@SLIGEACH_EIRE I haven't bought a Switch yet either. There's just nothing of value on it. I have a Wii U for Zelda, and.... well that's the only game out at the moment. I loved Spatoon Wii U but I'm not going to buy a Switch solely for Splatoon 2. And, while I'm pleased that Mario is returning to a true 3D style for the first time since 64, New Donk City is entirely off-putting. Besides so few games, hearing about shortages certainly doesn't make me want to jump on.
I hate the way New Donk City looks. They could have made something great with a real, 3D Mario game but of course, being Nintendo, they had to ruin it. The setting, especially as the hub world, really turns me off. It's a nightmarish fever dream. First main Mario game I won't get. Still haven't bought a Switch. Nothing worthwhile since I had a Wii U for Zelda.
Umm they can't even number their games correctly. It should be xenoblade chronicles 3. This is the third game of the xeno series in the xenoblade chronicles sub series just like Xenosaga 1 2 & 3
I'm excited by it being open like 64, but am really worried about how freaky having normal people in a mario game is. That alone could make the game unplayable because of it's stupidity.
Nintendo online has always been bad but Pokémon specifically is even more backwards. Honestly isn't Pokémon about "connecting people" So why is the online so messed up. Remember in the DS games when there were like 8 different ladies in the Pokémon center to talk to about online stuff. And now we have festival plaza yuck
@HawkeyeWii Sure,movie theaters are overpriced too. This is about mobile video games though. Based on other similar mobile games such as Rayman Run series this is overpriced.
@HappyMaskedGuy Honestly the game is better than I anticipated. It's a fun pastime you can play for a minute or two or a long time if you really want to perfect your timing. So yeah get it when it comes to android if you're interested... of course though... I'm sure the ios version will be superior to the android release
@Turbo857 It's only free for four levels... the game isn't free. Who cares if it costs nothing to download. You still have to pay.10 dollars to get more than 5 minutes of gameplay. Top grossing? How much money does that mean? For how long?
@HappyMaskedGuy yay! Now we're friends... Anyway, I did end up buying the game. It's decent, a bit short and simple but it plays well. However, for such a simple game on a phone, I don't think $9.99 is a justifiable price. It may be fine for some Nintendo fans, but for most casual mobile gamers, well even though they may spend more money on micro-transactions, they are likely to be turned off by a 10 dollars upfront cost.
@russellohh It's not that it's unaffordable, I bought the game, I just think the price is too high for what the game is, especially for mobile where people aren't used to paying any more than 99 cents up front.
@MadAdam81 No XBox is trash. Greener pastures as in FF15, MGS5, Resi7, Uncharted4, Kingdom Hearts3, Persona5, Ni No Kuni 2, DragonQ11, FF7, DQHeroes, Witcher3, and many other first and third party titles. Of course I'm still planning on getting a Switch but Nintemdo's mess of a business is pushing me towards PlayStation.
@Wolfgabe "you people"? I haven't spent a cent on microtransactions in my life. Also, you said there's no problem with the price and it does its job as a mobile game? Really? So tell me, are most mobile gamers accustomed to spending 10 dollars up front?
@PanurgeJr It's (got it right that time lol) needlessly inflammatory to point out minor grammatical errors on a gaming website. It's (lol!!!) just my opinion that this game and its (rofl....!!! lmao) price are asinine. I'm pretty sure I said enjoy it if you want to so I don't see what was so clever about saying no one needs my approval.
@Gobelee I could give mario a pass on mobile since his name is already soiled enough but I still cant stamd the thought of this happening to Fire Emblem
@evenflow403 Im assuming you're refering to my comment that.praised sony? Yes I am familiar with supply and demand which is why I.dont like that Nintendo limits supply to increase price on so many of their games.
@CharlieSmile The only eShop games I've purchased are VC games along with Shovel Knight, Fast Racing Neo, and Child of Light. All of which are games with much more content on a real console.

"It takes time to procure parts" Nintendo should have been more prepared and had more confidence in their system.

Re: Review: Super Mario Run (Mobile)
@HappyMaskedGuy that sounds like a more reasonable price to be sure.

Re: Review: Super Mario Run (Mobile)
@evenflow403 just because Nintendo thinks they can get away with $10 because of Mario's universality doesn't justify the price.
