Super Mario Run Is More Successful Than Anyone Predicted

“Super Mario Run” might have smashed the day one downloads record set by “Pokémon GO” like it was a brick block, but Nintendo shares have taken a hit after it missed sales expectations.

Another problem the article picks up on is the fact that the game is less an example of Nintendo embracing Apple than it is a promotional tool to lure people into buying Nintendo consoles.

Super Mario Run hasn’t been out on iOS for very long and already has 40 million downloads from the App Store.

“A$3 ll the fuss about the game, including criticism over pricing, is precisely what Nintendo wants”, a stock analyst who focuses on Nintendo told Reuters.

Interestingly, we can also expect a greater uninstall rate as users who are adamant upon not paying the requisite $10 for the full version, get bored and remove the game.

Shigeru Miyamoto, the famous video game designer, said, “I am delighted to deliver a new Mario game for mobile devices”. Assuming they enjoyed it, the rest of the levels – and other game features, including the ability to race through stages in competition with other peoples’ best runs – could be unlocked for a $9.99 in-app purchase. One of these is “Super Mario” and finally, fans on their iPhones can now experience “Super Mario” again with “Super Mario Run“. The numbers dwarf Pokemon Go’s 900,000 downloads on its first day. Some dared to say that it could be as successful as Pokemon Go.

For those unfamiliar with the matter, Super Mario Run launched on iOS as a free game, but not really.

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Nintendo’s stock dropped more than 16% since the game’s release. Folks at iDownloadBlog have shared a simple tutorial to accomplish this feat easily, if you messed up at a particular level of the game and desperately want to revert back the changes or start from scratch. On the flip side of the coin, Nintendo also gave us some bad news: Super Mario Run won’t be updated with any fresh new levels, free or paid, as many users had been hoping.
