New data from app store intelligence site Sensor Tower<\/a> has revealed that Nintendo’s library of smartphone titles have now generated more than $1 billion in player spending.<\/p>\n

The figure combines totals from six games – Fire Emblem Heroes<\/strong><\/a>, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp<\/strong><\/a>, Dragalia Lost<\/strong><\/a>, Mario Kart Tour<\/strong><\/a>, Super Mario Run<\/strong><\/a>, and Dr. Mario World<\/strong><\/a> – which incidentally have amassed a mighty 452 million downloads between them worldwide.<\/p>\n

The majority of this income – $656 million, or 61% of the grand total – is from Fire Emblem Heroes alone, comfortably making it the highest-grossing of Nintendo’s mobile efforts so far. You can see how the others stack up in the chart below:<\/p>\n

According to Sensor Tower, 54% of the $1 billion total was generated in Nintendo’s home country of Japan (so that’s $581 million); the US has the second-highest player-spending total with 29% ($316 million). In fact, only Mario Kart Tour and Super Mario Run have bucked this trend by generating more money in the US than Japan; all other games have performed better in the latter.<\/p>\n

So, the next time someone asks you why Nintendo makes games on smartphones these days, you know where to point them. Impressive stuff.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
