During the Apple event this month, in which they presented the
iPhone 7
and the
Apple Watch Series 2
, we were surprised by the news that
Nintendo and Apple allied
to launch a new game of the Mario franchise, the
Super Mario Run
. The game will be launched first for devices with iOS and later will come to Android.
A new Super Mario game can be a success, just like Pokémon Go was, but it can also be a failure if it does not convince the user. The day of the presentation little we knew about this new videogame of Mario, but now that they have published a gameplay on
YouTube
, we can say more things.
New Super Mario Run, first on iOS devices.
Nintendo seems to have understood what players of mobile devices are looking for, since their games launched throughout 2016 have caused quite a stir among users.
The launch of Super Mario Run can be a before and after, as the game fits into the genre of
"jump and run"
, in which the character moves automatically. As we have read in the announcement of the game, it can be operated with one hand.
The videogame market of the jump and run genre is
collapsed
, in fact until SEGA's Sonic has several versions within this genre:
Sonic Dash and Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom
. In addition to these, there are many other games of this type with millions of downloads and it is because their control form is perfectly adapted to the touch screens of mobile devices.
The downside is that
we will lose all the beauty of the Super Mario classics
, we will not have to explore, we will not be able to go back, we will not have to look for that secret entrance that appeared after defeating a certain enemy, in short, the game is expected to lose much of the charm of the classics to be able to adapt to mobile devices.
