Google has announced that Super Mario Run was the most downloaded new game of the year on Google Play. We do know that it’s currently sitting between 50 million and 100 million downloads on the platform thus far.
Nintendo previously confirmed that Super Mario Run has been downloaded over 200 million times in total. However, president Tatsumi Kimishima said that the game has “not yet reached an acceptable profit point.”
10tons has been putting games on the Switch eShop on a regular basis. The fun continues next week with the physics based puzzle game Tennis in the Face, which is scheduled for December 8. The game will cost $4.99.
Here’s some additional information and a trailer:
Nintendo has announced that they will be holding a The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild live stream on Japanese video service NicoNico on December 12th at 9PM JST. The main purpose of this stream seems to be a segment called “Player’s Voice”, during which experiences, stories and adventures by players from their time with Breath of the Wild will be shared. Of course, given the timing of this stream, it’s also possible that this will be the first time we get to see the upcoming Champions’ Ballad DLC, which at the moment still has a fairly vague release window of “December”. It’s not a certainty by any means that this live stream will talk about the DLC in any way, but if they do, you will hear about it from us.
Last week, Nintendo published a video which gave a behind-the-scenes look at the recording of Splatoon 2’s soundtrack, including the voice actresses for Pearl and Marina. Today they posted another video like that today, featuring the in-universe bands ω-3, From Bottom and the Squid Sisters! Or rather, Callie’s and Marie’s voice actresses, Yuki Kudara AKA keity.pop and Mari Kikuma:
