Our Take
I am still surprised a Mario game is coming to a non-Nintendo platform, but I think it's the right call and I am excited to play it. I also like that it's not free-to-play in the traditional sense. I am so tired of not being able to really buy mobile games. I don't like being nickel and dimed.
