Nintendo’s mobile games made $348 million in 2018, according to market analysis firm Sensor Tower. The fourth quarter alone made $117 million, which was up 47 percent over the same period last year. This was thanks to the September launch Dragalia Lost, Nintendo’s first original IP for mobile.

Fire Emblem: Heroes remains Nintendo’s most popular mobile effort by far. Although it came out back in February 2017, the free-to-play strategy game still accounted for 66 percent of Nintendo’s 2018 mobile revenues, making it more a bigger earner  than Dragalia Lost, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, and Super Mario Run.
