Yesterday during Apple’s iPhone presentation, the Cupertino company surprised everyone when they brought Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto on stage in which it was announced that Nintendo would be releasing Super Mario Run as an iOS exclusive.

Miyamoto, who helped create the original Super Mario, appeared on stage to talk the audience through Nintendo’s latest project.
Called Super Mario Run, the game is simple, comparative to Temple Run in style. The game will also have a “Toad Rally” mode that will allow players to take on friends and strangers in a ghost challenge mode.
We’ll let you know more details on the Super Mario Run release date when we can but for now you can sign up for a notification on the App Store. In addition, there is a mode in which you create your own Mushroom Kingdom based upon these play results.
Nintendo also announced that new iMessage stickers featuring Mario are set to launch alongside iOS 10.
“All you need to do is tap the screen to make Mario jump, as he automatically runs to the right without any input”.
Just like the traditional 2D Mario level, players will collect coins as many as they can in a set of time, before they reach the flagpole at the end of the game.
Super Mario is finally on the iPhone. While pretty much everyone is hyped for the game, two lesser known titles in the Nintendo universe saw themselves pushed to the back burner.
It remains to be seen what sort of pricing models we can expect from either Animal Crossing or Fire Emblem games.

Super Mario Run won’t be the first app Nintendo has released into the wild-that honor goes to Miitomo-but it will be the first original game from Nintendo available on iOS and Android.
