![]() Summoning gets less expensive the more you summon from the same group. Upon summoning, the player is presented with a character, ranging from 1 to 5 stars, depending on how lucky they are.īut Nintendo also offers another aspect to summoning. If they want a player that is of the red type, they can focus their summons on red gachas. So the player can be strategic about choosing which colour they want. This colour code is coordinated with the types of units the player uses in the core battle. As you can see with the image below, the player has 1 red, 1 blue, and 3 grey options. Upon summoning, the player is presented with 5 options, colour coded. Nintendo created a great feeling gacha flow. Getting a famous character is rewarded with a unique animation that really captivates the feeling of getting something unique & special (Seen below). Players collect orbs through single player campaigns to eventually start a summon. To collect these heroes, you have to use the gacha-based random drop system. Their upgraded heroes allow them access to more challenging battles which give better and better rewards.įor this game to retain and monetize at its best, the player must always have a desire to constantly collect new heroes, and upgrade as many as possible to their maximum level. Players battle, to gain rewards, to upgrade & collect more heroes. ![]() The Core Loop of Fire Emblem Heroes is a proven one. Let’s first take a look at what they did right: How the core of the game is designed. That being said, I’ve now played Fire Emblem Heroes since its launch, and despite all the praise it’s gotten since launch there’s noticeable improvements that Nintendo will need to make to ensure the game lasts for the long term. I sincerely hope that Nintendo continues to operate as the shining star in the industry as a company that continues to deliver incredibly fun, approachable games for the next decades to come. I am cheering for Nintendo with every release they do on mobile. I’ve owned every Nintendo console since the NES and have pre-ordered the Switch just to play Zelda on launch day. Just like most game developers in the industry, I grew up playing Nintendo. No doubt it will be another major success for Nintendo.įull disclosure: I am a massive Nintendo fan boy. The game has already grossed more then $5M, a week after launch and has reached near Top 10 grossing in the US, and is the #2 Top Grossing game in Japan. So far the reviews are positive for the game, from critics, players and business analysts alike. ![]() This game shares a lot from other DeNA products and many other Japanese F2P mobile RPGs.

No matter your opinions on their approach, these are very impressive numbers.įire Emblem Heroes is the first game in the series that feels closest to how free-to-play games on mobile have traditionally been built. Super Mario Run has generated $53M, and converts 5% of its player base. Despite this controversy, Pokemon Go generated revenues of nearly $1 billion in 2016. Super Mario Run was met with mediocre reviews, and many free-to-play veterans questioned whether the “Free-to-Start” model was the effective system for driving the most revenue and enjoyment from the product. Pokemon GO wasn’t developed by Nintendo, and Nintendo only sees a fraction of the profits. They’ve broken into a market that many have long assumed to be completely locked up.īut each release has been marked with controversy. Nintendo is doing what no other free-to-play developer has done. Finally entering the fray after years of resisting the trend, since last summer Nintendo has launched 3 top grossing titles: Pokemon Go, Super Mario Run, and now Fire Emblem Heroes. Nintendo is the one bright light in the mobile games industry. ![]()
