Super Mario Run is to release onto iOS before the end of the year, at first this was incredible news but it has put a damper on two upcoming mobile games from Nintendo.

Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem were both set to come out before the end of the year but since the announcement of Super Mario Run they have been delayed.

“After the launch of Super Mario Run in December, Nintendo plans to deliver its previously announced mobile device titles in the Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem series before the end of March 2017,” Nintendo have said. “Based on a variety of factors, we felt it was most appropriate for Super Mario Run to launch ahead of these other two apps.”

Super Mario Run will launch towards the end of the year and become Nintendo’s second mobile game after Miitomo. They will later be joined by Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem as part of Nintendo’s movement into mobile gaming.

Finally. 35 years after we first saw Mario, he is coming to the mobile. For the first time you will be able to play a Mario platformer on your iPhone.

This year we really have seen mobile game revolutionise with the introduction of Pokémon Go which took the world by storm and gained over 500 million downloads. Now it looks like mobile gaming is going to take an even bigger leap forward with the introduction of Super Mario Run. 2016 will see Pokémon and Mario, the two biggest gaming franchises, come to mobile.

Play as your favourite Italian plumber on the mobile from December 2016. The game will be a free download on iPhone and iPad.

I am very excited for this game!
