I saw this too when I attempted to subscribe. Weird.Not compatible with iPhone 5.
Wow really? The only reason I said so cheap was because Idk how phone gamers would react to a $4.99 price. I have no problem with $4.99 though.
I'm not sure how games at that price usually sell on mobile. 30 million seems reasonable?
The death of Nintendo
Please God, let there be new music. I don't think I can take any more BAHs.

The amount of negativity Nintendo gets for any and every decision they make is comical. But this is neogaf.
I'm in different to this game.
I'm more sad as I was hoping for Animal Crossing or Fire Emblem as I think they translate to mobile better.
Both of those are announced as well.
Not compatible with iPhone 5.
I have an iPhone 5 and subscribed with no problem. Maybe your iOS is below 8.0?I saw this too when I attempted to subscribe. Weird.
Not planning to get a new phone for several years, so I guess I'll just skip this game.
$4.99 is like equivalent to the $15-20 range on PC. Most paid games are between $0.99 and $4.99. Some go higher, up to $9.99. Some ports like Final Fantasy can be more expensive up to $15. And then the rare port like Stein:Gate can be $20+Wow really? The only reason I said so cheap was because Idk how phone gamers would react to a $4.99 price. I have no problem with $4.99 though.

Seeing Miyamoto, Bill Trinen and Hideki Konno on stage was such a weird thing. When they were playing the game it felt like a totally normal Nintendo event even though it was inside an Apple keynote.
Boom, they've waited this long
Apple x Nintendo, the crossover of the century
I know that. This was shown off and is seemingly coming first though.
I'd rather have the other titles first.
I think Minecraft Pocket Edition, which costs $6.99, is the highest selling premium mobile game and, as of 2015, has sold 30 million copies across IOS and Android. So that's quite the high bar to reach.
Interesting numbers. This would mean that the most successful premium mobile game as of 2015 brought in the same total revenue as a 3DS game which sold 5.25 million copies. No small chunk of change, to be sure, but kind of puts it in perspective. Especially when you take out the 30% (?) fee that goes straight to Apple/Google.
The real home run in all of this isn't the income from the game, but the exposure.
Ditto, but then the 5c is effectively 4-year-old hardware now, so it's understandable. :/
It's the latest. Tried it again just now. Doesn't work. Are you sure you don't have a iPhone 5s?I have an iPhone 5 and subscribed with no problem. Maybe your iOS is below 8.0?
It's odd. This game isn't very advanced graphically, and the 5 can handle more advanced platformers, racers like Asphalt, or even Oddworld Strangers WrathDitto, but then the 5c is effectively 4-year-old hardware now, so it's understandable. :/
Just watched the 60fps trailer looks great. Add in the fact that it's being developed by the main Mario team and I don't have any doubt that it'll be a fun game.
I share the same sentiment, and I can't see this as a stab in the back of Nintendo fans.Honestly, if I would play a Nintendo game on smartphone this would be it. Something designed specifically for the platform that I can play for 5 minutes as a time waster. I'm... excited? I think curious is the right word.
I wonder if even a sliver of the decision to do this was getting used to a mobile development model. Though the NX wouldn't have Xcode and related tooling.
Or, is Nintendo proper even making it?
It's still incredible Miyamoto was on the stage of the Apple conference, if I were told that before I would have never believed it.
They shown off Mario at the conference because this is the most iconic, recognizable franchise. That doesn't necessarily mean it will launch first.

There's no reason an iPhone 5 can't play this
I'm more surprised and taken by the sheer happiness of the audience when Mario showed up, given this is an Apple conference and the audience is different type, yet it was very well received. This is awesome.
It seems to me they've done some great advertising to that Blue Ocean so far; First the Olympics were a billion people were watching, and now this.
Now I just hope the NX blows us away
The 5/5c use the A6 chip, which is 32-bit. It could be that they're using Apple's Metal low-level graphics API to keep framerate at a buttery 60fps. This API requires a 64-bit chip (A7 and above). To be fair I'm not saying it's necessary to use Metal to get a stable 60, but it does look like they're using 3d models for everything and all the levels might just be 3d scenes, so they might have decided it would give them more bandwidth on the CPU for other tasks, or allow for richer effects.
They cheer because they've conquered a big fish. I don't care about Halo, but I'd cheer if Halo went on NX because I want NX to succeed.I'm more surprised and taken by the sheer happiness of the audience when Mario showed up, given this is an Apple conference and the audience is different type, yet it was very well received.
Yeah, I'm also kinda forced to upgrade my iPad 4 to play it too.Pretty hilarious that a Nintendo game is what's going to get me to buy a new iPhone.
Halo is a bad example since the audience don't fit at all.They cheer because they've conquered a big fish. I don't care about Halo, but I'd cheer if Halo went on NX because I want NX to succeed.

I mean, it's Mario. Even my wife would cheer and she's not a gamer. Everybody loves Mario and most people in that audience probably played Mario in their youth.
Same tunes, but some new remixes. If you're not bored of this yet, this is the game for you
Shit. I fucking HATE that piece, especially since they added the BAHs to it in later games, haha.
Pretty sure! You get a message saying specifically it doesn't work with your iPhone?It's the latest. Tried it again just now. Doesn't work. Are you sure you don't have a iPhone 5s?
Can you imagine Nintendo all releasing this on Apple TV??
