Fire Emblem Heroes is way more profitable than Super Mario Run, Special Event Tomorrow

Profits for Nintendo's mobile game Fire Emblem Heroes are apparently impressive enough to beat out other Nintendo titles like Super Mario Run, despite having 10 times fewer downloads. According to a tweet by Wall Street Journal tech reporter, Takashi Mochizuki, Fire Emblem Heroes makes more money than Super Mario Run. This is surprising considering Super Mario Run is a paid app that's sold for a steep $9.99 USD, whereas Fire Emblem Heroes is free-to-play, but includes in-app purchases. Even more interesting is the fact that Fire Emblem Heroes manages to outperform Super Mario Run despite having a fraction of the paid app's downloads.

The Fire Emblem Heroes news coincides with a mysterious announcement Nintendo has scheduled on its YouTube page. The short live announcement will air in Japan tomorrow, Friday, April 28th at 12:30 P.M. Tokyo time. There's no word on what this announcement will showcase other than "deliver the latest information," in regards to Fire Emblem Heroes.

While the live stream is only scheduled for 10 minutes, the news can range anywhere from new characters, new modes, or just game updates, though it is strange to set aside an entire live stream for just technical updates.

You can watch the live stream on Nintendo's mobile YouTube channel. We've also included some local times the live stream will air so you'll know exactly when it starts in Japan.
