THE Nintendo has plunged into the (extremely lucrative) mobile platform segment and is reaping the rewards with games that have become hits, how Super Mario Run and Fire Emblem Heroes both titles that have already surpassed the impressive $ 50 million in revenue. Now another creation of the Kyoto giant is reaching its value: the game Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.
Who brought the news was the Tower sensor, which took into account revenue from both the App Store and Google Play. And despite the milestone, Animal Crossing is Nintendo's title that took the longest to reach $ 50 million so far: 289 daysagainst 222 from Super Mario Run and only 20 of Fire Emblem Heroes.

What schemes should they follow to continue profiting horrors from casual players? This, we will have to wait and see.
