I just signed up for the beta. This seems like an interesting idea and could work very well. Smartphones would be perfect for a Mario Kart type game. You gonna give this a try, SW?

Is it more that always online nonsense?

Lol, when's smash for mobile. Wonder if its going to be like Mario run, where you need to buy the game or like the other games they released.

How? Games are terrible on phones.

In Nintendo's case, I've played Super Mario Run, Animal Crossing whatever and some mii shit. While being among the better smartphone games I've played, all of it sucked.

Not sure what you mean.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love another Mario Kart on console, but for a quick pick me up and arcade style racer, I think today's Smartphones have the hardware and the screen size (and also player base) to make it work. Controls aren't going to be too complicated so I don't see that being an issue. Hopefully they don't have a crappy business model. I thought Super Mario Run was ok, but did not play it for very long.

@SolidGame_basic: I think Mario Maker needed a constant internet connection.

Oh. If I had to guess, will probably be an online multiplayer game only.

You don't see controls being an issue. The biggest issue with all phone games. Ok then.

Its ok, I'll be cheating, connecting phone to dock which is connected to a 240Hz monitor and using kb/m or a controller via Bluetooth.
