The announcement for an Animal Crossing mobile app goes back to May 2016, alongside a Fire Emblem app that became this year’s FP2 Fire Emblem Heroes. Super Mario has also seen representation on phones prior in Super Mario Run, a runner game with a $10 price tag. What shape a mobile game of Animal Crossing will take is unclear, but we’ll keep you posted once the broadcast wraps late Wednesday evening.
