Miitomo earned 1.6 million downloads in its first 4 days in the U.S.
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 10 Comments
GamesBeat is reporting, via data from industry-tracking firm Sensor Tower, that Miitomo was downloaded 1.6 million times in the United States between March 31 and April 3. This figure accounts for both iOS and Android. However, it doesn’t include downloads when Miitomo was at the top of both platform’s charts through much of the past week.
Miitomo has started to dip a bit, but this was to be expected. Sensor Tower has Miitomo at the tenth spot on iOS, for example.
51 percent of Miitomo’s installs came from the United States, which is quite a large gap over other territories. While Great Britan, France, Germany, and Canada were the other top regions, they all represented less than 10 percent of total downloads each.

Since Super Mario Maker came out last year, some players have been affected by levels that have been removed by Nintendo or courses that have just disappeared for seemingly inexplicable reasons. The company’s support page now has new guidelines covering deletions. Admittely though, they won’t help all users determine why their creations were taken down.
Nintendo’s guidelines cover a few main topics. These include low stars, levels with bugs, requesting stars from others, and inappropriate content. You can read the full guidelines below.
