Along with Pokémon GO, the launch of Super Mario Run at the end of last year 2016 was one of the most important events as far as mobile games are concerned, however, the popular plumber made his irruption exclusively on the iOS devices of Manzana.
Although the company has already announced it previously, it has not given a specific date, and although now it has not specified too much, we do have a more specific date for its arrival on Android devices. Nintendo has announced that Super Mario Run will be available on the Google Play Store for Android sometime next March.
Super Mario Run prepares to land on Android devices
Indeed, if you have an Android device and you "die" to play with Mario on your smartphone or tablet, now you can activate the countdown because in less than two months, Super Mario Run will be available for download in the Google app store.
Super Mario Run made its exclusive debut for iOS in mid-December; three months later it is available to all Android users
Nintendo opened pre-registration for Super Mario Run on Android last month, but was unable to offer an exact release date. And although we only have it now, we do know that it will arrive in March.
If there are no last minute news, Nintendo will continue on Android the same strategy started on iOS devices. Super Mario Run will be a free download game that will offer users three levels of play before requesting a payment of 9,99 euros to continue. The good news is that it is the only in-app purchase you will have to make, that is, for that price you will already have the full game and forever.
For those who do not know the game (it is hard to believe after the almost excessive marketing campaign carried out by Nintendo and Apple), Super Mario Run is an «endless runner». The protagonist runs continuously to the left of the screen, without the user being able to control his speed or backing up. Its operation is simple, but it gets complicated as you progress through the game. It can be played with just one hand, in fact, with just one finger because all you have to do is touch the screen, but you have to do it at the right time.
Fire Emblem Heroes is ahead of Super Mario Run
Along with the confirmation of the next arrival of Mario and his adventures, Nintendo has also announced the release of its next game for mobile devices, Fire Emblem Heroes, which will be officially available for Android smartphones from next February XNUMXnd.
Fire Emblem Heroes is a completely new and original story in which two kingdoms will face each other.
Nintendo says the new game features "new art, hand-drawn by a variety of artists," as well as new recorded voices.
Few more details are known about this new game, however, the Nintendo company yesterday launched a new online campaign on its website under the title "choose your legend." In it, users can vote for their favorite characters from versions of the Fire Emblem game from previous years. The characters who are victorious in this vote will arrive in the game that will be released this year with "special versions".
Fire Emblem Heroes, unlike Super Mario Run, yes that will include optional in-app purchases. As the company has announced, it will be available on the Google Play Store for Android devices on February XNUMX, while for iPhone and iPad will be coming "soon".
Nintendo promised last year that it would release five games for mobile devices and, although it later lowered expectations to four, the fourth title is expected to be Animal Crossing, of which its arrival date is still unknown.
