Fire Emblem Heroes Has Massive Overseas Fanbase

How’s Fire Emblem Heroes doing? Is it doing well in Japan and overseas?

When Nintendo launched their mobile initiative, no one really knew what to expect. But then, when Fire Emblem Heroes launched, it quickly became the companies most popular 1st party title (Pokemon GO is not 1st party). It recently celebrated its 1-year anniversary, and at the Fiscal Briefing, Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima revealed just how well the game was doing abroad:

“Fire Emblem Heroes became available in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macao, Thailand, and Singapore as of November of last year, and this February marked the one-year anniversary of the application’s release. We have been able to keep our active users while expanding the user base, and sales have continued to grow without slowing. One might expect the Fire Emblem series to be most popular within Japan, but for Fire Emblem Heroes the share of overseas sales is steadily growing. Moving forward, we will work to continually expand on measures designed to excite consumers.”
