But "marketing" and "studies" aren't the same thing?
At no point did I imply that Pokémon Go was better than the console games?
Wait, so what was I supposed to fear? So you can't see that your aggressive way of addressing the votes was wrong?
And now you know that word. It's something you do.
Wait, what? I'm a liar now? Because I don't feel pissed?
You missed the point again.
Sound suggestion. I'll make use of that.

What is going on in this thread?
The wait makes people go crazy lol. I think we gotta wait for another 3.5 hours for SMR.
People is just getting mad ahead the imminent launch of Super Mario Run :_)
Calm down, guys! There are copies enough for everyone!

I'm actually wondering if the servers will be down at launch. Depends on how much we have to ping the server to play the game!
Correct. I forgot the always-online thing and now I'm afraid we won't be able to play it D: *grabs his torch*
I thought the same thing, now with the game requiring an online connection and all. And it has like 20 million people signed up to be notified of the release, wasn't it?

Can someone give me a quick rundown on Bully? It's one of the few Rockstar games I never got to play, what makes it different/unique compared to the GTA games?
There are more people downloading iOS updates right away than there are people that will download a game on the app store right away. It'll be fine, what you may encounter is the "game not up yet in my local store / refreshing doesn't help" latency.
But those are Apple's servers, which are mostly fine. SMR's servers are the ones of DeNa/Nintendo. We don't know how it's gonna hold up, but one would assume they have prepared in advance.
Well guys, I am making an iOS INDIE Game of the Year later, where people can vote for indie games. I wont allow big corporations of big franchises, so that thread wont be populated with casuals who only played Pokemon GO (and add other 9 titles just to put it in). You arr welcome.
This isn't nessisary, put Indy games on your game of the year list. The whole point of the GOTY threads, lists, features, to me anyway, has always been the lists building up to the final decision. I could care less what wins GOTY, I want the list of games I didn't play that were in the running. I always find stuff I've not tried, or am motivated to buy games that I had held off on earlier.
As far as I'm concerned, it's the also-ran's that really matter. You individually may not agree with the game of the year, but all these other games get another chance to be in the spotlight. Casuals playing Pokemon Go won't even open the Indy thread, meanwhile someone voting for Pokemon Go in the GOTY thread sees, The Battle for Polytopia or Solitairica.

You may be right. I just think of the millions of gamers who have had issues with day 1 game servers being hammered into oblivion. Hopefully it's a non-issue. I'm going to remain positive until the servers prevent me from playing. :3
DeNa has experience with this kinda thing right? They've launched some pretty big games in the past. Not Mario big tho...

Yeah, those gacha games.
Here's an interesting game coming out next year: Hidden Folks And they are currently looking for beta testers if you are interested. You can sign up here! If you want to help them translate, then this link is for you.
I'm also currently into the Fugl beta and it controls very well, and have some very nicely animated animals you can find while you fly around as a bird.
Yes. Create a Nintendo Account at the bottom.
I'm guessing Mario will be 10 am or so, yes?
I only briefly played it a bit (my uncle died the day I started it and I kinda never went back to it, not the game's fault), but: you had to attend classes and be places at a certain time of day. From what I understand, you also get to play sports or be in a clubs, and you can attend parties or something? I don't know that it's possible to play it like 6-star mayhem style GTA.

Nobody knows really. But it might hit the store in 3 hours time, but that is also just a guess.
Here's another interesting game coming out next year, which is currently in beta until January 3. Durango is a MMORPG where you'll have to deal with survival and rebuilding society, and guess what, dinosaurs are roaming the lands! Nexon is behind it and has worked on it for a few years, but it seems to finally shape up.
I don't know if I'll be too fond on the MMO aspect (even though I like that genre), but the game looks good in the trailer I linked above.

Current rumor is 1pm EST, which is when Apple usually releases software updates.
I don't see where he warned anyone.
Also, who is he to ban? Matt Frost had a way of looking at things, me and others tried arguing with him, and we ended up just disagreeing. And that's fine too, because we can't agree or look at things the same ways with everything.
But hey, I don't speak for him so carry on!

Hopefully The Binding of Isaac though I don't think it'll release this year.
we have 1 week to squeeze BoI in but that expansion was delayed to January so...
probably nothing : (
which would be a shame, will be spending lots of time on trains getting to/from the holidays and BoI would be perfect

The only hope I hold onto of BoI releasing before 2017 is the fact that Tyrone never mentioned the iOS release being in January alongside AB + in the recent blog. Which makes me want to believe that they still might release is before then.
Edit:
Edit:
thanks, will probably pick it up then to see how it is

killercow keeps tricking me on Twitter.
Just imagine a GTA game in a high school setting and you've got the gist of things. I don't remember it breaking the GTA mold all that much other than things related to the setting. Think of it as a really good GTA game that happens to take place in high school.

Okay, got to say, my initial concerns were mistaken. I'm really liking this so far. It doesn't have the speed and bigger movesets of Rayman or Lost Socks, but it counters that with a wide array of special tiles, lengthy multi-route levels, controls and movement that just feels right, and a heavy emphasis on precise timing
