Fire Emblem Heroes has now surpassed $1 Billion in global player spending
Don’t look at me. I haven’t spent a dime on it.
Mobile game or not do people still want to call this franchise a niche market.
Depends on how much other similar games make. I have no idea btw. I don’t track mobile games in the slightest.
Although I’ve spent more on Romancing SaGa’s mobile game than I’d care to admit.
I mean, it’s popular enough to the point where you can add up Nintendo’s other mobile games (Pokemon Go not included since they get little money from that), and Fire Emblem Heroes would still eclipse the amount of money they made.
I honestly can’t see myself spending money on micro-transaction games but more power to others my point was how people try to crap on other Nintendo franchises that aren’t Mario, Zelda, Kirby, or pokemon, and how a vocal minority refer to them as a niche market also I’m pretty sure the average amount of money popular mobile game might make is a few millions I believe.
I have play the game a few times or so but didn’t spend a dime on it honestly. The game did quite well but I got bored of it honestly.
