[Nintendo Everything Podcast] – episode #47 – Untitled Goose at Nintendo France bans Dragon Quest Hero in Smash
Posted on 4 years ago by Oni Dino(@Oni_Dino) in Podcast | 0 comments
Hello, my geese and goslings! This week on NEP we’ve got some controversial and complex talking points: Hero being banned then unbanned in official Nintendo France tournaments (and what constitutes an OP character or a ban), Mario Kart Tour and the success and failure of mobile games and how that affects genuine gaming, and the Switch Lite launching on the market. We then get some great listener mail sent to us and we blather on there, too, because complex issues require complex analysis.
If you’re enjoying NEP, please consider giving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, aka new iTunes. It’s incredibly helpful in getting us exposed to new listeners through algorithms, so we would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you for listening!
Mario Kart Tour now at 20 million downloads, $1 million in player spending
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
Earlier today, we heard that Mario Kart Tour had been downloaded over 20 million times. That number has already climbed to 20 million, based on a Sensor Tower report. Mario Kart Tour installs are almost triple those of Super Mario Run, which was Nintendo’s previous record holder for mobile launch downloads.
Additionally, player spending has already topped $1 million globally. That’s roughly 25 percent of Nintendo’s best performing title on mobile during its launch day, Fire Emblem Heroes, which earned about $4.3 million.
