Not at all. It has actual stages, isn't F2P and is a side scroller.

Could be good. I mean, the Rayman mobile games are great. However the portrait orientation is worrisome.
Long live gaming.

I feel like this needs to be added in Bold and Red to the top of the OP.
No is Rayman Fiesta/Jungle Run with Mario. Both of those games were good.
anyone with a brain can read it.

Ok serious question...if they can put games on iPhone then why not Xbone/PS4?
Because they want people to buy games for hardware they make. If they put their games on rival consoles, that won't happen.

Nah, this game will most likely be my most played Mario game in years. Nintendo knows what it's doing.
The irony is they just did, but they don't know it yet. I think NX is going to crater.

Unprecedented partnerships happening. I ain't even mad. Runner games are mobile. Keep it there.
Nah, their mobile output gathers completely new users for nintendo games. It's a goldmine that doesn't overlap with HC gamers.
Coming as a big Nintendo fan, I'm actually pretty excited. The gameplay looks very tight and takes advantage of the benefits of touch screen/mobile gaming. They are not trying to force a concept onto a platform that doesn't meet it. Instead, it's being made from the ground-up.
As for using the NSMB artwork, not shocking. It's what is more recognizable to the general public. But yeah, looking forward to it! Between their mobile games and the future NX, I'm one happy camper. I see Nintendo's future being very bright.
This. My wife loved Pokemon GO and still does. She grew up with it, playing mainly Pokemon Snap on N64. Pokemon GO acted as a gateway to other Pokemon products and games. She has been watching the old episodes on Netflix and she has the new Pokemon Sun on pre-order. I gave her my old 3DS and made it an excuse to buy the New 3DS (That's completely on me though lol)
She is not the only one. I know plenty of nurses I work with that thanks to Pokemon GO, it has prompted them to go buy other Pokemon games and Nintendo hardware. This is evident with the recent NPD too so not completely anecdotal.
Where the strategy works is that for those who are satisfied with just the mobile games, they were never going to buy consoles in the first place. Someone who games only on iOS/Android is never going to buy a PS4 or NX or whatever. But there will be a subsection of them that will be curious enough to jump into the Nintendo ecosystem. And either way, they make money so its all good in the first place.

That is the sad thing.

So I take it you've never played temple run.

I dunno. Pokémon/3DS sales went nuts for the month following Pokémon GO, rather than stalling.
You know, it's been a long time since I cared about Super Mario Brothers or even cared much about 2D platform games but that looks kinda fun to have on my phone.
Though I'd still rather have a full pokemon game (not pokemon go) on my phone. Hell, I'd even settle for a port of the original pokemon games.

A good game is a good game, regardless of platform
It's a game on a phone. By default it has the potential for insane playing hours, much more than home consoles can ever offer.

Not yet, but I'll be betting between the 3 to 8 dollar range. Double digit costing games only work if you're selling RPGs or if Square Enix has you by the balls.

Considering this was never leaked before, No.

You're not wrong.
This was the megaton.
Yeah, it's really not close.
Slim got leaked already and PS4 Pro is underwhelming at best compared to the hype.
Smart move by Nintendo really, stealing Ps4 Pro headlines with a very low investment initiative like this. They didn´t even have to pony up to put up a conference FFS!
They need to speak up about NX though. Like right about now.
I just saw the footage from the Apple conference. It was pretty good. They changed the mechanics of Mario to suit mobile. It's obvious it would have to play as a runner but the jumping mechanics are nice, especially how Mario does parkour moves now.
The reaction from that crowd, I'm not going to be surprised with how it does when this releases.

I don't think putting out simplistic mobile games is quite the same as releasing things on dedicated gaming hardware.

Wow, Nintendo really just tried Sony lol. Mario on mobile the same day as PS4 Pro.

More like Sonic is finished.
He's not really finished but sonic runners looked pretty ugly compared to this.
as pkemon GO boost to both 3ds hw and pokemon 3ds softwares clearly showed us.

It's going to sell a lot as long as the price is right. I'm wondering what type of in app purchases there will be.
I also can't imagine it took a lot of resources to make this.
'Nintendo doesn't want to lost in the shuffle with all this new hardware being announced today'
Joke's on us, I suppose.

Wow. I've never seen Apple put a "Notify" button or even advertise an unreleased app.

Megaton? I thought we all expected this... And a one touch runner, no less.
Snooze.
Snooze.
Well this is surprising.
Who expected this?
Wasn't the Sonic runner popular?

Talk about rollercoaster for me...Mario you say excitement...endless runner you say... disappointment
It's not an endless runner. It has levels/worlds with structure. It's a lot like that Rayman mobile title. Definitely different.

New page so here is the clarification.
THIS IS NOT AN ENDLESS RUNNER.
This is a runner game with DISTINCT PREMADE LEVELS, HIGH SCORES, and GOAL POINTS.
