Support NeoGAF

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

Looks fun. Hopefully it won't be too long before it is out on Android. I am watching the conference because I was planning on watching the PlayStation Meeting anyway, and this was a nice surprise.

 

[Maiar_m]

Nice move. I really can't get into the cringey Miyamoto presentations anymore though!

 

[Alienous]

This is crazy. Mario will get so much exposure before NX releases!

Oh shit.

This is smart advertising.

 

[dawid]

I will probably buy it(i'm guessing its gonna cost a buck at max?) to support Nintendo releasing games for iOS.

But man.. notlikethis.gif ...

 

[Owari]

It's not an endless runner lol

Just ignore the trolls, they're salty there's no android release.

 

[Kimawolf]

Umm... whats a,runner? Not mobile savvy.

 

[Bahlor]

It doesn't seem big, but the way apps go viral are insane. Nearly every single person has a phone and when they see or hear people talk about apps, it's only a button away to get in on the experience.

Exactly this, but I think it is indeed quite big. It might lead to even more complex mario games.

 

[Valjean Lafitte]

Oh God no, not the NSMB aesthetic again. D:

 

[MCN]

Half the people in this thread must not be watching the livestream.

Apple won't let me because apparently web standards aren't important.

 

[ZeroX03]

Says in-app purchases right there, what are people talking about?

Probably a mistake, Miyamoto specifically said it was pay once.

 

[binarymelon]

Wow. This will be a day long remembered

Who will make the American Pie cover?

 

[cw_sasuke]

Only Nintendo could sully such a giant moment by revealing a fucking runner.

You never played the Rayman Mobile games right ?
Edit:

Ignorant GAF showing its true colors again xD

 

[Nirolak]

Did people actually not expect a Super Mario autorunner at some point on mobile?

That felt like the #1 most obvious game when they announced they were going to mobile and zero brands were off limits.

 

[No_Style]

I wonder if the detractors played Rayman Jungle Run before because that's a fantastic title on mobile.

And how would a traditional Mario game even work on a touchscreen?

 

[18-Volt]

Wait, why are you hating 2D runners? Haven't you all played Rayman on iOS? Game plays godly, one of the best on the platform. I'm really happy that Mario is similar to that.

 

[Ganondolf]

Miyamoto getting a taxi down to the Sony conference

 

[Koppai]

Meh, just a running game. I'll wait for the real Mario game on NX. Mobile games have only held my interest for maybe a month and then I got bored (Miitomo, Pokémon Go)

 

[kiguel182]

This is great but Nintendo, please make a real Animal Crossing for the iPhone. I need it.

Hopefully this makes money, regardless of its price.

 

[Somnid]

Sounds a bit lame, not that it won't be fun but it's like the exact type of things investors would get hot for but not really taking mobile gaming forward. I expect an NX port.

 

[Tuck]

I don't understand why they're showing it off in portrait mode. Looks so dumb.

 

[Diprosalic]

Probably a mistake, Miyamoto specifically said it was pay once.

you can have paid dlc and pay once no?

 

[JoeM86]

Wait, this is a premium game? Is DeNA not involved, then?

DeNA aren't only helping with F2P games. I can't follow that logic.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Runners work in mobile, platformers don't. It looks incredibly smooth and versatile. It looks like a better Rayman Jungle Run.

 

[stilgar]

Seriously IT'S LIKE THE RAYMAN GAMES
stop with your doomed bullshit.

 

[LordofPwn]

would have been a baller move to partner with Apple and announce the NX today just before Sony talks about Neo. From out of nowhere.

 

[ItsDorf]

So wait what if NX is just the housing for Mobile devices. And an app hat installs on iPhone that streams local gaming.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Seems like the auto run courses in NSMB2 then.

Interesting. Wonder if any of these games will ever come to NX.

 

[mario_O]

Mario game with no buttons? Ugh

 

[Jerm411]

Megaton and the Sony show still to come.....

This could be a day of days....hang on GAF lol....

 

[Vice]

I never play games on mobile, but everyone is saying that this is an endless runner.
But they showed levels in the game so it means it's not endless?

It looks similar to the Rayman runners. Emphasis on timing of jumps more than anything else. They work really well and the level design is quite good.

 

[SoulUnison]

Ok serious question...if they can put games on iPhone then why not Xbone/PS4?

"Serious" question.
*rolls eyes*

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Ok serious question...if they can put games on iPhone then why not Xbone/PS4?

You could ask Sony the same question. They have plenty of iOS games.

 

[Raiden1018]

welp, I'm going iOS now.

For a times exclusive?

 

[Htown]

Rayman Jungle Run was dope, I don't see why this game wouldn't be too.

There's a difference between runners that have discrete levels with actual level design and endless runners that just throw randomly generated environments at you.

 

[Vitor711]

I wonder if the detractors played Rayman Jungle Run before because that's a fantastic title on mobile.

Controls do crumble in the trickier stages but it's still a fantastic game. The lack of immediate, constant directional control is not as much of an impediment for deep gameplay as you would think.

 

[Alcotholic]

They should release Yoshi Touch and Go as an app game. That was a quality endless runner.

 

[BGBW]

Says in-app purchases right there, what are people talking about?

£1 to play as Luigi
£1 to play as Wario
£100 to play as Waluigi

 

[Ophiuchus]

Well the Miyamoto part is over, but you can also watch it if you have a Mac or iOS device.

Thank you.I think it will be on internet after the event and no ,I am not interested in new iphone.

 

[somecrazymember]

Half the people in this thread must not be watching the livestream.

It's not a traditional endless runner. The video shows Mario stopping, changing direction, climbing, etc. It's more of a simplified control scheme to make it work well for mobile. Edit: I guess we're calling these types of games endless runners now. Seems reductive to me but okay.

Stopping and changing direction was done with 1 tap.

Climbing was done with no input whatsoever. He just tapped once to jump on the ladder

 

[Omnistalgic]

This actually looks really high quality...pretty much a simplified NSMB on my phone. Finally some bring I can actually have fun with on touch.

Back into Nintendo ecosystem confirmed...

Where do I sign up for Nintendo's service? I want my name registered before it's taken.

 

[jwhit28]

It had to be New Super Mario Bros aesthetics?

 

[Mediking]

I can totally see myself downloading this for fun.

 

[dallow_bg]

I was really disappointed when I thought it was just another endless runner.

Glad to see it's level and score attack based.
The multiplayer looks well done too.

 

[maxcriden]

Is it possible to play this on an old iPad 2, do we think?

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

I mean technically it started with Miitomo...

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Oh shit.

This is smart advertising.

That's the first thing that came to mind.

 

[The Boat]

A Super Mario runner was an easy guess, but Miyamoto in an Apple conference? Wow, times have changed.

 

[Easy_D]

Why do I get the feeling this will be Rayman Jungle Run except executed really poorly?

Huh, I always thought he said "It begins".

 

[russbus64]

"iOS first"

Worried I'd have to buy an iOS device for a moment there. But releasing later on Android is something an Android user gets used to (aka developers screwing us over).

 

[Aaron Strife]

Oh God no, not the NSMB aesthetic again. D:

Real talk it's an iPhone game, what aesthetic did you think they would use?
