Nintendo Has Now Generated Over $1 Billion in Mobile App Revenue [Report]

Nintendo has now generated over $1 billion in lifetime revenue from its apps on the App Store and Google Play store, according to a new report from Sensor Tower. The company's six games have reached a combined 452 million downloads.

The majority—$656 million, or 61 percent—of Nintendo’s mobile revenue has come from strategy RPG Fire Emblem Heroes. The next two highest-grossing Nintendo titles were Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, which has accounted for 12 percent of all user spending among the company’s mobile games, followed by Dragalia Lost at 11 percent.

Notably, Mario Kart Tour and Super Mario Run only accounted for 8% and 7% of overall revenue, respectively. Dr. Mario World trails even further behind at just 1%.


The overall revenue distribution among Nintendo’s mobile games is a stark contrast to the downloads share; Super Mario Run holds the crown with 244 million downloads, or 54 percent of the publisher’s 452 million mobile game downloads, while Mario Kart Tour’s 147 million installs represented 32 percent. Fire Emblem Heroes, Nintendo’s highest-grossing title, has only accounted for 4 percent of the total.
