I'm not a big gamer but I do love a bit of Mario, fantastic that Nintendo have started writing native apps. I remember being laughed at here for predicting the impact of the iPhone on gaming, it was obvious to most.

I'd expect it around 6pm UK.

 

Speaking of iOs gaming, have you tried Zwift on the iPad? It's fantastic.

 

Mario looks awesome. Like the old games from when I was a kid.

 

games have been around on phones for a while have they not ? certainty on my viewty ( first touchscreen )

 

the turbo trainer you can have on any computer ?

 

have you tried sonic, its just like the mega drive version

 

The mario game is licensed specifically for the iOS and comes directly from Nintendo by what I'm aware of.

 

I've just blown my toy money on a new Paragliding Harness, I would love a Turbo but it's hard to justify when going out riding is pretty easy for me.

 

iOS makes it way more awesome for me as I already mount my iPhone on the bars.

 

I woüld really like to hope you know that's not the point...

 

Nope, you've lost me.

 

The fact it's available on Windows (and Mac OS) is completely immaterial given the thread is about gaming on iOS.

 

i think the gist of the thread is the notion/gloating that apple (iPhone) can steal away Gameboy market !

 

I think you're reading far to much into it

Besides, what Gameboy market? Nintendo have all but disappeared from the portable gaming sector.

 

That happened in 2008 when the App Store came out, you could see the potential via Jailbreak in 2007. I'm not sure if Nintendo are geniuses or not by waiting so long.

 

I've still got a game boy actually. Boy those things looked dated know haha

 

Someone must have hooked it up and gone for a ride, augemented riding.

 

Mine isnt working the app keeps crashing. Anyone else have this problem?

 

Na mines fine mate

 

Ive uninstalled it 3 times and still not working! FFS!

 

Maybe your phone needs a soft reset ?

 

Tried the reset, doing a restore now!

 

Wow all you can do is jump.

Great game play hahaha

 

Sure i've seen it done somewhere, though tbf i'm using a Tacx tablet older and that's good enough really.

Should get Sonic instead, that's much better.

 

dont know if thats tongune un cheek, but with sonic you can uses propper controls,

left/right/up/down, spin and jump

 

The game is designed to be as simple as possible with the ability to play with one hand. Nintendo are very good at it. Saying all you can do is jump shows ignorance, you can do much more, if you'd said it's all one button then that's true and as designed.

 

Nope genuine comment, if you want to get your fix of retro gaming on a tablet then Sonic is the way to go. Either that or most of the more recent Grand Theft Auto games are available these days.

 

Good game but there's no sound on my iPhone 7, I've tried restarting my device, deleting the game and reinstalling but still nothing.

I hope they sort it out soon.

 

I suppose,

I'm just not that intelligent to say that. ...

 

What will you do with the other hand
