When will Mario come to iPhone and iPad: what is Super Mario Run's release date? How much will Super Mario Run cost, and which iPhones (and iPads) will be able to run Super Mario Run? And how can I install and play Super Mario Run and other Nintendo games on iPhone?
Super Mario Run is launching on iPhone very soon! At Apple's iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus launch event on 7 September, most of the hardware announcements had been leaked in advance. But the company had at least one big surprise up its sleeve: Nintendo's gaming icon, Mario, will appear on iPhone in the form of an auto-runner game called Super Mario Run. And now that Nintendo's press embargo has passed, we're able to tell you a bit more about the game and our experience with the pre-release version. (For more of that, see our Super Mario Run preview.)
Until now, Nintendo has kept Mario off mobile devices, with the exception of its own handheld consoles, so this is a major coup. Apple even got Shigeru Miyamoto, the legendary games designer behind Mario (and Zelda, and plenty of other classics) to appear on stage and announce the game in understandably halting English.
But when will Super Mario Run for iPhone be released in the UK, and how much will it cost?
Updated, 9 December 2016, with news that Super Mario Run apparently requires an internet connection to play - even n single-player mode; on 24 Nov, after Nintendo started teasing Mario Run's launch with a series of teaser tweets; on 15 Nov, with the exciting news that Super Mario Run will launch on 15 December (but apparently not in China?), and the full game will cost £7.99 to unlock; on 11 Nov, to report predictions that Super Mario Run "can earn one billion downloads" and will spread "just as quickly as Pokemon Go"; and on 30 Sept to discuss the reasons why Super Mario Run will come to iPhone first and Android next year.
