However, what Fallon didn’t observe was that on the table from which he took a smartphone to play “Super Mario Run”, there was also a peculiar yellow box, shaped to look like a Coin Block. It’s the exact same game as the console version and it sounds like it’ll be a real game changer.
In a new teaser for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime and Mario co-creator Shigeru Miyamoto had showcased the new console for its first-ever demo.
Super Mario Run launches on December 15 in 100 countries exclusive to iOS devices, but what if you want to play right now?
Just to make things more interesting, Reggie brought the man responsible for Mario, Zelda and a host of legendary Nintendo games Shigeru Miyamoto along to see how Jimmy did.
Considering the fact that Nintendo is a Japanese company, it is expected that their games are launched locally first, before being released worldwide. The majority of these people will probably have never played a Super Mario game before and that’s why Nintendo’s saying Super Mario Run has been made an “entry point” to the series.
Nintendo’s set to provide more details about the Switch in January next year, not least its all-important retail price. He then showed how the switch can be used as a portable device. Jimmy Fallon got a chance to have first hands-on experience of the game.
Of course, that means that when you detach the controllers from the Switch, players have two shoulder buttons each.
Back in October, Nintendo lifted the curtain on their highly anticipated new console, the Nintendo Switch.
However, it should be noted that the transition from playing on the big screen into playing on the Nintendo Switch’s own display was covered up.
