Great to see some negative news. Don't want Nintendo to focus too much on mobile.

It's not really negative news...

The decry is about  the price not the gameplay!

 

Who cares if someone writes a bad review just because of the allegedly high price of a game?

Well their stock is down as well. It just makes me think they wont go full force into mobile.

The reviews based on gameplay are just average. It's sporting a 78 on Metacritic, and that's with a few unreasonably high scores that seem to think this title comes together to create a better and more cohesive experience than it actually does. I mean, scores of 100? Perfect scores for a game that is short, lacking in overall content, and who's secondary feature of kingdom building has no real impact or worthwhile reward, thus making the entire Toad Rally mode kind of pointless? It's inflating critical judgment on a title that screams a rush job that Nintendo was scared to put too much content into because heaven forbid they see their mobile games as more than just a demo of their full experiences. Of course, charging outside of standard market pricing for a demo is totally cool because it's Nintendo, right?

Super Mario Run is a waste of time and money. If you've actually played it, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you haven't and are insisting it's great because it's Mario and thus everyone is wrong, then you have no place in the very topic you created.

Nintendo defied mobile market pricing practices, and have charged too much for too little. They fully deserve any and all criticism.

So, all over the internet I'm seeing articles about Nintendo's stock falling after Super mario run proved to be a critical flop... ( only 2 out of 5 stars )

If you check its reviews, you will notice  that most of the negatives ones are about its price.

 

We're talking about I phone and I pad users, those who have  paid a fortune to acquire these devices and many of them pay  a lot of money every year to upgrade to the next gen devices... hah :O

Also a huge proportion of them have probably spend much more money on apps  which have micro-transactions ( Call me Pokemon GO )...

What an irony!

I played it in the apple store I would not even download it for free. If they actually built it so you could control it far less people would be upset it was very lack luster. Some control to it would have made it a much better game.
