Nintendrones will defend this.
>Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario, has revealed that you will need an Internet connection to play Super Mario Run. Speaking with Mashable, Miyamoto said that the decision had been taken to combat the game’s piracy. “For us, we view our software as being a very important asset for us,” he added.
So basically the game is unplayable if you're outside in a rural area where 2G is considered a rarity.
nobody will "defend this", as nobody fucking cares
Anyone has access to internet 24/7 nowadays, idiot. That's far from being an issue. I'll day-one buy it anyway, enjoy, and you Sonyggers can stay jealous that we have games to play.
nintendrone here
literally don't care because its a smartphone game. why not shitpost about an an actual game?
Not even Nintendo fans will defend this. Sorry but you'll have to come up with a new bait pasta
>The entire world is New York and Seattle
Jealous over a smartphone game? You're delusional.
>jealous
>sidescrolling temple run with NSMB 2 skin
okay
It's a fucking smartphone game you retarded shitter, you know with access to internet as long as you're not in some backwater shitfest?
If you don't have a smartphone in [almost 2017] for God's sakes why don't you just fall off the face of the Earth you literal nobodies.
WHO CARES?
im not paying $10 for a mobile game.
I don't even live in any of those places and I'll be able to play Super Mario Run whenever I want.
>combat the game's piracy
>gets cracked within a day
Screencap this. Nintendo is horrible at security.
Has a mobile game ever been cracked before?
Well, all the "I have unlimited Data so everyone does" people are here, so i guess that's already /thread
of course, user
>the rest of the world is timbuktu
>It's a mario with auto run
>Can't be played on the airplane.
Back to the 3ds NEXT.
>£7.99 for a mobile game with always online DRM
top kek
What's to defend exactly? This is actually fairly common practice within mobile games.
Why even own a smartphone if you live in a place with almost no cell service?
>for iPhone and iPad
Oh
Oh well I'll just stop paying attention anyway then
Riddle me this, user.
Why in the world are you playing a phone game or even using a phone in an area where there's no cell service anyway?
>cell service is the same as consistent data connection
>data is free
astounding how everyone in the modern world can have one of these things in their pocket yet not understand some of the absolute basics regarding the device
>Cool looking 2D platforming game on iphone
Holy shit I can't wait
>Needs internet connection to play
WHY
>SONYGGER!!!!!

>there is no reason to own a smartphone if you don't have a good connection
this thread speaks volumes about the current Sup Forums userbase
Clearly microsoft was just a couple years early with the DRM-ridden version of the Xbone
Na its just Nintendrones showing their IQ average
I was referring to data service, not voice/SMS. If all you get most of the time is voice and SMS, you're better off getting a $5 flip phone. Things are damn near indestructible and can go for a week without charging.
There's no point in having a device that depends on a constant internet connection for the majority of its features if you don't have a constant connection.
Anyone why would you be using a phone in an area with no internet service?
Why would you use a phone without the internet turned on?
You're not a pirate are you?
>Game is offline
>People just download the apk and play for free.
I mean someone will probably patch it so you can, but considering how incredibly easy it is to pirate games on an android is basic business security sense.
>Implying it's releasing for Android
topkek
Many of the most popular Jp mobile games like puzzle and dragons are online only
>this falseflag is actually getting (You)s
well played
just like Nintendo's other massively successful mobile game this year
who would've guessed?
Wait, is it iphone exclusive? That's just silly.
Mobile runners and certain JRPGs on mobile platforms have been online-only or have required online verification for quite some time now. Why single out this particular game?
timed.
>pretend to be nintendrone
>mention sony
>hardware doesn't matter
How to shitpost 101
It is, just not immediately because Apple paid them for a timed exclusive.
Also pirating games on iOS is piss easy, you just need to jailbreak it first.
I can't
-handwrite notes
-listen to music
-play emulators
-record HD video and take HD pictures
-view said media
on a $5 flip phone (at least nowhere to the same degree). The word smartphone is really stupid considering they are pocket computers that have the added advantage of cell phone features
don't be a closed-minded ninny. None of those require internet access of any kind and can be done with the SIM card removed.
Yes. I used to do it a lot
So is Diablo 3, and there's people that defend that.
Then get a PDA or used smartphone. If you want something for entertainment you're much better off getting a tablet or laptop.
nothing more cathartic than seeing those same people griping about being unable to play on launch day and being rightfully harangued for daring to moan about it after being so fucking for the system they put in place
Goddamn I love it when other people are wrong
I'm more pissed about it only having 24 short ass levels.
what the fuck kind of logic is this
>hurr not online why hav smartphone
>these reasons
>oh well buy a used smartphone
I legitimately don't know what the fuck you think is going on here, but I own a new-ish smartphone, cell service can be spotty, ESPECIALLY when I'm travelling (when i'm most likely to be messing around with games on my phone). Most of the things I do work fine regardless of cell service. Nintendo going on about 'muh piracy' is simply ensuring they'll never get my money because the game might be unplayable
I don't see what's so goddamn hard to understand about this.
more like pirates will be angry about this, you fat slob
>Make a game for a handheld.
>You need a stable source of internet to play our games
>Meaning you can't play in a park, train, mcdonalds, you know, the places that japs loves to play their handhelds.
Nintendo loves to shoot themselves on the foot itseems.
are you a time traveller from the 70s? we have wireless data now gramps
>legit buyers: "shit i can't play my $8 game because i don't have a solid connection right now"
>Pirates: "i'll try it if it's cracked"
If they didn't care enough to pay, they aren't going to lose their fucking minds that they can't play it while saving a few dollars
this mindset is so bizarre
I wonder how they're going to fuck up animal crossing and fire emblem. I expect fire emblem to be a gatcha game you have to pay $15 ala all the bravest.
Super Mario Running up my bandwidth cost
>wireless hot-spots (which is much more common in japan
>personal data
Pretty easy to get connected in Japan, I'd just be pissed off here in Australia where like 2 places have hotspots.
>play at mcdonalds hotspot
>weak signal drops, switches to LTE
>break your record score
>leaderboard not updated
get ready.
>I wonder how they're going to fuck up animal crossing
The amiibo-required board game and fucky dollhouse weren't enough?
Splitting up a mainline FE game into two seperate games? Screwing with an SMT/FE crossover to the point where it's neither?
The problem for the millionth fucking time isn't that it's always online, it's that it's a mediocre runner. I'd say shitty but that's only for unplayable mobile games
The problem is, Nintendo doesn't want to put any effort in their mobile game that features Mario. You'd think the flagship character gets a quality game on mobile but no.
If you actually are educated in the mobile gaming industry or know two shits about good games and can find them; you'll know there are plenty of better runners out there
This is just some mundane running game with Mario slapped on that provides no inherent reason to play other than being Mario. The fact that it's online at all times doesn't help its case, and certainly neither is the hefty price tag when there are plenty of other games with neither and have quality
TL;dr: Problem here is, it's a mediocre piece of shit on mobile. Not that it's always online or with a price. Why play this when there's plenty of better runners out there? As a result, a mediocre game with nothing to offer that has BOTH a hefty price tag AND a required online link at all times will just turn more people away
just because always online isn't the BIGGEST problem doesn't mean it isn't a pointless annoyance to inflict on the people dumb enough to buy it
two piles of shit is two piles of shit, regardless of size
This man knows what he's talking about
Cock sucking aside, you can't expect this board to know anything about mobile gaming. All they think it is, is clash of clans or Japanese waifu simulator. That's the problem with this board and it won't ever change. Not even by dropping knowledge. But you're right, people are shitting on the game for the wrong specific reasons and not seeing the big picture
>The problem is, Nintendo doesn't want to put any effort in their mobile game that features Mario
kek
>just because always online isn't the BIGGEST problem doesn't mean it isn't a pointless annoyance to inflict on the people dumb enough to buy it
>two piles of shit is two piles of shit, regardless of size
Which is why I'm saying that OP and Sup Forums is attacking this from the wrong point of view
There are other online required games out there, plenty of them. But they all have a purpose beyond just "piracy." From the small indie dev to the huge companies, they do pull this shit with some of their games but it has PURPOSE
People here aren't addressing the fact that it's a mediocre runner game that literally serves no purpose in playing other than being Mario (no collecting coins isn't what sets it apart). Add this mediocrity, which is the core problem, plus the fact that it needlessly requires online at all times AND a overpriced tag attatched to it and you got yourself a fucking mess
>we're not bitching about the game itself at this present moment so we never have and never will
No, we're responding to new information that further damages the game on top of all the shit we've lambasted them for previously. We've known about this game for months. If anything we've overdiscussed this shit
>hotspot
again, what year are we in?
All smartphones are always online you retard
I'm guessing you've never played one of the thousands of match-three games that have timed, server-side life counts? This isn't uncommon at all.
If it came to Android it would get cracked in no time.
Also, nobody cares about mobile games.
>bandwidth cap in 2017
>i guess you've never been to the middle east
he says to the horrified onlookers while beheading a man in times square
>the consumer is in control of the horrid monopolized market that is cell service in North America
yeah, no.
lmao, better not watch those youtube videos or you'll be paying more for those extra GBs :^)
The entire world is San Francisco with free Wi-Fi.
What do you complain about?
>If you actually are educated in the mobile gaming industry or know two shits about good games and can find them; you'll know there are plenty of better runners out there
And most people don't, so it's not hard to figure out why this will be successful.
It records text of every word you speak and saves copies of all of your texts so that Nintendo can sell your personal data to marketing companies. But yeah I'm sure you'll be fine if you've never wrote anything that's politically incorrect.
>Nintendo should go mobile
>Not like this
