At Nintendo’s news conference regarding the fiscal year ending March 31st, the company confirmed their next two IPs heading to smartphones, following the success of Miitomo.

Nintendo will be releasing apps in the Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing franchises, later this autumn according to the Wall Street Journal’s Takashi Mochizuki. Not much else was revealed at this time, but we should be able to expect more information in the near future.

Both franchises seem to be natural fits for smartphone touchscreens, and it will be nice to finally see Fire Emblem in HD resolutions for once. Hopefully these official smartphone apps will keep fans busy enough that we’ll see less people pirating the Game Boy Advance Fire Emblem entries on their devices. Are you looking forward to either app?
