"Super Mario Run" is Nintendo's first mobile gaming app. The game's creator Shigeru Miyamoto shared about the latest game which is initially not set to be a free-to-play one.

Miyamoto shared his initial plans for "Super Mario Run" and said that the initial plan is not to bring the game in a free to play space. He added to that they had to speak with the ones who run the shop for the free to play.

Nintendo and Apple worked together to have the app running in iPhones. However, Miyamoto added a twist to the free to play platform. The app is free to download but a $9.99 rate is charged to the user in order to unlock the whole game. This is a one-time charge so for the user to enjoy "Super Mario Run."

Nintendo also wanted to work with Apple so that the game would run exactly how the team wants it. Super Mario Run needs the support from Apple to have the best performance. This first Nintendo mobile game has to be done in a precise manner so that gamers will have the best experience for the game.

In the same report, Miyamoto also shared that Nintendo had a Mario auto-runner experimented years ago. The game was experimented on Wii and 3DS and was the inspiration to bring "Super Mario Run" to iPhones.

Meanwhile, a report indicates that Miyamoto wanted to have made Minecraft. He shares in the same report that the game may have been something that Nintendo has done. Miyamoto expressed that he personally likes the game and thinks that it may also be a good one other than "Super Mario Run."

It seems that Miyamoto thought of making the game similar to Minecraft and he had been impressed by the outcome of the product. In the meantime, "Super Mario Run" will be launched in December 15, 2016 on IOS devices.

"Super Mario Run" may come to Android devices at a later time.
