Support NeoGAF

[petran79]

Why the surprise?
Releasing exclusives to other platforms did happen before, during Nintendo's heydays

 

[Lazaro]

Thank you! Hrm, So even though iPad 2 can go up to it, it won't work on iPad 2? :/

Sadly your iPad 2 doesn't look like it's compatible., judging by the list it doesn't look like it supports previous "non-air" models of iPads.

Your iPad may support iOS 8 but it looks like Nintendo decided against supporting older models. The game doesn't look too complex to run so hopefully Nintendo manages to increase device compatibility over time.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Holy shit, those fuckers never learn. Its not even a F2P game.

Neither is minecraft.

While it's not going to reach minecraft levels, it being paid doesn't mean it's impossible to do well. Unless they do something daft like price it like a full retail 3ds game, Mario is still in a position to be a huge seller.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

The best thing is that they got rid of the terrible 'Bah Bah' in the music.

This is the actual best news if true for the whole game

 

[Thoraxes]

After the runner levels in NSMB2, I ain't even surprised.

 

[DoubleYou]

Looks like I will be having some fun with this.
Sad to see they haven't yet got rid of the NSMB engine though.

 

[KingBroly]

and some of you didn't think this could happen

It's all your fault, you know that?

 

[RagnarokX]

This is the actual best news if true for the whole game

Well they only put the bahs in for the enemies to dance, which is a pretty nice mechanic, but there's no need for them to dance in this.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Mii imported from Miitomo?

 

[Cirerus]

Anyone else feel like something is off with Mario's render?

He's dead inside. His mouth is not even open, just a resigned smile accepting his fate.

 

[Obscuritas]

A runner game? Thanks but no thanks.

 

[Milly Osworth]

He's dead inside. His mouth is not even open, just a resigned smile accepting his fate.

His fate of being exposed to hundreds of millions? Poor guy.

 

[Omnistalgic]

I think they can charge $10 for it...

 

[Clipse]

I called this when Nintendo first announced they were making mobile games lol

 

[The Hermit]

I am trying to not be hyperbolic.

But Myamoto announcing a New Super Mario Bros endless runner for iOS might be the most depressing gaming announcement since the death of the Dreamcast that wasnt about someone dying.



Sad to see Nintendo come to this.

is this sarcasm?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I called this when Nintendo first announced they were making mobile games lol

You and pretty much every other person on this forum.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I called this when Nintendo first announced they were making mobile games lol

It makes perfect sense. Not that much of a gamble to call it.

 

[Cirerus]

His fate of being exposed to hundreds of millions? Poor guy.

His fate of letting his home for the last 30 years to work on someone else's place for a over simplistic cash grab game.

Look at his sad resigned face:

I feel like, at the end of a level, instead of cheering up and take of his hat he will be only doing something like this -> ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Labrynian Rebel]

Color me unimpressed.

 

[tkscz]

Holy shit, those fuckers never learn. Its not even a F2P game.

The Nintendo share holders no NOTHING about the business and assume everything on mobile will make millions when they tend to make less than a $30 3DS game from Nintendo.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

His fate of letting his home for the last 30 years to work on someone else's place for a over simplistic cash grab game.

Holy crap we aren't getting any more Mario games on Nintendo hardware? You should make a thread.

 

[Labrynian Rebel]

Metroid run when?

Don't you mean Metroid crawl?

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Getting super hard to tell who's joking and who's legit bummed at having an inexpensive mario game on the go without having to thoroughly invest in an ecosystem that's on its way down.

If it looks fun and runs on my iPhone I'm buying this.

 

[RedToad64]

A new Mario game you can plaay with one hand!

How the heck did their incredibly important press release have a typo on the very first sentence?

 

[Beer Monkey]

Makes sense, this will not hurt console Mario games any more than Hitman GO and Lara Croft GO did their console counterparts.

This is how you do it, people.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

How the heck did their incredibly important press release have a typo on the very first sentence?

Trying to keep up with Sony.

 

[woopWOOP]

Learned about this from the stock% rise thread. Was wondering what Nintendo had to do with Apple as I was slowly scrolling down, lol

Anyway, I don't like endless runners so I'll probably never bother with this

It's not an endless runner.

It's a party time job, like a college stripper. He will have less time with his family.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Is there a link so I can watch Miyamoto's presentation?

 

[Mory Dunz]

2D would've been really cool imo

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

How the heck did their incredibly important press release have a typo on the very first sentence?

Millions suddenly went down the drain.

 

[Sorcerer]

I'll need to finally get a controller for my Apple TV.

Did they announce Apple TV though? I don't think they did. Anyway you push on the screen to make Mario jump, that's it.
You could probably play it with the included remote if it ever does come to Apple Tv.
Other than that it doesn't seem like the game has that much longevity.

 

[Neiteio]

The most surprising thing about this is how not surprising it is.

Like, everyone and their mother imagined a Mario mobile game would be a runner, so naturally everyone thought Nintendo would do something else. But not only did they take the most predictable approach, they even used recycled NSBM assets.

Still, as far as runners go, it'll probably be good.

 

[SuperBlank]

This is a cash grab, but no more so than those other NSMB games. They're just a cash grab relative to their pricing. Of course one that's going to sell for like a buck or two will seem cheaper than one selling at normal portable/console pricing.

 

[woopWOOP]

It's not an endless runner.

Automatic runner then

tho the 'create your own mushroom kingdom' sounds strangely intriguing, wonder what's that about

 

[Herb Alpert]

Holy shit, those fuckers never learn. Its not even a F2P game.

Mario + mobile= OMG WANT TO BUY NINTENDO STOCKS EVERYONE SAY I HAVE TO!!!!

 

[MisterHero]

I said Nintendo stock was for holding on to. Lol at anyone who sells their shares

Lol @ myself for being too poor to have a portfolio

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Anyone else feel like something is off with Mario's render?

It's his smile, he's not open smiling. He's Mario Maker smiling.

True and fine by me. Mobile gaming blows. I have no problem with Nintendo dumping very safe ideas there.

Its Nintendo, it won't be cheap. And they made of point of telling us "no in app purchases", witch translates to high cost up front.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I don't think you know what cash grab is.

 

[TheCongressman1]

The only thing I'm annoyed with about this game is the fact it uses NSMB style assets.
Makes sense I guess, cheap and recognizable. I just hate the way it looks.

All the Babby's grew up with it.

 

[RedToad64]

I would imagine at least a few higher ups probably have read it beforehand. The fact that it was missed is very sloppy.

But, yeah, it won't impact anything in the long run. Just seems weird.

 

[Aaron D.]

So they didn't announce a price?

 

[RagnarokX]

If the NSMB games were cash grabs then I guess every Mario game must be.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Gaming is dead

 

[wild wild rice]

I think every product a business produces counts as a cash grab.

NX cancelled. iOS forever and ever
