Good lord yes! I spent hours upon hours playing those (as did my mom)!
They really aren't though. In subsequent Super Mario games, sure.

Run is entirely different from that. That is player that has studied the level design, determined what movements Mario needed to make in order to move around those obstacles quickly and efficiently, and execute them.
This removes all of that so that anybody and their grandma can do it by tapping on a screen while they take a shit. That is by design, but you are literally trying to say that something with many mechanics is equiavelent to something with one and that is nonsensical.
Again, it's like saying a game that aims for you is the intended design of a shooter. It's a removal of depth to appeal to an audience repelled by depth and nothing more than that.

And so starts.
Witness the new era of Nintendo.
Bask yourself in this moment of living an industry defining event.

I've always felt the notion that touch controls sucks has more to do with inexperience playing on touch than the actual controls themselves. Many play platformers just fine.

I realise its a minor detail in the whole thing, but this is actually a perfect way of retaining Mario's scoring system. I mean, normally its been a superfluous feature in the games, but with this you honestly could have a global leaderboard.
Actually looks pretty polished.

A simplistic traditional 2D Mario with courses that have enough leeway to account for the inaccuracy of touch screen buttons.
It's definitely not infinite.

The NSMBU assets are kind of a bummer, but I understand since it's a low budget title. Here's to hoping it doesn't have the bah bah music.

No one expected or wanted that, but no one (or at least next to no one) wanted this either. There's plenty of other things they could've done with Mario that would translate well to phones with minimal retooling. Dr. Mario for one.
DeNA is involved as well, so Nintendo Account / MyNintendo will play a role here.
It isn't really. It's more reaction-based than rhythm-based.
Nintendo should re-release this to lock down the wrong side of history demographic!

Actually Donkey Kong Crash Course might work decently on a phone.
Is Hotel Mario educational? In any case, I guess people still remembered Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong on non-Nintendo platforms back then, so it wasn't seen as a huge deal.

People arguing about gameplay needs to be reminded that this game is not made specifically for platformer experts like you. This is for the general mobile gaming public that plays games to simply burn time at any place at any time. The success stories of mobile games never depended on complex controls or deep gameplay. Actually, the simpler, the better.

The CDI games weren't developed by Nintendo. This is developed by Nintendo.
I just don't get the hate. People that want the traditional Mario experience will still get that on Nintendo Hardware. This helps Nintendo stay viable by potentially making a lot of money and hoping that even a small percentage of those that try Mario eventually graduate to Nintendo hardware.
Seems like a good business decision to me and Nintendo fans will still get their traditional experiences. Why the hate then?

now people will say "The Nintendo I knew is doomed"
Embrace the new era, this looks very fun btw and will keep Nintendo with money to create new games like Breath of the Wild and etc.
The only thing I didn't like was the "NSM" aesthetic and music, I am a little sick of it

Why would you even want a intentionally simplistic 2D Mario game that has be toned down to account for poor controls? That just sounds like this, but worse.
What if Sony comes with a new Xperia Play phone with hardware buttons. *doesn't want to wake up*

I could be wrong but I don't think Hotel Mario (it really should've been called Motel Mario... rolls off the tongue better) was an educational game while Mario is Missing was.

People will not buy Apple hardware, in droves, to play Nintendo software.
People who own Apple hardware (a large portion made up of people who, most likely, grew up with or are familiar with Mario and Nintendo) will buy Nintendo software in droves.
Much a move like Google: "Everyone uses our software/apps, so we'll just insert it in to your closed ecosystem and take advantage of your position in the hardware race."
