KYOTO, Japan--(November 15, in the year of our Lord
2016)-- The first-ever mobile game featuring the most
iconic video game hero of all time goes on sale for iPhone and
iPad on Dec. 15 in United States time zones. Super Mario Run can
be downloaded from the App Store at no cost, and players can try
elements of the game’s three modes for free. Once the game has
been downloaded, a one-time payment of $9.99 (United States
price) will grant unlimited access to each of the three modes in
this release.
“The wait is almost over for a Super Mario game that can be
played on mobile devices,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of
America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
“Developed under the direction of Mario creator Shigeru
Miyamoto, Super Mario Run brings a new take on the series’
beloved action-platforming gameplay to iPhone and iPad for the
first time.”
Super Mario Run is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
devices running iOS 8.0 or later. Starting on Dec. 15, the game
will launch in 151 countries and regions. Super Mario Run
supports English, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese,
Italian, Dutch, Russian and traditional Chinese language
options.
Super Mario Run is the first Super Mario Bros. game developed
specifically for mobile devices. In the game, Mario runs forward
on his own, but relies on the tap of a single finger to jump
over obstacles, avoid enemies, pull off stylish moves, collect
coins and reach the flagpole to complete courses.
