial briefing Q&A.

Kimishima responded, “We will release the Animal Crossing application for smart devices during this fiscal year. We will announce the specific release date before we commence distribution.”

“This fiscal year” means any time from now until the end of March 2018. So we might see that Animal Crossing app game in 2017, but Nintendo isn’t promising anything yet. Regardless, it’s nice to know the company hasn’t forgotten about this highly anticipated game.

Other than vague release dates that keep getting pushed back, Nintendo has been very hush-hush on the details for the Animal Crossing app. Will it be a mini town you’re the mayor of like in New Leaf? Will it be design-based like the spinoff game Happy Home Designer? Or will it be more of a digital board game like Amiibo Festival? Maybe Nintendo has something completely unique up their sleeve.

Some rumors around the app’s delay have said the Animal Crossing mobile game just hasn’t been fun enough, so the development team is working to make it as entertaining as possible for all players. They’re likely trying to avoid a flop like the Wii U spinoff title Amiibo Festival, which was poorly received.

Nintendo has given no other statements regarding the Animal Crossing app at this time, but we’ll keep you updated with the latest news on the game.

Mischa grew up with video games and still has a deep love for many - especially fun, colorful RPGs. Some of her favorites include Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Pikmin, Fantasy Life, Kingdom Hearts, Skyrim, Civilization V, and Stardew Valley. She loves nights in with her boyfriend cooking Mexican food, watching Studio Ghibli movies, and going head-to-head in their favorite games. Mischa might not beat you in Super Smash Bros, but she owns a replica of Arwen’s sword and Hermione’s wand, so... don’t rub it in too much.

    Really excited for the release of this. But I don’t want it to be bogged down with RNG crap like miitomo and fire emblem. But that’s what we will likely see. Would rather pay $5-10 for a decent fun app than a free money grabber

      Agreed. I’d pay ten bucks for a mobile version that was a vertical slice of animal crossing. Seems like the perpetual management would be perfect to have in my pocket.
