Doesn't it have a couple of free levels?

Lol.
Everything good this company was doing in the last months are going to trash in a couple of days.

How? Pokemon is coming in a couple days :P

btw it feels kinda weird having one conversation on three threads.

Edit: Pokémon is in a few days I know..but who wants to count anymore when it's SO close!

I know. But it is fun!

Anyway, I find to be somewhat expensive, also the shortage of Nes Mini and the Zelda rumor.

It has not been a good week for me :(

$10 for a mobile game?

Yea... no thanks.

It should be worth mentioning that the game is free to try, and paying the $10 grants you access to the full game.

Considering that almost every free mobile game follows some sort of transaction model, mobile gamers will no doubt eat this up.

The price is expected.
Mario software must remain premium towards other mobile software. Nintendo cannot dilute the Mario brand too much at this point.

A simple Mario game                       -> 10$
A big, dedicated Mario game         -> 50/60$

That seems acceptable ;-p.

I'll download it (when the Android version will be available), but I doubt I'll buy it: I've never paid for a mobile game before and a Mario Runner is not enough to change my mind...

Anyway, I consider it a good price. They could always lower it later...

I'm sure that its all money. I doubt they spent a lot of money to make this game. It looks like it uses previously used resources so I doubt much was spent outside of the level design. This thing should be pure cash when it launches.

I came here to say the same thing...

It's a good strategy, let the people play a plenty of courses for  free till they get used to that game or even to get addicted to it , and then ask them to pay the not so low price  for the full game...It's difficult to resist!
