The hit game broke App Store records when it first launched on iOS back in December 2016, reaching 40 million downloads in a matter of days. It was a sign that the digital plumber’s popularity had not waned since the ’80s – proving as much even on a new platform.
Since late December, Android users have been able to pre-register for the game, with the promise of being notified when it’s finally available for download. Today, gamers finally have a specific month to look forward to.
Super Mario Run is a mobile-friendly take on the franchise’s signature 2D platforming gameplay. Mario runs automatically, with the player tapping on the screen to make him jump. The iOS version retailed for $9.99, a price tag that Nintendo faced some criticism for. No word yet on whether the Android version will retail for the same price or less. – Rappler.com
