One month has passed since we added these new StreetPass Mii Plaza games, and we did not use any type of mass advertising. It was written on our homepage, with information about all the new content included in the update. You are also made aware when you visit the StreetPass Mii Plaza for the first time after the update, but we didn’t use anything like television commercials to advertise.

However, in this state, we have generated a lot of income from our customers. Furthermore, a lot of the people who are playing and enjoying the new games are communicating and advertising through outlets like Twitter. Thanks to this, the circle of customers is growing bigger and bigger, and interestingly, sales were a strong ¥400 million in only a month.

I think the price is a bit too much for these games.

Great revenue amounts, but like you said too much.

 

Nintendo needs to learn that in app purchases should be around $0.99 to $2.99 at most


I am the foot. I do not like you. You smother me with socks and shoes, then step on me thousands of times a day.

We foot will rebel one day.

They should make it so you use play coins to buy these games instead...

I'm surprised they sold so many. They did seem a bit overpriced at first glance.

A bit surprising, but it's not like I wasn't expecting these games to sell. Who would've thought Streetpass games could make so much money?


Some people always have a cellphone on them. I'm so awesome I always have a 3DS.

I hardly streetpass anyone because there are literally zero people in my area who have the 3DS so that would be kind of pointless to me.
