Super Mario Run won't be receiving any additional content updates

It seems the Super Mario hype train is headed to a rather unforeseen abrupt end. Today, a Nintendo spokesperson stated that the company currently has no plans to bring more content to the Mario Run game in the foreseeable future, if ever.

This comes as a sort of puzzling development, since the game exploded in popularity, shortly after its release on iOS, quickly climbing to the top charts.

This is despite the $10 price, players are required to fork out after completing the first three levels in order to progress further. The over 2.85 million downloads on launch day, across 150 countries, definitely signify potential for even more profits. So, Nintendo's decision is a bit puzzling.

This new development, however, doesn't necessarily mean that Nintendo won't be working on other Mario titles in the future. For one, Mario Run is set to launch on Android early next year. If that pans out well, it might just change Nintendo's plans.
