People complain about the NSMB look but...
Just look at the ground texture, and at how Super Mario Run's is completely empty/duplicated compared to the texture of NSMBU. It was the same for Super Mario Maker, really, the actual NSMBU looks is much better than its SMM skin. What puzzles me is Super Mario Run looks even cheaper than Super Mario Maker when making something as good looking as NSMBU wouldn't have been hard. It's really half assed to the point that it's shocking. This is sort of huge, it's Mario's first game on mobile, make it look decent!
Anyway, about the main topic... wasn't this completely obvious? People, Nintendo is trying to
survive here. We already know they're fusing their home and handheld console market so they stay viable, how is it surprising they release Mario games on mobile? Wasn't this expected since Miitomo?
