However in another interview with Japanese daily Sankei, Kimishima claimed that the
company could release “more than three smartphone games” per year according a
translation via games industry consultant Serkan Toto. The monetisation models and
target audiences will determine what eventually would hit app stores. Furthermore,
the objective for Nintendo is to turn smartphone games into another revenue source —
along with its
console hardware and games.

Kimishima’s statements are in line with what Nintendo had publicly disclosed in the past.
In 2015, it divulged plans to publish five mobile games by 2017.
With Miitomo and Super Mario Run already out and Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem
games along the way, it will be interesting to see what the fifth game could be.
Prior to this, Nintendo announced that Super Mario Run has hit 40 million downloads
in four days. This was after several third-parties weighed in on the potential of the
game and the company releasing a new feature in Friendly Run.
