In the past, the company has revealed their interest in bringing over other franchises into the smartphone mobile market with Animal Crossing along with Fire Emblem both receiving an installment for iOS and Android. Unfortunately, it seems that those two video games have been delayed.

Originally, Nintendo had intended in releasing both Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem before the end of this year, but according to Polygon, a press release was sent out by Nintendo confirming that both mobile titles have been delayed until March of 2017.

This also comes in conjunction with a recent and unexpected appearance of Shigeru Miyamoto during Apple’s latest iPhone event. Nintendo will be releasing Super Mario Run for the mobile phone platform, where it will likely be released on Apple iPhone first, with Android likely to follow shortly after.
