Super Mario Day
 
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.

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/supe...145275343?mt=8

I'd expect it around 6pm UK.

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

Matty81 15 December 2016 03:53 PM

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

cuprajake 15 December 2016 04:39 PM

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

Matty81 15 December 2016 04:43 PM

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...:brickwall

dpb 15 December 2016 06:46 PM

Nope, you've lost me.

neil-h 15 December 2016 06:52 PM

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

dpb 15 December 2016 06:55 PM

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

neil-h 15 December 2016 07:10 PM

I think you're reading far to much into it :lol1:

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.

Matty81 15 December 2016 08:31 PM

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.

jonnyboy82 15 December 2016 08:55 PM

Matty81 15 December 2016 09:21 PM

Na mines fine mate

jonnyboy82 15 December 2016 09:23 PM

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

Matty81 15 December 2016 09:27 PM

Maybe your phone needs a soft reset ?

jonnyboy82 15 December 2016 09:31 PM

Tried the reset, doing a restore now!

cuprajake 15 December 2016 10:03 PM

Wow all you can do is jump.

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.

cuprajake 16 December 2016 08:54 AM

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

left/right/up/down, spin and jump

JackClark 16 December 2016 10:10 AM

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.

Cannon Fodder 16 December 2016 10:50 AM

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. ...
