Miitomo has featured various Nintendo collaborations since launching earlier this year. Today, the latest one went live. Users will find new activities centered around Super Mario Run.
The full announcement notice from Nintendo reads:
According to an interview by Mashable.com, Super Mario Run will require an online connection for all three game modes due mainly to “security elements”.
It seems Super Mario Run will be one of the only Nintendo games to require a constant online connection to function, according to Shigeru Miyamoto. While Miyamoto said that Nintendo attempted to have the World Tour mode be playable offline, but it proved unfeasible due to how World Tour affects the other modes, and how these modes rely on network saves.
When asked about the online requirement and if there were any plans for an offline mode, Miyamoto had this to say:
IGN has uploaded some new direct feed footage of the Super Mario Run demo to YouTube. You can watch the footage below.
Nintendo surprised many of us last night by showing off Switch during The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Zelda: Breath of the Wild took the spotlight, but we were also able to have another look at the Switch unit. IGN captured a few screengrabs and reported on its findings.
The first image features the back of the Switch. When you dive in further and look at it more closely, it appears to have buttons for power, syncing controllers, and Joy-Con release buttons. IGN also speculates that we’ve been given a look at a USB-C or a proprietary port made by Nintendo, as pictured below. The USB-C connection is something that’s been thrown around as a possibility quite a bit over the past few days.
If you visit the Apple Store today, you’ll be able to try out a new demo for Super Mario Run. Off-screen footage of it can be seen below.
