According to market research firm Newzoo, Super Mario Run has generated over $30 million in gross revenue. It’s further estimated that the game has been downloaded 90 million times. With that in mind, it would seem that 3 million players have paid the full $10 for Super Mario Run.

Pokemon GO has been hugely successful since it debuted during the summer. It’s consistently managed to stay at the top of the charts on both iOS and Android.

Speaking with Nikkei, Pokemon president Tsunekazu Ishihara offered up four reasons as to why Pokemon GO has been such a hit. Ishihara first brought up the cross-generational success with seniors in their 50s and 60s who originally bought games for their children, as well as players who experienced the series when they were young. Social media was another factor. Niantic being a unicorn company (start-up with a very high value) and smartphones paving the way for location-based services (GPS) were the final two factors Ishihara brought up.

Super Mario Run

Nintendo issued a new update for Super Mario Run today. After downloading it, your game will be raised to version 1.0.2.

Only one patch note is listed on the App Store. According to Nintendo, Super Mario Run has implemented feature improvements.

2017 is almost here. To celebrate, Pokemon GO has been updated with a new loading screen, pictured below.

It’s also worth noting that the previously-announced promotions that were set to begin today are now live. The first partner Pokemon and their Evolutions from the Kanto regions are now more likely to be encountered, and Lure Modules will also last for 60 minutes instead of 30 minutes. Bronze, Silver, and Gold Boxes are also available that contain Incense, Lure Modules, Lucky Eggs, Poké Balls, and Great Balls.
