<p>Early this week, Nintendo released its fifth mobile game, <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/mobile/dr_mario_world">Dr. Mario World</a></strong>. The game modernises the classic action puzzle formula with a unique touchscreen twist and online multiplayer. So, how has it been received by the general public?</p>
<p>According to Sensor Tower Store Intelligence data, there were more than two million installs within the first 72 hours. In contrast, <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/mobile/animal_crossing_pocket_camp">Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp</a></strong> had 6 million downloads in the same period, <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/mobile/fire_emblem_heroes">Fire Emblem Heroes</a></strong> had 4.9 million downloads and <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/mobile/super_mario_run">Super Mario Run</a></strong> had just over 4 million downloads. Dr. Mario, however, did rack up seven times as many installs as the brand-new IP, <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/mobile/dragalia_lost">Dragalia Lost</a></strong>. In saying this, the Cygames-developed title had a rather <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/09/reminder_nintendos_mobile_rpg_dragalia_lost_is_now_available_in_some_countries_at_least">limited launch</a>.</p>
<p>In terms of in-app transactions, players have already spent an estimated $100,000 on Dr. Mario World since it launched. This makes it Nintendo’s lowest grossing mobile game release so far. In contrast, Fire Emblem banked a cool $11.6 million over the same period of time, and even Dragalia Lost managed to pull an extra $150,000. Still, Dr. Mario World has done quite well when considering the series it is based on and the limited amount of marketing it received leading into its release.</p>
