News & Reviews:   Nintendo

Three years ago, Apple acquired the rights from Nintendo to publish Super Mario Run on its Apple Store and nothing really happened after that. However, that all changed from an announcement from Nintendo of America's Twitter page, saying Dr. Mario World will be the latest mobile game for both Apple and Android devices starting from 10 July 2019.

Nintendo in partnership with Hori has unveiled two very unique Pokemon themed MicroSD, starting from as low as 3758 Yen(~RM144) for the 32GB Pikachu edition, while the 64GB Poké Ball edition will go for 6458 Yen(~RM248) a pop. Both the microSD cards are expected to be available this year, starting July 2019.

Today, Nintendo has stormed the Apple Store by releasing Super Mario Run. Introduced in September during the Apple event, Super Mario Run is a casual one-handed + running gameplay in a 2D environment, the app also allows you and your friends to have friendly competitions and even a world building setup.

Nintendo has long been a stranger in the mobile gaming space, even though their games are generally suited to be played on small screens such as on smartphones. Not anymore – during the launch of the iPhone 7 event, Nintendo announced that Super Mario Run will be heading to iOS.

An announcement from Nintendo recently told the world that the two big game titles will be heading to the mobile space this fall (around September or so) - Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem. With the two big titles heading to the smartphone platform, we may see more Nintendo games coming to a small screen near you soon.
