Super Mario comes to the iPhone: Later for Android

Super Mario Run comes for iOS and Android smartphones


What does the Mario expert say?


The cult game "Super Mario" will soon be available in the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad. This was announced on Wednesday by the famous game designer and "Mario-Inventor" Shigeru Miyamoto as part of the presentation of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in San Francisco. The game will be called "Super Mario Run" and will be available on Apple's App Store from December.


Super Mario Run for iOS and Android


A difference to the Jump & Run classic is that the Mario figure runs automatically. When touching the screen, the figure jumps differently depending on the duration of the printing on the screen. Due to its simple operation and high format, the game lets you play with one hand. Also, a multiplayer mode will be integrated into the app.


The situation on the stock exchange


Shigeru Miyamoto, the developer of the first "Super Mario" game, explains, "We have developed Super Mario Run for a perfect game experience on the iPhone." Super Mario has evolved with every appearance on a new platform and for the first time ever Players can now play a complete 'Super Mario' game with just one hand, so they can play easily when they are on the subway or - my personal favorite - just eat a hamburger. "


Apple CEO Tim Cook emphasized that the game would first appear for iOS. The game will also be available for Android. However, an exact date has not yet been established. One thing is certain: Part of the game is free. The other part can then be purchased for a fee.


The global stock exchanges are already looking forward to the game. As the Handelsblatt reported, the securities in the US rose first. This was followed by a positive trend in the share price of Nintendo in Japan. This rose by 15%. As a reason for the motivation of investors, the Handelsblatt mentions the positive developments already shown by Pokemon GO.
