You can play candy crush offline tho, it just checks in when you reconnect.
It probably won't affect sales much but it's a silly requirement for a game of this type.

Dang I've really been behind on this stuff. That's really good though, maybe Mario Run patches this after some outcry

I hope so
Doesn't bother me most of the time but when travelling it's a real bummer.

The outcry was only on GAF, havent heard anywhere else (just my experience) most people dont care about being always on

Most games require online already. I don't know why most people were freaking out about it rather than just being a little disappointed. I saw the argument that they can't play in a subway, apparently they have their signals blocked off since a lot of the time, they're underground from what I've seen which is understandable.
(I've never been on one, as I've lived out in the country my whole life and the capital city in my state, Columbus OH in my case, I believe doesn't have subways since we use buses. Don't know about Cleveland or Cincinnati.)
I do go camping once or twice a year where there's no signal so with my experience with Pokemon GO, I can agree it can be a nuisance, but I don't think it's anything that can vastly hinder the quality of the game. It's just a norm that absolutely most people are used to. As long as it doesn't use a crap ton of data during long sessions, I don't think it'll be a big deal.

Perhaps Nintendo will do something similiar to what Bethesda recently did with "Doom" and remove the drm after it's been out awhile. Or as speculated, it's been slightly delayed to remove the online requirement.
For a premium mobile price of $10, I want to be able to play Mario without being tied to an internet connection.

A good game is a good game regardless of platform
You can't imagine a plane, train, subway, etc? I lose connection all the time on transportation.

My guess is it'll show up at midnight Apple time (an hour from now).
Honestly, I tend to only play mobile games when I don't have internet access. I have an 8 hour flight tomorrow and it would have been fun. Going to simply skip it now.

Why sad? Have you played it and didn't enjoy it? Is it less deserving than any other game?I just found out that this is being developed not just internally, but by the OG Super Mario team as well.
And that's just so...SAD.

Exactly.
Because instead of getting a proper Super Mario 5, we're getting..this. A mobile game. That requires internet. And is ten bucks.

Huh? That's awesome! Can't wait to play this.
iOS is not an inherently inferior platform. Don't treat it as such.
Get out with this shit.
I'm not a mobile gamer, but if it's good does it matter?

I am as upset about always online as you are probably, but mobile games can be worth ten bucks and much more. Devaluing mobile games like we all have so far may just kill a lot of the games we like. Unless every game made has to be a privacy invading micro transaction focused game which is designed to frustrate people who do not buy items in app... :/.

How about we get a $10 Mario game now on mobile, and a $50 one early next year on Switch?
Oh god no
A mobile game
That means it must be bad
Ignore that there are plenty of other great, fully functional titles on mobile with premium pricing
Because Oblivion said it's a mobile game in italics

I mean, it's been on iTunes for quite sometime now... https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/super-mario-run/id1145275343?mt=8
They are developing a proper 3d Mario forse switch
Cut this..well. ..
Plus playing it is obvious that the level design is from a talented team

Size says "coming soon" there

fwiw it says coming soon if youre on a mobile device
The two aren't mutually exclusive. You're not getting this game over another one, it doesn't work like that. There was no super Mario 5. Lol.
Also it's pretty 2009 to whine about a game being "mobile". The world is leaving you and your opinions behind. Have fun.
Wait, so all of you would prefer to have this, than a proper, original, 2D Mario platformer on the Switch?
And also, did I step into the future or something? When did we suddenly start appreciating mobile games?
no, you're apparently still living in the past.

About 5-6 years ago. You should try them some time.

When we all grew up and realized that mobile is a perfectly competent platform with tons of good games on it.
Put on your grown-up pants and try it out.
Lol who says we won't get 2D Mario on the switch? Why can't we have both? And why 2D? Maybe you should step into the future and give up with saying mobile games are trash because they exist instead of something else. This game looks fun, I don't know what your problem is.

yeah, Nintendo has totally canned the new SM for the Switch because of this, surely. That makes a lot of sense.
You
don't
have

choose
Also, there's plenty of great mobile games out there.

I decided to do a quick look up at Wikipedia for this game to see who at Nintendo is developing it and the director of this is Takashi Tezuka, the guy who was the director of little known games like Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Oh grow up.
Mobile prejudices aside, you're Implying we -aren't- getting an original 2D Mario platformer on the Switch at one point or another. Come on, man.
Miyamoto and Co. aren't being *forced* to make this, y'know. They're clearly liking this project.
Super Mario 5 ? lol
