'Super Mario Run' Review & Issues: So far the newest mobile app released by Nintendo received applause and positive reviews from gamers around the world. However, there is one issue that players seem to hate - it can't be played offline.
Decades ago, 'Super Mario Bros.' became the most popular video game, which resulted to numerous developments to be played on the latest gaming platforms and consoles. It can be considered among the best - if not the top - grossing video game of Nintendo. The latest release is for Android and iOS platforms named as 'Super Mario Run'.
To be honest, people believes that Nintendo was able to master designing games for mobile apps, as 'Super Mario Run' worked flawlessly for the avid gamers. But the only problem so far is this - it doesn't work offline.
You need to stay connected to the Internet if you want to play the game continuously. So if you are on the middle of the game and then you lose your connection - then you're game over. That very idea left the video game on negative remarks for many players.
But what can Nintendo say about the reaction of the public? They believe that online connectivity is essential for playing the game in order for gamers to experience a variety of features and services only offered thru online connectivity. So in order to play 'Super Mario Run', make sure you have enough data, or keep yourself connected to Wi-Fi.
Another reason for Nintendo making an internet-dependent mobile game is to prevent piracy issues. Keeping a game internet-dependent will prevent hackers to cheat their way for certain bonuses or in-game credits. So it is safe to say that 'Super Mario Run' is created to be a profit-generating mobile game with minimal risk of piracy.
Either way, 'Super Mario Run' is being enjoyed by millions of mobile gamers worldwide, and for the meantime, as long as Nintendo keeps the game "online", then it will be online.
