First Super Mario games on mobile devices
Good news for iOS user. Last November, Nintendo announced that Apple users could play Super Mario Run in mobile game immediately. The developer, Shigeru Miyamoto, announced the upcoming side-scrolling games at Apple’s San Francisco Event.
It will be the first ever Super Mario games that comes to mobile device. The iconic games will be available for iOS user on December 15. However, Android users should wait for a longer time. It will come to Android mobile in 2017.
Tap to jump
Super Mario Run is a simple game. The upcoming mobile game has minimalist controls. Player has control to move Mario forward, up, or down. Basically, Mario runs automatically. Then, player needs to tap the screen to make him jump. Tap longer to make him jump higher. That kind of control is suitable for mobile games.
The new game offers three games modes. In the Single-player mode, player needs to collect the coins and save the princess before the time running out. In the Toad Rally mode, players will compete with each other to impress the Toad into joining. Furthermore, players could use their toads in the third mode.
It’s free to download, but…
This new game is free to download in App Store. Likewise, it is also free for some of the play elements. However, you need to purchase to get all of the game content. It is a one time purchase. The full game cost up to US$9.99.
Nintendo argued that parents may rest assured with this pricing. There will be no more additional in-app purchases, which is a common issue with app providers.
Nintendo’s Tatsumi Kimishima said, “With our current plan, once a set purchase price is paid, consumers can repeatedly play the game without worrying about additional fees required.” Furthermore, the Nintendo president said, “So, children can also play it with peace of mind.”
Apple will continue to remove neglected games from App Store
Apple’s Tim Cook showed his eagerness about it. Since Apple users could enjoy the game before Android users. “We could not be more honored that Nintendo chose to bring Mario to iOS first,” the CEO commented.
Super Mario Run is going to replace the neglected old games in the App Store. Apple announced in September that it will continue to removed the applications that no longer worked or didn’t follow guidelines. As you may have known, Apple removed neglected apps all the time. It has deleted almost 50 thousand apps from the store. In which, about 28 percent of it is games.
