Sensor Tower has an update on the performance of Dr. Mario World. In its first week, the mobile game has surpassed five million downloads.

Comparing that to other Nintendo mobile releases, it places fourth in launch downloads. Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp was the best at 14.8 million players. Dr. Mario World secured roughly 60 percent of the first week downloads of both Super Mario Run and Fire Emblem Heroes. However, it was significantly ahead of Dragalia Lost, which was downloaded about 860,000 times in the five markets where it debuted.

Dr. Mario World has only earned $500,000 from players thus far, but it stacks up well against other games in the puzzle genre. While it grossed roughly $325 million last year, Toon Blast earned only $90,000 in its first week. Also, Candy Crush Friends Saga brought in just $170,000 more than Dr. Mario World in its first seven days with much more marketing than Dr. Mario World.

The Pokemon Company has issued a fresh set of details about Pokemon Masters, along with a new trailer. The update covers cooperative play, the Pokemon Masters League, and more.

Here’s the full roundup:

A new set of Coliseum quests has gone live in Fire Emblem Heroes. These require you to play the three Coliseum modes (Allegiance Battles, Arena Duels and Arena Assault) in order to earn rewards such as orbs and feathers. These quests come in three difficulties (Normal, Hard and Lunatic) and you need to clear all quests on one difficulty in order to access the next set on the higher difficulty.

Also, since it’s Thursday, a new map has been added to Tactics Drills. “The Path to Victory” can be found in the Grandmaster section; clearing it gets you 300 feathers.

Another Dragon Special Summon Showcase is coming to Dragalia Lost starting in the early morning of July 20th.

This special set will last until July 26th. The full details can be viewed below.

The latest update for Super Mario Run is now available. On both iOS and Android, version 3.0.15 is out now.

Not too much to note this time, however, as the official patch notes only mention “Implemented bug fixes” in regards to the update.

Pokemon GO has announced a special collaboration with the manga and anime One Piece. Between July 22 and July 29, a special Straw Hat Pikachu will appear in-game. Players will also be able to access a straw hat outfit.

Japan is taking the collaboration a bit further. A One Piece statue will be placed in Kumamoto with special PokeStop featuring art from series creator Eiichiro Oda. This is being held to help support the Kumamoto prefecture in Japan rebuild following last year’s earthquake.

Pokemon GO

Pokemon GO has received a new update. Android users can now access version 0.149.0, and iOS players should be seeing the patch soon.

The main highlight of the update – at least in terms of what’s immediately available – involves changes to the appraisal system. Here’s the rundown:

Another “New Power” Summoning Focus is now live in Fire Emblem Heroes. Once again, the 5-star focus units are those who recently received a new weapon skill. They are Matthew: Faithful Spy, Raigh: Dark Child, Roderick: Steady Squire and Luke: Rowdy Squire. This Summoning Focus will be available until July 27.

A few different events are now up and running in Fire Emblem Heroes.

First, Bound Hero Battle: Morgan & Morgan is live. Morgan: Lad from Afar and Morgan: Lass from Afar, both from Fire Emblem Awakening, are waiting in Special Maps. And to celebrate the event, a new summoning event is live.

According to Sensor Tower, Dr. Mario World has seen two million installs in its first three days. Players have also spent over $100,000 on in-app purchases so far. It’s Nintendo’s lowest grossing mobile title at this point in its launch window, but Sensor Tower points out that the monetization methods are different and are most comparable to the broader puzzle genre.

A comparison chart of Nintendo’s mobile titles can be found above. Dr. Mario World’s downloads during its first three days are at about half of Super Mario Run’s 4.3 million, Fire Emblem Heroes’ 4.9 million, and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp’s six million. While there have been seven times as many installs as Dragalia Lost, Cygames’ title only released in five markets to start.

Dr. Mario World is the top free iPhone app in Japan at present. As for the United States, it sits at #6.
