Super Mario Run out today! How to play with your friends and compete online

Super Mario Run launched today on iOS, after a months-long campaign with Apple where it was dangling at the top of the app store, tantalizing everyone for release. Nintendo is trying to make lightning strike twice, replicating even part of the success of Pokémon GO with its flagship IP, Mario, but this time having a more integral role in the creation and publication of the game.

Full Super Mario Run reviews will have to wait until the iPhone and iPad app has officially released, but today the Super Mario Run demo hits iOS devices on display in all Apple Stores. So if there's a store nearby, you can get a sample of what to expect when the Super Mario Run release date arrives on Dec. 15. If not, you'll just have to wait another week.

Users that do pay the bucks to pick up the game today, be wary. There's always another way to pick up cash in a game that's this intensely bent on pushing an initial purchase. Until I see a guarantee that this is it, I can't recommend otherwise.

Super Mario Run launched on iOS today, giving folks a chance to see what a runner game through the lens of Nintendo looks like. But the mustachioed plumber isn't the only playable character, as it turns out. There are a handful of other familiar faces to control, and now we have details on how you can unlock them.

We were expecting Super Mario Run on Android today, but some users have got their hands on Mario's running game as of yesterday afternoon. That isn't all the good news for the game, though, as Nintendo has also informed us of the fact that the iOS version is updated to 2.0, which adds new Yoshi colours, more free content, and introduces new buildings and collectibles.

As an Android owner I was especially bummed to hear about the exclusivity of the app to Apple. Unlike Pokemon Go which rolled out to Android and Apple simultaneously, Super Mario Run is lock into the Apple ecosystem for the foreseeable future. I expect we will see the game sometime next year. As a bit of an aside, many Android users may look to side load an APK of the game. Be super cautious of this, as unlike Pokemon Go, there is no Android version of Super Mario Run anywhere on the market.

Do you enjoy playing Super Mario Run but find it a bit too taxing for your tastes? If this is the case you'll be delighted to know that Nintendo have rolled out a update today which adds an "Easy Mode", giving the player unlimited time and bubbles to clear the course. This really takes the pressure off, and should make the game a little more palatable for younger players.

While I personally believe in the superiority of the freemium model compared to the paid model, I do disagree with the pessimism of the analysts bashing Nintendo. The way I see it, Super Mario Run made four decisions which allowed it to gain an extraordinary return on investment while making a game that they're masters at.

Super Mario Run is a vintage platform game categorized by two-dimensional graphics and a player controlled character jumping or climbing between solid platforms at different positions on the screen. There are two key usability components, which allow SMR to play beautifully on touchscreen devices. Firstly, the touch controls are simplified and streamlined to allow the game to be played using only one hand. As Mario auto-runs, a player is only controlling the jumping of the character. Secondly, the usability breakthrough is the session length as SMR caters to all kinds of session lengths from super short to hours long. By limiting each level to only 90 seconds, the game fits perfectly to the common short mobile session. At the same time, there are no mechanical restrictions, such as lives, to keep players from binge playing Mario for a much longer session if they choose to do so.

While the freemium model is and will be superior to the paid model on mobile, sometimes there's a case to be made the paid model as well. Games that offer very limited content with low replay value are likely to struggle despite implementation of a solid core loop. In those cases going with a paid option may be a very viable option, which can offer surprisingly good return given that Apple and Google do the heavy lifting of actually promoting the game.

Japanese video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, who helped create Mario, joined Apple CEO Tim Cook on stage at the company's iPhone 7 unveiling event today in San Francisco to offer a sneak preview of the iOS version of Super Mario Run.

Pokemon Go is also coming to the Apple Watch, its creator Niantic announced at Apple's event today. When you approach a Pokestop or come across a Pokemon, your watch will vibrate to let you know. To collect items, you can swipe on the watch without having to whip out your iPhone. The Watch interface also displays a summary of your fitness activity while playing the game, such as the number of steps taken. 2ff7e9595c
