  @KeikakuKat The problem is how they go about monetizing it. They tried the buy a game method and it didn't work well for Super Mario Run.

  @DanoDino86 @M1ster_Kevin @Wario64 tbf the problem with Mario Run wasn't the fact that it costed money, but the absurdly high price for mobile standards luckily, the game often went on sale to a way more reasonable $5

  @TamaTheYoshi @LinkyYoshi19 Yes, Super Mario Run is actually really fun. I 100% it. Its no gacha game, unlikr Mario Kart Tour, it doesnt make progression slow in the name of inapp purchases. It lets you do world 1 and toad rally (with only red and green toads) for free else 10 US$ to unlock full version.

  @elaifresh Duh huh. Tower fortress and nitrome games in general are goated. Also Mario run is comically good. They made comically good level design for a game where you have only one button (and swiping left or right to kind of slow down if you want)

  @Magaska19 Microtransactions will kill this game as quickly as it killed Mario Run. Imagine paying to run the same courses over and over and over and over . Such a terrible game. Crash didn't need this crap

  @Rei_Sh0 I'm well aware of all issues with Sonic 06, but it's usually considered the worst Sonic game even though a most of them suck. Mario Run is usually considered the worst Mario game, which is why I compare them. I don't count games like Hotel Mario.

  My Mario 64 replay got 20 stars in, at which point I determined I should probably keep working towards finishing my Black Eagle run in FE3H before Animal Crossing and P5R later this month. Yeah so happy #MarioDay I'm going back to weeb games lol

  𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙍𝘿𝙐𝙎𝙏 ✨ — Sonic Refresh (@RefreshingStars) reported 15 minutes ago

  @Zhane_Star To be fair, Daisy appeared in Super Mario Run, the last new mainline 2D Mario, as a playable character. Waluigi is a problem because of his existence as a joke character and his (seemingly) lacking popularity in Japan. His existence is a franchise-wide null-factor.

  @ZFighterAmuro @HatokTalk Love how at least when I last used iOS, most of the top reviews of Mario Run had words to the effect of "scam" in them. On an app store that has a serious and ever-present problem with actual scam apps.

  It’s funny to me how people still complain about micro transactions in free mobile games! If the game was $10 with no micro transactions know one would buy it, look at Mario Run! The consumer has created the problem. The dev’s need to make money if they can’t get any up front 🤷🏽

  Phew thank god I’m not the only one who appears to be having problems with the App Store. I wonder what ******** happened. I thought a lot of the things I was searching for was deleted. The only stuff that popped up was Super Mario Run

  @mockeryofortuna I already had 300, then adding my Mario run account to my Nintendo added 100, then I just did daily challenges plus the sign in bonus and got 500 :) it didn’t take much time at all!

  @JeffGrubb It’s funny to see that crash freak out post imagining playing Mario on other platforms. I played super Mario run on iPhone just fine mentally I was just more mad it wasn’t a better game lol

  Hi, I have a problem with Super Mario Run (Android). I try to link the app to a Nintendo Account but an error message appear. The support code is 804-7912.

  Matt Beardmore (@MatthewB_03) reported 35 minutes ago

  @AlaO_kun @Fredrikspelarsp Sonic Dash only had like one or two different levels and no sense of progression Mario Run offered a full game but only if you paid, which as a mobile game, isn't appealing. Crash on the Run could stay alive for years like Sonic Forces Speed Battle, assuming it gets updates

  That Sam Guy (@StingX2) reported 44 minutes ago from Collingswood, New Jersey

  That was a fun stream of the mario series, the highlight being that Mario 1 run. World 5 was an issue, but I 1 shotted 6. 7 wasn't terrible, and 8 gave me issue but 1 shotted 8-4 on the first go with 1 life left. woo

  really stupid that they won't enable offline usage. this is why i never bought (and therefore cannot play) super mario run - eventually, the game is going to stop working if someone doesn't develop an unofficial server emulator. and that's not been done for SMR yet.

  I'm trying out Mario Kart Tour and Mario Run to distract myself from how I'm feeling... I'm not sure if it's working.

• 
  Slade Lucas (@Slade4Lucas) reported 46 minutes ago

  @ENemtsas @DynamoSuperX The issue is that Tour seems much more akin to a spin off, just as Pokemon Go, Mario Run and AC Pocket Camp are. It would be like if they released another Arcade game and people said "look, we got a new Mario Kart game!" Or the same with Home Circuit.

  @Jadenfire @BillyTheToilet @NinEverything All mods are scam. Super Mario Run doesn't have any working mods! Super Mario Run is running on servers. You're coins are saved on encrypted servers, so there is no way you could modify it!

• 
  Brian Vaira (@VairaBrian) reported 47 minutes ago

  @gillythekidYT It should have stayed a mobile game. If this was a spinoff title like super Mario run, there'd be no problem, but people have wanted a true sequel for a decade. At least The End is Nigh exists.

  Why not indeed? I think it's an interesting phenomenon that even developers and publishers generally see mobile games as basically the lowest-heap trash tier by now without anyone really wondering if this sad reality could be turned into an opportunity instead. And I think what ultimately drives that change is that - clearly - things have changed. Consoles aren't cheap alternatives to PCs anymore. And building a PC is pretty goddamn expensive right now. At the same time, mobile hardware has improved at a rapid pace to the point where the AAA games we're playing on consoles right now could likely also be delivered without too many issues on hardware you already own. So the question becomes: Do mobile games always have to ship as crappy cashgrab versions of their higher quality brethren? My point being: Why would anybody play e.g. Diablo Immortal where you're being squeezed by Blizzard in typical mobile-game fashion if a game like No Rest for the Wicked delivers a better experience without any of that crazy stuff? Why would anybody play Clash of Clans and keep buying MTX if my little Luma delivers a vastly better experience and doesn't constantly ask you to flash your credit card? We've seen something similar happen 20 years ago when piracy was taken for granted by everybody until Apple and Steam came along and delivered better alternatives. And usually if you actually give people a better alternative, surprise, they might just be happy to support that. I think all of this is extremely interesting and exciting and I think while some others have tried to fix this issue before (Like Nintendo with Super Mario Run), I'd still argue that it's always been a bit of a half-hearted effort. But let's not praise the day before the night. It's entirely possible that nobody will care and in that case, not much was lost. But there's an opportunity here worth seizing.

  @robertlhutch24 @LockedOnCanes The problem with Mario is that he is stubborn AF. Zero innovation or creativity with the offense. Makes players cater to his scheme instead of understanding what scheme would fit best with the players. Have also seen Mario run up the middle on 3 & 10 with Justin Herbert. Nah!

  Cart McCloud (@CartridgeGames) reported 52 minutes ago

  Super Mario Run is very good with Tezuka and Miyamoto both seemingly involved and massive mainstream marketing - underperformed Animal crossing had to be rebooted since it wasn’t working out, still didn’t work out. Fire emblem is their only success and it’s awful

  @eriktuf @Cakemations1 @Canadianguyehh I'm gonna try to explain this simply. First game. Big sales. 2nd game lower sales. 3rd game even lower sales. Mobile game. Everyone downloaded few paid money. I wouldn't call it a success but mario run 2.0. Now DLC rumors. That's a downhill slope to the third death of Crash.

  @Jadenfire @JosephR56698859 @NintendoAmerica Nintendo made that decision with Mario Run BECAUSE people on mobile devices do waaay to much pirating on them :V especially Android it's a big problem, and nintendo did that to ensure people wouldn't pirate it

• 
  - ̗̀ Tuddy ̖́- (@tudsworthington) reported 54 minutes ago

  @HatokTalk A realisation I just had that’s arguably worse : the lesson Nintendo took from Mario Run wasn’t “the mobile market is broken stop paying it attention”, the lesson they took was to become just as bad as everybody else, if not worse because you know they can do better.

  Daniel Kaszor (@dkaszor) reported 55 minutes ago

  @Patrick_ORourke I think the problem that Mario Run had was that it was designed for an era of mobile games that had already passed by 2016. Think it could have been huge if it had come out, say, three years earlier.
