Nintendo has announced that Super Mario's first ever mobile game will be released on iPhone and iPad on December 15th, 2016.
Super Mario Run is not a free-to-play game. Instead, the game follows a more traditional "demo" model where players get to try some elements of the game for free then pay a onetime cost of $9.99 to unlock unlimited access to the full game.
"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 December 15th, 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.
