Welcome to the world of Nintendo - high prices, few sale events, same old IP. It was ever thus.
Disney loves milking Mickey Mouse.
Android loves milking Bugdroid, the Android Robot.
Kelloggs loves milking Tony the Tiger.
Geico loves milking that Gecko.
KFC loves milking Colonel Sanders.
Yeah, all that makes no sense, too. /s
Been playing that ghost n goblins and Zelda non stop lol
The Ghosts 'n Goblins NES port is jank as **** but I carry so much nostalgia for it from my childhood that I can't help but love it.
The version on the NES classic? I thought it played pretty fluent.
$14 Canadian. Not surprising or unexpected.
This just blows my mind! Square Enix charges $17 to $19.99 for Final Fantasy VII on iOS and nobody complains but Nintendo charges $9.99 for a game and people blow up.

Why would families pay for it more than once? Apple has a family setup on iOS so you only pay for stuff once and share it w your family members for free.I know they've said otherwise, but making it an in app purchase instead of just a $10 game/app I bet is partially so families to have to pay for the game multiple times. Bit of a kick in the junk.

Yup. Easy way for them to build up some capital, lol.
Lol an endless runner is not the same as FF. They could have done SMB3 for $10 and no one would bat an eye but an endless runner nope no thanks at $10This just blows my mind!

if that happens, just sign in on that device to download that game then sign out and put the kids account on there. Families still talk on real life.That's what we were discussing earlier. Family sharing does not include in app purchases. So if this Mario Run app is free with a $10 in app purchase to unlock all levels, then it would require multiple purchases within a family.

I see no issues w your statement. Nintendo rarely makes a bad first party game. This game looks very nice but its way too expensive for me since its an endless runner.Welcome to the world of Nintendo - high prices, few sale events, same old IP. It was ever thus.
ITs sad you don't talk to your kidFamilies still talk in real life? Not sure I believe that.
It would probably be myself and my son playing it. In all honesty, if Nintendo has done a good job and we both enjoy the game, I don't mind at all to pay for it for each of us.

ITs sad you don't talk to your kidNevertheless why can't you just sign in on his iPhone app store settings get the game there and then sign out? No loss, no extra $10 OOP and easy to do. If it happens this way.
yeap, I do that for my sister and my mother to put the apps I have that they need.Lol, I know. That's a good thought - signing in once for that app and then signing him back in.
Looks like the game will need an internet connection to work. I get it, trying to prevent piracy. But for an in app purchase on iOS? Is piracy that much of an issue? My first thought is kids playing on iPod touches or iPads while out or in the car and the game won't work.
I guess knowing a pirate market on iOS exists, even for non-jailbreakers, they're not taking any chances. They're probably a bit sensitive with security too after people worked out how to pirate Wii U games by downloading them directly from Nintendo servers.
Not too expensive, knowing the care Nintendo take (and their attention to detail) when producing games.
OMGI have to pay $10 for a game? I thought everything was suppose to be free after I spent $969 years on my iPhone 7+ 256gb. I thought anything I can't physically hold like music, movies, and apps are suppose to be free!
