| RolStoppable said: The choice of Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem has probably more to do with controls than anything else. Animal Crossing isn't an IP with action, so touch controls will be fine to move around and perform a few simple tasks. Fire Emblem is turnbased strategy. FE will definitely not be anywhere as popular as Animal Crossing, but I suppose Nintendo still went ahead with it due to the raising awareness for the IP on Nintendo hardware, with both Awakening and Fates selling more than one million units. I don't think it's farfetched that Nintendo will promote their various apps within their own apps, so they should be able to feed off each other's popularity. Considering that quite a few of Nintendo's IPs sell throughout the entire lifetime of a video game system, at least a few of Nintendo's mobile ventures should maintain a sustained presence. Animal Crossing definitely has the potential to be one of them. And with regular updates, Pokémon Go should manage to be more than a shortlived fad. |

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
