SensorTower: Fire Emblem Heroes made $295 million in its first year, US vs JP breakdown

wonder what this means for the console games.
Bigger production to expand the series I would hope.
Very impressive for a small IP to grow into a mobile success. Then again, Fire Emblem was a smart choice seeing how the series has the biggest cast of characters for a Nintendo IP

I'm quite surprised at how poorly AC is doing seeing as it was already a very large franchise and seemed perfect for the mobile market. I've played all of like 15 minutes of the thing, but I guess structurally there really isn't much incentive to pay for anything or that basic pick up and play hook that drives people to dole out real cash.
Good for FE though, theoretically at least. FE Switch should already have gotten a boost in budget and priority given the success on the 3DS but this should help put even more attention behind it. Only fear is how much direction wise will this effect the mainline series as many of those elements drew a lot of ire in the 3DS titles which are nowhere as fanservicey as the mobile game.

Fire Emblem Switch has potential to be a major break out hit if Nintendo plays their cards right.
Only gacha where I've spent money, but it is also my favourite IP.
However, I don't want to spend more money on it than on a standard game, so max 40€

amount of characters doesn't matter. You could make a gatcha game with shyguys and koopas and sniffits and get the same quality of game that you have with FEH
Its the camilla, tharja, lyn, etc. factor
Game is a really fun time waster... 15 minutes, 5 hours, it'll waste any amount of time very quickly.
i've never felt remotely pressured into buying orbs or sta potions- they give them up like nothing. And on top of that, the orbs are fuckin expensive. I probably wouldve bought some if they werent so expensive. So im a bit surprised this made so much. Disclaimer: im totally new to this whole mobile gaming thing.
I feel like you'd have to play several hours daily and exhaust everything to hit a point where you needed to buy stamina potions.

Oh man, i remember there was a time when stamina potions and feathers were scarce, now im sitting at over 300 stamina potions and 40k+ Feathers with nothing to use them on.
I wonder why SensorTower's reported Japanese share has always been way higher than Nintendo's own provided figures...
I guess they can track by the origin of the Nintendo Account.
This is why it was always so hilarious that people said Nintendo didn't need to look at mobile. They probably spent a fraction of an AA budget, let alone an AAA budget, and made nearly 300 million in a single year. Even if they make half that this year, that's nearly half a billion for a single mobile title. And looking at that, Pokemon go made over a billion. A decent Mario title without the price of Run could be another billion dollar title.
Mario Run getting 56 million seems pretty above what I was expecting but considering that it got 200 million of downloads, then it's fair to say why Nintendo is disappointed.
We are a little over a fourth of the way there to ZhugeEX's prediction of 1 billion dollars in annual mobile revenue for Nintendo.
The argument was to port their old games, which wouldn't have been that successful, considering that their smartphone games that followed the more traditional model are the least successful ones confirms the doubts. It's also clear that market realities change over time.
This is also doesn't consider how many F2P players play the game. It's gotten a lot of Nintendo fans who only knew of Fire Emblem from Smash into the franchise, I had never played a FE game before last February and I consider myself a pretty big fan now. FE Switch has the potential to be huge if this money went into its production. If they can combine the gameplay elements of Fates (mostly Conquest), the presentation of SoV (voice acting is all but assured at this point), and the story/world of PoR (haven't played RD but I've heard that's good as well), it'll be a huge hit. That's a huge order, as usually they've only been able to capitalize on one per game, but on a powerful console it's a possibility.
You are forgetting the most important parts, Waifu and Husbando.
They better bring back sprites, I ain't playing these ugly ass 3D titles
