With the launch of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp last month, the game has surpassed 25 million downloads with $17 million in revenue. According to mobile app market intelligence, AppTopia, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp will not match the success of Nintendo’s previous mobile games such as Super Mario Run and Fire Emblem: Heroes due to the lack of a competitive multiplayer mode.
“Even though the revenue is not impressive, Animal Crossing had a much stronger launch than Fire Emblem did in terms of downloads,” AppTopia told GamesBeat. “It has a much stronger worldwide brand and player base, whereas Fire Emblem is more popular in Japan.”
With the lack of a multiplayer mode in Pocket Camp, it’s possible that this could be affecting its potential for overall revenue in the future, however, let’s hope they can introduce more multiplayer functionality as time goes on.
