Apparently they said they aren't adding shit

[demi]

Lol you guys paid for an advert-demo for the switch

[seagrams hotsauce]

It's fine, but definitely not worth the price. 18 levels is pretty thin. Doesn't leave me optimistic about mobile Nintendo, but I'll probably still be throwing them another ten for AC whenever that

Really wish the bonus game wasn't so weak/useless and boring.

Nintendo; way to onboard:
First, choose "region" - being in the United States "region," you get to scroll all the way down to "U" instead of having the store detect ANYTHING by the region set by the store. Why not start with that?

Second, "link Nintendo account" drops you on a page with two choices: "Create Nintendo account" or "Create Nintendo Account for a child" What if you already have one? What if you just want to sign in? Well, actually, that's under Create. For some reason.

The game itself is alright. It's slow-paced and seems like replaying even early levels for completion could be fun. But, sheesh, Nintendo really exists in its own little bubble, and still doesn't seem to understand basic stuff like this for apps.

It linked with my existing account pretty easily but yeah the region stuff was a total WTF.

Knowing Nintendo the game probably doesn't have metrics of any kind so they have no idea what and where their drop offs or pinch points are.

40 million downloads in 4 days, #1 Free App (lol) in 140 countries.

Suck it, boisssss.

But so what?  It's free to download.  Didn't they say that out of those 40 million downloads...two million paid the $10 fee to continue playing?

Yeah, possibly. And I think the majority of them didn't know beforehand that Nintendo announced it was going to cost money, so I doubt even half of the ones who paid are still playing it.
What would have been the best way to put it out as a free demo anyway? Two separate items in the App Store? (Genuinely asking.)

5% attach rate is pretty strong. It's a fun fuck-you to the current F2P market, will be interesting to see longterm performance and if they add stuff.

Add stuff? This is Nintendo -- $10 sequels maybe

They already said they wont add content

But then i already saw Xmas stuff so...

[Cerveza mas fina]

I dont understand how Bork can be downplaying the success of this game but on the other hand defending pos like the switch

[Valkyrie]

They also added a new game mode, but it was technically already in the game, just different rules.

[AdmiralViscen]

They just unlocked existing content server side, there was no app update

Suck it, boisssss. 

It isn't even on the top 10 paid apps in the US. 10 is too steep and should be 4-5 dollars.

Agreed, it should have been half the price. I don't feel anything having paid more, but it's clear it has disappointed the majority, and that's understandable. I wonder if they'll learn next time, or just stay away from the smartphone market. It's #15 on Top Grossing here, but spammed with 1-star reviews. I think it's at 3.5 or something. How about the US App Store?

[a slime appears]

People who whine about the cost of games should never be allowed to whine about the F2P market.

[Sho Nuff]

I would argue the F2P market is too stupid to realize $10 is a good deal for a complete game

[AdmiralViscen]

I think the problem with this game is that most people would have stopped at $2 if it was f2p

[Huff]

10 dollars is too much for a meh game

shrug

[Valkyrie]

Good God, these black coins will be the death of me.

I mean, it's a mushroom kingdom. Their blood is probably rainbow colored by now.

I lwt my daughter play with my phone and she reset my progress so i deleted this
