During the launch, Nintendo and DeNA emphasized that Nintendo would still focus on dedicated gaming systems and that old games would not be ported over into these mobiles apps. In a statement, DeNA stated:
- To ensure the quality of game experience that consumers expect from this alliance of Nintendo and DeNA, only new original games optimized for smart device functionality will be created, rather than porting games created specifically for the Wii U home console or the Nintendo 3DS portable system.
On April 27, 2016, Nintendo announced the first two of the planned DeNA mobile games. One of the games would be based on the Animal Crossing series, while the other would be based on Fire Emblem.[2] Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp game was launched worldwide in November 2017, and would offer some sort of cross-title connectivity with existing or yet to be released Animal Crossing titles.
