Well, if the mobile AC is coming, the Switch one will have to follow suit. Anyway, Nintendo is going to swim in money with a mobile AC in Japan.

Nice!

And fyi, it seems that the SMT title announced back in January really is SMT V.

A direct just for the mobile app seems weird, but if it actually releases this year then I'd say AC5 in 2018 is a lock! Once again it'll be interesting to see if the mobile game has a significant effect on sales for the main series. I'd say no, I really don't believe the Pokemon Go effect can be replicated.

If it included the real AC game, and not just the mobile game, this direct would have been worldwide, and I dont think it would have been made as an specific direct, but rather as a normal one, given that Nintendo dont "spoil" the games like that(in the sense that they like to announce new big games with a certain air of mystery)

can't wait

hoping for great things

Yay! We are finaaaaalllllluyy going to see this! And hopefully AC Switch 2018 (Just like I want it to be) is becoming more of a reality!

Only Japan? Weird.

Nope. The west as well.
