Following the successful launch of Super Mario Run for iOS platforms, Nintendo is looking to the future with optimism. The Japanese company plans to make more mobile video games in the coming year as well as the launch of its new, highly anticipated Switch console.
With over 40 million downloads since its first days of release, Super Mario Run is the most successful app of 2016. However, Nintendo aims to surpass 100 million downloads of the game in a short time. Although many argue that this plan seems utopian, don't forget that the app is not yet available for Android devices, so it is not at all unlikely that the company will achieve its goal.
Although the game's release on Android it has been released on Google, an action that will certainly attract a large percentage of users.
Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima said that mobile gaming could become the company's main business given the high demand it has. He also stressed that the goal of creating such games is to increase consumer interest in the upcoming Nintendo Switch.
According to sources, Nintendo is planning two new mobile games for 2017.At least two of them will be sequels to the Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing games. These are two games that do not have the same recognition as Super Mario Run. It is noteworthy that the demand for the new games will determine whether or not the company will continue to engage in this sector.
