Nintendo’s successful year continues: the company’s new mobile game — Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp — has gained 15 million downloads in the first 6 days.

This is reported by the analytical company Sensor Tower.

The dynamics of downloads of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp at the start turned out to be twice as high as that of Fire Emblem Heroes. However, the game lost out to Super Mario Run, which was downloaded 32 million times over the same period.

“Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is another example of how the strength of the Nintendo brand can massively promote a product.

And this time they did without the huge marketing push that Super Mario Run received. The Animal Crossing franchise has historically been more attractive to mobile players compared to Fire Emblem, which is interesting to more hardcore gamers. Now we see that this is reflected in the App Store and Google Play,” said Sensor Tower analyst Ruika Lin.

The worldwide release of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp on iOS and Android took place on November 21.
