Nintendo shared their latest financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, and company president Tatsumi Kimishima had a few words to share about Fire Emblem Heroes and Super Mario Run.
The quote comes from Wall Street Journal reporter Takashi Mochizuki, who spoke to the company chief:
Nintendo chief: # of Fire Emblem downloads less than 1/10 of Mario, but revenue is bigger than Mario.

It was revealed in the financial earnings report that Super Mario Run has been downloaded almost 150 million times across iOS and Android.
Additionally, Nintendo announced that they’re hosting a short 10-minute live stream through the “Fire Emblem Heroes Channel” program that will be available for viewing on YouTube at 12:30pm JST (8:30pm PT/11:30pm ET/5:30am CET).
The program was announced for Japan and is expected to run from 12:30pm through 12:40pm JST. If it’s for anything important, we’ll likely get an announcement for the live stream in the West sometime soon.
Fire Emblem Heroes and Super Mario Run are available on iPhone and Android.
