TOKYO— Nintendo Co.’s next two smartphone games will be free to download, the company’s partner said Wednesday, increasing the likelihood that the long-loved console titles would rank high in competitive app stores.

Tokyo-based DeNA Co., which develops and runs its own smartphone games, teamed up with Nintendo, the Kyoto-based videogame powerhouse, last year for the joint project. The companies released their first title, Miitomo, earlier this year, and are expected to produce four more by March 2017.

“‘Fire Emblem’ and ‘Animal Crossing’ are both free-to-start apps,” DeNA Chief Executive Isao Moriyasu told The Wall Street Journal. A Nintendo spokeswoman confirmed Mr. Moriyasu’s comment.

Both these games are going to destroy SMR's revenue aren't they?

I fear the F2P aspects of a Fire Emblem game on mobile.

Animal Crossing definitely has a shot, but this is an old article.

Of course, just imagine how much bank they can make off of selling items individually in something like AC.

If they don't find a way to release Fire Emblem here in China, everybody on the board should just fire themselves.
