Nintendo Super Mario Run landing on Android on March 23

March 19, 2017 By Ravi Leave a Comment

Nintendo has finally revealed the launch date of Super Mario Run on Android after a lengthy pre-registration period that lasted for months.

Nintendo Super Mario Run was launched on iOS late last year and ever since its launch the Japanese gaming company had been saying that it will be releasing the Android version soon and kicked off the registration page as early as December 2016. Finally Nintendo has revealed that Super Mario Run will be launching on March 23.

Super Mario Run will launch on Android with the version 2.0.0 update with new features such as the ability to unlock World 1-4 in the free version of the game by completing a challenge, and being able to play as new characters. One of the primary reasons why Nintendo had been delaying the launch of Super Mario Run on Android is that it was concerned with piracy and wanted to find a way around it.

“For us, we view our software as being a very important asset,” Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto said in an interview with Mashable. “And also for consumers who are purchasing the game, we want to make sure that we’re able to offer it to them in a way that the software is secure, and that they’re able to play it in a stable environment.”

“The security element is one of the reasons that we decided to go with iPhone and iOS first,” he said. When asked whether security means risk of piracy, he confirmed that this was indeed the case.

“We wanted to be able to leverage that network connection with all three of the [Super Mario Run] modes to keep all of the modes functioning together and offering the game in a way that keeps the software secure. This is something that we want to continue to work on as we continue to develop the game,” Miyamoto said.

Nintendo Super Mario Run landing on Android in March

January 19, 2017 By Ravi Leave a Comment

Nintendo has confirmed that its Super Mario Run will be landing on Android in March – about three months after the game was released for Apple’s iPhone in December 2016. Nintendo made the announcement on its Twitter feed.

Nintendo has been losing out on console front to Microsoft and Sony and in a bid to capitalise on its once successful PC and old gaming console titles, the Japanese gaming giant has decided to resurrect some of those games by bringing them to the mobile front. Super Mario Run represents a belated bid by Nintendo to tap mobile gaming after restricting its most popular gaming character to its own game consoles.

After launching the game on December 15 on iPhone, Super Mario Run downloads topped a record 40 million in just four days. By releasing an Android version, Nintendo can tap a much larger pool of potential gamers.

More than four out of five smartphones shipped in 2016 use the Android operating system, according to market research company IDC.

Analysts, however, note that so far less than one in 10 people who have downloaded Super Mario Run for free have agreed to pay $9.99 to unlock all the features of the game.

One thing to note about Super Mario Run is that the game will not work without an Internet connection. According to Nintendo, the necessity of Internet connection is to combat piracy. Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario, said that they want to not only protect their asset, but also want to ensure that it can provide the buyers of the game an experience that is secure and stable.

Miyamoto said that they considered branching off the World Tour mode into its own app – the only mode out of three that doesn’t rely on Internet connection – to allow offline-play but decided against it in favour of keeping things simple.

Massive 85% discounts on Android games on Google Play

December 31, 2016 By Ravi Leave a Comment

Google has dipped its Google Play into the New Year fever by offering massive discounts on some Android games – up to 85 per cent.

Discounts over holidays isn’t a new thing and Google has time an again offered such discounts on Google Play. However, this time around these discounts are really steep making it a great time to stock up on games that you wanted to own for quite sometime but didn’t have the bucks to spend on. We recommend that you should get your hands on the games you want because the sales won’t last for long.

Some of the games that are being sold off for just a few cents include The Amazing Spider-Man 2 which normally costs $6.99, but is now being offered for just $0.99. Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour is down to just $0.99 as well from $6.99. The $4.99 Assassin’s Creed Identity is also on sale for $0.99 with The Room Three also being offered for $0.99 down from $3.99. Some other games on sale are NBA2K17, Hitman Go, Fruit Ninja, LEGO Jurassic World, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes and Crashlands. NBA2K17 is currently on sale, and that never goes on sale.

These are just a few of the games that are on sale and for the entire list you need to head to Google Play through your smartphone or tablet. Google Play is giving a great treat by including major titles in the sale this time around with quite a few of them now priced just $0.99, but you will find those that are on sale and cost just $0.10, like Table Tennis Touch. We are not sure how long these sales will last because Google hasn’t official revealed the end date and so chances are that the sales will last only for the New Year weekend.

TA-1000 could be the rumoured Nokia E1 Android smartphone

December 31, 2016 By Ravi Leave a Comment

Nokia making a comeback isn’t the question of if, but a question of when and with more and more leaks the answer to that when could be ‘soon’. Reports have surfaced on the web claiming that a certain smartphone with model number TA-1000 has passed the China Compulsory Certification (3C) and this is the highly rumoured Nokia E1.

While the certification information doesn’t reveal a great deal about the smartphone, there are those who link the TA-1000 to Nokia and claim that it is the Nokia E1 smartphone. The 3C listing confirms that the Nokia TA-1000 comes with 5V/2A charging support, which means that the specific smartphone does not support fast charging – which is the reason for the Nokia E1, as that is tipped to be a mid-range device.

The Nokia E1 has further been tipped to come with Android 7.0 Nougat out-of-the-box. The mid-range device is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 600 series processor coupled with 4GB of RAM. The base option for internal storage on the phone is expected to be 64GB. It’s worth stressing that all of this information is based on leaks, and should be taken very lightly.

Nokia is also expected to unveil the Nokia D1C at MWC 2017. The company has also been rumoured to launch a flagship variant named Nokia P with Snapdragon 835 SoC coupled with 6GB of RAM sometime in future. Alleged Nokia P has been tipped to feature a 23-megapixel camera setup.

Out of the five, four new models will have display sizes ranging from 5 inches to 5.7 inches, at QHD or full-HD resolutions. LG Display, Century Technology (CTC), and Innolux will be supplying the panels for the upcoming phones with FIH Mobile serving as production partner.
