Fire Emblem Shadows: Mixed Reception and Low First-Week Revenue

Fire Emblem Shadows made $90,000 in its first week on iOS, significantly less than the $437,000 earned by Fire Emblem Heroes, which benefits from gacha mechanics and legacy characters. Shadows' different gameplay and lack of gacha may have contributed to its lower revenue, but its redesign of Lyn has already influenced Heroes, boosting spending there. Overall, Heroes remains Nintendo's top-grossing mobile game.
