"A new Mario game you can play with one hand!"

 

[Runnin Blue]

'Tis the beginning of the end or is it the end of the beginning?

Time will tell.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Perfect use for IP. What are the in app purchases though? - extra lives.

 

[Igloo]

This is basically my dream.

When im on the train, looking out the window, I imagine a little Mario running over buildings, fences, etc, and jumping over the gaps between them.

Will play.

This is just out of curiosity. Has Sega attempted this with Sonic officially?

Mario-wise, I'll give it a crack out of novelty but can't see myself investing too much time.

I'm pretty sure they released a Sonic endless runner type game on ios.

Hmmm not sure Mario is the sort of game that translates well to an in app purchase model like Pokemon has.

Prefer this to be a paid app at a decent price IMO.

Will piss and moan and still get day 1 probably.

Pretty sure this is a paid app. Not sure what in app purchases they are tacking onto it though.

Yeah hopefully if they do, substantial meaty DLC level packs would be good.

I read it's free to play part of the app but you pay a one off price to unlock the whole game.

 

[Premiers04]

I'll wait for the android release.

 

[kangle4]

Out December 15, costs $15 to unlock the full game.

Any word on an android release at all?

Eventually but no specific date at the moment.

 

[Quivorir]

Seems an incredibly silly decision. In my quick 1 second search it appears android has 80%+ market share compared to 12% iOS.

 

[Ry009]

Probably a deal put forward then by Apple to sway fence sitters I suppose then to get some of the marketshare back.

 

[Quivorir]

Anyone here or anyone you know ever bought a phone because of a mobile game before?

 

[Firestarter]

Nope.

 

[Premiers04]

Apple would be throwing good money at Nintendo for this, timed or platform exclusive.......for a mobile game, it makes no sense not to hit the bigger market as well.

Although to be fair when/if it comes to Android most will just download the apk file for free.

Pretty sure Pokemon Go was the motivation for a mate to upgrade his phone.

Not to mention that the Asian market belongs to Android.

 

[Kick Behinds]

I must admit it looks much better than when I first heard about the concept.
