With a mere six mobile gam♔es, Nintendo has managed to accumulate a total of over $1 billion USD in lifetime revenue, according to figures from the number-crunchers over at

Of the six titles, fantasy battler Fire Emblem Heroes is the most successful by a country mile, racking up $656 million – over 60% of all revenue – since its original release back in 2017. Second place goes to habitat sim Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, which pulled in a still ridiculously impressive $131 million. Dragalia Lost, Mario Kart Tour, Super Mario Run, and Dr. Mario World bring up the rear, as demonstrated in graph bᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚelow.

Late last year, Niantic revealed that its successful AR title Pokemon GO had rake♐d in a cool $3 billion in just four years, with 2019 being its most successful year to date. With this kind of revenue attainable for a successful title, it’s hardly any wonder why publishers seem so hell-bent on conquering the mobile market, and will likely continue the chase for some time to come.
