I'd pay that for a Pokémon FireRed (hell, even the original Red) port, as for an endless Mario runner, not so convinced yet.
Got a tip for us?

People complain about a $10 game that they can play forever, while not batting an eye paying $6 for a cup of starbucks.
Having said that, considering people are jailbreaking their iOS device to pirate 99c games, I'm not surprised. Good thing Nintendo did this on iOS first, since iOS users are at least more likely to be willing to pay for something.

This attitude is exactly why the App Store is full of trash. Nobody's going to spend money on anything but IAPs, so why actually try to make a good game?
Have you not linked your accounts? It's free.

There are no in app purchases, it's an outright $9.99...you're just proving the point that this isn't a cash grab meant to abuse being locked into a specific device.
I'm kinda going to have to buy this just because Mario, and therein lies Nintendo's real strength; their beloved IP. This will be on the front of the app store and it will sell like hotcakes through the entire holiday season.

They're not, but are we sure that this is going to be an IAP, or are they going to release a demo version of the game alongside it? I don't think I've seen anything that's said either way, but I'll keep looking.
People can't have it both ways. You either have IAP (which most people do not like) or you pay for the game, and continued development, up front.
I really don't think it's a cash grab, I bet a lot of work went into the game and I'm happy to pay for it.
Yes, I've been using family sharing since it's been available.
It's been mentioned that the game is a free app, and then there's an in app purchase to unlock all the content. Not a big deal, just pointing it out. It's how Nintendo seems to be describing the purchase, unless there will be two versions available - free + iAP and paid up front?

If Mario Run dispensed caffeine then I imagine people wouldn't complain about the $10.
I know it's Mario, but $ 9.00 ?????
Someone is gouging on the demand...

I got one Friday morning. I can't believe how much they are going for now lol
Edit figure I would take a pic for the post
im SOOOOOOO jealous! I can't wait to get mine.
Yeah, I just saw that press release, and it does sound like that's what they're describing. Still, maybe there will be two apps, and if not the game may be worth buying a couple of times. We'll have to see how it shakes out once it's released.
Maybe both could be an option? All I've seen so far is Nintendo's wording, which seems to mean a free app so you can get an idea of the gameplay and then the $10 purchase to unlock all levels/options. Which in reality that is the reason for in app purchases and isn't a bad thing.
Way too expensive for what it seems like. I could be wrong. I'll probably wait for some flash sale pricing and nab it then.
Sadly, once again, Nintendo is missing out on sales while these things are hot and everyone is talking about it. At least this pretty much guarantees we'll see a Super Nintendo Classic, which in hindsight is my favorite console from my childhood. I just hope it comes with a cord longer than 30" for crying out loud. If they need to save on cost, I'll gladly supply my own HDMI cable to get either wireless controllers or a longer cable.
$9.99 for a full Nintendo game - with no need for continued `coin pack’ in-app purchases. Refreshing.
