Now, I told y'all, I was going to focus more or just give more attention to the mobile game fan base. Because, of course, when talking about gaming, I'm not doing the gaming industry. It's due diligence by only covering consoles and Steam releases, right? So whenever I talk about mobile games, I wanted to come from a standpoint that was actually beneficial as far as the listening. experience. And guess what? I found a mobile game that's the best of both worlds because obviously y'all know I've talked about numerous times as far as me being a humongous Marvel fan. I mean, I don't even know if there's a bigger Marvel stand than me. I mean, I don't think I'm a fan of Drake. Just wait till you get me talking about Spider-Man, right? So anyways, Marvel Contents of Champions

has been and will continue to be the top five most consumed mobile game on the market. Last I checked, it was number one, but sometimes it fluctuates between one and five. But it's always in the top five. And not only that, it's reached over 215 million downloads by its fifth anniversary in 2019. And the increase was because of the numerous updates that come out and the plethora of gamers that have been enjoying the gameplay loop time and time again because not only do you have to have a classic level gameplay loop for this amount of longevity because marvel contest of champions of champions let me see i'm trying to get the exact date marvel contest of champions came out

december 10th 2014 do y'all not know it is 2024 and this game is still in the top five as far as most consumed mobile games. Now, of course, it's Android and iOS as far as the dominant platforms, but it has billions of hours logged by players. And of course, a lot of people really enjoy the mobile game. And if you didn't know, they actually have this game and Dave and Busters. So there's a fun fact for you, right? So anyways, um, also, One of the main components for why this grew in popularity was back in 2018 when Cyber Monday happened and it achieved 3.3 million in revenue, a 583% increase from the previous week, showcasing how important and how pivotal a Cyber Monday can be for any product as far as its respective brand putting it out. also another key element to why marvel contest of champions rose in popularity to the point where it is now is because of the ant man and the wasp release with it having a 384% effect on the revenue as far as increasing it and basically that was tied to the june promotion and also the release of his new characters because real marvel fans know any movie that came out after in-game, oh, excuse me, that came out after Infinity War leading up to

end game, we was going to watch it. We didn't care if it was Captain Marvel. I mean, as far as Miss Marvel, it wasn't Miss Marvel or Captain Marvel. It's one of them. I think it's Miss Marvel. We didn't care if it was Ant Man in the Wasp. We was going to watch it, because guess what? At some point, they was going to have to talk about the ending of Infinity War. And the ending they did touch on as far as ant man in the wasp and of course miss marvel was a little bit of a little bit touched on the overall overarching story but it was more of a origin story than anything else because people talked about captain marvel having a billion dollar outing as far as it being in a billion dollar club but as far as the anticipation for endgame i think that had a huge

effect on people coming out to see that movie now i'm not saying that captain marvel is not a as character but obviously the sequel after captain marvel should have shown you showed you that obviously people was just anticipating in game that's why i've received so many uh reviews and uh consumption oh okay here we go my uh computer was buffering all right anyways so yeah the reason why i say that is because it's a lot of reasons to why um marvel contest of champions is now one of the flagship drivers as far as revenue when it comes to the Marvel IP because I don't know if y'all know you know if you if you didn't notice this you're probably living under a rock but mccc is not in his glory days I think it's safe to say that right Robert Downey Jr. is not coming back

as iron man I don't care if he is coming back as dr. doom he's not coming back as iron man so the glory days are behind us but it does not mean that we don't have great days ahead of us because we still have the X-Men. I don't know when we're going to get our X-Men movies, but hey, they're taking a time with it. So we're taking our time going to the movie theaters, which is why the sales look like it does. So anyways, Marvel Contest of Champions, getting back to this game. So the biggest thing you need to know is that there's 200 playable characters in this game, right? Every Marvel, I'm not going to say every Marvel character because obviously there's a lot of Marvel characters.

But your favorite of your favorites is in this game. so of course Spider-Man's in the game I mean come on now what's a Marvel game without Spider- I mean I make my what's the second

most popular Marvel character besides Spider-Man I think it's between either Wolverine or the Hulk and recently it's definitely Wolverine because of the

MCU once again ruining the Hulk's image which I'm about to nerd out right now but did y'all know that the reason that the Avengers

was assembled as far as the OG lineup was simply to take out and neutralize the Hulk that's how powerful the Hulk was and the way that the MCU had just pacified this man is one of the biggest crimes

in superhero history that's what I wanted to say I wanted to get that off my chest it was weighing heavy on my heart and I had to let y'all know so anyways bring what was his name that made all the directors and actors that he worked with upset the original actor who was Bruce Banner

bring him back man I don't care if he well I guess harassing his co-workers is kind of bad but um so i don't know bring that version of hoke back that's all i got to say anyways um so yeah you know spider wolverine hoke and a lot of other players i mean iron man you have everybody who's anybody in mccu i mean there's over 200 playable characters so almost like a dragon ball type marvel game the way that they included everybody in their mom in this video game so anyways um it's a mobile fighting game for people who are not um familiar with this is developed by

Kabam initially released December 10th 2014 on iOS and Android platforms and then of course there's arcade versions that were released in 2019 like I said with Dave and Busters by raw thrills there was the handlers of the arcade version again now and then there's like cards you could assemble and stuff like that I remember playing my dad in that game and we did get cars after the fact I was like what is this but I guess you can come back if you play the game enough with like iconic cards and start off with those instead of just starting off with the base or the base level or whatever so one of the other things I want to get into besides the massive effect this had on just the

video game industry I wanted to talk about the market the market share because of course analytic dreams you know we love to get into them dreamlike analytics and with that The top grossing game for Kabam and Netmarble, uh, net marble for a quarter of 2022 was, a Marvel contest of champions making, uh, its first time being Kabam and Net Marble's highest grossing product as far as,

uh, the peak back in 2022. So now, fast forward to 2024, 10 years later, a decade later, it's consistently in the top five as far as most play Marvel game. so oh no most played mobile game sorry um that's a significant accomplishment for the simple fact

that mcc seems to be having a hard time putting out peak material as far as what it used to put out obviously the video game is going through his lumps as spider-man too all the characters in the world to make it a fantastic classic game and they ended up dropping the ball to the point where where everybody was pointing out because because people was blindsided by the amount of high top tier characters and popularity you have, right? Venom, Miles Morales, Peter Parker. I mean, it's a classic, right? No.

They ended up taking out mechanics that was in the first game as far as the stealth elements, making, playing as Peter in the stealth games, uh, insignificant. You would rather just go on to start fighting because the gameplay loop was fun from the fighting aspect. But for them to take a step back in any retrospect, when people thought this was going to be like Arkham City to Arkham Asylum type jump It was as far as transversal

I think they made that jump The Web Wings was probably By far the best addition to the game But as far as the gameplay loop Seemed like they could care less Right it just seemed like rinse and repeat As far as what the original game had With that being said

Marvel contest of champions Has consistently for a decade been Marvel's top tier content as far as over a period of time. Obviously, you can say the MCU, because that was basically a, was that a decade? Hold on, when the Iron Man come out?

Let me make sure now. Iron Man release date. Okay, so Iron Man came out 2008, and then, let's see, Infinity. No, no, no, no, in game. In game came out, oh, 2019. Okay, no. The glory days of the MCU is still top tier,

as far as longevity. But Marvel Contents and Champions is right next to that as far as something that Marvel put out in it staying peak for a very long time. Very comparable to the MCU, which is why I literally pulled up the release dates because I think people get twisted sometimes just because it's a mobile game.

And best believe me, I had that happen to myself too, which is why I started to put more focus and emphasis on mobile games because, I mean, 215 million people playing this game. I mean, that's a lot of people. I don't know if y'all know.

That's a lot of people. So as far as that, as far as the up-to-date estimates, having the monthly revenue for this specific game only, the monthly revenue estimating around $4 to $6 million a month. Like, that is insane for a mobile game and for a Marvel IP. Safe to say that this is up there with the MCU as one of the most classic, content Marvel has ever given to his fan base.

So with that being said, I just wanted to highlight a mobile game and wanted to start off or something I'm more familiar with, and that's definitely Marvel. So with that, I'm going to give a lot of other, a lot of other Marvel, no, not Marvel, a lot of mobile games coverage as far as sales roundup

and review roundups, because of course, I want to help out the mobile game community just centralized as far as having a hub where they can come to like um come to a place and see what all the top mobile games that are affecting the masses right because it's called notorious mass effect so i can't leave the mobile gamers out to dry so with that being said click my link to try let me know in one of my social media is that i do a pretty good job with my first mobile game review and if i did you know definitely rate this five stars for the people watching on podcast definitely click subscribe for the people over at youtube and then as always click my link to your
