Default Super Mario Run - Android.

I was hoping they'd hold out for a bit longer, but at least it's easier to blame Android pirates for the always online bit now.

It's going to be interesting to see the reaction, Android users aren't used to paying for things.

Why pay for something you can steal?

This is why you need an internet connection to play a sideways scroller.

Don't get it. It's terrible.

My neice got it and you get 3 free levels. In typical Nintendo greedy incompetent fashion they try to hobble anything that's not on their stupid platform. I love Nintendo games. But Nintendo is a retard of a company and it needs to go bust for it to change.

Oh no, a game without advertising that wants you to pay towards it's development to play... terrible.

It's a great game, challenging at the later levels and very Mario.

I thought you was the resident nerd? Yet you can't even see they fee 2 pay game that is just a money grab? It's not a good game. They are using the Mario ip and that's why they can charge.

What? Fee to pay? You mean buying a game? Or are you complaining that they provided 3 trial levels. How terrible.

They made this page for you http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhon...re.asp?c=72473

Why not charge for the game then? Because they can make more money by making you buying tokens etc which is an in game currency. It's worthless. They do this because they get more money out of you. If you fall for it. That's cool.

What? They do charge for the game. That site is a parody showing how the game would be if you didn't have to purchase it, you were moaning about having to pay for it now you're saying you should have to pay for it.

Show me where I said that. Please.

If you don't understand how fee 2 pay works then that's on you, £7.99 for a game is a lot of money but fine but it's the sneaky way they try to charge you.

There you go. You're moaning that you have to pay for it, then you're incorrectly moaning that you need to pay more, there are no in game charges. Maybe your niece has fed you baloney.

Hence it being a perfect platform for Apple fans, easy to get them to pay for anything.

True, games are childish, you should try picking on the fools that spend thousands rather than £7 though.
