Nintendo delays mobile Animal Crossing until April at the earliest

Nintendo’s second big smartphone game, Fire Emblem: Heroes, comes out on Thursday, but you’ll have to wait a little longer than expected for the third.

Next quarter’s results, however, will be very interesting for Nintendo fans and investors following the Switch’s worldwide release on March 3rd.
