Uh... no. Actually, I challenge you to find a single one that HAS free wi-fi, besides for people that sleep more inside an airplane than in their own bed, aka Platinum customers.
It appears Super Mario Run will require an internet connection at all times

im not saying the reasoning for the constant online is the same, jesus, just that the prevailing issue with pokemon go was battery drain, not data. People still played it a ton, and many still do

Yes. Exactly.
The issue is once you make that purchae you still need to be online.
It's ridiculous that a company that has always has awful online support for their games that need it is requiring always on line for a game that doesn't need it at all.
Pretty much all mobile games I play (and that's a lot, lol) don't require constant Internet connection.

lol... I doubt the millions of people who will buy this will even know, let alone care.

Yes, see the new trailer. Mario just leaps over them.
lol no, normal people don't freak out when they can't play a specific videogame offline.
you automatically hurdle over goombas and if you jump while hurdling you get a higher jump
Yeah, it's so easy to dismiss arguments by declaring people as being part of a defense force.
Fuck having reasoned arguments where we can understand where people are coming from and let's just throw condescending remarks at each other like a bunch of five year olds.

I use the subway very infrequently despite living in manhattan, but last time I was on the Q, the L, 4/5/6, F or E trains I was surprised to find that my data didnt cut off. Maybe it's a Verizon thing?
also concerning the vaulting over goombas, this game treats them as points where you can vault for extra height if you time the tap correctly. other more substantial enemy types will halt your run/force retry i believe

Diablo 3 isn't a mobile game and it isn't always online on consoles AND actually has a semi-decent reason to be always online as well.

Oh man this sucks. I was looking forward to this since I'm not able to find the NES classic. Nintendo makes it difficult to play their games don't they? Like others on here, I was hoping to have this for the commute to work every day but no internet signal in the subway means that wont be happening 
I guess I save $10 this way. I'm not much of an iOS/Android gamer regardless, but I was going to make an exception for this. Not anymore though.

What arguments? There are no justification to not have a offline mode for the game. This is not really a discussion.

This is Nintendo we are talking about here.
Mario Maker 3DS could be the best 3DS game ever made? Cannot upload levels you just made.
Super Mario Runner could be the best mobile runner ever made? Cannot play while subway commute.

Trust Nintendo to f*** this up. Seemed too good to be true.
Remember people flipped over XBO needing to connect once every 24 hours? Here you need an always-on connection to even play! I only really play mobile games on my train journeys which either have the worst or no connection for most of the journey...how am I supposed to play on them?

So are consoles, but you don't see Nintendo trying this with Mario 3D World.
Plot twis: the Switch will be require a persistent internet connection when docked. :O
Why. Why would that possibly be a deal breaker.

My Android/iOS game doesn't require being online all the time. This isn't some backwards world.
Definitely. I don't expect this to sell more than 30 million downloads now. Such a shame.
A status customer would have complimentary wifi.
I know that when I'm abroad the only thing that I want to do is play Super Mario Run™.
Thanks for knocking sense into this thread.
Nice try.
The game has features that require an online connection. I bet if this was a game from an indie studio, nobody would even notice.

Nice try? You get mad at people for throwing around condescending remarks yet you did the same thing on the previous page lol
And as previously mentioned, those features have been done BY INDIE GAMES without requiring always online.
You've yet to provide anything. To make it worse, you've been the one with the condescending behavior since your very first post.
You will stop caring about playing this game long, long before that happens. If you want this to be the reason that you don't play it at all, go ahead.
Not really understanding all the rage and hand-wringing. There are a ton of games on my phone already that require me to be online. Most of Square-Enix's games including stuff like Final Fantasy Record Keeper won't launch if I'm offline. There are others as well.
Yet I didn't see any angry posts about it then. Hm.

That's a bummer. Probably won't end up grabbing this, then - most of my time playing games on my phone is away from wifi, and I'd rather not use up my data excessively.

This specifically isn't a deal breaker for me. It's what happens when your connection drops in the middle of a level.

Dealbreaker for me. Plus I'm sure it requires iOS10 so I couldn't get it anyway.
