So what if you had to scroll down a list of countries. That is what every other Non US country deals w almost daily w most stuff.

Rather spend it on lunch, and use the 99 cents to buy exactly the same game with a different name.
I can't believe people don't understand that the joy in a Mario game is getting all the coloured coins and not just completing the levels. Its like 3 staring an angry birds level. Im actually dumb founded and £8 is not a lot of money.
US should be at the top if you're in the US. It's online. It can figure out where you are.
You should know most Country lists that you see on the web don't do this. Its a manual adjustment.
If the game already was configured to know it then you would not even need to put your country.
The joy of not being able to go back and collect the coins you've missed. This game is no fun. I'd rather buy 10x $1 games without Mario.
Yes, I'm well aware of this, and have been very annoyed by this for many years. It's a real usability problem.
You would still need the option to select your country because no method of detection is totally accurate in all cases. But it would work well for most users.

In 2016 we should be striving to design world class user experiences in all our software, not excusing things as "not a big deal".
Fair enough - I was thinking it was $10 regardless, but of course its only $10 after the free levels. I still think it'll do well though.
But let's face it - any $2.99 games of similar quality are astonishingly good value for money.
People complaining about having to scroll through a list to select one's country.
I actually like that. Feels proper old school NES days that way.
But yeah, people rather play freemiums full of ads or where one needs to pay to get really somewhere in a game.
I prefer paying a one off.
Think about it this way, it's - not even - the price of skipping on two Starbucks chai lattes.

Yes, but sometimes an automatic selection is annoying. You may not be in the region where you usually live, or wish to choose a different one. I really do think that something like this is not important to the product at all and doesn't make the user experience worse. If anything, it helps people remember the alphabet.
Seriously though, making everything automatic is sometimes counterproductive too. But that's a completely separate topic, and at the end of the day this only delays you from playing the game by.. 10 seconds?
I love everyone whining about the price of the game. It's NINTENDO's first iOS release ever. It's MARIO.
It's going to be more than your jabroni jobber $2.99 no name studios.

People also don't seem to read a little into this game. It's got actually more depth than one would think at first sight.
You can build your own kingdom by completing levels and earning coins.
There are mini levels to be played.
There are Toad rallies to complete.
And one nice element is the bubble.
Tap the bubble and you can actually GO BACK quite a bit in the level to collect missed coins.
It's not about simply running and finishing the levels asap. It's about unlocking new stuff by completing the levels as well as possible.
Tons of fun for an iOS game.

Always-on connection requirement killed all interest I had in buying / playing the game.
It lost connection once while riding the subway home, and the screen got stuck on a 804-1000 error screen ever since, regardless of the number of times I closed the app / rebooted my iPhone.

Already addicted and I'm not a gamer (though at one point I actually owned a full size stand-up Donkey Kong arcade game, my wife and I sold it because our hands and wrists were getting beat-up from the constant competition)...but I wonder the long term effects of my constant pounding on the screen to get Mario to jump???
This is EXACTLY a freemium game. ALL freemium games you can play without paying, but you have to collect things or wait a certain time limit to unlock content OR you can pay to unlock content or unlock the whole game if you are impatient.
Is Apple's warped reality field extending over Nintendo now and somehow they think they are doing things differently then the rest?

The all-worlds-unlocking is tied to the Nintendo ID account so.
1.- iOS Device with App Store Apple ID ''A'': Download App, login with your Nintendo ID, buy the 9,99 full unlock
2-- iOS Device with App Store Apple ID "B": Download App, login with the same Nintendo ID, and voilá All unlocked!
I am utterly addicted to Toad Rally & Kingdom Builder. I've probably spent like eight hours playing the damn thing already.
