We talked to Nintendo about Fire Emblem Heroes' monetization strategy and where mobile is going

Fire Emblem Heroes just celebrated its second anniversary in February of this year. That's two years of success for Nintendo's mobile golden goose, a situation that's even more bizarre when you realize that Fire Emblem was on life support in the West for so long.

There's so much story that I was compelled to find out more. I had the chance to sit down and talk to Shingo Matsushita and Kouhei Maeda, co-directors of Heroes, about those dark days and the sunny ones ahead.
