Free-to-play 3DS game Pokémon Shuffle has been downloaded more than 2.5m times since launching just over a month ago.
The match-three game – which lets gamers play five sessions per day – was announced earlier this year amongst a slew of seemingly contrary announcements regarding Nintendo’s stance on mobile games. It hit 1m downloads just over three weeks ago.
Given the success of Pokémon Shuffle, it’s a good bet Nintendo will take what it has learned from this title when approaching new titles for smart devices. Its first mobile titleis due this year.
